GenAI Study Jams - Exploring the Power of Generative AI

Welcome to the GenAI Study Jams, an immersive event designed to introduce students to the revolutionary world of Generative AI and provide practical experience in leveraging Google Cloud's AI tools. Whether you’re passionate about artificial intelligence or simply curious about the future of tech, this event will give you a solid foundation in one of the most transformative technologies of our time.

What is Generative AI?

Generative AI refers to a class of artificial intelligence models that can generate new content, such as images, text, audio, and more, by learning from existing data. Unlike traditional AI models that focus on classification or prediction, Generative AI creates something entirely new and often unexpected. It’s the technology behind ChatGPT, DALL·E, and various other innovations shaping industries like content creation, software development, design, and beyond.

In the field of Generative AI, we’re witnessing AI systems capable of creating realistic images from text prompts, composing music, writing human-like text, generating code, and even assisting in scientific research. These capabilities are not only transforming industries but also opening up entirely new possibilities for innovation.
