AI is becoming more prominent, with companies like Google, Microsoft, and OpenAI constantly releasing new models and systems, reports CNET. These advancements are reshaping economies, with McKinsey estimating AI could contribute $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy. (We would ask, “How much to Pacific Islands nations?”) Generative AI tools like ChatGPT have transformed the way people interact with technology by allowing natural language conversations with machines. As AI continues to evolve, keeping up with its terminology is essential.
Key AI Concepts
Some key terms include Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), a future AI capable of performing tasks better than humans, and generative AI, which creates text, images, and more based on vast amounts of data. Terms like neural networks, which mimic the human brain, and machine learning—AI’s ability to learn from data—are critical to understanding how these systems operate. Other concepts like bias, AI ethics, and alignment address the ethical and safety concerns surrounding AI.
Emerging AI Terminology
Newer terms, such as temperature (which controls AI’s randomness) and stochastic parrot (referring to AI mimicking human language without understanding), are part of the evolving AI vocabulary. Keeping up with these terms helps make sense of AI’s growing impact, whether it’s for daily use, business, or policy-making.
