How did Alan Turing's question about thinking machines lead to neural networks, large language models, and systems that can write, draw, and recognize faces? This short course explains artificial intelligence through its mechanisms, not through headlines.Across twelve evenings, readers move from early rule-based AI to machine learning, perceptrons, backpropagation, ImageNet, computer vision, tokens, transformers, generative models, and today's debates about responsibility. The course also examines hallucinations, bias in data, deepfakes, black-box decisions, the changing world of work, and the open questions shaping AI's future.
