Generative AI

Generative AI 

About Generative Artificial Intelligence

• • Deep learning models that can “learn” to produce statistically likely outputs when given instructions are referred to as “generative AI.” 
  • The foundation models (big AI models) that drive generative AI are capable of multitasking and executing custom tasks like classification, Q&A, summarization, and more.
•  Foundation models can be tailored for specific use cases with very little example data and very little training.

Generative AI Works:

• • Using a Machine Learning model to identify patterns and relationships in a dataset of content created by humans, Generative AI creates new content based on the patterns it has discovered.
  • Supervised learning is the most popular method for training generative AI models; in this method, the model is fed a set of labels and human-generated content. 
  • After that, it picks up the ability to produce content that is labeled similarly and similar to content that has been created by humans. 

Common Generative AI Applications

• • Generative AI analyzes large amounts of data, producing answers and insights in text, picture, and format that is easy to use. Using conversational interfaces and summaries, generative AI can be utilized to: 
  • Improve customer interactions by offering better chat and search experiences; 
  •  Explore massive volumes of unstructured data. 
  • Help with routine duties such as responding to RFPs, translating marketing materials into five different languages, verifying that customer contracts are compliant, and more. 

Summary

• • Before being made available to users on the Indian internet, any software utilizing generative AI, large-language models (LLMs), artificial intelligence (AI) models, or algorithms in testing must obtain the “explicit permission of the government of India.” 
  • On March 1, the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) released a late-night advisory a first for the entire world.
  • By using AI, generative AI, LLMs, or any other kind of algorithm, it asked all platforms to make sure that their computer resources do not allow any bias or discrimination or jeopardize the integrity of the electoral process.
  • The government’s recommendation follows allegations on social media platform X that Google’s AI model Gemini was prejudiced in response to a question about whether Prime Minister Narendra Modi was a “fascist.”
  • The user accused Google’s AI GPT model Gemini of being “downright malicious” for responding to inquiries about the “fascist” views of a number of well-known world leaders.
  • Later, Google announced that in addition to working to resolve the problems, it was also temporarily halting Gemini’s ability to produce images. 

Role Influence of GenAI on Elections in 2024

• • Over 50 countries, including Taiwan, South Africa, Russia, Indonesia, the US, the UK, and India, will hold highly competitive elections in 2024.
  • The prevalence of fake news will be one of the main issues for voters in this election, as it has in previous ones, especially as AI technology makes it easier to produce and distribute.
  • AI-derived disinformation and its potential to cause societal polarization were listed as one of the top 10 risks for the next two years in the World Economic Forum 2024 Global Risk Report.
  • Generative AI tools can be used by people with very little technical knowledge to spread false text, photos, videos, and audio across a vast digital base in several languages. 
  • AI can produce deepfakes and voice-cloned audio in addition to disseminating propaganda with a small amount of data, which poses serious problems for governments and organizations worldwide. 
  • AI is capable of developing close relationships with humans through its command of language, and it can use these relationships to customize messages and shape people’s perspectives.
  •  Politicians in India are also using AI to connect with more people, particularly in rural areas.
  • For instance, in December 2023, at an event in Uttar Pradesh, Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s speech was translated from Hindi to Tamil using a real-time AI-powered tool.
  • Like any new technology, there are potential uses and misuses for artificial intelligence. 
  • While some view the prospect as concerning, others believe it has the potential to be beneficial.
