Traditional AI

AI - or traditional AI - refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that previously required human intelligence. - Technopedia

Generative AI

Generative AI (genAI) is a broad label describing any type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can produce new text, images, video, or audio clips. Technically, this type of AI learns patterns from training data and generates new, unique outputs with the same statistical properties. - Technopedia

AI Hallucinations

An AI hallucination is where a large language model (LLM) like OpenAI’s GPT4 or Google PaLM makes up false information or facts that aren’t based on real data or events. Generative AI-driven chatbots can fabricate any factual information, from names, dates, and historical events to quotes or even code. - Technopedia

AI Bias  (aka Machine Learning Bias)

AI bias, also referred to as machine learning bias or algorithm bias, refers to AI systems that produce biased results that reflect and perpetuate human biases within a society, including historical and current social inequality. - IBM AI Bias
