AI is everywhere these days, but keeping up with all the jargon can feel like learning a new language. This handy glossary breaks down 53 essential AI terms—from "algorithm" to "zero-shot learning"—so you can navigate conversations about ChatGPT and other AI tools without feeling lost. Whether you're a curious beginner or just need a quick refresher, this list is like a cheat sheet for the AI era.

Editor’s Note: Let's face it—AI isn't going away, and neither are the confusing terms that come with it. This glossary matters because it demystifies the buzzwords you'll keep hearing in news headlines, at work, or even in casual chats. Understanding these terms means you’ll be better equipped to engage with (or critique) the tech shaping our lives. Plus, nobody wants to nod along pretending they know what "hallucination" means in an AI context.
