 Foundations of
Generative AI

Generative Artificial Intelligence relies on

algorithms like Generative Adversarial
Networks (GANs), comprising a generator
and a discriminator.

GANs were introduced in 2014 by Ian

Goodfellow and colleagues, with the
generator creating new data instances
resembling the training data, while the
discriminator distinguishes between real and
fake data.
 The Generator

It produces new data instances based

on random noise initially, refining its
output through training to resemble the
training data.
 The Discriminator

This network aims to differentiate

between real and fake data instances,
providing feedback to the generator to
improve its output over time.
Adversarial Training

The generator and discriminator engage

in a competitive game during training,
with the generator attempting to
produce more convincing output while
the discriminator becomes better at
identifying fake samples.
 Applications of
Generative AI

Generative AI finds use in various

domains, including image synthesis, text
generation, music composition, and
video generation.

Examples include generating

photorealistic images, creating coherent
text, and even composing music.
 Ethical
Considerations and
Challenges

Generative AI raises concerns regarding

the creation of deceptive content such
as fake news and deepfake videos.

Responsible deployment and

addressing biases in training data are
essential considerations.
 Future Directions

Ongoing research aims to enhance the

capabilities and robustness of
generative AI through techniques like
self-supervised learning, reinforcement
learning, and hybrid architectures.
