ACRONYM |
DEFINITION |
AI |
Artificial Intelligence (kind of a poorly-named technology,
since even though
it has smarts—and despite what some of the popular AI tool makers would want us to believe—it does not actually possess intelligence,
which makes its name rather misguiding.
The long and the short of it is this: AI and AI tools, while smart, can neither think nor reason.) |
