There are countless new AI terms (see
AI glossary), because this is an exploding field. In addition, techies like to change the names of things, and new names add complexity. It is common to replace "AI system" and "AI application" with just plain AI. For example, "there's an AI for that."
AI Models
Chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini and Copilot are AI applications everyone can use. They rely on large language models (LLMs), which are neural networks that have been trained on huge amounts of data. Therefore, "AI model" is a commonly used term to refer to AI applications because they are the source from which chatbots obtain their knowledge. The earlier AI systems did not use the model architecture (see
expert system). See
large language model and
neural network.
AI Agents
As AI has become more commonplace, AI agents have emerged, which enable AI models to interact with the outside world (see
AI agent). More terms describing AI are AGI, Super AI, AI hard and AI complete (see
AGI,
AI complete and
technology singularity). For an AI overview, see
AI in a nutshell. For more AI terms, see
