Artificial Intelligence: A form of computer capability that can complete advanced tasks usually completed by humans (MIT Management Sloan School, 2021).
Generative Artificial Intelligence: Artificial Intelligence that creates new content (text, graphics, etc.) (Center for Integrative Research in Computing and Learning Sciences, 2024).
Machine Learning: A technique used to train Artificial Intelligence whereby the computer is able to produce data by identifying patterns. "In Machine Learning, an algorithm will identify rules and patterns without a human specifying those rules and patterns" (Center for Integrative Research in Computing and Learning Sciences, 2024). ChatGPT is an example of AI built using machine learning.
Large Language Model: A computer program that has been fed large amounts of content in order to be able to interpret human language and output responses to prompts in natural human language (Gartner, n.d.).
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG): An AI architecture whereby the AI is connected to a a specific external knowledge base such as a database of scholarly journals, an organization's internal data, or a library's collections (Belcic, n.d.).
