THERE are certain words that you want to familiarize yourself with when it comes to artificial intelligence as the tool becomes more prominent in day-to-day life.
It is normal to not be completely up to speed with some of the new AI words as the concept is newer to everyone, but informing yourself will help keep you on track.
The words were brought to light by technology expert and computer security company McAfee on AI buzzwords you should know.
It highlighted that these AI words are important to be familiar with as AI tools like ChatGPT have risen in popularity.
“Tools like ChatGPT, Voice.ai, DALL-E, and others have brought AI into daily life, but sometimes the terms used to describe their capabilities and inner workings are anything but mainstream,” McAfee said.
Having an understanding of the AI words will help you better comprehend what people are saying when talking about the new technology.
Here is a breakdown of the words to keep in your personal dictionary, per McAfee.
1. AI-GENERATED CONTENT
AI-generated content refers to anything that is created by the tool or had help being created by it.
This includes written, audio, or visual media.
2. AI HALLUCINATION
An AI hallucination occurs when AI doesn’t exactly know the answer to the question you have asked.
If AI doesn’t know the answer, it will create a wonky version of an answer that is “what you want to hear” or is somewhat incorrect.
Since the information is not 100 percent true, it is considered a hallucination from AI.
3. BLACK BOX
The term black box is used when it is unclear exactly where AI has pulled its information from.
AI is capable of hiding its “reasoning process.”
If you are trying to double-check the information provided from AI a black box may cause you issues.
4. DEEPFAKE
Deepfake is when AI is used to recreate a photo, video, or audio clip of a person to make it seem like it’s them.
It mimics or impersonates a person or object to make it seem completely identical.
There have been some concerns over Deepfake being used in scams or taking over the movie industry.
5. DEEP LEARNING
Deep learning is when AI becomes more accurate to human thinking.
It involves teaching AI to reason and recall information like a human so that it can identify patterns and make predictions.
6. EXPLAINABLE AI
Explainable AI is the opposite of a black box meaning the information provided by AI is trackable with sources.
7. GENERATIVE AI
Generative AI pulls together large amounts of data to come up with answers or create something.
It is used for AI tools like ChatGPT and Bard.
8. MACHINE LEARNING
Machine learning is when AI gets smarter the more it is used.
It is integral and lets AI learn and improve itself.
9. RESPONSIBLE AI
People are starting to put importance on programming AI to be responsible so that it does not become out of control.
This looks like not letting AI be used for criminal or malicious uses by putting blocks in place.
10. SENTIENT
The word sentient is brought up when speaking about AI often because the more AI is integrated into society the more people may feel like it could actually be capable and aware of feelings, sensations, or emotions.
But AI is not capable of being sentient currently.
