Three Types of AI

In this video, Dr. Matthew Hudnall breaks down the three main types of artificial intelligence, explaining their distinct capabilities and potential impacts to help you better understand both the present and future of AI.


Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)

In this video, Dr. Matthew Hudnall introduces retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), a technique that combines AI’s ability to generate text with real-time information retrieval, addressing one of the biggest limitations of traditional models.


Multidimensional Encoding

In this video, Dr. Matthew Hudnall shares how AI understands complex relationships between words, images, and sounds through multidimensional encoding, a mathematical technique that enables AI to translate languages, recognize patterns, and generate content with remarkable human-like understanding.


Not All AI Are the Same

Dr. Matthew Hudnall explains how the blanket term “AI” makes up a diverse ecosystem of specialized systems, from Netflix recommendation engines to self-driving car sensors to creative content generators. Understanding these different types of AI helps you choose the right tool for each task and set realistic expectations for what each system can actually do.


Supervised vs. Unsupervised Learning

Dr. Matthew Hudnall explores how supervised and unsupervised learning differ, and why both are essential to understanding how AI solves problems and reveals hidden patterns.


Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF)

Dr. Matthew Hudnall explains how reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF) teaches AI models to align with human expectations, making them more accurate, polite, and useful while also highlighting its ethical challenges.


How Does Gen AI Work?

In this video, Dr. Matthew Hudnall demystifies generative AI, showing how it learns patterns from massive datasets to create original stories, images, music, and more, not through magic, but through powerful prediction at scale.


Guardrails

Dr. Matthew Hudnall explains why guardrails are essential to ensure safety, fairness, and ethical use as AI becomes more prominent and powerful.


The “Act As” Method

Mastering AI prompts can significantly improve the quality of chatbot responses, and the "ACT as" method provides a simple yet powerful approach to guiding AI effectively. Dr. Lawrence Cappello explains how specifying a role, giving clear instructions, providing examples, and encouraging questions can help educators and others use AI as a valuable tool.


Using AI to Facilitate Role Playing

Explore how AI can enhance learning by enabling students to engage in meaningful discussions with historical and literary figures. Watch this video as Dr. Lawrence Cappello shares how this approach fosters deeper understanding and critical thinking.
