4 min read At the dawn of humanity, we gathered around campfires in small groups, sharing knowledge through stories. Their wisdom was forged from experience. Today, five billion people gather around the internet, producing and sharing more information than could be parsed in multiple lifetimes. Instead of readily finding trustworthy insights, we face a flood of … [Read more...] about Trusted knowledge at your fingertips: generative AI powered search across our Publications Catalog
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence (AI) is an umbrella concept that encompasses any technology that enables computers to mimic human abilities. Areas such as robotics, natural language processing, machine learning, and deep learning are part of AI. All these areas seek, in their own way, to automate activities that humans do naturally and intuitively.
This tag brings together all the articles that have been written in Abierto al Público on artificial intelligence, including basic concepts, opening strategies that facilitate the development of new technologies, tools, resources and other relevant information.

How does AI work? Consider the Iceberg Model
When it comes to thinking about how artificial intelligence works, at some level, all AI projects are primarily data projects. In order to help think about projects from this perspective, we’ve developed a model which breaks down the essential AI aspect of any project into three main phases: 1) Prepare the relevant data, 2) Train the algorithm(s) and 3) Test the trained … [Read more...] about How does AI work?
