Agentic AI - AI systems that can take actions on their own, not just generate text or images in response to prompts. Traditional generative AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, or Copilot respond to instructions. In contrast, agentic AI systems can act (e.g. plan steps, execute tasks, make decisions) based on goals you set. Also known as Agents, these AI assistants can operate independently to complete workflows or support complex processes.
ChatGPT - A conversational AI platform based on a large language model development by OpenAI. It has the ability to generate human-like text, generate images, analyze data, and more. ChatGPT is not a protected tool at St. John Fisher. Learn more about ChatGPT.
Citation - The act of documenting the sources of information that you used during the creation of your own original work. Learn more about citations.
Contract Cheating - Submitting written or creative work which has been drafted or produced by another person, specifically when there is payment for the work to be completed. Learn more about contract cheating.
Copilot Agents - A custom AI assistant built on the Google Gemini platform that users can configure with specific instructions and supporting content. Designed to perform specific tasks using saved instructions, context, and preferences. Copilot is a protected tool at St. John Fisher. Learn more about Copilot Agents.
Copilot Chat - A conversational AI platform developed by Microsoft. It has the ability to generate human-like text, generate images, analyze data, and more. Copilot is a protected tool at St. John Fisher. Learn more about Copilot Chat.
DALL-E - An AI system, developed by OpenAI, which can create realistic images and art forms from text descriptions in natural language. It is incorporated into ChatGPT.
Deepfake - Use of AI to create realistic looking images, audio, and/or video, but that are totally fabricated. Deepfakes 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. Learn more about deepfakes.
Gemini Chat - A conversational AI platform developed by Google. It has the ability to generate human-like text, generate images, analyze data, and more. Gemini is a protected tool at St. John Fisher. Learn more about Gemini Chat.
Gemini Gems - A custom AI assistant built on the Google Gemini platform that users can configure with specific instructions and supporting content. Designed to perform specific tasks using saved instructions, context, and preferences. Gemini is a protected tool at St. John Fisher.Learn more about Gemini Gems.
Hallucination - In the field of AI, a hallucination refers to a response by AI that is false and not based on creditable 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 check all information received from generative AI tools. Learn more about hallucinations.
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. Learn more about large language models.
Machine Learning (Deep Learning) - 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. Learn more about machine learning.
Notebook LM - An AI tool built on the Google Gemini platform where you upload sources and the AI grounds its answers in those sources. It includes a conversational AI component and a generative summary and learning component. Notebook LM is a protected tool at St. John Fisher. Learn more about Notebook LM.
Plagiarism - 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 for assessment or credit without proper citation and attribution is plagiarism. Content produced by AI generators or tools should not be considered your own work. Learn more about plagiarism.
Prompt - 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. Learn more about prompts.
