Is this a scam? (I ask only because of the unsavory-looking graphic design.)
whois ai-class.com shows Thrun (with his stanford.edu email address) as the registrant and administrative contact, so it seems legit.
No, there are fresh videos of Thrun talking about the course and certificate. If it's a scam, it's ripping off a real Stanford AI class taught by Thrun and Norvig.
No, for real. Either you have highly refined taste in graphics or they fixed it.
Ok, cool, then this sounds fantastic.
(No, they haven't fixed it. It just looks wrong to me; the only thing I can put my finger on is too many font sizes. I have very definite instincts about this sort of thing but, sadly, not the vocabulary or the skill to make much use of them.)
There are additional low-status markers-- cluttered design, big sensationalist photograph, exclamation points. The unifying concept might be "we don't trust that our words are enough to get your attention".
As far as I know, it's real.
(Note, although it only seems to list knowledge of probability and linear algebra as prerequisites, apparently it does require a bit more than that and that apparently it's the hard version of the course.)
