The Basics

What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of computer systems to perform tasks typically associated with human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, perception, and language understanding. It uses complex algorithms to analyze data and make decisions.

What is Generative AI (GenAI)?

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that creates new content, such as text, images, or code. It uses algorithms and large datasets to learn patterns and generate original outputs. These tools can be used for various purposes, including brainstorming, writing, and design. However, it's important to use Generative AI responsibly and critically evaluate the generated content.
