AI Fundamentals & AI for Proposals
Prompt
The natural-language instruction a person enters into an AI system to produce a response.
Related terms
Prompt Injection
A security risk in which hidden or malicious text embedded in a document or webpage tricks an AI system into ignoring its real instructions and following the attacker's instead.
Responsible AI
The practice of designing, deploying, and using AI in ways that are fair, transparent, secure, and accountable to the people affected by it.
Retrieval-Augmented Generation
A technique where an AI model first retrieves relevant information from a specific set of documents before generating an answer, instead of relying only on what it was originally trained on.
Shot / Few-Shot Learning
The number of examples given to a model within a prompt to guide its response; "few-shot" means the model is shown only a handful of examples before producing new output.
Temperature
A setting on a language model that controls the randomness of its output; a higher temperature produces more varied, less predictable responses, and a lower one produces more consistent, focused ones.
Token
An individual unit of text, such as a word or piece of punctuation, that an AI language model processes; tokenization is the act of breaking text into these units.
Training Data
The body of data used to train an AI model, shaping what patterns and language it learns to reproduce.
