A Glossary For Next-Generation AI

As business adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) expands rapidly, so does the vocabulary used to describe the technology and the myriad ways companies are putting it to work. While terms such as algorithm, machine learning and neural networks have become as familiar today as cloud, SaaS and IoT, dozens of new AI terms and trends are already entering the field or rising in importance. Here's a look at some of those--and why you should become familiar with each. A machine-learning training technique in which scientists intentionally expose algorithms to corrupted data to trick them into making faulty predictions or reach incorrect conclusions. The technique allows developers to uncover security vulnerabilities that could be exploited by hackers or to examine the results for hidden bias that could lead to flawed results.
