By the end of this lesson, you will understand how AI converts complex data like words, images, and code into numerical representations called embeddings. You'll learn how these numerical vectors capture semantic meaning, enabling advanced AI applications, and how different embedding models offer distinct capabilities.
AI doesn't 'read' text or 'see' images; it processes numbers. This numerical conversion is fundamental to how AI understands and interacts with the world.
Every piece of data an AI processes, from a photograph of a cat to a paragraph of text, must first be transformed into a numerical format.
