    Generative AI vs Traditional AI
    Generative AI is a hot topic that's filled with a host of new legal, ethical, and technology issues. In this course, learn traditional concepts like supervised and unsupervised deep learning networks that have inspired newer generative AI concepts like: self-supervised learning, foundation models, diffusion models, and generative adversarial networks. To understand where a technology is heading, it's important to know its story. These generative AI tools are a big leap, but they’re still just another chapter in the exciting story of artificial intelligence.
