Introduction to AI in Behavior Analysis
Artificial intelligence (AI) encompasses a broad range of technologies created by humans to perform tasks considered intelligent. In the context of behavior analysis, understanding AI is crucial as it splits into two categories: generative AI, which creates new content, and discriminative AI, which makes decisions based on existing data. Discriminative AI, particularly, is of interest for the field as it can streamline decision-making by identifying patterns and making predictions based on behavioral data. This capability could enhance clinical practices by allowing behavior analysts to make more informed decisions using data-driven insights.
