Artificial Intelligence General

A computer system able to perform tasks that ordinarily require human intelligence

Intelligence General

The ability to make adjustments and assumptions in order to inform future decisions

Predictive AI General

A form of artificial intelligence that uses what it has learned to predict an outcome

Generative AI General

A form of artificial intelligence that generates new content such as text or art

Machine Learning General

Machine learning is a field of Artificial Intelligence that uses inputs and outputs to create computer models that teaches a computer to have intelligence.

Neural Networks General

A type of machine learning that uses a computational model that uses nodes inspired by the structure and functioning of the human brain and learns by trial and error.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) General

the ability of a digital computer or computer-controlled robot to perform tasks commonly associated with intelligent beings

Prompt Engineering General

the practice of designing inputs for AI tools that will produce optimal outputs.

Human Intelligence General

The ability to perceive and interpret information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied in the correct context

Turing Test General

A test that determines how realistic, or humanlike a computer system really is. If a human is unable to tell if it is talking to a computer or a human, then the computer is said to have passed the Turing test.

Narrow AI General

AI that is built for a specific purpose and excels in its limited domain

General AI (AGI) General

a more human-like AI; versatile across various cognitive functions and tasks, having broader capabilities

Large Language Models (LLM) General

are machine learning models that can comprehend and generate human language text.

Multimodal Model General

a model that is capable of processing information from multiple types of data, including images, videos, and text

Ethics General

The moral principle that governs a person's behavior.

bias General

Occurs when a result is more favorable to a certain outcome.

Convolutional Neural Network General

Convolutional Neural Networks are a type of neural network that are commonly used to classify images by using a weighted kernel.

Supervised Learning General

A form of machine learning where algorithms are trained to make predictions using testing data, where the outcome of a specific event is already determined

Training Data General

A large percent of a dataset that is used to teach a machine learning model

Testing Data General

A smaller subset of a dataset that is used test a trained machine learning model

Unsupervised Learning General

A form of machine learning where algorithms are able to group data and find patterns in the data on their own

Reinforcement Learning General

A form of machine learning where a computer agent learns to make decisions by interacting with its environment and receiving feedback.

Representation Bias General

Representation Bias is when the data used for training doesn't represent the population that the model will serve.

Deepfake General

a video or image of a person in which their face or body has been digitally altered so that they appear to be someone else, typically used maliciously or to spread false information.

Misinformation General

false or inaccurate information, especially that which is deliberately intended to deceive.

Hallucination General

False information provided by an AI

Prompt Injection General

An attack where hackers manipulate generative AI systems by feeding them malicious inputs disguised as legitimate user prompts.
