Generative Artificial Intelligence or Generative AI is a type of AI system capable of generating text, images, and other media in response to natural language prompts[1][2]. Generative AI systems use generative models to statistically sample new data based on a training data set. A notable type of generative AI is the large language model, which is a type of neural network trained using self-supervised learning to predict the next word in a sequence. Notable large language models include GPT-3 and GPT-4 created by OpenAI[3]. Other generative AI models include Artificial Intelligence art systems such as Stable Diffusion and DALL-E[4].

Generative AI has potential applications across a wide range of industries, including software development, marketing, and fashion[5][6]. Investment in generative AI surged during the early 2020s, with large companies such as Microsoft, Google, and Baidu as well as numerous smaller firms developing generative AI models [1] [7].
