Digital Society - Media and Artificial Intelligence (Content)

automation

the increased use of technology in a process, which reduces the need for human involvement

transparency

the ability to explain AI's decision-making process easily

multiplicity

a future in which artificial intelligence and robots are developed to work alongside people, rather than to replace them.

cybernetics

the study of communication and control in both living things and machines, especially automatic control systems such as the human nervous system, and mechanical-electrical communication systems

natural language processing

uses machine learning to teach a computer to understand human language

pattern recognition

uses machine learning algoirthms to recognize patterns

neural networks

a computational model inspired by the human brain, consisting of interconnected nodes called neurons that process data and learn patterns to perform various tasks

deep learning

used for complex problems, it does not require structured data, but instead uses artificial neural networks.

reinforced learning

this machine learning is based on rewarding positive behavior; the algorithm rewards correct performance and penalyzes incorrect performance.

unsupervised learning

used to find underlying patterns in data, it uses data sets that do not have any labels but instead uses the data's features. Its goal is to analyze data to find hidden patterns that can't be noticed by a human observer.

supervised learning

the simplest form of machine learning, in which training data consists of a set of inputs, each paired with a set of correct outputs. During training, the algorithm looks for patterns in the data that correlate to the desired output.

inference engine

the part of an expert system that uses programmed rules to interpret and evaluate the facts in the knowledge base

knowledge base

facts and rules in an expert system

expert system

a computer system that acts like a human expert in a specific subject area

singularity

the hypothetical future where artificial intelligence becomes so advanced that it is superior to human intelligence

super AI

Artificial intelligence that surpasses human intelligence

domain-specific AI

Artificial intelligence that performs tasks better than humans in certain domains

weak/narrow AI

artificial intelligence that has a limited function or can perform a certain task

copyleft

when owners of original work allow others to use their legally rprotected work freelyt under specific conditions.

copyright

legal protection for the creators of literary and artistic works including books, misic, paintings, films andd copmputer programs, which may also be digital.

intellectual property

the outcome of thought or intellectual effort, for example a ndw invention or an original design. It also refers to the legal protection of that work.

disinformation

false or inaccurate information that is deliberately created and spread with the intent of influencing public opinion or obscuring the truth.

misinformation

false or inaccurate information that is mistakenly or inadvertently created or spread; the intent is not to deceive

mixed reality

blending the real world and the digital world to create new experiences.

augmented reality

digital content overlaid on to a real-world experience

virtual reality

a simulation that provides a completely immersive environment for the user.

fake news

misleading, untrue information presented as news

deepfake

synthetic media created with the use of deep learning / artificial intelligence

meme

an image, video, piece of text - typically humorous in ature - that is copied and spread rapidly by internet users, often with slight variations

hashtag

a word or phrase preceded by the symbol # to classify or categorize the accompanying text

trending

a topic that experiences a sudden surge in popularity on social media platforms for a limited period of time.

encoding

converting media into a computer-readable format

digital media

video, audio images and other content that is created, encoded and stored before sharing to the users.

media

any communication channel that serves as a medium to enable information to reach a large group of people
