Accessible

Made so that everybody can use it, including people who cannot see, hear or move the way most people do.

Alzheimer’s disease

An illness that slowly damages the brain, usually in older people, so that remembering and thinking get harder. AI can help doctors spot it earlier.

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

A type of intelligence created by humans that helps computers learn, think and solve problems — like a very fast, very hardworking digital brain.

Autocorrect

The thing on a phone or computer that changes what you typed into what it thinks you meant. That is an AI guessing — and it guesses wrong often enough to be funny.

Bias

When AI treats some people unfairly — because of things like their gender, their skin colour, where they come from, their religion or a disability. Usually it is because the examples it learned from were unfair too. The computer never notices; only a human can.

Binary

The computer’s own alphabet, made of just two signs: 0 and 1. Every photo, song and message is stored as a very long line of them.

Bot

A small program that does one job over and over on its own — answering messages, posting, checking a page. Short for "robot", but there is nothing to touch.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂)

A gas that goes into the air whenever we burn fuel — in cars, planes, power stations. Too much of it warms the whole planet up.

ChatGPT

A famous AI chatbot that can answer questions, write stories and hold conversations by predicting the best next words to say.

Creativity

Making something that was not there before — a story, a tune, a way out of a problem. AI can rearrange what it has seen; deciding what is worth making is yours.

Curiosity

Wanting to know how something works, and asking until you do. It is the one thing every good scientist, engineer and artist has in common.

CV

The sheet of paper grown-ups send when they want a job: what they have studied, what they have done, what they are good at.

Cyber attack

When someone tries to break into computers to steal, damage or block what is on them. AI can spot the attempt early, often in seconds.

Data

All the information an AI learns from: photos, words, numbers, sounds. Good data makes a good AI; messy data makes a messy one.

Deepfake

A fake video, photo or voice recording made by AI that looks or sounds real, but isn't. Always double-check!

Deforestation

Cutting down a forest faster than it can grow back. Satellites and AI can see it happening from space, almost as it happens.

Diagnosis

Working out which illness someone actually has. A machine can spot something odd in a picture; naming the illness and deciding what to do is a doctor’s job.

Disability

Something about a person’s body or mind that makes parts of the world harder to use — not being able to see a screen, hear a voice, or climb stairs. Good design fixes the world, not the person.

Eco-friendly

Kind to the planet: using less energy, making less rubbish, doing less harm to animals, plants and air.

European Union

A group of 27 countries in Europe that make some rules together, so the same law applies in all of them. The AI Act is one of those rules.

Fake News

False information made to look true, sometimes written or spread by AI. That's why checking your sources matters!

Flu outbreak

When a lot of people in the same place catch flu at the same time. Spotting one early gives hospitals time to get ready.

Gene

A tiny instruction inside your body that helps decide things like your eye colour. You have about 20,000 of them, half from each parent.

Green AI

Building and running AI so that it uses as little energy as possible: smaller models, cleaner electricity, and machines that are not left running for nothing.

Hallucination

When AI makes something up and says it as if it were true. It is not lying on purpose — it is guessing the next words. Check anything that matters.

Hardware

The parts of a computer you can actually touch: the screen, the keyboard, the chips inside.

Humanities

Subjects like history, ethics and philosophy that help us understand people, society and right from wrong — skills AI still can't fully replace.

Innovate

To make something that did not exist before, or find a much better way of doing something. Inventing, improving, trying the idea nobody has tried yet.

Machine Learning

The way AI learns. Nobody writes the rules down: the computer looks at thousands of examples and works the rules out for itself.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)

A medical scan that takes pictures inside your body. AI helps doctors read MRIs faster and spot diseases earlier.

Malaria

A serious illness carried by mosquito bites. It still kills hundreds of thousands of people a year, most of them children, and most of them in Africa.

Manipulate

To push somebody into doing something without them noticing they are being pushed. That is why a computer is not allowed to do it to children.

Model

What an AI has become after training — the part that does the answering, spotting or predicting. Like a recipe someone has learnt by heart.

Monitor

To keep watching something so you notice the moment it changes. A machine that monitors a patient checks their heartbeat and breathing all night without getting tired.

Over-Reliance

Depending on AI so much that you stop thinking for yourself. Always use your own brain too!

Parameters

The little dials inside an AI that it adjusts while it learns. A big AI has billions of them, each nudged a tiny bit until the answers come out right.

Pattern

Something that keeps coming back: the same shape, the same word, the same colour. Finding patterns is the thing AI is best at.

Personalised

Made to fit one person. A personalised lesson goes slower where you find it hard and faster where you don’t.

Power grid

The web of cables that carries electricity from where it is made to every house, school and hospital. A "smart" grid uses AI to send power where it is needed.

Privacy

Your right to keep personal information — like your name, address or photos — safe and only shared with people you trust.

Professionals

People who are trained to do a particular job and are paid for it — a doctor, a pilot, a teacher, an engineer.

Protein

A tiny machine inside every living thing. Proteins build your muscles, carry oxygen and fight germs. AI can now guess their shape, which helps make new medicines.

Repetitive

The same thing over and over again. People get bored and start making mistakes; a computer does not mind at all.

Scan

A picture of the inside of a body, taken by a machine instead of a camera — an x-ray, an MRI, an ultrasound.

Software

The programmes that tell the hardware what to do. You cannot touch software — it is instructions, written as code.

Solar panel

A flat panel that turns sunlight into electricity. AI helps work out where to put them and when to tilt them at the sun.

Surveillance

Watching people to see what they do — with cameras, phones or computers. Watching in secret, without asking, is the kind the law now forbids.

UI/UX design

Designing how an app or website looks and how it feels to use — where the buttons go, what happens when you tap one, and whether the whole thing makes sense.
