Generative AI

Generative AI#

Generative AI is artificial intelligence capable of generating text, images and other types of content .

What makes it a fantastic technology is that it democratizes AI, anyone can use it with as little as a text prompt. A sentence written in a natural language.

There’s no need for you to learn a language like Java or SQL to accomplish something worthwhile, all you need is to use your language, state what you want and out comes a suggestion from an AI model.

The applications and impact for this is huge, you write or understand reports, write applications and much more, all in seconds.

What led to rapid evolution of generative AI ?#

👉 Advances in computing power, including the development of GPUs (Graphics Processing Units) and specialized hardware like TPUs (Tensor Processing Units), have enabled the training of large-scale generative models more efficiently.

👉 The proliferation of the internet and digital data has provided vast amounts of training data for AI systems. This allows generative models to learn and produce more accurate outputs.

👉 Continuous improvements in generative AI algorithms and training techniques have played a significant role. Techniques such as attention mechanisms, self-attention, and reinforcement learning have contributed to the effectiveness of generative models.

Advances in natural language processing research have been crucial for text generation tasks.
