Differences Between AI and Generative AI

Artificial intelligence (AI) and generative artificial intelligence (generative AI) are related but distinct concepts within the field of artificial intelligence. Here, I explain the main differences:

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Artificial intelligence is a broad field of computer science that focuses on creating systems capable of performing tasks that normally require human intelligence. This includes a variety of techniques and approaches, such as:

  1. Machine Learning: Algorithms that enable machines to learn from data and make predictions or decisions based on that data.
  2. Natural Language Processing (NLP): Systems that can understand and generate human language.
  3. Computer Vision: Techniques for interpreting and understanding images and videos.
  4. Robotics: Creating robots that can perform physical tasks.
  5. Expert Systems: Programs that emulate the decision-making of a human expert in a specific field.

Generative AI

Generative AI is a subcategory of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating new content using generative models. These models can generate text, images, music, and other types of data. Some key features and examples of generative AI include:
