Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence is a concept used to describe how AI-mediated retrieval systems select, synthesize, and cite information.

🧠 Full Definition

Artificial Intelligence refers to a broad class of computational systems designed to perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, including learning, reasoning, perception, and decision-making. In the context of information retrieval, it encompasses systems such as AI Search, Answer Synthesis, Citation Surface, and Semantic Surface.

💡 Why It Matters

• It provides the foundational context for understanding how modern AI systems interpret, generate, and act on information.
• It helps predict which content is reused by AI systems.
• It provides language for understanding AI-mediated visibility.

⚙️ How It Works

• Artificial intelligence systems use models trained on data to recognize patterns, make predictions, and generate outputs across a wide range of tasks.
• Repeated reuse reinforces preferred phrasing and sources.
• Citation and paraphrasing stabilize retrieval behavior over time.

🗣️ In Speech

“Artificial Intelligence is one of those concepts that makes more sense once you see how the system actually behaves.”
