## AI overview

A plain-English introduction to neural networks. It explains neurons or perceptrons, activation functions, weights and biases, and how stacking neurons into dense layers creates a multilayer perceptron (MLP) architecture used in AI systems.

## Source excerpt

All popular AI systems that you see today are made up of basic computing units called Neurons or Perceptrons. These connect to form a network called a Neural network that performs various complex computations.
