About A Simple Guide To The History Of Generative AI Bernard Marr
This page by Bernard Marr, dated 16 June 2023, introduces the history of generative AI and how generative systems create content. It contrasts generative AI with traditional systems that follow predetermined patterns and rules, noting that generative models can produce audio, art and text by learning from data without explicit instructions.
It traces development from machine learning work in the late 1950s through wider use in the 1990s and 2000s, and explains Markov Chains, neural networks, Generative Adversarial Networks proposed in 2014, Variational Autoencoders, Recurrent Neural Networks, and later milestones such as WaveNet.
