THE ABCs

of Artificial Intelligence

What is Generative AI?

Generative AI, or GenAI, refers to algorithms that create content such as text, images, audio, or molecular structures. They learn from large amounts of data and generate new content based on user instructions.

How is the data managed?

AI processes data by learning patterns from large datasets and predicting words based on probability. It can generate useful content but may reflect biases and risks to privacy, so ethical use is key.

Can it make mistakes?

Generative AI doesn’t always get things right—it predicts words based on probability, not facts. This means it can produce answers that sound correct but are actually inaccurate or made up.

How can AI help me?

Generative AI can help you study faster by summarizing texts, explaining concepts, and organizing your tasks. It also supports writing, brainstorming, and creating presentations or code.
