What is Generative AI?
Generative AI creates new content — text, images, code, audio — from natural-language prompts, powered by large models trained on vast datasets. Tools like Microsoft Copilot, ChatGPT and Claude are transforming drafting, analysis, customer service and software development.
Why Generative AI matters for Australian businesses
