This comprehensive technical guide, "Generative AI" by Rohit Mahajan and Ritu M. Uberoy, meticulously unpacks the complex landscape of artificial intelligence models capable of creating new data. The book systematically progresses from foundational concepts of machine learning and neural networks to advanced architectures like GANs, VAEs, Large Language Models (LLMs), and diffusion models. It provides a structured understanding of how these technologies work, their diverse applications across various domains, and critically examines the ethical considerations and societal impacts inherent in their development and deployment. Aimed at a broad audience from students to practitioners, it serves as an essential resource for navigating the rapidly evolving field of generative AI.
“Generative AI models are capable of creating novel data instances that resemble the training data, rather than just classifying or predicting.”
Key themes
