AI speaks English

Most news, guides and settings about AI are in English, and new words appear every month. Knowing the basic terms makes the tools easier to understand and helps you follow what’s happening at work.

The key word for any user is prompt: what you write to the AI. How to write prompts that get useful answers is the subject of our AI from Scratch mini-course.

FAQ

What is a prompt?

A prompt is the request or instruction you write to an AI: the question, the task and the details. It affects the quality of the answer more than anything else.

What is an AI hallucination?

A hallucination is when an AI confidently says something false: made-up facts, quotes, links or numbers. That’s why important information from AI should always be checked.

What’s the difference between AI and machine learning?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the general name for systems that do “smart” tasks. Machine learning is one way of building them: the model learns from data instead of following rules written by people.
