Artificial Neural Networks Made Simple: Learn & Create One in Excel (No Coding!)

A.I. is a hot topic in today's world and understanding its basics is more important than ever. In this video, I demonstrate how anyone can build a simple Artificial Neural Network using just Microsoft Excel—no programming needed! Watch as we demystify how neural networks learn, adjust weights, minimize errors, and recognize patterns in data.

Key highlights include:
✅ How neurons, layers, and weights work together
✅ Visualizing the learning process in Excel
✅ Understanding the magic behind AI and machine learning

Whether you're a beginner, a student, or just curious about AI, this hands-on, beginner-friendly guide will make neural networks easy to understand. Perfect for anyone looking to explore the foundations of AI without diving into code!
