==What AI is about==
 
===What AI is===
 
===What AI is===
: AI stands for [[artificial intelligence]], which is the competency of an artificial system such as a computer or a robot to perform those tasks that are not strictly pre-programmed or even known. Creators of AI systems cannot produce in advance the same results that their creations do.
+
: Non-intelligent machines simply execute strict commands of their operators. Non-intelligent software follow explicit rules programmed by human developers.
  
: For example, when a user of [[Generative Pre-trained Transformer]] or [[Generative Pre-trained Transformer|GPT]] requests an AI system to answer his or her question, the system:
+
: [[#AI]] stands for [[#Artificial intelligence]], which is the competency of an artificial system to learn and perform partially or fully autonomously based on what this system such as a computer, drone, self-driving car, or robot has learned.
:# '''Transforms''' the human request, while encoding it into a set of machine requests. For that purpose, the system compares the human request with the prompt dataset.
 
:# '''Studies''' those areas of its large dataset that are relevant to the request. To create that dataset, the system receives the data in advance. This process is known as ''pre-training''.
 
:# '''Generates''' the response based on that large dataset.  
 
  
: Intelligent systems perform on the learned data rather than rely on explicit programming or authoritative commands of other systems. While being prompted, "Answer in a way that a kid can understand", an AI system studies those texts that are created by children or for children rather than is trying to find explicit instructions for that specific case.
+
: For instance, Google-owned AlphaZero is given no knowledge beyond basic chess rules. Instead, this [[#AI model]] is prompted to play against itself and, using [[#Reinforcement learning]], to learn from its own mistakes. Win or lose, AlphaZero piles up lessons learned from its millions and millions of games. According to its creator, Demis Hassabis,
 +
:: "Actually you set off AlphaZero in the morning and it starts off playing randomly. By lunchtime, you know it's able to beat [...] most chess players. And then, by the evening, it's stronger than the world champion."
 +
 
 +
: Because of their [[#Computing power]] and [[#Scalable persistent memory]], [[#AI system]]s can learn faster and accumulate more knowledge than any human being. However, they are able to learn only in those domains and in those ways that their creators specify. No [[#Intelligent machine]] of today can learn without [[#Algorithms]].
  
 
===What AI is not===
 
===What AI is not===
: There are several things that AI is not. AI systems are:
+
: [[#AI-powered system]]s may ''mimic'' or, more exactly, ''replicate'' human intelligence. However, they are not ''beings'', ''individuals'', ''personages'', nor ''souls''. They are tools.
:* '''Lacking common or conventional senses''': AI lacks inherent moral or ethical values, and any ethical concerns in AI systems result from the decisions made by their human developers, as well as the biases ingrained in the training data. Unintentionally, AI models can perpetuate biases present in their training data, underscoring the necessity of ethical considerations in AI development. Additionally, despite their potency in specific tasks, AI systems frequently encounter challenges in common sense reasoning, grappling with interpreting implicit meanings, grasping context, and making inferences beyond their training data.
+
 
:* '''Lacking emotions, intuition, or feelings''': AI lacks the capacity for intuition or gut feelings, as human intuition often involves subconscious processing and experiences that are difficult to reproduce in machines. AI is also emotionless. AI does not possess authentic emotions, feelings, or subjective experiences. While certain AI applications may simulate emotional responses or recognize human emotions, such simulations are rooted in pattern recognition and do not constitute a true understanding of emotions.
+
: [[#Intelligent machine]]s of today lack a true understanding of its surroundings and, overall, the world at least yet. For example, [[#AI-driven system]]s can sound like humans because, similarly to ''parrots'', they learn from human speech samples.
:* '''Unable to perform without pre-training''': AI models encounter challenges when adapting to unseen contexts due to their reliance on the training data, struggling with entirely new or unforeseen situations that were not part of their training set and lacking the ability to generalize knowledge like humans. While AI can generate novel outputs based on learned patterns, it falls short of true creative thinking, imagination, and inspiration, as it cannot form unique concepts beyond the confines of its training data. Operating within the parameters set by their programming and training, AI systems are only partially autonomous, lacking the ability to act beyond their specified functions and requiring human guidance for goal-setting, supervision, and contextual understanding.
+
 
:* '''Unconscious''': no AI system possesses consciousness. They lack self-awareness, subjective experiences, motivation, and a true understanding of the world. They are tools that process information based on patterns learned from data but do not have awareness or intentions.
+
: No single [[#AI system]] possesses consciousness, intentions, interests, motivations, subjective experiences, self-awareness or awareness of their existence. Similarly to "special police" not being regular police, as of now, artificial intelligence is not general intelligence at least yet.
 +
 
 +
===AI vs ML===
 +
: [[#ML]] is a separate area of studies within [[#AI]]. However, no [[#AI]] can be possible without [[#ML]]. When people say, "AI and ML", they may be emphasizing the distinction between traditional AI methods and approaches that involve machine learning techniques.
  
 +
: Traditional [[#AI]] includes rule-based systems and expert systems, while [[#Machine learning]] relies on data-driven approaches to improve performance over time. By mentioning both ML and AI, individuals may want to acknowledge the broader context of AI and highlight the specific role that machine learning plays within that framework.
 +
 +
===Animals vs AI===
 +
: Naturally, intelligence is a capacity of animals, especially of humans. Some argue that plants demonstrate limited intelligence as well. That is why the intelligence that computers or robots may demonstrate is called "artificial".
 +
 +
: Parents teach their kids, while giving them initial instructions and exposing them to the real world to learn. To train an [[#AI system]], their creators supply this system with [[#Data]] and [[#Algorithms]] to process it. No parents can predict everything their kids do; similarly, designers of [[#AI model]]s cannot anticipate everything their creations would produce.
 +
 +
: Nevertheless, there is a distinctive difference between raising children and training of machines. Parental controls over what their kids learn and over patterns of their learning are limited. Developers of [[#AI model]]s today have full control over [[#Algorithms]] that the machines utilize to learn and perform, as well as over [[#Data]] provided during pre-training.
 +
 +
==Capability of AI==
 
===What AI can===
 
===What AI can===
: AI systems have the capability to execute tasks that are not exclusively programmed in advance. They can be grouped in three [[#AI task subsets]]:
+
: By definition, [[#AI]] can perform at least one task autonomously, where "autonomously" refers to the limited ability of an [[#AI system]] to function independently without external control or direct human intervention.
:# '''Autonomous acquisition''' of data through listening, reading, and graphic recognition. These tasks are commonly known as [[machine learning]] (ML).
+
 
:# '''Autonomous processing''' of data through its analysis and classification. These tasks are commonly known as [[discriminate AI]].
+
: [[#AI system]]s have the capability to execute tasks that are not exclusively programmed in advance. They can be grouped in three task sets:
:# '''Autonomous production''' of results through delivery of documents, speech, or commands, for instance, needed for autonomous driving. These tasks are commonly known as [[generative AI]].
+
:# '''Partially-autonomous acquisition''' of data through listening, reading, and graphic recognition. These tasks are commonly known as [[#Machine learning]] ([[#ML]]).
 +
:# '''Partially-autonomous discrimination''' of data through its analysis and classification. The word "discrimination" originates from the Latin verb "discriminare," which means "to distinguish" or "to separate." Those [[#AI model]]s that perform these tasks are commonly known as [[#Discriminative model]]s.
 +
:# '''Partially-autonomous generation''' of results through delivery of produced outputs such as documents and commands, for instance, needed for autonomous driving. Those [[#AI model]]s that perform these tasks are commonly known as [[#Generative model]]s.
 +
 
 +
: Generally speaking, autonomy implies some level of self-governance and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances without relying on continuous commands, guidance, or instructions from external sources.
 +
 
 +
===What AI can't yet===
 +
: As of today, [[#AI system]]s are only partially autonomous, lacking the ability to act beyond their specified functions and requiring human guidance for contextual understanding, goal-setting, and supervision. Currently, [[#AI]]:
 +
:* '''Can't perform without [[#Algorithms]]''' and, often, training: [[#AI model]]s encounter challenges when adapting to unseen contexts due to their reliance on the training data, struggling with entirely new or unforeseen situations that were not part of their training set and lacking the ability to generalize knowledge like humans. While AI can generate novel outputs based on learned patterns, it falls short of true creative thinking, imagination, and inspiration, as it cannot form unique concepts beyond the confines of its training data.
 +
:* '''Have no common or conventional senses''': AI lacks inherent ethics. Ethical concerns arise from human developers' decisions and biases in training data, unintentionally perpetuating biases. Despite potency in tasks, AI faces challenges in common sense reasoning, interpreting implicit meanings, grasping context, and making inferences beyond training data.
 +
:* '''Have no emotion, intuition, or feeling''': AI lacks the capacity for intuition or gut feelings, as human intuition often involves subconscious processing and experiences that are difficult to reproduce in machines. While certain AI applications may simulate emotional responses or recognize human emotions, such simulations are rooted in pattern recognition and do not constitute a true understanding of emotions.
 +
: As of today, [[#AI system]]s operate within the parameters set by their programming with [[#Algorithms]] and training.
 +
 
 +
===AI vs AGI===
 +
: As of now, [[#AI]] refers to limited intellectual capacity called [[#Narrow AI]]. [[#Artificial intelligence]] of today can perform partially autonomously narrow, specific tasks such as chatbots, facial and speech recognition, recommendation systems, self-driving cars, and virtual assistants.
 +
 
 +
: On the contrary, [[#Artificial general intelligence]] or [[#AGI]], if developed, would be able to perform any intellectual task that a human can do. [[#General AI]] is in the research phase and is not commercially available.  
  
===What AI can't===
+
: In 2019, Elon Musk expressed his belief that [[#AGI]] will be possible by 2029. In the same year, China-based AI visionary Kai-Fu Lee said in an interview that [[#AGI]] would be developed, "not within the next 30 years and possibly never".  
While AI offers numerous benefits, it is essential to consider ethical and societal implications, including concerns related to bias, privacy, and job displacement. Responsible development and deployment of AI technologies are crucial to realizing the full potential of AI while addressing associated challenges.
 
  
While AI brings about significant positive changes, it also raises challenges such as ethical considerations, job displacement, bias in algorithms, and privacy concerns. It is essential to address these challenges responsibly to ensure that AI benefits society as a whole.
+
: If researchers are able to develop an AGI system, it could have significant implications for society, including creation of machines that are more intelligent than humans, which could pose ethical and safety concerns.
  
===AI vs animals===
+
===Growth of AI capacity===
: Naturally, intelligence is a capacity of animals; some argue that plants demonstrate limited intelligence as well. That is why the intelligence that computers or robots may demonstrate is called "artificial". Similarly to "special police" not being regular police, artificial intelligence is not regular intelligence.
 
  
===AI vs ML===
+
==Impact on jobs==
: Intelligence, as competence to perform not strictly pre-programmed tasks, requires at least one specific capability known as [[learning]]. ''Learning'' is a process of autonomous acquiring new or modifying existing data.
+
[[How Safe Is My Job]]
  
: ''AI'' is built on [[machine learning]] (ML), in which a computer or robot acquire new data autonomously. ''ML'' is a separate area of studies within ''AI''. However, no ''AI'' can be possible without ''ML''.
+
==AI system==
 +
An [[#AI system]] refers to a [[#System]] such as a computer, drone, self-driving car, or robot that can perform one or more tasks autonomously, without explicit human command. Some people refer [[#AI system]]s to software only and use terms such as [[#AI-driven system]]s, [[#AI-powered system]]s, or [[#Intelligent machine]]s to indicate not-only-software systems. However, those terms are often used interchangeably.
  
==Task subsets of AI==
+
Literally, [[#AI]] is software. Any software requires hardware, which stands for physical devices that allows for software to run. Any, robotic or non-robotic, [[#AI system]] needs (a) [[#Computing power]] to compute, (b) [[#Persistent memory]] to store [[#Data]], (c) actuators, dashboards, keyboards, sensors, or other [[#AI peripheral]]s, as well as (d) connectors and wires to connect the system's components.
  
 +
Besides [[#AI model]]s and hardware, [[#AI]] needs [[#AI agent]]s, [[#Algorithms]], [[#Data]], and the software to enable those. So, when we say [[#AI]], we often refer to some combination of software and hardware pieces. Depending on the type and complexity of the task, [[#AI system]]s can use different combinations of hardware and software components.
  
===AI beats humans at===
+
===AI agent===
: Obviously, AI has a potential to outperform a human in a few domains such as:
+
: An AI agent is any software or hardware component of an [[#AI system]] that is responsible for:
:# '''Data analysis and pattern recognition''': AI helps researches by looking at lots of complicated data, pretending to do experiments, and finding patterns in big sets of information. This makes science discoveries happen faster. AI is really good at handling a ton of data fast, and it's used in different areas like business, healthcare, and research to figure things out and make smart decisions based on the data. In science, it helps speed up discoveries in subjects like physics, chemistry, and biology.  AI algorithms excel at processing large amounts of data quickly to identify patterns or trends that might not be apparent to humans. This capability helps solve complex problems by uncovering hidden insights and relationships within the data.
+
:# '''Input data intake''' through perceiving the system's environment. To collect data, AI agents often have [[#AI peripheral]]s.
:# '''Massive personalization''': AI watches how you use things online, like shopping or watching videos, to make everything more personalized and enjoyable for you. It suggests things you might like or shows you ads for stuff you're interested in. This makes your experience better and more fun. customization
+
:# '''System's decision''' through using algorithms, rules, or machine learning models to analyze the information they receive and make decisions based on that analysis. The decision-making process is typically aimed at achieving a specific goal or solving a particular problem.
:# '''Predictive modeling''': AI can create predictive models based on historical data, helping anticipate future outcomes and events. These models enable better planning and proactive measures to address potential issues before they become significant problems.
+
:# '''Output delivery''' such as taking actions to achieve specific goals. Once an [[#AI system]] made a decision, the AI agent takes actions in the environment. This could involve physical actions in the case of a robotic agent or virtual actions in the case of software-based agents.
:# '''Process optimization''': AI, like smart computer tools, can make things work better and faster through their re-arrangement. It helps businesses do their jobs more efficiently and saves money by finding smart ways to get things done.    Optimization: AI can optimize various processes using mathematical models and optimization algorithms. By finding optimal solutions for resource allocation, scheduling, logistics, or other constraints, AI significantly improves efficiency and productivity in problem-solving.
 
:# '''Simulation experiments''': With the ability to process vast datasets and perform rapid simulations, AI accelerates the experimental cycle. As a result, researchers and developers can iterate through ideas and test hypotheses more rapidly, expediting problem resolution. experiments
 
:# '''Task automation''': AI helps people with boring tasks at work so they can spend more time doing interesting and creative things. For example, instead of doing the same job over and over again, AI helps people focus on fun and challenging parts of their work, making everything go faster and better. Automating repetitive tasks: By automating routine and time-consuming tasks, AI allows individuals and organizations to focus on more challenging aspects of problem-solving. This frees up resources and enables faster decision-making.
 
  
 +
: Based on their level of autonomy and learning capability, AI agents may be divided in (a) [[reactive agent]]s that follow predefined rules and respond to specific situations without learning from experience and (b) [[intelligent agent]]s that are capable to learn from experience, adapt their behavior based on feedback, improve performance over time, and/or acquire new knowledge to handle different situations. Intelligent agents are [[#AI system]]s on their own.
  
Artificial intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field that has achieved remarkable feats in various domains. Some of the areas where AI can outperform humans are:
+
===Algorithms===
 +
: In the context of [[#AI system]]s, [[#Algorithm]]s are the rules or instructions that [[#AI system]]s follows to complete their tasks. In the broader sense, an algorithm is a step-by-step set of directives, procedures, and/or regulations that dictate how a specific task or computation should be performed.
  
- **Image and object recognition**: AI systems can process and analyze large amounts of visual data faster and more accurately than humans. For example, AI can identify toys, faces, animals, and even diseases from images¹.
+
: [[#AI system]]s normally utilize several [[#Algorithms]]. Generally speaking, the more complex [[#AI system]] is, the more [[#Algorithms]] it tends to utilize. The [[#Algorithms]] can be divided in two categories:
- **Video games**: AI systems can learn to master complex and strategic games by playing against themselves or other opponents. For example, AI can beat human champions in games like Go, chess, StarCraft, and Doom¹.
+
:# Those that are used in [[#Model development]].
- **Voice generation and recognition**: AI systems can synthesize realistic and natural-sounding voices from text or speech. They can also understand and transcribe human speech with high accuracy. For example, AI can generate voice assistants, audiobooks, and captions¹.
+
:# Those that are used in [[#Inference]] or making predictions on new, unseen data. The [[#Inference]] algorithms, particularly, are used to process data and perform tasks that [[#End-user]]s prompt.
- **Natural language processing**: AI systems can understand, generate, and translate natural language texts. They can also perform tasks such as summarization, sentiment analysis, question answering, and dialogue. For example, AI can write essays, poems, news articles, and chat with humans²³.
 
- **Data analysis and decision making**: AI systems can collect, process, and interpret large and complex datasets. They can also provide insights, predictions, and recommendations based on data. For example, AI can help with stock market analysis, medical diagnoses, legal document review, and scientific discoveries¹⁴.
 
- **Creativity and innovation**: AI systems can produce original and novel content such as art, music, code, and inventions. They can also enhance and optimize existing content. For example, AI can paint pictures, compose songs, generate code, and design products¹⁵.
 
  
===AI aids humans===
+
: [[#Algorithms]] can be based on logic, optimization, or statistical techniques. Data scientists and engineers who specialize in [[#AI]] and [[#ML]] design mathematical models, develop learning algorithms, implement them using programming languages, test their predictions, and adjust them based on the testing.
: Obviously, AI has a potential to complement a human in a few domains such as:
 
:# '''Brainstorming and creativity''': AI can help us think of cool and new ideas by finding clever solutions to problems. It's like having a smart assistant that can help with creative things like making art, music, or writing. Innovation and creativity
 
:# '''Content generation''':
 
:# '''Communication in natural languages''': AI-powered [[natural language processing]] (NLP) helps machines understand and use human language better. Think of virtual assistants or chatbots that talk to you -- AI makes them work by understanding and using human language. It also helps with language translation, making it easier for people to communicate all around the world. Natural language processing (NLP): NLP technology enables machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language effectively. It facilitates communication between humans and machines, making it easier to express problems and receive solutions in natural language.
 
:# '''Data collection''' Reinforcement learning: Through reinforcement learning, AI systems learn from their experiences and adapt over time. They continuously improve their performance as they encounter new situations, which is particularly useful when dealing with dynamic or evolving problems.
 
:# '''Decision-making support''': AI is like a super-fast brain that can look at a lot of information really quickly. It helps people make smarter decisions by showing them important things, patterns, and guesses about what might happen next. This is super useful in jobs like planning for a business, managing money, or making rules for everyone. AI makes decisions better because it's really good at understanding lots of information fast.    Decision support: AI provides decision support tools that augment human judgment by presenting relevant information, visualizations, and alternative courses of action. Such assistance helps reduce cognitive biases and errors, leading to improved decision-making.
 
:# '''Expert-knowledge support''': Expert systems leverage AI techniques to emulate human expertise in specific domains. They provide recommendations and guidance based on predefined rules and heuristics, enabling users to make informed decisions and solve domain-specific problems efficiently.
 
:# '''Problem-solving support''':    Collaborative problem-solving: Human-AI collaboration combines the strengths of both parties, leveraging human creativity, intuition, and ethical considerations alongside AI's computational power, accuracy, and consistency. Joint efforts lead to more effective problem-solving approaches than either party could achieve independently.

==AI task subsets==
+
: In the meanwhile, once trained, any [[#AI model]] needs a [[#Deployment infrastructure]] to function in real-world applications. Efficient hardware and software [[#Training infrastructure]] is necessary for training large-scale AI models. Without the appropriate infrastructure, training times can be prohibitively long, hindering the development process.
  
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a broad and multidisciplinary field that encompasses various subfields and branches. Here are some key branches of AI:
+
===Data===
 +
: In the context of [[#AI system]]s, [[#Data]] is the raw material that [[#AI system]]s use to learn from and make predictions. [[#Data]] can be [[#Structured data]] (such as categories, labels, or numbers) or [[#Unstructured data]] (such as audio, images, or text). [[#End-user]]'s input such as a [[#Prompt]] is a part of [[#Data]] as well.
  
    Machine Learning (ML): ML is a subset of AI that focuses on the development of algorithms and statistical models that enable computers to perform tasks without explicit programming. It includes supervised learning, unsupervised learning, and reinforcement learning.
+
[[#Persistent memory]]
  
    Natural Language Processing (NLP): NLP involves the interaction between computers and human (natural) languages. It includes tasks such as speech recognition, language translation, and sentiment analysis.
+
===Scalable persistent memory===
 +
: Human memory is not a persistent storage system and is subject to decay and changes over time.
  
    Computer Vision: This branch enables machines to interpret and make decisions based on visual data. Computer vision is used in image and video recognition, object detection, facial recognition, and more.
+
Data intake and storage
 +
: Including code, image, text, video, and voice acquisition. AI systems can accept large amounts of data faster and more accurately than humans. For example, AI can identify toys, faces, animals, and even diseases from images. They can also understand and transcribe human speech with high accuracy.
  
    Robotics: AI in robotics involves creating intelligent machines capable of performing tasks in the physical world. It combines elements of computer science, engineering, and mechanical design.
+
==AI model==
 +
An [[#AI model]] is the knowledge abstraction or representation that makes an [[#AI system]] intelligent.
  
    Expert Systems: Expert systems are computer programs designed to mimic the decision-making abilities of a human expert in a specific domain. They use knowledge bases and inference engines to make decisions.
+
own knowledge abstractions called [[#AI model]]s.
  
    Knowledge Representation and Reasoning: This branch focuses on how to represent information about the world in a form that a computer system can utilize to solve complex tasks. It also deals with the reasoning processes that derive conclusions from that information.
 
  
    Planning and Decision Making: This involves creating algorithms and systems that can make decisions and plan actions in dynamic environments. It's crucial for AI systems to make intelligent choices based on available information.
+
[[#Model development]]
  
    Game Playing: AI has been applied to playing games, ranging from traditional board games like chess and Go to modern video games. This involves creating algorithms that can strategize and compete against human or other AI opponents.
+
===Model architecture===
 +
: [[#AI system]]s often deploy multiple models and their combination is called [[#Model architecture]].
  
    Machine Perception: Machine perception is about endowing machines with the ability to interpret and understand the world through senses like vision and hearing. It includes tasks such as object recognition, speech recognition, and gesture recognition.
+
: Different models make predictions, classifications, or decisions based on new or unseen data. Some models work with input agents, some do with decision agents, and same work with output agents. For instance, in [[#GPT]],
 +
:* A dedicated tokenization model chunks [[#End-user]]'s request in smaller tokens.
 +
:* [[#Discriminative model]]s process the chunked tokens. One model maps it to a high-dimensional vector, known as a token embedding. Another model adds to this embedding token's position in a prompt, etc.
 +
:* Finally, [[#Generative model]]s are used to generate the output. For instance, one model may suggest the output format, another may so its content, the third may make sure that the output fits the audience, etc.
  
    Swarm Intelligence: Inspired by the collective behavior of social insects, swarm intelligence involves the study of systems where a large number of simple agents work together to solve complex problems.
+
: Any [[#AI model]] generalizes its learning from the training data to perform tasks on new, similar data. That way, the models can capture patterns, relationships, or features that are relevant for a specific task or domain.
  
    Evolutionary Computation: This branch involves algorithms inspired by the process of natural selection. Genetic algorithms, for example, are optimization algorithms that use principles of natural selection to evolve solutions to problems.
+
===Large language model===
  
These branches often overlap, and advancements in one area can benefit others. AI is a rapidly evolving field, and new branches and interdisciplinary approaches continue to emerge.
+
==Workflow of AI system==
 +
: For example, when a user prompts a [[#Generative Pre-trained Transformer]] or [[#GPT]] to answer his or her question, this AI system:
 +
:# '''Transforms''' the unstructured human prompt, while encoding it into a set of structured machine requests. The machine requests identify the prompted answer format, the topic or topics to address, etc. To create structured requests, the system compares the human request with the prompt dataset.
 +
:# '''Studies''' those areas of its large dataset that are relevant to the request. To create that dataset, the system receives the data, usually, an enormous volume of data, in advance. This process is known as ''pre-training''.
 +
:# '''Generates''' the response, while selecting most likely words in a most likely sequence from large dataset.  
  
==Applications of AI==
+
==Model development==
 +
[[#Algorithms]], both learning and optimization, are integral to creating models in machine learning. Learning algorithms such as ones for [[#Training]], [[#Evaluation]], and/or [[#Hyperparameter tuning]] enable models to discover patterns in data. [[#Optimization]] algorithms adjust model parameters for optimal performance during training.
  
===Narrow===
+
===Training===
: [[Narrow AI]] is designed for specific tasks,  
+
: During the training phase, an algorithm is employed to optimize the parameters of a model. This involves presenting the model with a dataset, allowing it to learn patterns and relationships within the data. The algorithm adjusts the model's parameters iteratively to minimize the difference between its predictions and the actual outcomes in the training data.
  
Narrow AI, also known as Weak AI, refers to artificial intelligence systems that are designed and trained for a specific task or a narrow set of tasks. Unlike general artificial intelligence, which would possess the ability to understand, learn, and perform any intellectual task that a human being can, narrow AI is limited to a predefined function.
+
===Optimization===
 +
: Optimization algorithms are often used to fine-tune the parameters of a model to improve its performance. Gradient descent is a common optimization algorithm that adjusts the model's parameters based on the gradient of the loss function with respect to those parameters.
  
Narrow AI systems excel at performing well-defined and specific tasks, such as image recognition, language translation, speech recognition, and playing board games like chess or Go. These systems are not capable of generalizing their knowledge or skills to perform tasks outside their designated scope.
+

What AI is about

What AI is

Non-intelligent machines simply execute strict commands of their operators. Non-intelligent software follow explicit rules programmed by human developers.
#AI stands for #Artificial intelligence, which is the competency of an artificial system to learn and perform partially or fully autonomously based on what this system such as a computer, drone, self-driving car, or robot has learned.
For instance, Google-owned AlphaZero is given no knowledge beyond basic chess rules. Instead, this #AI model is prompted to play against itself and, using #Reinforcement learning, to learn from its own mistakes. Win or lose, AlphaZero piles up lessons learned from its millions and millions of games. According to its creator, Demis Hassabis,
"Actually you set off AlphaZero in the morning and it starts off playing randomly. By lunchtime, you know it's able to beat [...] most chess players. And then, by the evening, it's stronger than the world champion."
Because of their #Computing power and #Scalable persistent memory, #AI systems can learn faster and accumulate more knowledge than any human being. However, they are able to learn only in those domains and in those ways that their creators specify. No #Intelligent machine of today can learn without #Algorithms.

What AI is not

#AI-powered systems may mimic or, more exactly, replicate human intelligence. However, they are not beings, individuals, personages, nor souls. They are tools.
#Intelligent machines of today lack a true understanding of its surroundings and, overall, the world at least yet. For example, #AI-driven systems can sound like humans because, similarly to parrots, they learn from human speech samples.
No single #AI system possesses consciousness, intentions, interests, motivations, subjective experiences, self-awareness or awareness of their existence. Similarly to "special police" not being regular police, as of now, artificial intelligence is not general intelligence at least yet.

AI vs ML

#ML is a separate area of studies within #AI. However, no #AI can be possible without #ML. When people say, "AI and ML", they may be emphasizing the distinction between traditional AI methods and approaches that involve machine learning techniques.
Traditional #AI includes rule-based systems and expert systems, while #Machine learning relies on data-driven approaches to improve performance over time. By mentioning both ML and AI, individuals may want to acknowledge the broader context of AI and highlight the specific role that machine learning plays within that framework.

Animals vs AI

Naturally, intelligence is a capacity of animals, especially of humans. Some argue that plants demonstrate limited intelligence as well. That is why the intelligence that computers or robots may demonstrate is called "artificial".
Parents teach their kids, while giving them initial instructions and exposing them to the real world to learn. To train an #AI system, their creators supply this system with #Data and #Algorithms to process it. No parents can predict everything their kids do; similarly, designers of #AI models cannot anticipate everything their creations would produce.
Nevertheless, there is a distinctive difference between raising children and training of machines. Parental controls over what their kids learn and over patterns of their learning are limited. Developers of #AI models today have full control over #Algorithms that the machines utilize to learn and perform, as well as over #Data provided during pre-training.

Capability of AI

What AI can

By definition, #AI can perform at least one task autonomously, where "autonomously" refers to the limited ability of an #AI system to function independently without external control or direct human intervention.
#AI systems have the capability to execute tasks that are not exclusively programmed in advance. They can be grouped in three task sets:
  1. Partially-autonomous acquisition of data through listening, reading, and graphic recognition. These tasks are commonly known as #Machine learning (#ML).
  2. Partially-autonomous discrimination of data through its analysis and classification. The word "discrimination" originates from the Latin verb "discriminare," which means "to distinguish" or "to separate." Those #AI models that perform these tasks are commonly known as #Discriminative models.
  3. Partially-autonomous generation of results through delivery of produced outputs such as documents and commands, for instance, needed for autonomous driving. Those #AI models that perform these tasks are commonly known as #Generative models.
Generally speaking, autonomy implies some level of self-governance and the ability to adapt to changing circumstances without relying on continuous commands, guidance, or instructions from external sources.

What AI can't yet

As of today, #AI systems are only partially autonomous, lacking the ability to act beyond their specified functions and requiring human guidance for contextual understanding, goal-setting, and supervision. Currently, #AI:
  • Can't perform without #Algorithms and, often, training: #AI models encounter challenges when adapting to unseen contexts due to their reliance on the training data, struggling with entirely new or unforeseen situations that were not part of their training set and lacking the ability to generalize knowledge like humans. While AI can generate novel outputs based on learned patterns, it falls short of true creative thinking, imagination, and inspiration, as it cannot form unique concepts beyond the confines of its training data.
  • Have no common or conventional senses: AI lacks inherent ethics. Ethical concerns arise from human developers' decisions and biases in training data, unintentionally perpetuating biases. Despite potency in tasks, AI faces challenges in common sense reasoning, interpreting implicit meanings, grasping context, and making inferences beyond training data.
  • Have no emotion, intuition, or feeling: AI lacks the capacity for intuition or gut feelings, as human intuition often involves subconscious processing and experiences that are difficult to reproduce in machines. While certain AI applications may simulate emotional responses or recognize human emotions, such simulations are rooted in pattern recognition and do not constitute a true understanding of emotions.
As of today, #AI systems operate within the parameters set by their programming with #Algorithms and training.

AI vs AGI

As of now, #AI refers to limited intellectual capacity called #Narrow AI. #Artificial intelligence of today can perform partially autonomously narrow, specific tasks such as chatbots, facial and speech recognition, recommendation systems, self-driving cars, and virtual assistants.
On the contrary, #Artificial general intelligence or #AGI, if developed, would be able to perform any intellectual task that a human can do. #General AI is in the research phase and is not commercially available.
In 2019, Elon Musk expressed his belief that #AGI will be possible by 2029. In the same year, China-based AI visionary Kai-Fu Lee said in an interview that #AGI would be developed, "not within the next 30 years and possibly never".
If researchers are able to develop an AGI system, it could have significant implications for society, including creation of machines that are more intelligent than humans, which could pose ethical and safety concerns.

AI system

An #AI system refers to a #System such as a computer, drone, self-driving car, or robot that can perform one or more tasks autonomously, without explicit human command. Some people refer #AI systems to software only and use terms such as #AI-driven systems, #AI-powered systems, or #Intelligent machines to indicate not-only-software systems. However, those terms are often used interchangeably.

Literally, #AI is software. Any software requires hardware, which stands for physical devices that allows for software to run. Any, robotic or non-robotic, #AI system needs (a) #Computing power to compute, (b) #Persistent memory to store #Data, (c) actuators, dashboards, keyboards, sensors, or other #AI peripherals, as well as (d) connectors and wires to connect the system's components.

Besides #AI models and hardware, #AI needs #AI agents, #Algorithms, #Data, and the software to enable those. So, when we say #AI, we often refer to some combination of software and hardware pieces. Depending on the type and complexity of the task, #AI systems can use different combinations of hardware and software components.

AI agent

An AI agent is any software or hardware component of an #AI system that is responsible for:
  1. Input data intake through perceiving the system's environment. To collect data, AI agents often have #AI peripherals.
  2. System's decision through using algorithms, rules, or machine learning models to analyze the information they receive and make decisions based on that analysis. The decision-making process is typically aimed at achieving a specific goal or solving a particular problem.
  3. Output delivery such as taking actions to achieve specific goals. Once an #AI system made a decision, the AI agent takes actions in the environment. This could involve physical actions in the case of a robotic agent or virtual actions in the case of software-based agents.
Based on their level of autonomy and learning capability, AI agents may be divided in (a) reactive agents that follow predefined rules and respond to specific situations without learning from experience and (b) intelligent agents that are capable to learn from experience, adapt their behavior based on feedback, improve performance over time, and/or acquire new knowledge to handle different situations. Intelligent agents are #AI systems on their own.

Algorithms

In the context of #AI systems, #Algorithms are the rules or instructions that #AI systems follows to complete their tasks. In the broader sense, an algorithm is a step-by-step set of directives, procedures, and/or regulations that dictate how a specific task or computation should be performed.
#AI systems normally utilize several #Algorithms. Generally speaking, the more complex #AI system is, the more #Algorithms it tends to utilize. The #Algorithms can be divided in two categories:
  1. Those that are used in #Model development.
  2. Those that are used in #Inference or making predictions on new, unseen data. The #Inference algorithms, particularly, are used to process data and perform tasks that #End-users prompt.
#Algorithms can be based on logic, optimization, or statistical techniques. Data scientists and engineers who specialize in #AI and #ML design mathematical models, develop learning algorithms, implement them using programming languages, test their predictions, and adjust them based on the testing.

Computing power

In the context of #AI systems, #Computing power refers to the capabilities of the hardware processors that perform the tasks and computations associated with artificial intelligence (AI) applications.
  • #Central processing units (#CPUs) are normally used in simple models on small datasets, inference on low-resource devices, non-deep learning algorithms, and demonstrations. Because of their limited number of cores, they are not sufficient in running more complex computations in #AI.
  • #Graphics processing units (#GPUs) offer significant advantages in terms of accelerating various AI processes in comparison with #CPUs. #GPUs have hundreds or even thousands of cores, which allow them processing their tasks simultaneously in parallel. Although #GPUs were initially designed for graphics processing, they make early #Deep learning possible. Large-scale models with millions or billions of parameters require more powerful hardware accelerators than #CPUs.
  • #Tensor Processing Units (#TPUs) are the newest category of processors in #AI. Google developed them specifically for #Deep learning. However, because of #TPUs' significant costs, they have been only used for some of the most recent and advanced models, such as GPT-4 and CodeLlama.
As of early 2024, the statistics is not available, but it seems that #GPUs are still the most widely used hardware processors for AI computing, followed by #TPUs, which are gaining popularity and adoption. #CPUs are likely to have a very low percentage of AI computing, as they are not efficient or powerful enough for most AI tasks.
In the meanwhile, once trained, any #AI model needs a #Deployment infrastructure to function in real-world applications. Efficient hardware and software #Training infrastructure is necessary for training large-scale AI models. Without the appropriate infrastructure, training times can be prohibitively long, hindering the development process.

Data

In the context of #AI systems, #Data is the raw material that #AI systems use to learn from and make predictions. #Data can be #Structured data (such as categories, labels, or numbers) or #Unstructured data (such as audio, images, or text). #End-user's input such as a #Prompt is a part of #Data as well.

#Persistent memory

Scalable persistent memory

Human memory is not a persistent storage system and is subject to decay and changes over time.

Data intake and storage

Including code, image, text, video, and voice acquisition. AI systems can accept large amounts of data faster and more accurately than humans. For example, AI can identify toys, faces, animals, and even diseases from images. They can also understand and transcribe human speech with high accuracy.

AI model

An #AI model is the knowledge abstraction or representation that makes an #AI system intelligent.

own knowledge abstractions called #AI models.


#Model development

Model architecture

#AI systems often deploy multiple models and their combination is called #Model architecture.
Different models make predictions, classifications, or decisions based on new or unseen data. Some models work with input agents, some do with decision agents, and same work with output agents. For instance, in #GPT,
  • A dedicated tokenization model chunks #End-user's request in smaller tokens.
  • #Discriminative models process the chunked tokens. One model maps it to a high-dimensional vector, known as a token embedding. Another model adds to this embedding token's position in a prompt, etc.
  • Finally, #Generative models are used to generate the output. For instance, one model may suggest the output format, another may so its content, the third may make sure that the output fits the audience, etc.
Any #AI model generalizes its learning from the training data to perform tasks on new, similar data. That way, the models can capture patterns, relationships, or features that are relevant for a specific task or domain.

Large language model

Workflow of AI system

For example, when a user prompts a #Generative Pre-trained Transformer or #GPT to answer his or her question, this AI system:
  1. Transforms the unstructured human prompt, while encoding it into a set of structured machine requests. The machine requests identify the prompted answer format, the topic or topics to address, etc. To create structured requests, the system compares the human request with the prompt dataset.
  2. Studies those areas of its large dataset that are relevant to the request. To create that dataset, the system receives the data, usually, an enormous volume of data, in advance. This process is known as pre-training.
  3. Generates the response, while selecting most likely words in a most likely sequence from large dataset.

Model development

#Algorithms, both learning and optimization, are integral to creating models in machine learning. Learning algorithms such as ones for #Training, #Evaluation, and/or #Hyperparameter tuning enable models to discover patterns in data. #Optimization algorithms adjust model parameters for optimal performance during training.

Training

During the training phase, an algorithm is employed to optimize the parameters of a model. This involves presenting the model with a dataset, allowing it to learn patterns and relationships within the data. The algorithm adjusts the model's parameters iteratively to minimize the difference between its predictions and the actual outcomes in the training data.

Optimization

Optimization algorithms are often used to fine-tune the parameters of a model to improve its performance. Gradient descent is a common optimization algorithm that adjusts the model's parameters based on the gradient of the loss function with respect to those parameters.

Evaluation

Algorithms are also used to evaluate the performance of models. Metrics such as accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score are calculated using specific algorithms to assess how well the model generalizes to new data.

Hyperparameter tuning

Algorithms play a role in the process of hyperparameter tuning, where the values of hyperparameters (settings not learned during training) are adjusted to find the optimal configuration for the model.

AI peripheral

In the context of #AI systems, peripheral devices or #AI peripherals enable the system's interaction with the physical world. The peripherals represent the system's hardware beyond their core computing. To interact with the digital world, #AI systems utilize #APIs.

The peripheral devices interface with or connect to #AI agents to facilitate their communication with their their physical environment. End-users of #AI systems use the peripherals to work with these systems.

Input devices

AI input devices enable input from the physical world into #AI systems.
  • Manipulators such as buttons, joysticks, keyboards, mouses, steering wheels, etc. enable human manual input into #AI systems. Utilizing those, #End-users may manually input commands, queries, or parameters.
  • Sensors such as accelerometers, cameras, microphones, radars, scanners, and etc. enable automatic input into #AI systems.

Output devices

AI output devices enable output from #AI systems into the physical world. To impact the real world, a few devices can be used such as:
  • Actuators prompt physical actions of motors, robotic arms, or other mechanisms when #AI systems make such decisions.
  • Dashboards and displays (except #Two-way portals) present or display relevant information or insights. Dashboards visually represent data and information in a user-friendly way that allows users to monitor and analyze key metrics or performance indicators. They provide a centralized and easily digestible view of information. Dashboards and displays are not inherently designed for two-way communication, direct interaction, or data input from users. Touch-screen displays and similar devices belong to #Two-way portals.
  • Printers: Output devices that produce tangible results based on the AI system's outputs. This could include generating reports, images, or other forms of information.

Two-way portals

Two-way portals are interactive platforms where #End-users can both consume and contribute content. While utilizing interactive websites, collaboration platforms, and customer portals, the users can not only view information, but also actively participate by submitting data, making updates, or engaging in communication.

Transferred features

AI-powered feature transfer refers to the process of applying the behaviors, style, nonverbal communications, and/or other features of one object to another while preserving the content of the second object. In feature transfer, the model extracts specified features from one object and applies them to another.

This process can also be called "neural feature transfer." The terms such as "style transfer", "nonverbal cues transfer", etc. can describe specific processes.

Deepfake

#Deepfakes are realistic forgeries combining #Generated image, #Generated video, and/or #Synthesized speech. StyleGAN (Generative Adversarial Network) is one of the leading companies that specialize in those applications.

Transferred artistic style

#Neural style transfer involves using a pre-trained convolutional neural network to blend the content of one image with the style of another. Challenges include computational costs, potential artifacts in generated images, and the need for careful parameter tuning to achieve visually pleasing results.

Transferred nonverbal cues

#Deep Video Portraits is a technique that enables photo-realistic re-animation of portrait videos using only an input video. It manipulates or synthesizes video content with a focus on accurately transferring facial expressions and movements from one person to another in a video. It has applications in video editing, movie post-production, visual effects, visual dubbing, virtual reality, and telepresence.

Synthesized objects

AI-powered synthesis involves creating entirely new code, image, text, sound, video, or even entire pieces of art from scratch. In this case, "scratch" refers to the #AI models that are created as a result of #Training.

Challenges in AI generation encompass avoiding inaccuracies, biases, and ethical concerns, whether in text, images, videos, music, or speech. Key hurdles include ensuring realism, coherence, and addressing potential biases in training data for responsible and inclusive generation across diverse domains.

How ChatGPT works

While being prompted, "Answer in a way that a kid can understand", an #AI system looks for those texts that are created by children or for children rather than is trying to find explicit instructions for that specific case.

ChatGPT, like other models in the GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) family, is based on a transformer architecture. Here's a simplified overview of how ChatGPT works:

   Pre-training: ChatGPT is initially pre-trained on a large corpus of diverse text from the internet. During pre-training, the model learns to predict the next word in a sentence based on the context of the preceding words. This process helps the model learn grammar, facts, reasoning abilities, and even some level of world knowledge.
   Architecture: The underlying architecture of ChatGPT is the transformer architecture. Transformers use self-attention mechanisms to weigh the significance of different words in a sentence, allowing the model to capture long-range dependencies in the input data.
   Fine-tuning: After pre-training, the model can be fine-tuned on specific tasks or datasets. In the case of ChatGPT, it may be fine-tuned on conversational data to improve its performance in generating human-like responses in a chat setting.
   Prompt-based Interaction: When you interact with ChatGPT, you provide a prompt or a series of prompts, and the model generates a response based on its learned patterns from the pre-training data. The model doesn't have access to real-time data but relies on its pre-existing knowledge up to its last training cut-off.
   Response Generation: The model generates responses by sampling or selecting the most likely next word based on its learned probabilities. The generated responses aim to be contextually relevant and coherent based on the input prompt.

It's important to note that while ChatGPT can generate contextually relevant responses, it doesn't have a deep understanding or awareness of the world. It operates based on patterns learned during training and doesn't possess consciousness or true comprehension.

OpenAI may continue to update and improve models like ChatGPT over time, refining their capabilities and addressing limitations.

Prompt generators

ChatGPT prompt generators are tools that help you create effective and engaging prompts for ChatGPT, a conversational AI model based on OpenAI’s GPT-4. ChatGPT prompt generators can help you customize your interaction with ChatGPT by setting a specific role, tone, style, and objective for the response.

Some of the best ChatGPT prompt generators that I found on the web are:

ChatGPT Prompt Generator | Welcome AI: This tool lets you experiment with different prompts for ChatGPT by providing some context and your goal or objective. It also follows OpenAI’s best practices for prompt design. ChatGPT Prompt Generator | Prompt Advance: This tool allows you to enforce the style of the response by choosing from a list of predefined roles, such as friend, teacher, coach, etc. It also lets you copy the prompt with one click. AI ChatGPT Prompt Generator | Taskade: This tool uses OpenAI’s GPT-4 model to generate engaging prompts based on your specified inputs. You can also adjust the temperature and top-k parameters to control the randomness and diversity of the response.

Prompt parameters

The term "prompt parameters" typically refers to the instructions or input provided to ChatGPT in order to generate a response. When interacting with ChatGPT, the input prompt is crucial in shaping the nature and content of the AI's output. The parameters can include the style of language, the level of detail required, the context for the response, and any specific instructions or constraints you want the model to follow.

Here's an example of how you might structure a prompt with parameters:

Without Specific Parameters:

   Prompt: "Tell me about climate change."

With Specific Parameters:

   Prompt: "Provide a concise overview of the causes and effects of climate change, focusing on the last decade. Include potential solutions and their implications."

In the second example, the parameters are more explicit, guiding the AI to deliver a response that meets specific criteria. The parameters help in obtaining more tailored and useful information from the AI.

It's important to note that while ChatGPT can understand and respond to a wide range of prompts, the clarity and specificity of your input can significantly influence the quality of the generated output. Experimenting with different parameters and refining your prompts can help you get the desired results.

Prompt techniques

Although I am familiar with Hugging Face's Transformers library, I don't have direct experience with HuggingChat. However, I can provide some suggestions for utilizing prompts effectively when working with similar conversational AI models within the Hugging Face ecosystem. These "prompt tricks" could help improve interactions with HuggingChat:

1. Contextual Prompting: Provide sufficient context before asking questions or giving input. This helps prime the model and ensures generated outputs consider previous information provided. For example: ```makefile <context>: Once upon a time, there were three little pigs who decided to build houses made of straw, sticks, and bricks respectively. A big bad wolf came... <query>: What did each pig do differently regarding building materials? ``` 2. Role Assignment: Define roles explicitly at the beginning of the interaction. This allows the model to understand its position and respond accordingly. Example: ```less System: You will now act as Shakespearean character Hamlet. User: Who art thou speaking to, dear friend? Assistant: To thine own self be true, good sir! ``` 3. Task Definition: Specify the task clearly so that the model understands how to react appropriately. Examples include Question Answering, Summarization, Sentiment Analysis, etc. Here's one for QA: ```markdown Question: Which American president appears on Mount Rushmore? Context: Four presidents—George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln—are immortalized on Mount Rushmore. Answer: George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln appear on Mount Rushmore. ``` 4. Scaffolding Technique: Break down complex queries into smaller sub-questions or steps. This approach makes it easier for the model to handle intricate requests. Example: ```python Query_Part1: Can you summarize chapter 5 of 'The Catcher in the Rye?' <summarization> Query_Part2: Now, please analyze Holden's emotional state described in the summary. <analysis> ``` 5. Error Handling & Repair: If unsatisfied with the response, rephrase the query instead of repeating verbatim. This encourages the model to look at the problem from another perspective. Example: ```vbnet Original Query: Please explain quantum physics briefly. Unsatisfactory Response: Quantum mechanics deals with atomic particles' behavior. Rephrased Query: Could you give me a concise overview of quantum theory concepts like superposition and entanglement? ``` These strategies should generally work well across different conversational AI models built on top of the Hugging Face Transformers library, including HuggingChat. Adapt them according to your particular needs to optimize interactions with the model.

Parameters

ChatGPT prompts can have various parameters that affect the quality and style of the generated responses. Some of the common parameters are:

length: This parameter controls the length of the response, measured in number of tokens or words. You can adjust this value to ensure the output is neither too short nor too lengthy. top_p: This parameter controls the diversity of the response, by filtering out low-probability words. Higher values lead to more diverse responses, while lower values generate more conservative and predictable responses. frequency_penalty: This parameter affects the likelihood of generating words that have already been used in the response. Higher values result in more varied responses, while lower values lead to more repetitive responses. presence_penalty: This parameter penalizes the likelihood of generating words that are not present in the input prompt. Higher values result in more relevant responses, while lower values lead to more irrelevant responses. stop_sequence: This parameter specifies a sequence of words that ChatGPT should avoid generating in its response. You can use this parameter to prevent the generation of inappropriate or sensitive content, or to maintain the focus of the conversation. You can learn more about these and other parameters from these sources:
