About

Learn how AI actually works under the hood! This series breaks down the mechanics of artificial intelligence - from how neural networks process information to how machine learning algorithms make decisions. We'll explore different AI architectures, understand training processes, and see how data flows through AI systems. Through interactive demos and visual examples, you'll gain a deep understanding of what's really happening when AI 'thinks' and learns.
