New York: Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence that focuses on creating new content and is revolutionising various industries. From writing stories and content for social media, generating realistic images and pictures, composing new music, and designing products, it can even code.
According to a report by the World Economic Forum, by 2025, 75 million jobs may be displaced due to automation, but 133 million new jobs will be created, many of which will require AI and machine learning skills. The same report highlights that AI and machine learning will create 97 million new jobs by 2025, with the majority being in the tech industry.
Generative AI is a rapidly evolving field with vast career opportunities in various industries, including tech, healthcare, entertainment, and finance. Roles such as AI Research Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, and Creative AI Developer are in high demand. Generative AI isn’t just for those with a technical background. It has applications in creative fields like art, music, and writing, making it an exciting area for arts majors to explore.
GenAI excels at generating product descriptions, social media content, and personalised marketing for diverse audiences. Generative AI helps writers overcome blocks, suggests creative text structures, and translates languages. Regarding visuals, AI can create lifelike images from scratch based on descriptions or creatively modify existing ones. Examples include DALL-E 2, Leonardo, and Midjourney. In music, generative AI’s like Mubert, Soundful, and Aiva can compose original pieces across genres, inspiring musicians and enhancing media soundtracks.
VocaliD and Synthesizer-V, can customise digital voices for those who rely on synthetic speech. For developers, Microsoft Copilot AI can automate repetitive coding tasks and even write entire programs. Synthesia, Heygen, invidio are generative AI to produce realistic videos with digital avatars and voices, which are valuable for marketing and instructional content.
