Riassunto

Generative AI tools like ChatGPT are amazing—but how will their use impact our society? This book introduces the world-transforming technology and the strategies you need to use generative AI safely and effectively.

Introduction to Generative AI gives you the hows-and-whys of generative AI in accessible language. In this easy-to-read introduction, you’ll learn:

• How large language models (LLMs) work
• How to integrate generative AI into your personal and professional workflows
• Balancing innovation and responsibility
• The social, legal, and policy landscape around generative AI
• Societal impacts of generative AI

Anyone who uses ChatGPT for even a few minutes can tell that it’s truly different from other chatbots or question-and-answer tools. Introduction to Generative AI guides you from that first eye-opening interaction to how these powerful tools can transform your personal and professional life. In it, you’ll get no-nonsense guidance on generative AI fundamentals to help you understand what these models are (and aren’t) capable of, and how you can use them to your greatest advantage.
