# Personal AI Fluency Plan

## Overview
This document outlines a structured plan to develop AI fluency over the next 12 months. The plan is based on the **AI Fluency Framework** from Anthropic and is tailored to a beginner‑to‑intermediate learner.

## Goals
1. **Understand core concepts** of AI, machine learning, and large language models.
2. **Build practical skills** in data preprocessing, model training, and deployment.
3. **Develop critical thinking** about AI ethics, safety, and societal impact.
4. **Create a portfolio** of projects demonstrating end‑to‑end AI solutions.

## Timeline (12 months)
| Month | Focus | Deliverable |
|-------|-------|-------------|
| 1‑2 | Foundations | Complete *AI Fluency Foundations* course; write a summary. |
| 3‑4 | Data & ML Basics | Build a simple regression model on a public dataset. |
| 5‑6 | NLP & LLMs | Fine‑tune a small transformer on a custom text corpus. |
| 7‑8 | Prompt Engineering | Design a prompt library for common tasks; document best practices. |
| 9‑10 | Deployment | Deploy a chatbot using LangChain and Streamlit. |
| 11 | Ethics & Safety | Write a short essay on AI safety principles. |
| 12 | Portfolio & Reflection | Publish a GitHub repo with all projects; reflect on learning. |

## Resources
- **Courses**: AI Fluency Foundations, Coursera ML, Fast.ai NLP.
- **Tools**: Python, PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, Streamlit.
- **Reading**: *The Alignment Problem*, *AI Ethics* by Bostrom.

## Milestones
- **M1**: Course completion + summary.
- **M2**: Regression model + GitHub repo.
- **M3**: Fine‑tuned transformer + demo.
- **M4**: Prompt library + documentation.
- **M5**: Deployed chatbot.
- **M6**: Ethics essay + final portfolio.

## Reflection
After each milestone, review progress, identify gaps, and adjust the next steps accordingly.
