What is Generative AI?

Generative AI, or gen AI, is a type of artificial intelligence that creates original content—text, images, video, audio, or software code—based on user prompts.

Generative AI uses advanced deep learning models, which mimic the human brain’s learning and decision-making processes. These models analyze and encode patterns in vast datasets, enabling them to understand natural language requests and generate relevant content.

AI has been significant for the past decade, but generative AI, especially with the launch of ChatGPT in 2022, has dramatically accelerated AI innovation and adoption. Generative AI offers significant productivity benefits for individuals and organizations. Despite challenges and risks, businesses are leveraging this technology to improve workflows and enrich products. McKinsey reports that one-third of organizations use generative AI in at least one business function. Gartner predicts over 80% of organizations will deploy generative AI applications or APIs by 2026.

How Generative AI Works

Training

A foundation model is trained on vast amounts of unstructured data. The model learns by predicting and adjusting to minimize errors, creating a neural network that generates content.

Tuning

Fine-tuning and reinforcement learning with human feedback (RLHF) improve the model's accuracy for specific tasks. Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) uses external sources to enhance the model further.

Generative AI Model Architectures

Generative AI models have evolved, with key architectures including:

Variational Autoencoders (VAEs): Useful for anomaly detection and natural language generation.
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs): Used for high-quality image and video generation.
Diffusion Models: Provide detailed control for high-quality image generation.
Transformers: Enable advanced natural language processing, forming the basis of modern generative AI tools.

Benefits of Generative AI for Businesses

Generative AI offers:

Increased Productivity: Automates content creation.
Cost Savings: Reduces manual labor and data labeling costs.
Innovation: Rapid development of new applications and services.
Improved Decision-Making: Provides predictive insights.
