How does a machine actually think?

A hands-on class on what is really going on inside an AI system: how it decides what matters in your question, where its training data comes from and who is missing from it, and how hidden instructions can sneak in and hijack it. No math, just intuition. And the question underneath everything: is there anyone home inside the machine?
