AI Concepts

AI Concepts covers the foundational technologies behind modern AI: machine learning, large language models, prompt engineering, agentic AI, and responsible AI governance.

Four Areas of AI Knowledge

AI concepts are organized into four sub-sections based on where the technology sits in the adoption curve and how teams encounter it at work.

Section What It Covers Who It Is For
Fundamentals Machine learning, NLP, computer vision, types of AI Anyone new to AI who needs the basics
Generative AI LLMs, prompt engineering, RAG, fine-tuning, vibe coding Teams actively using ChatGPT, Claude, or similar tools
Agentic AI AI agents, MCP, A2A, chatbots, copilots, automation Teams building or evaluating agent workflows
Responsible AI Governance, ethics, bias, safety, enterprise deployment Leaders making AI adoption decisions

Common Questions About AI Concepts

What is the difference between AI and machine learning?

AI is the broad field of making machines perform tasks that typically require human intelligence. Machine learning is a subset of AI where systems learn from data rather than being explicitly programmed. All machine learning is AI, but not all AI is machine learning.

What is generative AI?

Generative AI refers to AI systems that create new content including text, images, code, and audio based on patterns learned from training data. ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and DALL-E are examples. The technology is built on large language models (LLMs) trained on massive text datasets.

What is agentic AI?

Agentic AI describes systems that can plan, execute multi-step tasks, use tools, and make decisions with minimal human oversight. Unlike chatbots that respond to one prompt at a time, agents can break down goals into subtasks, call APIs, search the web, and iterate on their own output.
