Many people think they understand what artificial intelligence is. In reality, many don’t. Here is a simple explanation.
Many people believe they understand AI because they see it talk, write, and answer questions. Follow me to the end, because there is a big confusion to clear up. It is about wrong words and decisions we delegate without noticing.
The first misleading word is “algorithm”. An algorithm is a set of clear rules. Traditional software works like this. It is predictable. The same input gives the same output. AI does not work this way, generative AI does not follow fixed rules. It makes predictions.
Another wrong word is “automation”. Automation defines decisions in advance. AI does not. When we say “we automate with AI”, we are actually delegating decisions. Decisions about language, priority, inclusion, exclusion.
