If you work in the area of artificial intelligence (AI) and cognitive computing, you might use buzzwords and phrases that, to others, might be perceived as confusing jargon. This article attempts to explain what these terms mean, how they relate to one other, and where they all fit along the AI and cognitive time continuum. I include a glossary of my top 20 useful AI/cognitive terms and advice on getting started on your AI/cognitive journey.
