Understanding AI from Scratch Webinar Series

i delivered this six-part lecture series to the Mayo Clinic Radiation Oncology Department to help clinicians understand core AI concepts from first principles. The lectures start from linear regression and artificial neurons, and gradually progress to large language models and prompt engineering.
