Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can generate new, realistic artifacts at scale, reflecting the characteristics of the training data but not repeating it. It can produce a variety of novel content such as images, video, music, speech, text, software code, and product designs. Generative AI uses a number of techniques, including deep learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. Some of the most popular applications of generative AI include image and video generation, language and text generation, music composition, and product design. For example, generative AI can be used to create realistic images of people or objects, generate articles or social media posts, compose music, or design new products. Additionally, generative AI is also being used in fields such as drug discovery and materials science to generate new compounds and materials.
