What is AI (Artificial Intelligence)?
AI refers to computer systems that can learn, write, create images and help make decisions in ways that resemble human thinking. Today’s chat tools (ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others) are built on this technology.
Key terms in plain English
- LLM (Large Language Model): an AI model trained on huge amounts of text so it can understand and write human-like language.
- Prompt: the instruction or question you give the AI. The clearer the prompt, the better the answer.
- Generative AI: AI that creates new content: text, images, video and audio.
- AI agent: AI that doesn’t just answer, but carries out multi-step tasks for you, such as drafting messages or setting up a search.
- Multimodal: AI that understands text along with images, voice and documents.
Where AI helps in digital marketing
- Content ideas and drafts: first drafts of blogs, captions, reel scripts and emails.
- SEO: keyword ideas, meta descriptions and content outlines.
- Advertising: creating many versions of one ad to test.
- Customer support: chatbots that answer common questions instantly.
- Analysis: summarizing data and reports.
- Translation: preparing the same content in multiple languages.
Rules for responsible use
- Always verify facts, figures and claims written by AI.

- Add your own voice and experience to the final content.
- Where appropriate, disclose that AI helped create the content.
