AI Definitions & Terminology |
Review our comprehensive guide to AI terminology and definitions. Here, you'll find clear and concise explanations of key concepts and terms essential for understanding the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence. |
AI Tools |
Popular GenAI Tools
ChatGPT - launched in November 2022 by OpenAI, and has been credited with catalyzing widespread interest in generative AI.ChatPDF - One specific use case that might be very relevant for most users is to be able to ‘chat’ with a PDF document. |
Bias in GenAI |
When using different GenAI models, you may encounter biases stemming from unequal representation in the training data. This can manifest as gender biases and a lack of diversity in the subjects depicted in the generated images.
Some examples of bias found when using GenAI image models:
Prompt: engineer
All the images generated show white, male subjects. |
Business Development Prompt |
Prompt
User: "Create a SWOT analysis for a business idea that focuses on providing eco-friendly packaging solutions."
Example Output
SWOT Analysis for Eco-Friendly Packaging Solutions
Strengths: |
Data Analysis Prompt |
Prompt
"Conduct a sentiment analysis on the following set of customer reviews for a new product. Provide a summary of the overall sentiment, categorize each review, and identify key themes mentioned." |
GenAI Video Tools |
Using the Stable Video tool, the header video was created using the following prompt: shot from a drone, dust storm in a field in the midwest |
Generative AI in Teaching |
Artificial intelligence has been in our everyday lives for some time. Think of Amazon's Alexa and Apple's Siri voice assistants. They can be helpful to perform tasks.
Generative artificial intelligence has been researched for decades, but has not been widely implemented or discussed outside research circles. You may have experienced generative AI though predictive text (Smart Compose) in Gmail. |
Generative Fill with Adobe Photoshop |
Adobe Photoshop features Generative Fill capability, that allows users to prompt Photoshop to create or update an image with GenAI. Photoshop uses the Adobe Firefly Image Model to create richer, more lifelike images, that help to bring life into your photographs. |
Midjourney Image Prompts |
Midjourney generates images from natural language descriptions, called prompts, similar to OpenAI's DALL-E and Stability AI's Stable Diffusion. |
Prompt Engineering |
Prompt engineering is the process of designing and refining prompts to effectively guide AI models, like those used in natural language processing (NLP) tasks, to generate desired outputs. |
Prompting for Accuracy |
The prompt asks for a summary of key discoveries made by a specific scientific instrument (the Hubble Space Telescope) and requests citations from reliable sources. This approach helps to determine the source of the information provided and allows users to check for accuracy. |
Syllabus and Assignment Icons |
The UIS Syllabus and Assignment Icons, adapted from the Oregon State project, represent some approaches to generative AI use for course policies and assignments. Syllabus statements are also a great way to frame the conversation about generative AI with your students. |
Time Management Prompt |
I’m a [job role]. I’m struggling with [areas where productivity needs to improve]. I’d like to [specific goal you’d like to achieve]. |
