Foundations

Artificial Intelligence may look new, yet her story started long before now. She carries traits from many ancestors. These foundations show both where she came from and how she works today.

• History — Origins and milestones of artificial intelligence.
• Early chatbots — Pioneering conversational programs before modern LLMs.
• Classical AI — Symbolic reasoning and search-based approaches.
• Learning and training — Approaches to training models from data.
• Neural networks — Neural architectures and methods for model training.
• Data handling — Working with datasets for AI systems.
• Working with vectors — Data represented as vectors in high-dimensional spaces.
• Responsible AI — Safety, privacy, and evaluation in AI.
