#2I'm personally in the Georgia Tech Online Master's in Computer Science (OMSCS) program right now and can't say enough good things about it. The coursework is rigorous, deep, and varied, you really do learn quite a bit through the program and more than just random learning on your own, you get a degree out of it. Plus you get the opportunity to do some research and publish papers.

#3All the best for your studies. I also decided to do a mid career masters, but as I did not have a completed undergrad degree I opted for an MBA in AI via a “non prestigious” UK university, as I also wanted part time, online and cheap. I’m a 3rd way through now.

UK doesn’t require undergrad for MBAs?

I'm also a proud OMSCS alum! But "the opportunity to do some research and publish papers" is certainly not the default.
Can you describe how you were able to do that?

#6GAtech seems like the premier online degree both in price and quality. The OMSCS program has continued to add extra content!

I’ve had good experiences working with people from there.

#9Based on what the OP wrote, Georgia Tech's OMSCS program would be worthwhile, especially if they are interested in the systems track. The UT Austin program is also modeled on GA Tech's program and looks especially good for its theoretical ML courses.
OMSCS has a lot of flexibility in being able to attenuate your course load, gives 6 years to complete the degree, and your peers are mostly working professionals. That's a big advantage of online-first programs.

#10I made a spreadsheet to compare cost, time commitment, esteem, and language(s) of AI short courses.
It's 2 years out of date, but might still be useful:

In the end I didn't do any of them because they're less productive than self-teaching (basically YouTube + Kaggle + real personal projects), and I don't value the CV cred highly.
