10 Use Cases for Generative AI
Today artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us: from the ads that Facebook shows you to Google Translate or self-driving cars. Virtual assistants such as Siri and Alexa are starting to feel very natural and human.
What we see today is just the tip of the iceberg. Underneath it there is a shift happening, moving us towards Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the point where machines start to think like humans. AGI will change our lives more than any technology before.
To make this future happen we need better AI algorithms. Google’s AutoML project is one example showing how neural networks can be used to design better neural networks. Other projects are using evolution or complex systems theories to give machines access to more knowledge and help them think in ways similar to humans.
What is Generative AI?
Generative AI is a subfield of machine learning that deals with the generation of new data. It differs from other subfields such as reinforcement learning or deep learning, which are more focused on learning from data. Generative AI algorithms are used to create new data, for example, images, text, or sounds.
Why is Generative AI Important?
There are many reasons why generative AI is important. First, it can be used to create data that does not exist yet. This is important for research purposes, for example when a new algorithm needs test data to train on.
Second, generative AI can be used to improve existing algorithms. For example by creating data for training new neural networks or evolving better deep learning architectures. Third, generative AI can be seen as an automated machine learning technique: a machine that designs better machines. The implications of this are much bigger than improving existing algorithms!
10 Use Cases for Generative AI
Here are 10 use cases for generative AI, covering a wide range of tasks. There are many more applications where generative AI can be used to create better AI algorithms, so this is just the beginning!
1. Algorithm Invention
One application of generative AI is to help researchers invent new machine learning algorithms. This process has so far been done mostly by hand, but with the help of generative AI, it can be automated.
2. Data Augmentation
Data augmentation is a technique used in machine learning to improve the quality of data. It consists in artificially augmenting the data set with additional data that is similar to the original data set but that has not been seen before. This is often used in deep learning to improve the performance of neural networks.
3. Neural Network Design
Neural networks are modeled after the brain and consist of a large number of interconnected neurons. The connections between neurons can be changed (or “tuned”) to adapt the network to a specific task. This process is called training and is done using a large amount of data. Generative AI can help with the task of tuning the neurons, for example by automatically finding the best set of connections.
4. Data Synthesis
One application of generative AI is to generate data that is not available in the real world. This can be used for research purposes, for example, to test new machine learning algorithms or deep learning architectures.
5. Text Generation
Text generation is the process of automatically creating text documents. AI text generators can be used to create summaries of articles, generate product descriptions, or write blog posts.
6. Image Generation
Another application of generative AI is to generate images. This can be used to create new images for research purposes or to generate realistic images that can be used in computer graphics applications.
