Artificial Intelligence
Also known as AI
Artificial intelligence is the field of computing concerned with systems that carry out tasks associated with human intelligence, such as learning from data, recognising patterns, reasoning about a problem and producing language or images.
Why It Matters
AI has become a capital story as much as a technology one. It is redirecting corporate spending, reshaping the chip and energy industries, and changing what companies can automate, which is why it now appears in earnings calls as often as in research papers.
In Context
The term covers a wide range of methods, from statistical models that have been in use for decades to the large neural networks behind today's chatbots and image tools.
Related Terms
- Machine LearningMachine learning is the branch of artificial intelligence in which a system learns patterns from data rather than following rules written by hand, and improves as it is given more examples.
- Generative AIGenerative AI describes models that produce new content, such as text, images, audio, video or code, from a prompt, rather than only classifying or predicting from existing data.
- Large Language ModelA large language model is a neural network trained on very large amounts of text to predict language, which allows it to answer questions, summarise, translate, write and reason over documents.
- AI InfrastructureAI infrastructure is the physical and technical base that AI runs on: the chips, servers, networking, storage, data centres and power supply needed to train models and serve them to users.
- AI InvestmentAI investment is capital committed to artificial intelligence: equity in model and application companies, and the debt and capital spending behind the infrastructure they run on.
