Generative AI

What is Generative AI?

Generative AI refers to the subset of artificial intelligence focused on creating new content, ranging from text and images to music and code. It uses machine learning models to analyze and learn from vast datasets, then generates output similar but not identical to the input it was trained on. These models can understand patterns, styles, or structures within the data, allowing them to produce novel creations that maintain a semblance of the original data's essence.

Glossary

  • Machine Learning Model: An algorithmic framework that allows a computer to learn from data and make predictions or decisions without being explicitly programmed for the specific task.

  • Training Data: The dataset used to train a machine learning model includes examples the model learns from to generate new content.

  • Neural Network: A series of algorithms modeled loosely after the human brain, designed to recognize patterns and interpret sensory data through machine perception, labeling, and clustering raw input.

  • Deep Learning: A subset of machine learning involving neural networks with many layers, allowing the model to learn complex patterns through large amounts of data.

  • Natural Language Processing (NLP): A field of AI that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language, enabling computers to understand and generate human language.

  • Predictive Model: A model that predicts unknown future events based on known data.

  • Creativity Algorithms: Algorithms specifically aim to generate creative and novel outputs that may include originality, non-obviousness, and value.

  • Transfer Learning: A machine learning method where a model developed for one task is reused as the starting point for a model on a second task, which is particularly useful in Generative AI for adapting a pre-trained model to generate new kinds of content.
