TechCrunch launches AI glossary for clearer understanding

TechCrunch has created an AI glossary to clarify terms used in the artificial intelligence field. This glossary will be updated regularly to include new definitions as AI research evolves and new safety risks are identified. Key terms include "AI agent," which refers to tools that perform complex tasks autonomously, and "chain-of-thought reasoning," which breaks down problems into smaller steps for better accuracy. "Deep learning" describes advanced algorithms that learn from data without human input. "Large language models" (LLMs) are the foundation of popular AI assistants, processing language through billions of parameters. "Neural networks" are the structures that enable deep learning, while "weights" are numerical values that determine the importance of different data features during AI training.
