Look up any term in AI.
Definitions that explain the actual mechanism — not a paraphrase of the name. Written for people who have to build with this, or decide about it.
Glossary
256 terms, each with a worked definition, how it actually works, and where it breaks.
Browse A–ZModels
What each model is good at, what it costs per token, and when the size matters.

Longer pieces on the things a definition cannot hold: benchmarks, costs, and claims worth checking.

The terms the rest keep referring back to. Read these and most AI writing stops being opaque.
Gradient Descent
The rule that turns a gradient into a weight update. Worked on f(x)=x²: why the step size alone decides between converging, oscillating and blowing up.
Bias in AI (Algorithmic Bias)
Why AI systems produce unfair outcomes: how bias enters through data and proxy labels, and why no model can satisfy every definition of fairness at once.
Social AI
Social AI is artificial intelligence built to perceive, interpret, and take part in human social interaction — reading emotion, tone, intent, and context.
Underfitting
Underfitting is when a model is too simple to capture the real pattern, so it does poorly on both training and new data — the mirror of overfitting.
Regularization
Regularization deliberately constrains a model so it fits training data less perfectly, trading a little training accuracy for much better generalization.
Reinforcement Learning (RL)
How an agent learns to act by trial and error: it takes actions in an environment, earns rewards or penalties, and adjusts to maximize long-term reward.
