What if an AI denies your loan or diagnoses an illness, but gives no explanation? That’s the problem Explainable AI (XAI) is solving. In this episode of In Simple Terms with Satish , we break down XAI in simple words. Just like a teacher explaining why you lost marks on a test, XAI helps humans understand the reasoning behind an AI’s decision. From banking and healthcare to self-driving cars and b...

What happens when an AI system makes unfair or unbalanced decisions — like favoring certain job applicants or struggling to recognize darker skin tones? That’s bias in AI. In this episode of In Simple Terms with Satish , we’ll explore what bias in AI really means, why it happens, and how it shows up in everyday life. Through simple analogies — like children learning from limited examples or classr...

The way you ask a question can completely change the answer — and that’s exactly how AI works too. This is where Prompt Engineering comes in. In this episode of In Simple Terms with Satish , we’ll explore how designing better prompts leads to better AI responses.
