Understanding AI Terms: What are Prompts?
Thursday, August 24, 2023

Companies across industries are considering whether, and how, to utilize artificial intelligence (AI). Once developed, an AI can be utilized in a variety of different ways.

Prompts are a subset of input data that describe the instructions provided to the AI model (i.e., “please summarize the following 10 documents”) as opposed to other types of input data that the user intends the AI will leverage (i.e., the 10 documents the AI is being asked to summarize). Some AI providers – particularly those that provide natural language or large language models – define “prompts” in this way.
