what is AI
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the field of computer
science dedicated to creating machines that can perform tasks requiring human intelligence
key areas of AI
Machine Learning, NLP, Computer Vision, Robotics, Expert Systems
what are the types of AI
*Narrow AI

What is Narrow AI
Designed for a single task
(e.g., Siri, facial recognition).
what is General AI
Hypothetical system with human-level intelligence.
what is Super AI
Theoretical AI surpassing human intelligence.
what is generative AI
A subfield of AI focused on creating original content and new data.
what is the core function of generative AI
Learns dataset patterns to generate new, similar data
examples of generative AI

Key Generative Techniques
what is Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs):
This technique uses a two-part system to create content.
The Generator creates the content, while the Discriminator
judges it, and they “compete” to improve the quality of the
output.
can create realistic, but fake, images of human faces that don’t belong to any real person.
GANs - Generative Adversarial Networks
what is Diffusion Models
These models work by taking an image and adding noise to it. They then learn to reverse this process, which allows them to create a high-quality image from random noise.
You can use this technique to generate a unique digital painting from a text prompt like, “a serene landscape with a river and mountains at sunset.”
diffusion model
what is Transformers
The backbone of modern Large Language Models (LLMs). They use an “attention” mechanism to weigh the importance of different words in a sentence, giving them a deep understanding of context.
this technique like GPT can write a summary of a long article, generate computer code, or compose a poem based on your request.

what is the AI life cycle
Data Gathering = Collecting clean datasets
Model Training = Computationally intensive learning phase
Inference/Generation = Producing outputs from prompts
Fine-tuning & Deployment = Task optimization and release
