Artificial Intelligence Glossary (Part 1): 13 key vocabulary words and phrases to understand the new language of AI.
(Throttle the Creation) – (Regurgitate Training Data) – (Open Source AI) – (Biden’s Executive Order) – (Every Position is being redesigned leveraging AI) – (Sexting with AI) – (Fine Tuning) – (Anti-Woke AI) – (Artificial Intelligence Act) – (Guardrails and Pitfalls) – (Counterbalance) – (Biased AI) – (Going Off the Rails).
(Throttle the Creation)
Balancing innovation with responsibility, the need to throttle AI creation emphasizes the importance of ethical considerations and regulation to prevent misuse or unintended consequences.
(Regurgitate Training Data)
AI models can regurgitate information from their training data, irrespective of its accuracy, highlighting the importance of robust data curation and model validation.
(Open Source AI)
Open Source Artificial Intelligence refers to AI software with freely accessible source code, fostering collaboration and innovation. It operates under licenses like MIT or Apache, allowing modification and redistribution while imposing certain conditions. This openness enables diverse applications.
(Biden’s Executive Order)
The October 2023 Executive Order underscores the government’s role in shaping AI policy, emphasizing principles such as equity, transparency, and accountability.
(Every position is being redesigned leveraging AI)
With AI permeating industries, every role undergoes transformation. Whether it’s automating repetitive tasks or augmenting decision-making processes, AI’s impact is ubiquitous.
(Sexting with AI)
As AI becomes more sophisticated, concerns about its potential misuse, such as in sexting, raise ethical and legal considerations regarding privacy and consent.
(Fine-Tuning)
Fine-tuning AI models involves optimizing performance for specific tasks or datasets, illustrating the iterative nature of AI development and deployment.
(Anti-Woke AI)
Anti-woke AI is an attempt to achieve results without fine-tuning or censorship, operates with minimal filtering or constraint mechanisms. It aims to present information or viewpoints without the imposition of predetermined biases or ideological influences, allowing for a more unrestricted flow of content. This approach seeks to promote free expression and diverse perspectives, often in contrast to platforms or systems that implement strict content moderation or censorship measures.
(Artificial Intelligence Act)
The EU’s landmark law, enacted in March 2024, sets regulatory standards for AI, focusing on risk assessment, transparency, and human oversight to ensure ethical AI deployment.
(Guardrails and Pitfalls)
Implementing guardrails and identifying potential pitfalls are essential in AI development and deployment to mitigate risks and ensure responsible innovation.
(Counterbalance)
The need to counterbalance AI’s potential biases and unintended consequences underscores the importance of diversity, equity, and inclusion in AI research and development.
(Going off the Rails)
When AI systems deviate from expected behavior or encounter unforeseen circumstances, they can “go off the rails,” highlighting the challenges of AI robustness and safety.
(Biased AI)
Addressing bias in AI algorithms is paramount to ensure fairness and equity, requiring ongoing efforts in data collection, algorithm design, and model evaluation.
As AI continues to shape our world, understanding and navigating its terminology and concepts are vital for fostering responsible innovation and maximizing its societal benefits.

US Supreme Court Limits Foreign Application of US Trademark Law
Landmark 2023 Supreme Court Decision Narrowing Application of US Trademark Law to Foreign Parties. ABITRON AUSTRIA GMBH ET AL. v. HETRONIC INTERNATIONAL, INC
In June 2023, the US Supreme Court addressed the scope of two provisions of the Lanham Act, namely 15 U.S.C. §1114(1)(a) and §1125(a)(1), which prohibit trademark infringement. The dispute involved Hetronic, a U.S. company, and Abitron, a group of foreign parties, regarding the unauthorized use of Hetronic’s trademarks on products sold globally by Abitron. Hetronic filed a lawsuit against Abitron under the Lanham Act, seeking damages for trademark violations occurring worldwide. Abitron argued that this constituted an impermissible extraterritorial application of the Lanham Act.
The Supreme Court, applying the presumption against extraterritoriality, clarified that the Lanham Act provisions in question do not have extraterritorial reach. These provisions extend only to claims where the infringing use of trademarks in commerce occurs domestically within the United States. Therefore, the Court ruled that Hetronic’s claims under the Lanham Act were limited to instances of domestic infringing conduct, and it overturned the lower court’s decision that extended the Act’s reach to all of Abitron’s foreign infringing activities.
