But generative AI goes one step further by using complex systems and models to generate new, or novel, outputs in the form of an image, text, or audio based on natural language prompts.<\/p>\n<p>Generative AI models and applications can, for example, be used for:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Text generation<\/strong>. Text generation, as a field, with AI tools has been <a href=\"https:\/\/www.deep-talk.ai\/post\/history-and-present-of-natural-language-processing\">in development since the 1970s<\/a>\u2014but more recently, AI researchers have been able to train generative adversarial networks (GANs) to produce text that models human-like speech. A prime example is <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/blog\/chatgpt\">OpenAI\u2019s application ChatGPT<\/a>, which has been trained on thousands of texts, books, articles, and code repositories, and can respond with full answers to natural language prompts and questions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71217\"  class=\"wp-caption aligncenter mx-0\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1442\" height=\"550\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"width-fit size-large wp-image-71217 width-fit\" src=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image5-1.png?w=1024&#038;resize=1442%2C550\" alt=\"An example of text generation in ChatGPT\" srcset=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image5-1.png?w=1442 1442w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image5-1.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image5-1.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image5-1.png?w=1024 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"text-mono color-fg-muted mt-14px f5-mktg\">An example of text generation in ChatGPT<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Image generation<\/strong>. Generative AI models can be used to create new images with natural language prompts, which is one of the most popular techniques with current tools and applications. The goal with text-to-image generation is to create an image that accurately represents the content of a given prompt. For example, when we give the text prompt, \u201cimpressionist style oil painting of a Shiba Inu dog giving a tarot card reading,\u201d to <a href=\"https:\/\/openai.com\/product\/dall-e-2\">the popular AI image generator DALL-E 2<\/a> we get something that looks like this (and yes, it\u2019s a gem):<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71218\"  class=\"wp-caption aligncenter mx-0\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"width-fit size-large wp-image-71218 width-fit\" src=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=1024&#038;resize=1024%2C1024\" alt=\"An AI-generated image from DALL-E 2 of a Shiba Inu dog giving a tarot card reading\" srcset=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=1024 1024w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=150 150w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=300 300w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=768 768w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=600 600w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=400 400w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=200 200w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=1000 1000w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=90 90w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image1-1.png?w=116 116w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"text-mono color-fg-muted mt-14px f5-mktg\">An AI-generated image from DALL-E 2 of a Shiba Inu dog giving a tarot card reading<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Video generation<\/strong>. Generative AI models, like <a href=\"https:\/\/stablediffusionweb.com\/\">Stable Diffusion, are creating new videos from existing videos<\/a> by applying specified styles through a text prompt or image reference. One project on GitHub, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/nateraw\/stable-diffusion-videos\">stable-diffusion-videos<\/a>, offers helpful examples and tips on how to create music videos and videos that can morph between text prompts with Stable Diffusion.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image3.gif\" alt=\"An example of a video created with a text prompt using diffusion models from [Imagen Video](https:\/\/imagen.research.google\/).\" \/><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Programming code generation<\/strong>. Rather than scouring the internet or developer community groups for help with code examples, generative AI models can be used to help generate new programming code with natural language prompts, complete partially written code with suggestions, or even translate code from one programming language to another. This is how, at a simple level, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/features\/copilot\/\">GitHub Copilot<\/a> works: <a href=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/2023-02-14-github-copilot-now-has-a-better-ai-model-and-new-capabilities\/\">it uses OpenAI\u2019sCodex model to offer code suggestions<\/a> right from a developer\u2019s editor. However, as you would with any software development tool, we encourage you to review generated code before merging into production.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Data generation<\/strong>. Creating new data\u2014which is called <a href=\"https:\/\/mostly.ai\/synthetic-data\/what-is-synthetic-data\/\">synthetic data<\/a>\u2014and augmenting existing data sets is another common use case for generative AI. This involves generating new samples from an existing dataset to increase the dataset\u2019s size and improve machine learning models trained on it, all while providing a layer of privacy since real user data is not being utilized to power models. Synthetic data generation provides a way to create useful, meaningful data for more than just ML training though\u2014a number of self-driving car companies like <a href=\"https:\/\/getcruise.com\/\">Cruise<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/waymo.com\/\">Waymo<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/techcrunch.com\/2022\/11\/16\/parallel-domain-says-autonomous-driving-wont-scale-without-synthetic-data\/\">utilize AI-generated synthetic data for training perception systems<\/a> to prepare vehicles for real-world situations while in operation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Language translation<\/strong>. Natural-language understanding (NLU) models combined with generative AI have become increasingly popular to provide language translations on-the-fly. These types of tools help companies break language barriers and increase their scope of accessibility for customer bases by being able to provide things like support or documentation in their native language. Through complex, deep learning algorithms, generative AI is able to understand the context of a source text and linguistically construct those sentences in another language. This practice can also apply to coding languages, for example, translating a desired function from Python to Java.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote><p><strong>The bottom line:<\/strong> Even though generative AI is a relatively new technology, it&#8217;s already being used in consumer and business applications. The use cases, as well as the quantity of applications created with it, will continue evolving to meet more distinct and specific needs.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2 id=\"how-does-generative-ai-work\"><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#how-does-generative-ai-work\">How does generative AI work?<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Generative AI models work by using neural networks to identify patterns from large sets of data, then generate new and original data or content.<\/p>\n<p>But what are neural networks? In simple terms, they use interconnected nodes that are inspired by neurons in the human brain. These networks are the foundation of machine learning and deep learning models, which use a complex structure of algorithms to process large amounts of data such as text, code, or images. Training these neural networks involves adjusting the weights or parameters of the connections between neurons to minimize the difference between predicted and desired outputs, which allows the network to learn from mistakes and make more accurate predictions based on the data.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"p-4 p-md-6 post-aside--large\"><p class=\"h5-mktg gh-aside-title\">What&#039;s the difference between machine learning and AI?<\/p><p>Machine learning is a discipline that falls under the umbrella of AI and uses a complex series of algorithms to identify patterns and learn from data. AI refers to the development of models and applications that can perform tasks that simulate human intelligence with computer systems.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<p>Algorithms are a key component of machine learning and generative AI models. But beyond helping machines learn from data, algorithms are also used to optimize accuracy of outputs and make decisions, or recommendations, based on input data.<\/p>\n<p>While algorithms help automate these processes, building a generative AI model is incredibly complex due to the massive amounts of data and compute resources they require. People and organizations need large datasets to train these models, and generating high-quality data can be time-consuming and expensive.<\/p>\n<p>To restate the obvious, these models are complicated. Need proof? Here are some common generative AI models and how they work:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Large language models (LLM)<\/strong>: LLMs are a type of machine learning model that process and generate natural language text. One of the most significant advancements in the development of large language models has been the availability of vast amounts of text data, such as books, websites, and social media posts. This data can be used to train models that are capable of predicting and generating natural language responses in a variety of contexts. As a result, large language models have multiple practical applications, such as virtual assistants, chatbots, or text generators, like ChatGPT.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Generative adversarial networks (GAN)<\/strong>: GANs are one of the most used models for generative AI, and they employ two different neural networks. GANs consist of two different types of neural networks: a generator and a discriminator. The generator network generates new data, such as images or audio, from a random noise signal while the discriminator is trained to distinguish between real data from the training set and the data produced by the generator.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>During training, the generator tries to create data that can trick the discriminator network into thinking it\u2019s real. This \u201cadversarial\u201d process will continue until the generator can produce data that is totally indistinguishable from real data in the training set. This process helps both networks improve at their respective tasks, which ultimately results in more realistic and higher-quality generated data.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71220\"  class=\"wp-caption aligncenter mx-0\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1694\" height=\"740\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"width-fit size-large wp-image-71220 width-fit\" src=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image4-1.png?w=1024&#038;resize=1694%2C740\" alt=\"A diagram illustrating how a generative adversarial network works.

VAEs can take a large amount of data and compress it into a smaller representation, which can be used to create new data that is similar to the original data. VAEs are often used in image, video, and audio generation\u2014and here\u2019s a fun fact: you can train a VAE on datasets like <a href=\"http:\/\/mmlab.ie.cuhk.edu.hk\/projects\/CelebA.html\">CelebA<\/a>, which contains over 200,000 images of celebrities, to create completely new portraits of people that don\u2019t exist.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<figure id=\"attachment_71221\"  class=\"wp-caption aligncenter mx-0\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"539\" height=\"220\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"width-fit size-large wp-image-71221 width-fit\" src=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image6.jpg?w=539&#038;resize=539%2C220\" alt=\" The smile vector, a concept vector discovered by [Tom White](https:\/\/aiartists.org\/tom-white) using VAEs trained on the CelebA dataset.\" srcset=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image6.jpg?w=539 539w, https:\/\/github.blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/04\/image6.jpg?w=300 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 539px) 100vw, 539px\" \/><figcaption class=\"text-mono color-fg-muted mt-14px f5-mktg\">The smile vector, a concept vector discovered by <a href=\"https:\/\/aiartists.org\/tom-white\">Tom White<\/a> using VAEs trained on the CelebA dataset.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 id=\"the-real-world-applications-of-generative-ai\"><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#the-real-world-applications-of-generative-ai\">The real-world applications of generative AI<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>The impact of generative AI is quickly becoming apparent\u2014but it\u2019s still in its early days.

Writers, marketers, and creators can leverage tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jasper.ai\/bossmode?fpr=omid85\">Jasper<\/a> to generate copy, <a href=\"https:\/\/surferseo.com\/?fpr=marketer79\">Surfer SEO<\/a> to optimize organic search, or <a href=\"https:\/\/albert.ai\/\">albert.ai<\/a> to personalize digital advertising content.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"art-and-design\"><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#art-and-design\">Art and design<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>As we\u2019ve seen above, the power of AI can be harnessed to create some incredible portraits in a matter of moments (re: the future-telling Shiba \ud83d\udc15). Artists and designers alike are using these AI tools as a source of inspiration. For example, architects can quickly create 3D models of objects or environments and artists can breathe new life into their portraits by using AI to apply different styles, like adding a Cubist style to their original image. Need proof? Designers are already starting to use AI image generators, such as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.midjourney.com\/home\/\">Midjourney<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/designer.microsoft.com\/\">Microsoft Designer<\/a>, to create high-quality images by simply typing out Discord commands.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"finance\"><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#finance\">Finance<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>In <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2023\/01\/25\/future-of-finance-generative-ai-mit-researcher\/\">a recent discussion about tech trends and how they\u2019ll affect the finance sector<\/a>, Michael Schrage, a research fellow at the MIT Sloan School Initiative on the Digital Economy, said, \u201cI think, increasingly, we\u2019re going to be seeing generative AI used for financial forecasts and scenario generation.\u201d This is a likely path forward\u2014generative AI can be used to analyze large amounts of data to detect fraud, manage risk, and inform decision making. And that has obvious applications in the financial services industry.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"manufacturing\"><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#manufacturing\">Manufacturing<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h3>\n<p>Manufacturers are starting to turn to generative AI solutions to help with product design, quality control, and predictive maintenance. Generative AI can be used to analyze historical data to improve machine failure predictions and help manufacturers with maintenance planning. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.capgemini.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/AI-in-manufacturing-operations.pdf\">According to research conducted by Capgemini<\/a>, more than half of European manufacturers are implementing some AI solutions (although so far, these aren\u2019t generative AI solutions). This is largely because the sheer amount of manufacturing data is easier for machines to analyze at speed than humans.<\/p>\n<p><strong>AI as a partner<\/strong>: Generative AI models and tools are narrow in focus, and work best at generating content, code, and images. In research at GitHub, we\u2019ve found that<a href=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/2022-09-07-research-quantifying-github-copilots-impact-on-developer-productivity-and-happiness\/\"> GitHub Copilot helps developers code up to 55% faster,<\/a> underscoring how generative AI models and tools can improve overall productivity and boost efficiency. Metrics like these show how generative AI tools are already changing how people and teams work\u2014but they also underscore how these tools act as complement to human efforts.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"p-4 p-md-6 post-aside--large\"><p class=\"h5-mktg gh-aside-title\">Obstacles in building generative AI models<\/p><p>\nWhile generative AI models are being used to power applications, there are two key challenges any organization building or using one will face:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Computation power and data quantity\/quality<\/strong>. Generative AI requires significant compute resources, powerful GPUs, and large amounts of memory. This type of hardware is costly, which in turn also creates a barrier to entry for a lot of individuals or organizations to build in-house solutions.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Training generative AI models to create accurate outputs also requires large amounts of high-quality data<\/strong>. If training data is biased or incomplete, the models may generate content that is inaccurate (that\u2019s why generative AI design tools have a particularly hard time recreating <a href=\"https:\/\/petapixel.com\/2023\/03\/02\/why-ai-image-generators-cant-get-hands-right\/#:~:text=Professor%20of%20AI%20and%20the,on%2C%E2%80%9D%20she%20tells%20BuzzFeed.\">human hands<\/a>) or not useful.<\/p>\n<\/aside>\n<h2 id=\"take-this-with-you\"><a class=\"heading-link\" href=\"#take-this-with-you\">Take this with you<span class=\"heading-hash pl-2 text-italic text-bold\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>Whether it&#8217;s creating visual assets for an ad campaign or augmenting medical images to help diagnose diseases, generative AI is helping us solve complex problems at speed. And the emergence of generative AI-based programming tools has revolutionized the way developers approach writing code.<\/p>\n<p>We know that developers want to design and write software quickly, and tools like GitHub Copilot are enabling them to access large datasets to write more efficient code and boost productivity. In fact, <a href=\"https:\/\/github.blog\/2022-09-07-research-quantifying-github-copilots-impact-on-developer-productivity-and-happiness\/\">96% of developers surveyed reported spending less time on repetitive tasks using GitHub Copilot<\/a>, which in turn allowed 74% of them to focus on more rewarding work.<\/p>\n<p>While these models aren\u2019t perfect yet, they\u2019re getting better by the day\u2014and that\u2019s creating an exciting immediate future for developers and generative AI.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Generative AI has been dominating the news lately\u2014but what exactly is it?
