Artificial Intelligence, also known as AI, is "a machine’s ability to perform the cognitive functions we usually associate with human minds" (2023). This guide specifically talks about Generative AI, which is when an AI system generates text, images, and other forms of media as a response to a prompt. Generative AI is a powerful tool, and students can learn from this guide how to use it to benefit them during their academic journey, as well as knowing its limitations in academia, and how to avoid plagiarism.
Artificial intelligence makes it possible for machines to learn from experience, adjust to new inputs, and perform human-like tasks. Most AI examples that you hear about today – from chess-playing computers to self-driving cars – rely heavily on deep learning and natural language processing. Using these technologies, computers can be trained to accomplish specific tasks by processing large amounts of data and recognizing patterns in the data.
