A Beginner's Guide to Learning Generative AI

In this blog post, we'll cover a list of essential resources that will help you understand the fundamentals and dive deeper into the exciting realm of generative AI. Let's get started!

Understanding Generative AI:

  • Start with "What is generative AI?" from Google's Techspert blog [1]. This concise and informative article provides an excellent introduction to generative AI, explaining its concepts, applications, and potential impact.

  • Dive into "What is generative AI?" by McKinsey Explainers [3]. This resource offers a broader perspective on the topic, discussing the fundamental principles and real-world use cases of generative AI.

Generative AI in Practice:

  • Learn about Google's research and future direction in generative models through the blog post "Google Research, 2022 & beyond: Generative models" [4]. This article explores the advancements made in generative AI and provides insights into its potential applications.

  • Discover the possibilities of creating generative AI-powered search and conversational experiences with Gen App Builder, as detailed in the blog post by "Google Cloud" [2]. This resource offers a practical approach to leveraging generative AI for developing innovative applications.

  • Gain insights into Stanford University and Google's collaboration in building generative agents that produce believable proxies of human behaviors. Read the article "Stanford U & Google's Generative Agents Produce Believable Proxies of Human Behaviors" [7] to understand the cutting-edge research and its implications.

Ethical Considerations and Perspectives:

  • Delve into the ethical aspects surrounding generative AI by exploring the New York Times podcast episode titled "Generative AI is here. Who Should Control It?" [6]. This thought-provoking discussion highlights the challenges and concerns associated with the control and responsible use of generative AI.

  • Stanford HAI's document "Generative AI: Perspectives from Stanford HAI" [8] offers insights from leading experts in the field. This comprehensive resource covers the opportunities, challenges, and implications of generative AI, helping you develop a well-rounded understanding of the topic.
