C7: Introduction to AI – Understanding How Machines Learn

AI can’t understand language like humans do — it learns through data and patterns.

Let’s break down how NLP works in 4 main steps:

  1. Hearing (Input):
    The AI records what you say through a microphone or reads your text.

  2. Understanding (Processing):
    It breaks your words into smaller parts (called tokens) and identifies meaning using grammar rules and data patterns.

  3. Thinking (Decision):
    It figures out what you want — e.g., weather, music, or answer to a question.

Speaking (Output):
The AI responds using pre-learned language or a generated answer.
Example:
You say: “What’s the weather?”
AI says: “It’s sunny and 30°C in your area.”
