Students can join the fundamentals of the Generative AI Course by Microsoft. Check the details below!
Generative AI, short for Generative Artificial Intelligence, refers to a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on creating or generating new content, such as text, images, audio, or even video, similar to human-created content. Generative AI systems learn patterns from large datasets and generate new data that mimics the input data’s style, format, or characteristics.
One of the most notable advancements in generative AI is the development of generative models, particularly deep learning-based models. Some commonly used generative models include:
Generative AI has a wide range of applications, including:
Generative AI has made significant strides in recent years, leading to applications that were once considered science fiction. However, it also raises ethical concerns, particularly related to the generation of fake content and the potential for misuse. Researchers and developers are actively addressing these concerns while pushing the boundaries of what generative AI can achieve.
Generative AI and technologies that implement it like ChatGPT are increasingly in the public consciousness – even among people who don’t work in technology roles or have a background in computer science or machine learning. The futurist and novelist Arthur C. Clarke is quoted as observing that “any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic”. In the case of generative AI, there does indeed seem to be an almost miraculous ability to produce human-like original content, including poetry, prose, and even computer code.
However, there’s no wizardry involved in generative AI – just the application of mathematical techniques that have been incrementally discovered and refined over many years of research into statistics, data science, and machine learning. You can gain a high-level understanding of how the magic trick is done by learning the core concepts and principles explored in this module. As you learn more about the generative AI technologies we have today, you can help society imagine new possibilities for AI tomorrow.
