What is Context in AI?
The surrounding information and situational awareness that AI systems use to understand and respond appropriately.
Definition
Context in AI refers to the surrounding information, situational awareness, and background knowledge that artificial intelligence systems use to understand queries, make appropriate decisions, and provide relevant responses.
Purpose
Context enables AI systems to provide more accurate, relevant, and helpful responses by understanding not just what is being asked, but the circumstances, history, and environment in which the query is made.
Function
AI context works by maintaining awareness of previous conversation history, user preferences, current situation, and relevant background information to inform responses and decision-making processes.
Example
When you ask an AI assistant "What should I wear today?", context includes your location (for weather), your calendar (for events), your style preferences, and the current season to provide appropriate clothing suggestions.
