Generative AI Explained: From GPT to Gemini
Understand how generative AI works, including the key differences between tools such as GPT and Gemini.
What you’ll explore
- Explain what generative AI is and how it differs from other types of AI, including why its output is a prediction rather than a lookup
- Identify the major generative AI models (GPT, Claude, Gemini and Copilot) and describe their key differences, including who builds them and where they are used
- Describe at a conceptual level how large language models are trained and generate responses, including tokens, context windows, hallucination and human feedback
- Evaluate the strengths and limitations of different generative AI tools for specific tasks, using a fair side-by-side comparison and checking the facts
- Choose the most appropriate generative AI tool for a given workplace use case, using a three-question framework, while protecting personal and commercial information
