Scroll LinkedIn or Twitter and it’s just a wall of acronyms. But luckily, you don’t need to learn everything. You only need to understand a handful of key concepts that actually matter if you want to make sense of how AI systems really work. In this video, I break down 7 essential AI terms you need to know in 2025. In plain English explanations with real-world examples and analogies you won’t forget. Whether you’re a developer, a technical leader, or a curious professional trying to follow AI conversations at work, these concepts will give you the clarity you need. 👋🏻 About Me Hi!

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
