Daily Learning Post: What Is Generative AI?

Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that can create new content—like text, images, music, or even code—by learning patterns from large amounts of data. Imagine tools that write emails for you, generate computer code, or design pictures based on a few instructions; these are powered by generative AI.

Example in Everyday Life:
Microsoft Copilot (an AI assistant built into products like Word, Excel, and Teams) uses generative AI to help you draft documents, summarize meetings, and answer questions automatically.

Why does this matter?
Generative AI can save time, spark creativity, and make complex tasks easier for everyone—no coding skills required!

Questions for You:

• What’s one thing you wish an AI tool could do for you?
• Are you curious to see how Copilot could help in your work or studies?
