AI Literacy

Tools: 

• Gemini (Google GPT) 
  • Gems: the individual spaces you can create
• Perplexity (GPT)
  • Spaces: the individual spaces you can create and share with others 
• Notebook LM 
  • Google product; uses your resources to create summaries, podcasts, answer questions, and more 
• Agents
  • These are the gems, spaces, and individual AI "bots" that you create to work a certain way or sound a certain way (based on what you've told it to do)

Core Concepts

• Artificial Intelligence (AI)

The field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence, including decision-making, visual recognition, language understanding, and problem-solving.

• Generative AI

A branch of AI that uses advanced algorithms and machine learning models to create new content—such as text, images, music, or videos—by identifying and replicating patterns from existing data.

• Machine Learning (ML)

A subset of AI in which systems are trained to learn from data, identify patterns, and make decisions with minimal human intervention. ML includes supervised, unsupervised, and reinforcement learning techniques.

• Natural Language Processing (NLP)

A field of AI that enables computers to understand, interpret, and respond to human language. Applications include chatbots, voice assistants, sentiment analysis, and automatic translation.

• Large Language Model (LLM)

An advanced NLP model trained on massive text datasets to produce coherent and contextually appropriate text. Popular examples include OpenAI’s GPT series and Meta’s Llama 2.
