Generative AI

Fundamentals

AI that creates new content - text, images, music, video, or code - instead of just analyzing existing data.

Earlier AI mostly recognized and classified things: is this email spam, whose face is this. Generative AI goes further and produces things: essays, illustrations, songs, working code, and video clips.Tools like ChatGPT, Midjourney, and ElevenLabs are all generative AI. The content is new, but it is assembled from patterns the model absorbed during training - which raises fresh questions about originality, copyright, and trust.
