What is Generative AI It is a type of artificial intelligence systems which learn patterns and structure of data and adapt to new situations quickly. These algorithms and technologies have the ability to generate new content, including audio, code, images, text, simulations, and videos which may never exists in real life. For instance – ChatGPT, DALL-E etc. An image of pink donkey or blue Tajmahal can be generated using such technologies This type of AI can be used in various industries for instance- Art and Literature Finance and Banking Coding and Development of software Health and education sectors Marketing of products Gaming industry etc.
