Generative Artificial Intelligence

Algorithm

A set of mathematical instructions or rules that can be used to solve a problem or predict an outcome. Algorithms in AI are often used to predict outcomes based on large language models or large collections of other data.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The ability of computers and computational systems to do things considered to be human such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and decision-making. 

Chatbot

A web application or software that is intended to have a conversation in natural language, often simulating human interactions.

Data Mining

The practice of using large data sets to recognize patterns and relies on efficient data collection, organizing, and storage.

Deep Learning

A subset of machine learning, deep learning uses neural networks to mimic the human brain and its complex decision making processes.

Generative AI

AI that is able to create different types of information and content such as text, images, and video based on predictive modeling.

Hallucination

In regards to artificial intelligence, hallucinations occur when AI tools generate incorrect or misleading content. For example, ChatGPT has been known to create citations to books and articles that do not exist.

Large Language Models (LLM)

A language model trained on a very large set of data used for predictive natural language processing and generation as well as other tasks. 

Machine Learning

AI that attempts to learn in the ways in which humans learn by performing tasks on their own and improving through performance and data.

Natural Language Processing

the use of machine learning to give AI the ability to communicate via everyday human language.

Neural Network

Machine learning that imitates the structure and function of a human or animal brain in order to make decisions.

Pattern Recognition

Machine learning process that uses algorithms to analyze data to recognize patterns in data sets and large language models.

Prompt Engineering

The process of writing and refining the instructions for a generative AI tool in order to obtain your desired output.

Token

In AI, a token is a unit of data, tokens are counted in order to estimate effort and processing times.
