As usual, this is a course that completely ignores the first, oh, 60 or so years of artificial intelligence research which were dominated by logic-based AI, and places most of the focus on deep learning, as the only kind of machine learning that it talks about at any length.

Sometimes, I despair. It's like AI started in 2012 - and was wrapped up the same year. Deep neural nets, problem solved, AI is all done and dusted.

Did you click through to the course? Chapter 2 is about search algorithms and planning, albeit not in very much depth.
Yes, of course I did. The relative attention given to the majority of work on AI and the last six years or so is disproportionate, to say the least.
