Generative AI refers to a category of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating new content rather than just analyzing existing data. Unlike traditional AI models that primarily classify data or make predictions, generative AI models produce novel outputs such as images, text, music, and even complex designs. The underlying technology relies on machine learning techniques, particularly neural networks, to generate this content. The technology, it should be noted, is not brand-new. Generative AI was introduced in the 1960s in chatbots. But it was not until 2014, with the introduction of generative adversarial networks , or GANs -- a type of machine learning algorithm -- that generative AI could create convincingly authentic images, videos and audio of real people. Generative AI starts with a prompt that could be in the form of a text, an image, a video, a design, musical notes, or any input that the AI...
