Frequently asked questions<\/a>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <h2 id=\"what-is-generative-ai\">What is generative AI?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p>Generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) is a type of AI that creates new content, such as text, images, audio, video, and code, by learning patterns from existing data. If you are wondering what Gen AI is, it is technology that generates outputs in response to prompts or other inputs rather than only classifying information or making predictions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>The key feature of generative AI is its ability to generate new outputs based on patterns learned during training. Results depend on the model, training data, and the task it is designed to perform. These outputs can be useful starting points, but they are not necessarily accurate, original in every legal sense, or ready to use without review.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h2 id=\"how-does-generative-ai-work\">How does generative AI work?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p>Generative AI systems use models, often built with neural networks and deep learning, to learn patterns and relationships in training data. Depending on the model and training approach, this data may be labeled or unlabeled.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>The process generally involves three stages:<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <ol class=\"mc-num-list\">\r\n        <li><strong>Training the model:<\/strong> The model learns patterns from training data. Different approaches use different learning objectives, such as predicting missing information or learning relationships between inputs and outputs.<\/li>\r\n        <li><strong>Processing the input:<\/strong> When you provide a prompt or other input, the model processes it using the patterns and representations learned during training.<\/li>\r\n        <li><strong>Generating content:<\/strong> The model produces an output, such as a written response, image, audio clip, or code snippet.<\/li>\r\n    <\/ol>\r\n\r\n    <p>For example, when you ask a large language model to draft a professional email, it uses your instructions and the context provided to generate text suited to the requested purpose and tone.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"mc-insight-box\">\r\n        <h4>\ud83d\udca1 Pro tip<\/h4>\r\n        <p>Include the task, relevant context, intended audience, desired format, and any constraints in your prompt. Review the result against your requirements rather than assuming that a detailed prompt guarantees an accurate answer.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <h2 id=\"what-is-the-difference-between-ai-and-generative-ai\">What is the difference between AI and generative AI?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p>Artificial intelligence (AI) is a broad field of technology that enables machines to perform tasks such as recognizing patterns, analyzing information, making predictions, and supporting decisions. Generative AI is a subset of AI focused on producing new content.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"mc-table-container\">\r\n        <table class=\"mc-table\">\r\n            <thead>\r\n                <tr>\r\n                    <th>Aspect<\/th>\r\n                    <th>Traditional AI<\/th>\r\n                    <th>Generative AI<\/th>\r\n                <\/tr>\r\n            <\/thead>\r\n            <tbody>\r\n                <tr>\r\n                    <td><strong>Primary purpose<\/strong><\/td>\r\n                    <td>Classify information, predict outcomes, or recommend actions<\/td>\r\n                    <td>Generate new content based on learned patterns<\/td>\r\n                <\/tr>\r\n                <tr>\r\n                    <td><strong>Output<\/strong><\/td>\r\n                    <td>Predictions, classifications, or recommendations<\/td>\r\n                    <td>Text, images, audio, video, or code<\/td>\r\n                <\/tr>\r\n                <tr>\r\n                    <td><strong>Example<\/strong><\/td>\r\n                    <td>An email filter that identifies spam<\/td>\r\n                    <td>A tool that creates an image from a text prompt<\/td>\r\n                <\/tr>\r\n                <tr>\r\n                    <td><strong>Common applications<\/strong><\/td>\r\n                    <td>Fraud detection, forecasting, and recommendation systems<\/td>\r\n                    <td>Content creation, image generation, and code assistance<\/td>\r\n                <\/tr>\r\n            <\/tbody>\r\n        <\/table>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <p><em>Note: This is a simplified comparison. AI systems can combine predictive and generative capabilities, and generative AI tools can also analyze information.<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h2 id=\"what-are-foundation-models-and-large-language-models\">What are foundation models and large language models?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p>Foundation models are AI models trained on broad datasets that can be adapted to support different tasks. Developers may adapt them through techniques such as fine-tuning or instruction tuning. Some training processes also use human feedback to improve how a model responds to instructions.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>Large language models (LLMs) are models designed to process and generate human language. Many are foundation models and power conversational AI tools that answer questions, summarize documents, assist with coding, and translate text.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>Image-generation models are designed for visual outputs and may use different architectures, including diffusion models. Unlike an LLM that generates language, an image-generation model creates visual content from a prompt or other input.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <p>Another technique used with language models is retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). RAG retrieves relevant information from an external source, such as a document collection, and supplies it as context when the model generates a response. This can help ground answers in relevant information, but it does not guarantee accuracy. The retrieved material and the generated answer still need to be checked.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"mc-insight-box\">\r\n        <h4>\ud83d\udca1 Pro tip<\/h4>\r\n        <p>Choose a model based on the task you need to complete. For example, use a language model to summarize a report, an image-generation model to create a visual concept, or a RAG-based system to answer questions using a specific set of documents.<\/p>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <h2 id=\"what-can-generative-ai-create\">What can generative AI create?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p>Generative AI can produce different types of content depending on the model and input:<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <ul class=\"mc-list\">\r\n        <li><span><strong>Text:<\/strong> Emails, summaries, blog posts, and reports.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Images:<\/strong> Illustrations, concept art, and design ideas.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Audio:<\/strong> Voiceovers, music, and sound effects.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Video:<\/strong> Short clips, animations, and video edits.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Code:<\/strong> Scripts, functions, and application prototypes.<\/span><\/li>\r\n    <\/ul>\r\n\r\n    <p>These outputs can support creative work, communication, and software development. Their quality depends on the model's capabilities, the input provided, and how well the output is evaluated and refined.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h2 id=\"what-are-the-different-types-of-generative-ai-models\">What are the different types of generative AI models?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p>Generative AI models use different methods to learn patterns and generate content. Some categories describe how a model generates outputs, while others describe its architecture, so they are not always mutually exclusive.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h3>Generative adversarial networks (GANs)<\/h3>\r\n    <p>GANs use two neural networks that compete during training. One generates synthetic content, while the other learns to distinguish generated examples from real data. This process can help the generator produce realistic outputs.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h3>Variational autoencoders (VAEs)<\/h3>\r\n    <p>VAEs learn compressed representations of data and use them to generate new samples. They can support image generation, data augmentation, and synthetic data creation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h3>Diffusion models<\/h3>\r\n    <p>Diffusion models learn to generate content by reversing a process that adds noise to data. Many image-generation systems use this approach, gradually turning a noisy representation into an image guided by a prompt.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h3>Autoregressive models<\/h3>\r\n    <p>Autoregressive models generate a sequence one element at a time, using previously generated elements to predict what comes next. Many language models use this approach to generate text and code.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h3>Transformer-based models<\/h3>\r\n    <p>Transformers use attention mechanisms to identify relationships between elements in input data. They underpin many large language models and are also used in other AI applications. Transformer-based models can overlap with autoregressive models because one describes the architecture and the other describes a generation approach.<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <h2 id=\"what-are-the-common-applications-of-generative-ai\">What are the common applications of generative AI?<\/h2>\r\n\r\n    <p>Generative AI tools support content creation, problem-solving, and repetitive tasks across industries. Common applications include:<\/p>\r\n\r\n    <ul class=\"mc-list\">\r\n        <li><span><strong>Content creation:<\/strong> Draft blogs, marketing copy, product descriptions, and social media posts.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Image and video generation:<\/strong> Create visual concepts, illustrations, and video assets from prompts.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Software development:<\/strong> Assist with code generation, debugging, and documentation.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Customer support:<\/strong> Help virtual assistants draft responses, summarize requests, and retrieve relevant information.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Education:<\/strong> Generate practice questions, explain difficult concepts, and support personalized learning materials.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Healthcare research:<\/strong> Support activities such as drug discovery research and synthetic data generation, subject to appropriate validation and safeguards.<\/span><\/li>\r\n        <li><span><strong>Business processes:<\/strong> Summarize reports, extract information from documents, and assist with repetitive workflows.<\/span><\/li>\r\n    <\/ul>\r\n\r\n    <p>These applications show how generative AI is being integrated into everyday workflows to improve efficiency and support creative and analytical tasks.
