Generative AI
AI systems that can create brand new content, such as text, images, audio, or video, based on user instructions.
In Plain English
Generative AI is like a digital artist or writer that can create new things on demand. Unlike older AI that just sorted or analyzed data, this technology actually generates fresh material that did not exist before. It learns the rules of art or language from millions of examples, then uses those rules to make something new. You can use it to generate a custom bedtime story for your child.
Real-World Example
Asking an AI to draw a picture of a cat riding a skateboard on Mars, and it creates a unique image in seconds.
