DUBLIN - Generative artificial intelligence - commonly known as generative AI or GenAI - represents a groundbreaking shift in the field of artificial intelligence (AI). This tech creates new content and ideas, encompassing everything from conversations and stories to images, videos, and music. Unlike traditional AI methods, which primarily analyze or sort datasets, GenAI relies on advanced machine learning tools - particularly deep learning techniques - to produce unique outputs. This skill is powered by neural networks that mimic human thought processes, allowing these models to understand context and generate meaningful content.

AI in education has also grown significantly, and this has happened in several ways. First, the tremendous development in processing power has enabled large-scale model training on big datasets, advancing AI-powered tech. Second, the greater availability of digital instructional resources and internet platforms has enabled AI in learning contexts. The COVID-19 pandemic also pushed the adoption of new tools and innovative concepts to establish virtual learning spaces for students, transforming education.
