Silicon Valley is abuzz over a new kind of artificial intelligence — generative AI.
It's a somewhat new field that exploded in popularity and attention in recent weeks, thanks to a steady stream of novel — and sometimes very weird — pieces of digital art hitting social media. The art was made by generative AI software, using simple text prompts from humans.
These kinds of tools not only produce unique pieces of art, they can also generate audio, text and video based on user prompts. While their results are less than perfect, the AI tools can turn what were once hours-long projects into minutes-long tasks.
Proponents of generative AI software say the tools could one day replace the armies of visual effects artists who work on major blockbuster films. In a shorter time frame, they could help white-collar workers whip up slideshow presentations, design corporate logos and even craft written content such as blog posts or social media posts.
Watch the video above to find out how generative AI works and why Silicon Valley tech investors think it could be the next big thing.

How Tech Is Betting Big On AI Generated Art

Francisco Gimeno - BC Analyst AI's (or better said programs or software which can learn from given orders) developments are kind of spectacular. We have something called "generative AI", which is a software prompted by humans, creating digital art. Yes, a human wouldn't call this software to be able of inspiration, but we can't expect this from it. What we should consider is the actual positive effects which this software and future more develop "generative AIs" will have on our daily job in so many fields. Imagine the world of marketing, of content creation with digital art, of presentations, of a world of animation beyond CGI, a tool for doctors to test themselves before a difficult intervention, the education sector using this tool, both for teachers and students, engineers,... just open your mind to the possibilities. Amazing.
