Open AI glossary

NAiOS Wiki

A plain-language dictionary of AI terminology — concepts, techniques, architectures and trends — explained clearly and kept up to date. 73 terms.

An educational, independent glossary. Some terms are implemented by NAiOS; others — such as risks or bad practices (prompt injection, deepfakes) — are included only to understand them, not as platform features.
