Glossary

AI related Terms

• Machine Learning (ML): A subset of AI where algorithms learn from data to improve their performance without explicit programming.

• Deep Learning (DL): A type of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers to analyze complex patterns in data such as text, images, or audio.

• Natural Language Processing (NLP): A branch of AI focused on enabling machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

• Large Language Model (LLM): An advanced AI model capable of processing and generating human-like text, such as GPT-4.

• Reinforcement Learning: An AI training method where models learn by receiving rewards for correct actions and penalties for incorrect ones.

• Generative AI: AI systems that create new content such as text, images, or music based on learned patterns.

Web3 and Blockchain Terms

• Blockchain: A decentralized and secure digital ledger that records transactions across multiple systems.

• Non-Fungible Token (NFT): A unique digital asset stored on a blockchain, used in Skillful AI to represent AI agents or models that can be owned, traded, or rented.

• Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO): A blockchain-based organization governed collectively by its members using smart contracts.

• Smart Contract: Self-executing code that automatically enforces terms of an agreement on the blockchain.

• Encryption: A method of securing data by converting it into a code to prevent unauthorized access.

• Homomorphic Encryption: A cryptographic technique that enables computations on encrypted data without revealing the original data.

• Blind computation: A process where input data or variables are processed in absence of any direct human intervention. Computation is performed on private data by server without revealing anything about client’s input data. In case of Nillion, computation is done by nodes in the decentralised Nillion blockchain. They can’t access or recognise what they are computing hence building a chain of trust.

Skillful AI Ecosystem

• AI Agent: A digital assistant built with AI capabilities to perform specific tasks based on user-defined settings.

• AI Builder: A Skillful AI tool that allows users to create and customize AI agents with specific tasks, memory, and personality traits.

• Model Hub: A platform where users can test and compare AI models, such as GPT-4 or Claude, for various applications.

• Agent Hub: The interface where users interact with their AI agents, view histories, and manage agent settings.

• Traits and Identity: Customizable features that define the personality, tone, and communication style of an AI agent.

• Collaborative Mode: A feature in Skillful AI where multiple AI models interact to brainstorm, solve problems, or create content together.
