Generative AI

Simple

Computer software that can make new things like stories and pictures when you ask it to.

Standard

Generative AI is software that creates new text, images, or audio based on patterns it learned from many examples. You describe what you want in plain words, and it produces something new.

Detailed

Generative AI models are trained on large collections of text or images and learn statistical patterns that let them produce plausible new content in response to a prompt. They predict likely outputs rather than retrieving facts, which is why they can be fluent and confident yet factually wrong. Human review is important for anything that matters.
