About

AI is everywhere—but how many people actually understand how it works?
﻿
In this series, we’re going under the hood. You’ll learn how machines learn, how they think (sort of), how they create, and how they sometimes get it very, very wrong. No coding required—just your curiosity, focus, and willingness to explore beyond the surface.
﻿
We’ll break down:
🧠 How machine learning actually happens (in plain language)
🔗 How neural networks “think” and make decisions
✍️ How AI writes, draws, and even fakes reality
⚠️ Why AI fails—and why that matters
﻿
This is a deep-dive for real learners—not just a casual tour of AI tools. If you’re the kind of person who loves asking “But how does this actually work?”, this is your space.
✅ No prior knowledge needed.
✅ No coding required.
✅ Just bring your brain—and your questions.

Even though the sessions aren’t officially linked, this series is designed to build up your understanding step by step—so I strongly encourage you to come to every single class if you can.

If something comes up and you can’t make it, no stress—just try to let me know in advance. Communication matters, and it helps me keep the group energy strong.
