From data to agent: how AI works and how to work with it

An AI agent can hand you a well-organized report in eleven minutes, with figures and recommendations. The hard part is no longer producing it: it is knowing whether it is true. This course goes through, in eight blocks, what is inside an agent —data, probability, models, evaluation, language— so that you can read its work, check it and decide whether to sign off on it.
