Hello Community,

I’m currently exploring ways to dive into the world of AI, but there’s a catch—I have no programming experience whatsoever. I’m eager to learn and understand the fundamentals of AI without the immediate need to grasp coding, so I can better understand the subject and be more productive.

I’ve come across various resources and programs, and one that caught my eye is this one: AI Competency Program (https://community.mindstone.com/programs/ai-competency). It seems legitimate and well-structured for beginners.

Has anyone here tried this program? What are your thoughts? Additionally, are there other courses or learning paths you would recommend for someone starting from scratch with no programming background?

Any advice or shared experiences would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you!
