Information Ethics

Definitions

As defined by the Encyclopedia of Computer Science "Machine learning is the study of methods for constructing and improving software systems by analyzing examples of their desired behavior rather than by directly programming them. Machine learning methods are appropriate in application settings where people are unable to provide precise specifications for desired program behavior, but where examples of this behavior are available"

Artificial Intelligence "refers to the branch of computer science that is focused on giving computers human intelligence." 

Generative AI "software that not only learns from vast amounts of data but also produces things – convincingly written documents, engaging conversation, photorealistic images and clones of celebrity voices."
