The ten words
- Model: the trained system itself. The app you type into is a wrapper around one.
- Prompt: what you ask for. The biggest lever you have over the result.
- Context window: how much the model holds at once. Past it, the earliest part is dropped.
- Token: the chunks text is broken into, roughly a short word each.
- Training data: what the model learned from. Who owned it, and whether they agreed, is the central legal argument.
- Hallucination: a confident, fluent, wrong answer. You can't switch it off.
- Diffusion: the method behind most image and video generators: start from noise and refine towards the description.
- Fine-tuning: further training on a set of material, to make a model behave a particular way.
- On-device or open weights: a model that runs on your own machine, so your material doesn't go to someone else's server.
- Provenance: a record of how a file was made and whether a model touched it. C2PA Content Credentials is the standard people mean.
Check
3 questions drawn from 8 · pass mark 80% · safety-critical questions must be right · 3 attempts in 24 hours · new questions each time
Watch the films to open the check.
Do
Explain it to a runner · 10 minutes
Pick five of the ten words and explain each in one line to a runner on their first day.
How it's marked
- Five correct terms
- Plain words
- Includes hallucination or provenance
Met or Not yet, with a comment from a trained reviewer. Until accounts open, open the model answer after you submit and mark your own work against it.
Model answer (open after you submit)
Example: 'Hallucination: when the AI makes something up and sounds sure.' 'Provenance: the label that shows how a picture was made.'

Record
This is everything kept about this lesson. In the pilot it's held by Futures in Film CIC in your account; Screen Sisters CIC sees named records only if you agree. Your data
Moving on doesn't complete a lesson. A lesson is complete when the films are watched, the check is passed and the task is marked Met.
