TechCrunch compiled a glossary explaining common artificial intelligence terms used in industry coverage. Definitions include artificial general intelligence (AGI), AI agents, chain-of-thought reasoning, compute, and deep learning. AGI refers to AI systems more capable than humans at most tasks. AI agents perform complex tasks autonomously. Chain-of-thought reasoning breaks problems into intermediate steps. Compute means computational power for model training. Deep learning uses neural networks inspired by human brains.
