What you'll learn
How AI learns everything it knows
From spam filters to ChatGPT, AI learns the same way: make a guess, measure how wrong it is, adjust. Over and over.
Predict where AI will let you down
AI only knows what it has seen, and gives answers that fit the patterns it learned. Know when your task is outside them.
Test an AI tool for bias yourself
Learn to spot when AI is biased, with tests you can run on your own tool, and protect yourself from biased results.
Why this topic matters
You use ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot most weeks, but you can't explain what it's doing, so you can't tell when it's safe to rely on it. Some days it's brilliant, some days plainly weird, and the explanations are written for engineers. Underneath it all is one simple idea: AI learns patterns from data and makes predictions from them. Once you see that, you can tell where AI will be strong, where it has gaps, and how to protect yourself from bias.
