1. AI Terminology
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
Artificial Intelligence encompasses many fields. It is a set of technologies enabling computers to perform advanced functions such as sight, sound, data analysis, and written and spoken language.
- Personal Note: AI has evolved tremendously. It started with simple technologies like Optical Character Recognition (OCR) and now requires vast computational power for more complex tasks.
Machine Learning (ML)
Machine Learning uses algorithms to teach machines how to learn from data.
- Key Subcategories:
- Supervised Learning: Uses labeled data to teach machines.
- Unsupervised Learning: Detects patterns without labels.
- Reinforcement Learning: Machines receive rewards for correct actions, mimicking human societal systems.
Natural Language Processing (NLP)
NLP focuses on understanding and generating human language.
- Examples: Grammar correction, email analysis, and chatbots.
Large Language Model (LLM)
LLMs predict the next word in a sequence based on billions of parameters.
- Top Models: GPT-4, Gemini, Llama, Mistral, Claude, and Cohere.
Generative AI (GenAI)
Generative AI creates new content, such as text, images, audio, and video.
- Exciting Times Ahead: Generative AI is transforming industries and creativity.
Other Terms:
- Source File: The file analyzed by an LLM (e.g., PDFs, images).
- Chunks: Smaller parts of a source document.
- Embeddings: Dense numerical representations of data, used for analysis.
- Back Propagation: A training method for LLMs to improve predictions.
- Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF): Humans train LLMs, with job opportunities ranging from $15–$50/hour.
- Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): AI capable of understanding and applying knowledge across diverse tasks like humans.
2. AI History
Alan Turing (1912–1954)
- Known as the father of modern AI and ML.
- Contributions: Saved lives during WWII, created the Turing Test, and changed the world.
- Personal Reflection: Despite his contributions, society’s rejection of his values is a sobering reminder of how disagreement should inspire dialogue, not destruction.
