Welcome to the Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) Resources Webpage!
What is Generative Artificial Intelligence? Generative AI (GenAI or GAI) is a general term for artificial intelligence (AI) that creates new content based on their training by neural networks. GenAI is a type of artificial intelligence model or tool that, given a prompt or query, can generate new and creative outputs in a variety of media, including text, images, video, audio, code, or other formats that mimic human creation with varying degrees of success. The most well-recognized GenAI tool today is ChatGPT, but there are now many others.
