Generative AI is a type of AI that can create new things that look or sound like real things, but are not. For example, generative AI can make pictures of people or animals that do not exist, write stories or poems that no one has written before, or make music or sounds that no one has heard before.
Generative AI uses data from the real world to learn how to make these new things, but it also adds some randomness or variation to make them different and unique. Generative AI can be used for many purposes, such as art, education, business, or healthcare. Generative AI is very creative and innovative, but it also has some challenges and risks, such as data quality, ethics, and evaluation.
