AI FAQ

What is Gen AI?

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence technology that can produce various types of content, including text, imagery, audio, and synthetic data.

Gen AI is a type of artificial intelligence that creates new content based on what it has learned from existing content. The process of learning from existing content is called training and results in the creation of a statistical model when given a prompt.

AI uses the model to predict what an expected response might be and this generates new content.
Essentially, it learns the underlying structure of the data and can then generate new samples that are similar to the data it was trained on. As previously mentioned, a generative language model

What is artificial intelligence?

So two very common questions asked are what is artificial intelligence and what is the difference between AI and machine learning.

One way to think about it is that AI is a discipline.

 

AI is a branch of computer science that deals with the creation of intelligence agents, which are systems that can reason, and learn, and act autonomously.

AI has to do with the theory and methods to build machines that think and act like humans. 

In this discipline, we have machine learning, which is a subfield of AI.

It is a program or system that trains a model from input data.

That trained model can make useful predictions from new or never before seen data drawn from the same one used to train the model.
 
Machine learning gives the computer the ability to learn without explicit programming.
 
Two of the most common classes of machine learning models are unsupervised and supervised ML models.
 

In transformers, hallucinations are words or phrases that are generated by the model that are often nonsensical or grammatically incorrect.

Hallucinations can be caused by a number of factors, including the model is not trained on enough data, or the model is trained on noisy or dirty data, or the model is not given enough context, or the model is not given enough constraints.
 
Hallucinations can be a problem for transformers because they can make the output text difficult to understand.
 
A prompt is a short piece of text that is given to the large language model as input. And it can be used to control the output of the model in a variety of ways.
 
Prompt design is the process of creating a prompt that will generate the desired output from a large language model.
