Where the ideas come from
Every claim on the map traces to a source. Every card lists its own.
ON EVERY CARD
Each card carries up to three curated sources under GO DEEPER, each with a tier — START HERE · PRIMARY · GO DEEPER · ARGUE WITH THIS — and a one-line note on why it is there. On a FACTUAL card a primary or reference source always sits above an essay of the Lab’s own. Every web address is checked when the map is built.
Across the 287 cards the map carries 965 grounding anchors, 679 of them with a public web address, and 644 curated go-deeper links.
THE FRAMEWORKS AND SOURCES THE MAP IS ALIGNED TO
- UNESCO AI Competency Framework for Students (2024) — UNESCO · CC BY-SA 3.0 IGO. Refs are competency/block codes within the framework document.
- AI Samarth — AI Literacy Curriculum Framework (May 2025) — Central Square Foundation + Wadhwani School of Data Science and AI, IIT Madras · no licence stated; cited by pillar name only. Refs are pillar names.
- Published essays of Sahil Tanveer / RBDS AI Lab — RBDS AI Lab · own IP. Anchors carry a per-essay web address; anchors without one cite essays not yet published (forthcoming).
- External published references. Anchors carry a verified web address (arXiv, DOI, publisher) where a specific public location exists; books and standards resolve by their standard citation.

- Book in progress (Sahil Tanveer) — internal source, referenced on the cards by name or code only
- Authored doctrine and positions of Sahil Tanveer / RBDS AI Lab — internal source, referenced on the cards by name or code only
- RBDS AI Lab teaching resources — internal source, referenced on the cards by name or code only
- Workshop curricula (AI Fundamentals spine) — internal source, referenced on the cards by name or code only
- Lab teaching codex exercises — internal source, referenced on the cards by name or code only
ADAPTED TEXT
22 on-ramp ideas adapt text from the Marble Skill Taxonomy (CC BY-SA 4.0); each carries its attribution on the card. Frameworks are referenced by their own codes and are not relicensed.
THE LAB’S OWN WRITING
POSITIONAL ideas are the Lab’s own view, and each is anchored to the published text it comes from, stated with the strongest case against it and what would change our mind.
CORRECTIONS
If a source is wrong, missing, or has moved, the map wants to know. Every card shows its sources; the dataset behind the map is public on the open-data page, and every correction is folded into the next edition.
