Generative artificial intelligence (AI)

Generative artificial intelligence (AI)

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) is a type of AI that creates new content, such as text, images, videos, and audio. It can also reuse what it knows to solve new problems. 

It works

• Generative AI uses large AI models, called foundation models, to learn from existing data and generate new data with similar characteristics 
• Foundation models can perform a variety of tasks, including summarization, classification, and Q&A 

• Generative AI can learn human language, programming languages, art, chemistry, and more 

Use cases

• Chatbots: Generative AI can be used to create chatbots 
• Media creation: Generative AI can be used to create images, videos, and music 
• Product development: Generative AI can be used to streamline the workflow of engineers and researchers 
• Decision-making: Generative AI can be used to improve decision-making in agricultural and natural resources production and management
