It is interesting to observe how widespread confusion surrounds the perception of what AI is—or what it is not. Many processes that elude our understanding are often labeled as artificial intelligence, and at times, any action involving an algorithm (another greatly misunderstood concept of our time) is mistakenly considered AI. Even more misleading is the frequent tendency to equate AI solely with ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence system, while in reality, this represents only a subset of the vast AI landscape. This confusion is somewhat understandable, at least in part: as previously noted, the very definition of AI has evolved multiple times over the years. However, given the relevance of this topic in today’s society, it is important to establish some clarity.

摘要

It is interesting to observe how widespread confusion surrounds the perception of what AI is—or what it is not. Many processes that elude our understanding are often labeled as artificial intelligence, and at times, any action involving an algorithm (another greatly misunderstood concept of our time) is mistakenly considered AI. Even more misleading is the frequent tendency to equate AI solely with ChatGPT, a generative artificial intelligence system, while in reality, this represents only a subset of the vast AI landscape. This confusion is somewhat understandable, at least in part: as previously noted, the very definition of AI has evolved multiple times over the years. However, given the relevance of this topic in today’s society, it is important to establish some clarity.
