As AI technologies continue to evolve rapidly, we are committed to regularly updating our practices to reflect ethical, pedagogical, and technological developments.
What is AI?
Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to computer systems and algorithms that mimic human cognitive functions, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. AI encompasses a broad spectrum of techniques and methodologies, including machine learning, natural language processing, computer vision, and robotics, aimed at creating intelligent systems capable of performing tasks autonomously or with minimal human intervention.
Everyday Examples of AI:
1. Voice assistants like Siri, Alexa, or Google Assistant
2. Autocomplete in text messages and emails
3. Recommendations on streaming services and social media
4. Grammar and spelling checkers
5. Photo filters and editing tools
6. Navigation apps that find the fastest route
What is the difference between AI and Generative AI?
AI is a broad term that covers systems designed to perform tasks requiring human intelligence—such as data analysis, pattern recognition, decision-making, language translation, and prediction. Generative AI is a subset of AI that can create new, original content, such as text, images, music, or videos, based on the data it has been trained on. Common examples of Generative AI include ChatGPT, Gemini AI, Microsoft Copilot, and Claude.
