About this lesson

What is a token in Artificial Intelligence and how do AI models understand text?In this video, we visually explain the concept of **tokens**, one of the most important building blocks in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models.AI models do not understand text the way humans do. Instead, they break text into smaller units called tokens. These tokens can represent words, parts of words, or even individual characters. By processing tokens, AI models are able to analyze, learn, and generate human-like language.Through simple visual animations, this video demonstrates how text is converted into tokens and how these tokens are used inside AI systems.In this video you will learn:• What a token is in AI• How text is broken into tokens• Why tokenization is important• How tokens are used in Machine Learning models• How Large Language Models process languageTokens are a fundamental part of how modern AI systems likeChatGPTunderstand and generate text.This channel explains Artificial Intelligence concepts using clear visual explanations to make complex ideas simple and intuitive.Subscribe for more videos on:Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, Neural Networks, and modern AI systems.#artificialintelligence #machinelearning #nlp #tokenization #aiexplained , #ai
