Faculty Webpage: Generative AI

Definition

"Generative AI refers to a category of artificial intelligence (AI) that focuses on creating or generating new data, content, or artifacts, often in a manner that is indistinguishable from human-generated output. Generative AI models are designed to learn patterns and structures from existing data and then use that knowledge to produce new, similar data. These models are particularly prevalent in natural language processing (NLP) and computer vision but can also be applied to various other domains."
