What is AI?
Artificial intelligence is an umbrella term, not one technology. What most people meet today is a language model that predicts plausible text, which turns out to be enough to draft, summarize, translate and sort.
What matters here
- Learns patterns from large amounts of data
- Produces a best guess, not a guaranteed fact
- Works well on language, images and classification
- Can be confidently wrong, so verification matters
- Runs on someone else's computers in most products
What it actually does
A language model takes text and continues it in a way that matches its training. That simple mechanism covers summarizing a meeting, rewriting a sentence, extracting a date from a sentence and answering a question about a document you supplied.
Where it fails
It has no memory of facts it was not trained on and no way to check itself. It will produce a fluent answer to a question it cannot answer. Any workflow that matters needs a source of truth outside the model.
Why the data path matters
Most AI features send your text to a provider. Whether that provider stores it, trains on it or deletes it is a policy question, not a technical one, and it is worth reading before you paste anything sensitive.
