Introduction to generative AI
Generative AI refers to a field of AI (as stated in the preceding figure) that focuses on creating or generating new content, such as images, text, music, video, code, 3D objects, or synthetic data that is not directly copied or replicated from existing data. It involves training deep learning models to understand patterns and relationships within a given dataset and then using that knowledge to generate novel and unique content. The following is a visualization of what generative AI is:

It is a broad field whose primary function is to generate novel content. Examples of generative AI models include image generation models such as DALL-E and MidJourney, text generation models such as GPT-4, PaLM, and Claude, code generation models such as Codex, audio generation tools such as MusicLM, and video generation models such as SORA.
