What Is Generative AI?

Generative AI refers to technology that can create new content—like text, images, music, or even code—based on what it learns from existing data. Think of it as an intelligent assistant that’s not just analyzing information, but actually using that knowledge to generate something original.

For example, when you ask Microsoft Copilot to write an email or summarize a document, it draws on patterns it has learned from vast amounts of text to craft a useful, human-like response. This makes generative AI a productivity booster — helping professionals, students, and creators get things done faster with less effort.

💡 Fun thought: The next time you use Copilot to outline a presentation or draft a report, you’re already tapping into the power of Generative AI!
