Chapter 1: The Spark Of Ai
What is AI, Anyway?
Welcome to the world of Artificial Intelligence! You've probably heard the term "AI" everywhere β from your favorite apps to the news. But what does it actually mean?
At its heart, Artificial Intelligence is about creating computer systems that can perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. This includes things like understanding language, recognizing images, making decisions, and learning from experience.
In this course, we'll explore the fundamental concepts of AI, focusing on the exciting field of Generative AI β the technology behind tools that can create new text, images, and ideas. We'll demystify the jargon and show you how these powerful tools work through simple examples and clear explanations. Our 10-chapter journey will cover everything from the basics of AI to advanced topics like AI Agents.
