What Is Generative AI and How Is It Changing Industries?
Generative AI is the class of machine learning systems that produce new content — text, images, audio, video, code, or molecular structures — rather than classifying or predicting from existing data. It is not a single technology but a family of model architectures sharing one property: trained on enough examples, they can synthesize plausible new outputs in the same domain. Understanding what separates generative from conventional AI explains both why the technology spread so quickly and where its real limits lie.
