Generative AI: What sets it apart?

We have been discussing Artificial AI and the impact it can have on our working systems since its inception many years ago. But Generative AI is different.

Some key differentiating factors set generative AI different from traditional AI models are:

1. A shift from predefined tasks to original output:
   Traditional AI models were designed for specific tasks such as classification, regression, or pattern recognition. They focused on predefined tasks according to the input data.
   
   On the other hand, Generative AI is capable of generating new content such as text, and images, and going beyond the predefined tasks.
2. Extended Learning:
   While traditional AI models require a supervised or unsupervised learning approach to identify patterns, generative AI utilizes unsupervised learning without explicit guidance to create original outputs.
3. Wide training data requirement:
   AI is traditionally trained on labeled datasets with specific input-output pairs relevant to tasks, limiting its scope of application.
   
   On the other hand, generative AI requires a large and diverse dataset to learn and generate meaningful content.
4. Use cases:
   Traditional AI models are well-suited for image recognition, language translation, and sentiment analysis tasks. Tasks requiring specific predictions and classifications can be completed using general AI tools.
   
   For creative fields such as content creation that involve the generation of new and contextually relevant content, generative AI tools are preferred.
5. Flexibility and Adaptability:
   While traditional AI models are relatively rigid and task-specific, generative AI tends to be more adaptable and versatile. It is capable of handling a range of tasks without significant retraining. The model can adapt to various contexts and generate diverse outputs.
6. Human-like interaction:
   Traditional AI models are primarily used for providing answers or predictions based on pre-identified patterns.
   
   If you extend these capabilities, you can leverage generative AI to engage in more natural and human-like conversations, understanding context, and generating coherent and contextually relevant responses.

Conclusion

The gap between traditional AI models and generative AI has widened. With the world waking up to a new revolution in AI every day, it is imperative for businesses to implement it in their working ecosystems to enhance efficiency and reduce dependency on manual labor.

In response to this, Oracle has launched its own suite of Generative AI services. We will be uncovering all aspects of the service offering in detail in the upcoming blogs.
