What is Artificial Intelligence (AI)?
The ability of machines to perform tasks typically done by humans, such as reasoning, recognizing patterns, and solving problems.
How does machine learning relate to AI?
Machine learning teaches machines patterns and rules through large datasets so they can build models and make predictions in new situations.
What makes Generative AI different from traditional AI?
Generative AI uses deep learning to create new, original content (text, images, audio, video, code) rather than only following pre-defined rules.
What is NLP (Natural Language Processing) used for in Generative AI?
NLP enables computers to understand and generate human language, powering chatbots, content generators, and customer service automation.
Give three applications of NLP-based generative AI.
Writing ad copy, generating social media posts, recognizing patterns in research data.
How do image generation tools work?
They are trained on large datasets of images, learn patterns, and then generate new visuals based on text descriptions (text-to-image).
Name three image generation tools.
DALL·E, OpenArt.ai, Artbreeder.
What are some practical business uses of image generation?
Ad prototypes, social media visuals, slide illustrations, product mockups.
What can generative AI do with audio?
Generate music, create voiceovers, dub videos, produce audiobooks, and power conversational customer service bots.
Name three AI tools for audio generation.
WaveNet (Google), Jukebox (OpenAI), ElevenLabs.
How do AI video generation tools create content?
They use text prompts, stock footage, images, and avatars to produce videos without traditional cameras.
Name three AI video generation platforms.
InVideo.io, Veed.io, Synthesia.io.
What ethical issue arises with AI-generated video and audio likeness?
Deepfakes — manipulated media that misrepresents people doing or saying things they never did.
What are generative AI coding tools designed to do?
Assist with writing, completing, translating, and documenting code; debugging; and generating snippets for specific tasks.
Name three popular GenAI code tools.
OpenAI Codex, GitHub Copilot, AlphaCode.
How do AI coding tools impact non-programmers?
They allow people without coding experience to create applications using natural language prompts.
What is synthetic data in Generative AI?
Artificially generated datasets that mimic real data, used to augment training data and support analysis while avoiding high costs or privacy issues.
Name two tools for synthetic data generation.
Gretel.ai, Mostly.ai.
Why is synthetic data valuable?
It reduces cost and privacy concerns in data collection, enhances datasets for research/marketing, and trains AI models more effectively.
What is the broad value of Generative AI for businesses?
It enhances creativity, efficiency, and competitiveness across text, images, audio, video, code, and data.
