Generative AI for Business Leaders with Tomer Cohen 1 of 3
Course Glossary
Algorithm: A sequence of computational instructions that enables a computer to perform a task
such as object recognition or predictive analytics
Artificial Intelligence (AI): A field of computer science that studies how to create machines that
can replicate cognitive tasks such as problem-solving, reasoning, perception, and language
understanding
Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): Artificial intelligence that is capable of solving a wide
range of problems, much as humans can, rather than excelling at one specific task
ChatGPT: A conversational AI model based on GPT, which can be used to create chatbots or
interact with users in natural language
Classification: The categorization of various forms of AI based on features such as the type of data
they process, the tasks they can perform, and the specific techniques or algorithms they employ
Computing Power: The amount of processing power available to a computer system, which can
impact the speed and accuracy of AI algorithms
Deep Learning: A type of machine learning that uses multilayered neural networks to extract
high-level patterns from data
Diffusion Model: A model that is used to learn the latent structure of a data set by modeling the
way data points diffuse through a latent space. This technique can be applied to various tasks
such as image generation, denoising, and super-resolution.
Fine-Tuning: The process of making small changes to an AI algorithm to improve its performance
GPT: The Generative Pretrained Transformer model, which is a deep learning language model
used for natural language processing (NLP) tasks
Large Language Models (LLM): A subset of AI that allows machines to understand and process
large quantities of text
Machine Learning: A subset of AI that enables computers to discover patterns in data in order to
make predictions or decisions on their own
Responsible AI: Ensuring that AI applications are designed in a way that minimizes bias, preserves
privacy, and meets regulatory requirements
Synthetic Data: Artificially generated data that can be substituted for real-time data to train
AI algorithms
Transformers: A type of neural network that uses self-attention mechanisms to process large
sequences of data

Training Data: A set of data that is used to help “train” an AI algorithm so that it can learn to
improve its performance
Workflow Automation: The use of software technologies to automate recurring tasks within a
business process
