4. Baltimore, Maryland July 15-19, 2024 Introduction to Generative AI A few terms you need to know

5. Baltimore, Maryland July 15-19, 2024 Artificial Intelligence ( AI ) A branch of computer science Creates systems to perform tasks typically requiring human intelligence: Learning Reasoning Problem-solving Etc. AI systems analyze data, recognize patterns, make decisions, and improve themselves over time.

6. Baltimore, Maryland July 15-19, 2024 Generative AI ( GenAI ) Type of AI that generates content: Learns patterns from existing data Uses the knowledge to generate new outputs Can create Text, Images, Video, Audio, Code

7. Baltimore, Maryland July 15-19, 2024 Large Language Model (LLM) AI model that understands and generates human language Trained on vast amounts of textual data Uses sophisticated algorithms to predict and generate text

8. Baltimore, Maryland July 15-19, 2024 Natural Language Processing (NLP) Subfield of AI Focus: interactions between computers and humans through natural language. Goal: enable computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language Meaningful Useful

9. Baltimore, Maryland July 15-19, 2024 How GenAI Works Models are trained on large datasets Use algorithms to learn patterns and structures in the data. Transformer : a type of GenAI model GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformers) predict the next word in a sequence, generating coherent and contextually relevant text.

10. Baltimore, Maryland July 15-19, 2024 Intro to ChatGPT

11. Baltimore, Maryland July 15-19, 2024 ChatGPT: What It Is Chat Generative Pre-Trained Transformer AI language model developed by OpenAI Launched in November of 2022 Fastest-growing consumer software application in history An AI-powered chatbot Leverages LLM to understand and generate human-like text
