The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used to refer to a wide range of technologies in which machines process and ‘learn’ from data in order to achieve particular tasks.
AI technologies have been with us for some time - predictive text, social media algorithms, content recommendation and translation tools, all use AI to some extent.
AI assisted tools are increasingly being incorporated into programmes like Word and Google Docs. Many, such as tools designed to help check your spelling and grammar, are fine to use in your work.
This guide specifically focuses on generative AI (GenAI) tools which can be used to generate text, images, and other outputs.
