This pull request updates the introductory slides for the AI Engineering course, improving clarity, accuracy, and structure. The key changes include the addition of a clear summary of main points, corrections to technical explanations, updates to data sources and references, and improved motivation and context for AI adoption.

Summary and Structure Improvements:

• Added a new "Main Points" section at the beginning and end of the slides to clearly summarize the key takeaways for students. [1] [2]
• Improved section titles and consistency across slides for better readability (e.g., "Foundation Model Use Cases", "Motivation for AI Adoption"). [1] [2]

Technical Accuracy and Clarity:

• Corrected the definition of masked language models to clarify that they use both preceding and following context (bidirectional), and updated example usage.
• Fixed minor typos and improved the explanation of completion tasks.
• Clarified the overlap between AI engineering and full-stack engineering, emphasizing the rise of JavaScript-native AI APIs.

Data and References:

• Updated image captions and references to use accurate sources and years (e.g., Bommasani et al., 2021 and Epoch AI, 2026). [1] [2]
• Improved citation for the crawl-walk-run AI adoption framework and clarified its practical application.

Language and Motivation:

• Rewrote the motivation section to emphasize competitive pressure, productivity opportunities, and strategic uncertainty for AI adoption.
