New Generative AI model:

  • Features: Generative AI is most commonly used to generate text, images, and code in response to users’ requests, even if they are capable of more.
  • Benefits: AI models backed by neural networks trained on very large datasets and with access to sufficient computing power have been used to do well.
  • Applications: New antibiotics and alloys, for clever entertainment and cultural activities, and for many banal tasks, but it has caught attention most notably with its ability to falsify data.

Concerns:
