AI Index
Welcome! This is a living, evolving glossary of key terms and concepts in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), designed to support accessible learning and deeper exploration.
Each entry includes:
-
A clear, beginner-friendly definition
-
An “Explain Like I’m Five” (ELI5) explanation
-
Links for further learning and context (when available)
🔹 = Essential / beginner-friendly
🔸 = Advanced / nice-to-know
📚 How this Index is Organized
Rather than listing terms alphabetically, this glossary is organized by conceptual flow to support progressive learning. Terms are grouped into sections like Core Concepts, Training & Optimization, and Ethics & Challenges, and arranged to build understanding step-by-step from foundational ideas to more advanced or emerging topics.
You’re encouraged to explore based on your needs, interests, or learning goals.
🔄 This is a Living Document
This index is updated regularly as new tools, models, and ideas emerge in the rapidly changing world of AI. Check back often for new entries, refinements, and improved explanations.
