Understanding Artificial Intelligence: How to Explain AI to Anyone

The stories in the news are inescapable and AI is dominating headlines. The people around you probably have questions. Bay Leaf Digital is here to help you with easy answers that anyone can understand.

What Is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the development of computer systems that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as:

• visual perception
• speech recognition
• decision-making
• language translation

In simple terms, it’s about creating machines that can think and learn like humans. The goal of AI is to create systems that can solve problems and complete tasks in a way that mimics human intelligence and decision-making processes. With AI, machines can perform tasks more quickly, accurately, and efficiently than humans, allowing us to tackle complex problems and achieve new levels of efficiency and productivity. From Siri on our smartphones to text generators that can write term papers and self-driving cars on the road, AI is becoming increasingly prevalent in our daily lives. Once confined to science fiction, artificial Intelligence (AI) is now reality. It’s a rapidly growing field that will revolutionize the way we live and work.

What Can Saas Companies Learn from Samsung’s ChatGPT mistake??

Shortly after Samsung lifted a company-wide ban on the use of ChatGPT, executives discovered that employees were sharing confidential information with the chatbot. Hoping to fix a faulty semiconductor, one employee copied and pasted source code into ChatGPT. Another did the same, looking for a fix to an equipment issue. In the most glaring misstep of all, someone posted the detailed transcript of a confidential meeting into the bot’s chat box, hoping to quickly and easily generate minutes.??

To understand why this is problematic, you first have to understand how ChatGPT works. We went to the source for the answer to that question. ?

Bay Leaf Digital: How does ChatGPT work??

Chat GPT: ChatGPT is a machine learning-based conversational AI model that uses a deep neural network called GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer) to generate responses to user inputs.?

The model is trained on a large dataset of text from the internet, such as books, articles, and websites, using unsupervised learning techniques. During training, the model is fed with chunks of text, and it learns to predict the next word in a sentence given the preceding context.?

After training, the model can generate text that resembles human language and can be used for a variety of natural language processing tasks, including question-answering, text completion, and dialogue generation.?

When a user inputs a question or a statement, ChatGPT processes the text, using its internal knowledge and memory, and generates a response based on the context and the input provided. The response is then delivered back to the user in a conversational format.?

ChatGPT's responses are generated based on statistical patterns learned from its training data, so it does not "understand" language in the same way humans do. However, it can often provide informative and helpful responses, thanks to its sophisticated language processing capabilities.?

----------------------------?

While ChatGPT says that it’s been designed “with security in mind,” experts believe that prompts are stored on ChatGPT’s servers, which means that Samsung’s proprietary data is now out there in the world, potentially available to a competitor who manages to engineer the right prompt to get ChatGPT to spit it out. It’s a good reminder to users that, while large language model text generators are convenient, they have a long way to go, security-wise. Think twice before adding anything to your prompt that you wouldn’t want to share with the world.?
