Week 3: Behind the Scenes
Day 21: Week 3 Review
Goal
Connect AI outputs to the systems behind them.
Learn
Behind every AI answer is a chain: data, model, prompt, context, tools, retrieval, policies, interface, and user judgment. Better users understand the chain instead of treating the answer box as magic.
Behind the scenes
AI tools are products wrapped around models, data, prompts, retrieval, safety systems, and user interfaces. The better you understand the wrapper, the better your results get.Example
Example: in a real workflow, this idea helps you decide how to use AI carefully. For this lesson, connect the goal to one task you already do: connect AI outputs to the systems behind them..
Practice
Explain one AI answer by naming what came from the model, the prompt, the source context, and the user's constraints.
