Unit 5

AI & Machine Learning Fundamentals

How AI actually works, not just how to use it.

This unit is coming after Unit 4 is complete.

Here's what's planned — module content will be built as you work through it.

Module 1

What AI Actually Is

Models, training data, prediction vs generation — demystifying the black box
Module 2

Vectors & Embeddings

How AI converts words and concepts into numbers to find relationships
Module 3

Training vs Inference

How AI learns vs how it responds — fine-tuning, prompting, context windows
Module 4

Python — The Language of Data

What Python does, when you use it, and why it owns ML and data science
Module 5

Building with AI

RAG, embeddings in practice, using AI APIs in your own apps
