💡 Why AI Literacy Matters for Coaches and Educators
AI is transforming every industry—and the coaching and education space is no exception.
But here's the thing: you don't need to become a machine learning engineer to use AI effectively.
What you DO need is AI fluency—the ability to understand what AI can and can't do, communicate confidently about AI with clients and students, and make informed decisions about which AI tools to use.
🤓 This glossary gives you the vocabulary foundation to:
- Understand AI news and developments without feeling lost
- Evaluate AI tools and know what questions to ask
- Teach AI concepts to your own students and clients
- Have intelligent conversations about AI with anyone
- Spot AI hype vs. reality and make better decisions
Who This Is For
🎓 Educators teaching AI concepts to students

💼 Consultants advising clients on AI adoption
🚀 Entrepreneurs building AI-powered businesses
📚 Lifelong learners who want to understand AI
👩💻 Professionals upskilling for an AI-driven workplace
The Definitions Are Different
Most AI glossaries are written by engineers for engineers.
These definitions are different. They're written in plain English with real-world analogies that actually make sense:
Gradient Descent: "Imagine you're blindfolded in a hilly area trying to reach the lowest valley—you feel which way slopes downward and take steps in that direction."
Overfitting: "It's like a student who memorizes specific practice test questions but doesn't understand the underlying concepts—they do great on the practice test but fail when they see new questions."
Mixture of Experts: "It's like having a hospital with many specialists where patients are directed to the right doctors."
Every definition is crafted to build genuine understanding, not just memorization.
