AI Defined

What Is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

Artificial Intelligence is technology that allows computers and machines to perform tasks that traditionally required human intelligence. These tasks include learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and understanding language. 

 

Key AI Terms Simplified

A method where computers use data and algorithms to improve their performance over time.

  • Natural Language Processing: A subset of ML that enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.
  • Deep Learning: A complex form of ML that uses neural networks to mimic human brain functions for decision-making.
  • Computer Vision: ML that allows machines to interpret and process visual information from the world.

 AI systems that can create new content like text, images, audio, or video based on input data.

  • Large Language Models (LLM): Advanced AI models trained on vast amounts of text data to generate human-like responses. These include things like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot.
  • Multimodal AI: AI systems capable of processing and generating multiple types of data, such as text, images, and audio. 
  • Productivity Tools: Everyday applications enhanced with AI features, like smart email filters or voice assistants (e.g., Siri, Alexa).
