Learning path

Why the lessons are in this order

The directory starts with concepts that remove the most confusion — what AI is, how models learn, what prompts do, and where AI can be wrong. Practical use comes next, followed by technical and business topics. You do not need to finish every lesson before moving on; the order is a suggested path for someone starting from zero.

I prefer one clear idea per lesson over very long “complete guides.” When a topic needs prerequisites, the lesson links back to them so you can fill the gap instead of memorising unexplained terminology.
