Read it top to bottom once (~20–30 minutes). Use the table of contents later as a cheat sheet. The map in one minute Term Plain meaning AI Broad umbrella: machines performing tasks that usually need human intelligence Machine learning (ML) Systems that learn patterns from data instead of only hard-coded rules Deep learning (DL) ML using multi-layer neural networks Generative AI Models that produce new content (text, code, images, audio) LLM Large language model — a generative model specialized for language/tokens Interview one-liner: AI ⊃ ML ⊃ DL; modern GenAI/LLMs sit mostly inside deep learning.
