Generative AI refers to artificial intelligence systems that can create new, original content including text, images, audio, video, and code by learning patterns from training data and generating novel outputs that resemble the training material.

Key capabilities include:

• Text Generation: Creating articles, stories, code, and conversational responses
• Image Generation: Producing original artwork, photos, and visual designs
• Audio Generation: Synthesizing music, speech, and sound effects
• Video Generation: Creating animated content and video sequences
• Code Generation: Writing software programs and scripts

Popular generative AI technologies include GPT models for text, DALL-E and Midjourney for images, and GitHub Copilot for code. These systems use techniques like transformer architectures, diffusion models, and variational autoencoders to generate content that is contextually relevant and often indistinguishable from human-created work.
