Overfitting
When a model learns the training data too closely and performs poorly on new data.
Example
A hiring model memorizes its training résumés but performs poorly on new applicants.
Why people use it
Knowing how “Overfitting” works helps teams reason clearly about how AI systems are built and behave.
