What is generative AI?

Generative AI is a type of AI that can create new content, such as text, images, or even music, by learning from existing examples. It’s like teaching a computer to understand patterns and styles from a huge amount of data, and then using that knowledge to produce something new and original, much like how a human might create a story or a painting based on their experiences and imagination. For instance, it can write articles, generate realistic pictures, or even help develop software code by predicting what comes next based on what it has learned.

Here are some key things to know about generative AI:

• Generation versus analysis: Generative AI can create brand new artifacts such as text, code, images, video, and so on, rather than just classify or extract insights from existing artifacts. For example, synthetic data generation is a brand-new generation of new artifacts.
• Self-learning: Many generative AI systems train themselves on large datasets...
