Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence focused on creating new content such as text, images, music, or code based on patterns learned from existing data. It uses deep learning models – especially large language models (LLMs) and generative adversarial networks (GANs) – to produce outputs that closely resemble human-created work. These systems can draft articles, generate artwork, compose music, and even simulate voices or video, transforming industries from media and design to healthcare and education. The power of generative AI lies in its ability to synthesize creativity and automation, but it also raises ethical questions about authenticity, bias, and intellectual property. As the technology evolves, it continues to redefine how humans and machines collaborate in creative and professional tasks.
Andrew Tulloch, co-founder of the $12 billion AI startup Thinking Machines Lab, has joined Meta after previously rejecting what reports described as a $1.5 billion offer — a figure Meta has since called ‘inaccurate and ridiculous.’
