Elements of AI

is a free online training programme which gives users basic knowledge about AI without using complicated mathematics or coding.

The course was developed by the University of Helsinki in collaboration with the educational technology company MinnaLearn.

In Finland, the goal was for one per cent of the population to take the course. This goal has already been greatly exceeded – three per cent of Finns have now completed it.

Finland donated the course to all Europeans, translating it into all official EU languages. By now, over a million people in 170 countries have taken the course.
