Introduction to generative AI
Generative AI refers to a class of AI technologies that is capable of generating various forms of content, including but not limited to text, images, audio, and video. These AI systems can generate new content, based on their training data and input parameters, which usually include text prompts but can also involve other forms of input such as images. The recent buzz around generative AI comes from the simplicity with which new user interfaces powered by this AI technology can create high-quality text, graphics, and videos in seconds.
In very simple terms, generative AI is about making new data that looks like the data from which it has been trained. In other words, learning the underlying patterns, structures, and distributions of input data enables a procedure within the model allowing it to generate new data in a similar way. For instance, if trained on a dataset of human faces, a generative AI model will be able to create completely new faces of...
