AN INTRODUCTION TO RESPONSIBLE AI

Google's Introduction to responsible AI

While this is a half an hour course, amazingly at the end of 10 minutes I was presented with my very first Google completion badge.

Yay, I'm qualified?

I'm happy to report I nailed the quiz with 100% first time but you probably will too if you pay attention to the speaker and apply logic to the questions.
