Scenario: The Passport Activation
Operator Briefing: You’ve been cleared for AI training but before you touch GenAI tools, you need context. Most people get tricked because they don’t know what AI is or how it got here. This week is your Prologue: you’ll travel through AI’s key eras, collect facts, and build your first portfolio artefact so you don’t get fooled by confident-looking answers later.
Your mission: Read each scene and complete your missions to qualify for entry into your AI Apprentice program.
If your parents are interested, you can tell them that by the end of this prologue, you will:
- Understand the key turning points in AI from the 1950s to today
- Explain the difference between symbolic AI, machine learning, deep learning, and transformer-based deep learning
- Understand why today’s GenAI exists now (data + compute + breakthroughs)
- Build your first portfolio artefact: a 1-page AI Evolution Timeline + Foundations Map
- Learn the most important lesson from AI history: hype cycles (why AI can be powerful and still unreliable)
