A Beginner's Guide to Artificial Intelligence Terminology

Algorithm: A series of instructions that allows a computer program to learn and analyze data in a particular way, such as recognizing patterns, to then learn from it and accomplish tasks on its own.

Artificial intelligence, or AI: The use of technology to simulate human intelligence, either in computer programs or robotics. A field in computer science that aims to build systems that can perform human tasks.

Chatbot: A program that communicates with humans through text that simulates human language.

Guardrails: Policies and restrictions placed on AI models to ensure data is handled responsibly and that the model doesn't create disturbing content.

Machine learning, or ML: A component in AI that allows computers to learn and make better predictive outcomes without explicit programming. Can be coupled with training sets to generate new content.

Neural network: A computational model that resembles the human brain's structure and is meant to recognize patterns in data. Consists of interconnected nodes, or neurons, that can recognize patterns and learn over time.
