AI – the math behind the myth
From Math to Meaning: Understanding How AI Really Works
Artificial Intelligence is everywhere—but how much do we actually understand what’s happening beneath the surface?
This session goes beyond trends and buzzwords to unpack how AI systems move from linear algebra and probability to handling language, culture, and context—and why they sometimes get it wrong.
Through clear explanations and real-world examples, we’ll explore the technical, cultural, and ethical layers of modern AI, especially in the context of local languages and grounded research.
What You’ll Explore
The mathematical foundations behind AI models
Why AI systems hallucinate and how those limitations arise
How AI performs across local languages and cultural contexts
Economic and ethical questions shaping AI adoption
Pathways to enter grounded, responsible AI research
Prerequisites:
1. Please watch this playlist for beautifully animated math behind AI: https://www.3blue1brown.com/topics/neural-networks
2. Test these models on how well it understands your culture in your local language: ChatGPT (https://chatgpt.com/), DeepSeek (https://www.deepseek.com/en) & Thaura (https://thaura.ai/) (for example, recipes for a local dish). Give them all the same prompt and let us know your observations!
Who This Session Is For
Students and professionals curious about AI beyond surface-level tools
Researchers and technologists interested in ethical, inclusive AI
Anyone who wants clarity amid the noise of the AI boom
This is a learning-focused session designed to build understanding—not hype—around one of the most influential technologies of our time.
