What is Generative AI?
Generative AI refers to a type of artificial intelligence that can create new data samples from the same distribution as a given set of training data. It is often achieved through algorithms like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and other generative models. Generative AI can generate realistic and high-quality data such as images, text, and audio.
- Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): A standard method used in Generative AI, GANs consist of two neural networks – the Generator, which creates new data samples, and the Discriminator, which evaluates the generated data against real data. The two networks are trained together, improving each other in a game-theoretic manner until the generator produces realistic data.
- Applications: Generative AI has many applications, including creating realistic images, generating text, voice synthesis, creating artwork, data augmentation, and simulating real scenarios for training other machine learning models.
- Challenges: Despite its potential, Generative AI poses challenges, including requiring large training data, high computational resources, and ethical concerns associated with generating fake or misleading content.
- Advancements: Continuous advancements in Generative AI are pushing the boundaries of what's possible, enabling more realistic and diverse data generation, and expanding the scope of applications.
