Glossary of AI Terms

• Gemini - A conversational AI platform developed by Google, Gemini is a large language model with the ability to generate human-like text. To learn more about Bard, start here.

• ChatGPT (3.5 & 4) - Chat GPT 3.5 is a conversational AI platform based on a large language model development by OpenAI that has the ability to generate human-like text. GPT 4 is a newer version that is larger and has more computational power. To learn more about ChatGPT 3.5, start here. To learn more about GPT 4 and the differences between the two, start here. 

• Citation - Is the act of documenting the sources of information in which you have references in the creation of your own original work. To learn more about citations, start here. 

• Contract Cheating - Can be defined as submitting written or creative work which has been drafted or produced by another, specifically when there is payment for the work to be completed. To learn more about contract cheating, start here. 

• DALL-E 2 - An AI system, developed by OpenAI, which can create realistic images and art forms from text descriptions in natural language. To learn more about Dall-E 2, start here. 

• Deep-fake - Use of artificial intelligence to create realistic looking images, audio, and/or video, but that are in fact totally fabricated.  Deep-fakes are produced by using deep learning algorithms to swap faces or manipulate content in existing media sources. The AI tool teaches themselves to solve problems with large sets of data and can be used to create fake content of real people. To learn more about deep-fakes, start here.

• Hallucination - In the field of artificial intelligence, a hallucination refers to a response by AI that is false and not based on credit data, but reported with strong confidence by the AI platform. These systems can sometimes produce outputs that are factually incorrect or unrelated to the given context, such as fabricated dates, authors, book title, journal titles, specific data points, etc. It is the responsibility of the user to fact checked thoroughly all information received from generative AI tools. To learn more about hallucinations, start here. 

• Large Language Model (LLM) - A type of  AI algorithm that uses deep learning techniques and massively large data sets to understand, summarize, generate and predict new content. They are designed to understand, summarizes large amounts of data, and generate new content. To learn more about large language models, start here. 

• Machine Learning (Deep-Learning) - Is a subset of AI  that uses neural networks with many layers to learn representations of data.  Machine learning enables a computer system to perform a certain task without being programed to complete that specific task. Machine learning allows the system to gradually learn new information and complete new tasks without explicitly being taught or programmed to do so. To learn more about machine learning, start here. 

• Plagiarism - Is the act of misrepresenting someone else's ideas, thoughts, writing, or other types of creative expression as your own. The practice of engaging with an AI tool to complete assignments and submitting that work without proper citation and attribution for assessment or credit is plagiarism. Content produced by AI generators or tools should not be considered your own work. To learn more about plagiarism, start here. 

• Prompt - Is a text command or a question provided to an AI system with the intention of generating a desired output.  You can use a prompt to ask a question to receive a desired answer or outcome. To learn more about prompts, start here.
