Key Concepts & Glossary: Generative AI Intelligence
Adversarial Attack
An Adversarial Attack is a technique that feeds a machine learning model intentionally designed inputs (adversarial examples) to cause it to make a mistake, fail, or hallucinate. In image models, this often involves introducing imperceptible pixel noise that completely alters the classification.
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.
Algorithm
An Algorithm is a step-by-step procedure or set of mathematical rules designed to solve a specific problem or perform a calculation. In AI, algorithms determine how a model processes inputs and updates its parameters during learning.
