Understand every AI term,
from agent to zero-shot!

The most important terms around artificial intelligence, explained simply.

A/B Testing

Method for comparing two variants (e.g. of a model or a user interface) to determine the better option based on data.

Access Control

Security mechanisms for controlling which users or systems may access specific resources, data, or AI functions.

Agentic AI

AI systems that act autonomously, pursue goals, and can independently plan and execute subtasks.

Agentic Workflow

A hybrid process combining a deterministic backbone with individual AI steps and branching. The sweet spot between a rigid workflow and a fully autonomous agent.

Agile Development

Iterative approach to software development in which projects are delivered in short cycles (sprints) and continuously improved.

AI Agent

An autonomous AI system that independently carries out tasks, makes decisions, and interacts with external tools and APIs.

AI Alignment

Field of research that ensures AI systems act in accordance with human values and goals.

AI Ethics

Moral principles and guidelines for the responsible use of artificial intelligence in business and society.

AI Governance

Policies, processes, and structures for the responsible management and control of AI systems within organizations.

AI Literacy

The ability of employees to understand, evaluate, and meaningfully apply AI technologies in their daily work.

AI Operating System

A central platform that brings together AI agents, workflows, and integrations and serves as an intelligent operating system for organizations.

AI Readiness

An organization's level of maturity in terms of data quality, infrastructure, and culture for the successful use of AI.

AI Strategy

Long-term plan for the systematic use of AI within an organization, including objectives, resource planning, and an implementation roadmap.

Anomaly Detection

AI-powered method for automatically identifying unusual patterns in data, e.g. for fraud detection or quality control.

API

Application Programming Interface. An interface through which software systems communicate with one another and exchange data.

API Gateway

Central access point that manages and authenticates API requests and routes them to the correct backend services.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Umbrella term for technologies that replicate human-like cognitive abilities such as learning, reasoning, and problem-solving.

Attention Mechanism

Core component of modern transformer models that enables a model to selectively weight the relevant parts of an input.

Authentication

Process for verifying the identity of users or systems, e.g. through passwords, tokens, or biometric data.

Automation

The use of technology to perform tasks without manual intervention, often with the help of software robots or AI agents.
