This guide is a starting point for research on artificial intelligence, including topics in computer science, digital humanities, business, and the social sciences.

Generative AI

Generative AI is a very new form of artificial intelligence where we have seen a boom in systems and tools available since the early 2020s. The models underpinning it learn the patterns and structure of the enormous amounts of data they are trained on and use this to respond to prompts. Many such tools are evolving all the time, capable of generating text, images, videos, code or other data. (Generative AI overview from Wikipedia).
