Generative AI Unleashed

Today's generative AI has been marked by the advent of neural networks, inspired by the human brain, which are trained to recognize patterns in a dataset. Once the network is trained, it can make decisions or predictions without being programmed to perform tasks. Generative AI learns from a set of data without explicit instructions and can create and generate new digital content such as text, audio and art. Recent models are beginning to overcome challenges such as computational power, data quality and training stability.

This edited book on generative AI presents novel perspectives, approaches and methodologies, as well as security, ethical and legal considerations, and future trends. Topics and technologies covered include generative transformers and text generation models, generative models for human-like speech synthesis, generative AI for image synthesis, data synthesis for privacy protection, and exploration of the impact of generative AI in fields including industry 4.0, astronomy, and brain tumour detection. Two chapters offer perspectives on ethics and legality.

Generative AI Unleashed: Advancements, transformative applications and future frontiers will serve as a valuable resource for researchers, engineers, advanced students and lecturers operating in the domains that are significantly impacted by generative AI.
