These are my notes for unit 1 of the AI class.

Welcome to AI

Introduction

Will deliver a good introduction to AI. Going to be a lot of work, but very rewarding.

New videos every week, and quizzes to test your knowledge built into the videos.

For the advanced version of the course are homework assignments and exams. These will be graded to determine if you can master AI the same way any good Stanford student could do it.

If you finish the course the lecturers will sign a letter of accomplishment and let you know what your rank in the class was.

Course Overview

Purpose of the class:

The agent has sensors that measure the environment, and actuators that can affect the environment.
