Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning for Business (Udemy.com)
The Ultimate Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning course for CxOs, Managers, Team Leaders and Entrepreneurs
Created by: Analytics Vidhya
Last updated July 2025
Our take
Based on the ratings of 26,848 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in July 2025. No course pays to be reviewed.
This is a six-hour, no-code introduction to AI and machine learning aimed at managers, executives, entrepreneurs and MBA students. Analytics Vidhya, a data science community, built it as 49 lectures in 15 sections, with 13 quizzes and no coding exercises. The syllabus moves from what AI can and cannot do, through tools and techniques, to industry and function examples, hiring a team, and the steps of an AI project. It assumes no background, and it really does not need any.
Reviewers mostly call it informative and easy to follow, and several say it suits people new to the field. One liked the final third, where the steps of running an AI project are laid out. The complaints are consistent. Some find it too high-level and theoretical, with few real cases, and one wanted math and references to books. Another calls the intro very slow. A reviewer notes many lectures date from 2020 or earlier, and a Portuguese-speaking student found the narrator's pronunciation hard, so they leaned on subtitles.
With 67,203 students and 26,848 ratings averaging 4.5, it is clearly a popular pick, and about 23,000 of those ratings are four or five stars. The syllabus was refreshed in July 2025, though the older lectures remain. Our read: good as a first pass for someone who needs to follow AI talk in meetings and plan a project. Anyone already working with AI, or wanting frameworks to apply right away, will find it thin, and the early sections can be skimmed.
Pros
- No coding or prior AI knowledge needed, so it works for managers coming in cold
- Covers the practical side: building an AI team, setting up a practice and the steps of a project
- Well-divided sections and 13 quizzes help reinforce each topic
- Industry and function examples show where AI is used, from sales and marketing to finance and HR
Cons
- Reviewers call it high-level and theory-heavy, with few real-world cases or frameworks
- One reviewer says many lectures are from 2020 or earlier and need updating
- Slow introductions drew complaints, and one narrator's pronunciation was hard to follow
Very good and informative Course build for those who are fresh to AI & ML world.
Listed as All Levels, but it suits non-technical beginners best. One reviewer says anyone with AI basics will find it too introductory.

very informative and presented in a user friendly style. However, many lectures are from 2020 or before and should be updated. also, use of real life cases can make it better.

I am an engineer and not a business leader, however, I still learned a great deal from this course and thought the added videos were a fantastic addition.
By Jatinder Singh on 12/31/2025
Really good course for professionals in management. My only ask is if there could be more updates, as some of the modules may have been recorded around 2020 and a lot has changed in AI and ML space since then.
