Generative AI (GenAI) is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that can create a wide variety of data, such as images, videos, audio, text, and 3D models. It does this by learning patterns from existing data, then using this knowledge to generate new and unique outputs. GenAI is capable of producing highly realistic and complex content that mimics human creativity, making it a valuable tool for many industries such as gaming, entertainment, and product design. The University of Southern California (USC) recently launched the Center for Generative Artificial Intelligence and Society to examine how GenAI is reshaping the way humans live, work, learn, and play, and how it can be leveraged for the common good. USC has played a seminal role in the development of GenAI, and is poised to be an international leader in pioneering the use of GenAI to solve complex problems, create art, and even assist in scientific research. Given that the implications of this quickly advancing technology across all industries, disciplines, and fields is substantial, USC aims to provide funding for critical and timely cutting-edge research on GenAI.
