**Narrow AI** ↪ AI systems designed to perform a specific task without the ability to generalize beyond that.

**Machine Learning (ML)** ↪ A technology that learns patterns from data to perform specific tasks. Powers narrow AI.

**Deep Learning (DL)** ↪ A fancy way of doing ML, typically applied to large, unstructured datasets.

**Generative AI (GenAI)** ↪ A type of DL that aims to generate new original content from existing data.

**Large language models (LLM)** ↪ A type of GenAI with the goal to generate text content.

**Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPT)** ↪ A type of LLMs built on the transformer architecture, trained on massive datasets.

**GPT-4** ↪ Currently the most powerful LLM on the market. Proprietary model by OpenAI.
