Let’s keep going with definitions. There are a LOT of AI terms out there.
Prompt
- Your input to an AI tool
- Can be text, pictures, video, audio, etc. (it’s actually a really long list)
Multimodal
- An AI tool that can process different kinds of inputs and outputs
- I.e., text, images, speech, etc.
Training (or Pre-training)
- Giving an AI model a large amount of information so that it can “learn” patterns.
- It uses this information to create output.
- If you’ve ever seen The Fifth Element, it’s like when Leeloo learns about 5000 years of history in a minute.
Voice Assistant
- An AI tool that can understand voice commands and respond to them (or carry out tasks)
- Usually for mobile devices, but not always
Autonomous Agent
- An AI tool that has what it needs to carry out tasks without human intervention
- A car that drives itself or an aircraft that flies itself are examples
- It’s worth noting that “autonomous” and/or “agent” are sometimes used without the other
