Key Concepts & Glossary: AI Research Intelligence
AI Agent
An AI Agent is an autonomous entity that perceives its environment through sensors (or inputs) and acts upon that environment using actuators (or tools) to achieve specific goals. An agent relies on a reasoning brain (typically an LLM) to plan and execute multi-step processes.
AI Model
An AI Model is a mathematical algorithm trained on a dataset to perform specific tasks like classification, prediction, or text generation. It represents the saved states of a neural network (the weights and biases) after training, which can be deployed to run inference on new, unseen data.
AI Safety
AI Safety is a field of research focused on ensuring that artificial intelligence systems behave predictably, avoid causing harm, and remain aligned with human interests. It spans technical alignment, risk mitigation, and the study of existential risk from advanced systems.
AGI
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) represents a theoretical form of AI that possesses the ability to understand, learn, and apply knowledge across any intellectual task at a level equal to or surpassing human capabilities. Unlike narrow AI, AGI is characterized by general reasoning and autonomous adaptability.
