This paper is all about explaining generative AI: where it came from, what it's doing now, and how it's used.
Generative AI is a cool tech that helps machines create new stuff that looks a lot like what humans make. Think of it like a computer artist who can paint pictures, write stories, compose music, and even make videos. This paper is all about explaining generative AI: where it came from, what it's doing now, and how it's used. It works by using fancy computer programs and smart algorithms to understand patterns in data and then make new things that fit those patterns. It's super important because it's changing how we do things in fields like healthcare, entertainment, and education. But, it's not all fun and games. Generative AI also brings up some serious questions about privacy, fairness, and making sure we use it in good ways. This paper dives into all that, showing the good and the tricky parts of generative AI and how it's shaping our world. Key Words: Generative AI, technology, machine creativity, data patterns, applications, healthcare, entertainment, education, privacy, fairness, ethical use, societal impact.
