New York Times Publishes Guide to AI Terminology for 2025

The New York Times has published an explainer aimed at helping readers understand the technical language surrounding artificial intelligence in 2025, according to their Technology section.

The article, titled “Decoding the A.I.-Driven Tech Lingo From 2025,” positions itself as a “cheat sheet” for navigating AI terminology that has become increasingly prevalent in tech discussions. According to the NYT, the guide covers terms including RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and superintelligence, among others.

The publication’s decision to create this glossary reflects the growing need for accessible explanations of AI concepts as the technology becomes more widespread in mainstream discourse. By providing definitions for technical terms, the NYT aims to make AI-related news and developments more understandable to its general readership.

The timing of the guide suggests that 2025 has seen an acceleration in AI-specific vocabulary entering common usage, requiring media outlets to help bridge the gap between technical communities and the broader public.
