Introduction
The Rise of AI: From Machine
Learning to Generative AI
While AI has recently seen a resurgence in interest; make no mistake, businesses have been seeking efficiencies and competitive advantages from it for years in some form or another (although most of what we called AI
in previous years was far from what we’d currently liken it to). This resurgence began fairly recently with Machine Learning (ML), a subfield of AI, that empowers computers to learn
autonomously without explicit programming. It’s only recently that ML has stood at the forefront among businesses flexing their muscles in the realm of predictive analytics.
AI, however, encompasses a broader spectrum that includes both ML and its own subfield, Deep Learning (DL), a technique used for developing mathematical models that mimic human intelligence and logical reasoning, a formidable undertaking! It’s from these fields that have given rise to today’s AI technologies: Generative AI (GenAI) and most notably Large Language Models (LLMs) like OpenAI’s GPT-4. These stand at the head of technological innovation in contemporary times.
In the dynamic landscape of technology, news of advancements in these fields permeate daily headlines, reflecting their pervasive influence across diverse businesses and industries. Such rapid progression renders information obsolete swiftly, underscoring the volatile nature of technological evolution. It can also lead to hype, which can hinder progress when expectations are set too high.
