Shades of Artificial Intelligence A Glossary of AI Terms Machine learning (ML) is arguably the most common kind of AI in use today. [...] Generative AI is a type of AI or category of AI algorithm that generates new outputs based on the data it has been trained on. [...] “… a small group of scientists gathered for the Dartmouth Summer Research Project on Artificial Intelligence, which was the birth of this field of research…The initial meeting was organized by John McCarthy, then a mathematics professor at the College. [...] In his proposal, he stated that the conference was ‘to proceed on the basis of the conjecture that every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to simulate it.’” John McCarthy: The computer scientist and cognitive scientist who is one of the founders of AI research structured his 2007 article What Is Artificial. [...] In his view, AI is “related to the similar task of using computers to understand human intelligence, but AI does not have to confine itself to methods that are biologically observable.” For McCarthy, the central question is not so much “what is AI?” as “what is intelligence?” World Economic Forum: What is Generative AI?
