9. Introduction to Generative AI
Generative AI is a rapidly developing area of artificial intelligence that enables machines to create new content such as text, images, and music, similar to human creativity. It operates using advanced models like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and transformers, showcasing significant applications across various sectors. While offering creativity boosts and time-saving benefits, generative AI also presents risks, including potential misuse, bias, and the need for ethical considerations in its use.

Key Concepts
- -- Generative AI
- A branch of AI focused on creating new data or content that is similar to what it has already learned.
- -- Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs)
- A deep learning framework involving two neural networks—a generator that creates content and a discriminator that evaluates its authenticity.
- -- Transformers
- Advanced neural networks used in natural language processing, capable of generating human-like text.
- -- Ethical AI Use
