Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
is the broad field of computer science focused on building systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence This includes reasoning, learning from data, understanding language, and solving complex problems
AI could be one of two things:
| Chatbots | Agents | |
|---|---|---|
| Defenition | AI chatbots are designed to talk and answer questions. | AI agents are designed to act and get a job done |
| Examples | A customer support bot that tells you the return policy or links you to the tracking page for your package | A digital assistant that checks your order status, identifies a shipping delay, contacts the carrier to reroute your package, and issues a refund |
The fundamental difference between AI chatbots and AI agents comes down to conversation versus action
chatbots are designed to talk, while AI agents are designed to execute workflows and achieve goals.
Additionally, GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) are essential for AI because they provide massive parallel processing power. While standard processors are designed for a few complex tasks at a time, GPUs have thousands of smaller cores that can perform millions of simultaneous calculations, making them ideal for the heavy linear algebra and matrix mathematics that form the backbone of modern AI
