HOUSEKEEPING

Glossary/Legend:

• LLM stands for Large Language Model - a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that is trained on massive amounts of text data to understand, generate, and manipulate human language. LLMs can perform various tasks like answering questions, translating languages, summarizing text, and generating different kinds of creative content.

• LLM hallucination - a large language model (LLM) generating text that is factually incorrect, nonsensical, or inconsistent with the input prompt, even though the output may appear plausible. Essentially, the model creates information that isn't grounded in reality or its training data.

• Cyberattack - A malicious attempt to gain unauthorized access to a computer system, network, or device. The goal of a cyberattack is to disrupt or damage the target, or to steal data, intellectual property, or money.

• Malware (short for malicious software) - refers to any intrusive software developed by cybercriminals (often called hackers) to steal data and damage or destroy computers and computer systems.

• Ransomware - A type of malware that locks or encrypts a victim's files and demands a ransom payment to unlock and decrypt them. Ransomware can infect a variety of devices, including computers, smartphones, printers, and more.
