Introduction to Generative AI



Generative AI Overview

Generative AI Overview

The video discusses the essentials of generative AI (Gen AI), covering key terminologies, model APIs, how to build AI applications, and methods for customizing models through retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and fine-tuning.

Key Points

  • Understanding AI: Development of systems that perform tasks requiring human intelligence, with machine learning, natural language processing (NLP), and computer vision as key subfields.
  • Machine Learning: A subset of AI enabling models to learn from data and improve without explicit programming.
  • Deep Learning: A subfield of machine learning that employs artificial neural networks; notably, Transformer models have advanced NLP.
  • Generative AI: AI systems capable of generating new content (text, images, music) using deep learning techniques.
  • Large Language Models (LLMs): AI models trained on vast text data to produce human-like text for various language tasks.
  • Prompt Engineering: Designing effective prompts to elicit desired outputs from generative AI models; involves understanding capabilities, limitations, and biases.
  • Using Model APIs: Accessing generative AI models typically via REST APIs; securing API keys and optimizing usage for reliability and efficiency is essential.
  • Building AI Applications: Examples include creating a chatbot for personalized book recommendations; involves choosing an LLM provider and developing user interfaces.
  • Customization Techniques:
    • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Incorporates real-time external information to enhance the AI’s response accuracy.
    • Fine-Tuning: Adapts a pre-trained AI model for specific needs, improving performance on domain-specific tasks.
  • Generative AI’s potential: Offers a wide range of opportunities for innovative applications in various domains.
