1. COMPONENTS

A component is a building block of an AI system. Each component performs a specific task. When combined with other components, its leads to a fully functional AI system.

Consider an AI chatbot, which might use the following components:

1. User Input Component: This component receives what the user types into the chatbot. It is the first point of contact between the user and the system.
2. Language Model Component: This component processes the user’s input and generates an appropriate response. It uses NLP algorithms to understand the user’s input and formulate a response.
