On just a quick glance, the breadth of the topics covered here is stunning.

I also liked this quote from Lecture 23.

> A lot of times we ... confuse value with complexity.

> And many of the things that were the simplest in this subject are actually the most powerful.

> So be careful about confusing simplicity with triviality and thinking that something can't be important unless it's complicated and deeply mathematical.

Nice observations. The trade off is he doesn't go too deeply into anything, but it's a great survey. Especially for people not acquainted with AI outside of ML.

I took this class given by Prof. Patrick Winston a while back, 43 or 44 years ago. I liked it so much back then, it served me well in grad school and for many years after. Next week I'm visiting with an AI company on behalf of potential investors.

Does anyone think these lectures would be a good place to start for someone with web development experience (LAMP + JS) and zero AI & ML knowledge ?

If yes, what is missing from these lectures ( related to AI or ML or Deep Learning ) which has been discovered or developed recently and should be learned during the start ?
