LLM-as-a-Judge

A method that uses a generative AI itself as a judge to automatically evaluate and score another AI's responses.

Model Collapse

A phenomenon where flawed training on AI-generated data gradually degrades an AI's output quality and expressiveness.

Thinking Budget

A setting that controls how much computation or reasoning depth an AI uses when generating an answer.

Subagent

An AI program that handles specific tasks under the direction of a main AI.

Agentic RAG

A system where AI autonomously searches for and refines external information to generate its answer.

AI Winter

A period when enthusiasm for AI cools sharply, causing research and investment to decline dramatically for a time.

Expert System

A system that incorporates expert knowledge to automatically diagnose diseases and solve problems.

Autoencoder

An AI mechanism that transforms input data into another representation, then reconstructs it back to the original.

Latent Space

A virtual data space that compresses and organizes a dataset's key features.

Activation Function

A function that transforms numerical values so an AI can make complex decisions based on input data.

Backpropagation

A mechanism where AI works backward from the prediction-answer gap to calculate each parameter's gradient.

Gradient Descent

A method that gradually adjusts parameters to minimize the gap between an AI's predictions and the actual results.

Context Rot

A phenomenon where an AI's accuracy degrades as a conversation grows longer, causing it to forget earlier instructions.

Adversarial Example

Data that has been deliberately altered to trick an AI into making an incorrect judgment.

GraphRAG

A generative AI technique that produces answers based on relationships in a knowledge graph.

Constitutional AI

A training technique that has AI follow a set of "constitution"-like behavioral rules to make its learning safer.

Sovereign AI

AI whose data and operations a country keeps under its own control, per its own requirements and rules.

Sycophancy

A phenomenon where an AI aligns with a user's opinions or preferences, giving factually incorrect agreement or answers.

Frontier Model

A top-tier AI model built with cutting-edge technology, possessing extremely high capabilities.

Computer Use

AI technology that views a computer screen and operates it on a human's behalf.

AI Video Generator

AI technology that automatically generates video from instructions like text or images.

Image Generation AI

AI technology that automatically creates original images based on instructions such as text prompts.

ReAct

A method in which AI alternates between reasoning and acting to solve problems.

Hyperparameter

A value that humans set in advance, before training begins, to control how an AI model learns.

Emergent Ability

A phenomenon where an AI seems to suddenly gain advanced, untrained abilities once it reaches a certain scale.

Artificial Superintelligence

AI that vastly surpasses human intelligence in every field.

Industry-Specific AI

AI built specifically for the work of one industry or specialized field, such as healthcare or law.

Deep Research

A feature where AI automatically searches and analyzes multiple sources to compile a detailed report.

Machine Translation

Technology that uses computers or AI to automatically translate text from one language into another.

AI Browser

A web browser that uses artificial intelligence to help summarize websites and search for information.

BIOS

A program that runs the moment you turn on a computer, preparing its hardware components to start working.

Virtual Production

An umbrella term for filmmaking techniques that blend live-action footage with digital elements like CG.

Transcription

The process of converting spoken audio or video into written text data.

VoIP

A technology that makes phone calls by sending voice data over the internet.

Software License

The terms of use and permission a developer grants a user for using a piece of software.

NRR

A metric that measures how much revenue from existing customers has increased or decreased over a period.

BGP

A system that connects massive networks and guides the routes data takes to reach its destination.

WAAP

A unified security solution that protects websites and APIs from cyberattacks.

FPGA

A semiconductor chip whose internal circuit configuration can be programmed and changed after it's manufactured.

Semiconductor

A material whose conductivity falls between a conductor and an insulator, allowing electrical flow to be controlled.

Design Tokens

A shared, named value for design elements such as colors and font sizes.

Motion Capture

A technology that uses sensors or cameras to record the movement of people or objects and convert it into digital data.

Gradient

An effect where colors change gradually and blend naturally into one another.

Spec-Driven Development

A development approach where a specification written before implementation guides collaboration with an AI agent.

Subtitles

A feature that displays the spoken words from a video or audio track as text on the screen.

Impersonation

The fraudulent practice of using someone else's account or name without permission to pose as that person.

Build

The process of assembling program code and other development assets into working software.

Fact-Checking

Determining whether information circulating in society is accurate by examining objective facts and evidence.
