Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a branch of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks that typically require human intelligence. AI is increasingly a part of our lives in ways we may not even notice. From personalized recommendations on streaming services and e-commerce platforms to virtual assistants, facial recognition technology, and self - driving cars, AI has transformed how we live, work, and interact with the world around us.

Generative AI (GenAI) is a subset of AI that focuses on creating new content, such as text, images, audio, and code. Perhaps the most well-known example of GenAI is ChatGPT, which is a type of large language model (LLM) chatbot. LLMs are trained on massive amounts of text data and can generate remarkably human-like text based on patterns in language found in the training data. While the output may seem human and intelligent, it works by computing the most likely outcome based on patterns in language, very much like how autocomplete works.
