Day 1 - Domain Review 1: AI/ML Fundamentals + Generative AI Fundamentals: Critical Summary

Finally, the last week. Over the last 5 weeks' content recompressed through an exam lens. Today we organize the two foundational areas of the exam — AI/ML Fundamental Concepts and Generative AI Fundamentals. These two areas carry the most weight in AIF-C01 (combined ~half), and every other domain's questions are built on vocabulary used here. Solidify this foundation and the rest becomes easier.

Review week's goal is not "learning new things" but "re-drawing blurry boundaries." Redraw the distinction lines the exam loves — AI vs ML vs Deep Learning, supervised vs unsupervised, classification vs regression — clearly again.

The rest is Pro only

Week 1 is free for everyone. Week 2 onwards — plus mock exams and unlimited review — is included in the Pro plan.
