Introduction
Generative AI technology can change the way businesses manage the creation of text and images in industries including design, entertainment, e-commerce, marketing, and more. Learn how it does it and what its opportunities and risks are.
It's not exactly original in the "human" sense. But Generative Artificial Intelligence, or Generative AI, a technology that rose to fame with OpenAI's ChatGPT software, can improve the performance of various business activities, such as the production of text, images, and standard software codes, making them faster and more creative thanks to the combination of large amounts of sources and data used.

Generative Artificial Intelligence systems fall into the broad category of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Machine Learning (ML). They have the potential to change the way we approach content creation for applications such as design, entertainment, e-commerce, marketing, scientific research, and human resources. With opportunities and risks that must be carefully assessed.

It is evident that generative AI tools like ChatGPT and DALL-E, a specialized tool for art production both created by OpenAI, have the potential to transform a variety of tasks. – say McKinsey experts –. The full extent of that impact is still unknown, as are the risks, but there are some questions we can already answer.”

What Does Generative AI Mean?

According to McKinsey’s, generative AI uses algorithms that can be used to create new context and content, including code, images, audio, text, video, and simulations.

Using natural language prompts or requests from the user (either human or software), generative AI software creates texts from texts (text-to-text), images from texts (text-to-image), or even images from images (image-to-image).

These systems' outputs are combinations of the data that the algorithms were trained on. Because ChatGPT was developed on a GPT-3 system, which was trained on 45 TB of text data, the software was trained on a vast amount of data, the results may appear to be “creative.” In reality, what they generate is a collection and retrieval of a combination of sources, but given the enormous amount of data processed, the result may be new. After all, reworking can also be considered a form of creativity.

There is clearly a risk of incorrect or even inappropriate production and intellectual property infringement. But, if the user request is relevant and human oversight is continuous, generative AI products can be satisfactory. They can also be improved thanks to user feedback.

ChatGPT technology could fall within the scope of Generative Adversarial Network or GAN-type Neural Networks. The issue is debated because according to some experts, ChatGPT is a Transformer (GPT is the acronym for Generative Pretrained Transformer) and not a GAN.

Transformer is a deep learning model used in the field of NLP (natural language processing). GANs are an artificial intelligence algorithm that uses two competing neural networks to generate images, sounds, text and other data.

The first network, called the “generator”, tries to create fake images or data that look real; the second, called the “discriminator”, tries to identify whether the images or data are real or fake.

The generator and discriminator models compete with one another, with the generator trying to produce more realistic data and the discriminator trying to determine if the data is real or phony. The discriminator becomes increasingly adept at spotting phony data as the generator becomes increasingly skilled at producing realistic data that deceives the discriminator.

The goal of a GAN is to optimize deep learning and avoid shallow generalization errors due to data sparsity.

Generative AI: How it Improves Business Performance

For businesses, the opportunity of generative AI lies in the ability of these AI tools to produce a wide variety of credible texts and images in seconds.

IT and software organizations can use these systems to generate code instantly. Organizations that need short marketing texts or technical manuals also benefit. These systems also offer effective support for product design, layout, and photography. Currently, it is most effective for producing standard content (such as emails).

Generative AI: Applications and Opportunities for Businesses

1. Design with AI
This technology offers design companies a faster and more efficient way to create and edit designs. Generative algorithms can be trained on a huge set of previous and current data, such as images of any products, which are analyzed to then create new models and designs that meet established criteria or modify and customize existing designs, creating new variations and options.

Applications range from fashion design to automobile design, to the design of buildings and other architectural works. In the specific field of product design, generative AI is used to generate new ideas and customize products based on customer preferences.

2. E-Commerce and E-Marketing
In the retail sector, it is used for product and content personalization: emails or product recommendations, promotional content (ads and posts), website design, and mobile applications. Changing the visual characteristics of products or their description in videos is another field of application. It goes beyond the 360° video of a product: generative AI can perform automatic renderings with a large variability of parameters (angle, size, colors, modifications, configurations).

3. Scientific Research

Generative AI can be used in many areas of scientific research to generate new ideas, test hypotheses and accelerate discoveries and also for the writing of scientific texts, as Microsoft intends to do, which uses ChatGPT thanks to its close collaboration with OpenAI, in which it has invested approximately 10 billion dollars.

The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Cyber Security

Application fields include:

Bioinformatics for the identification of new proteins and discovery of potential drugs by generating protein models and multiple simulation scenarios. Astronomy for the generation of images of galaxies and simulated universe to better understand the evolution of the universe. Physics for the generation of artificial materials and the discovery of new materials through AI-based simulations.

These algorithms also allow us to perform simulations in the medical field in support of 3D technologies to preview prostheses and molecular organisms.

4. Entertainment Industry
The use of Text to Image technology is already being used to create visual content for movies, games, and other multimedia and marketing tools. Cosmopolitan's June 2022 cover, for the first time in the history of a newspaper, was created by the DALL-E 2 Artificial Intelligence.

The project was born from a collaboration between Cosmopolitan editors, OpenAI specialists and digital artist Karen X. Cheng, who found the perfect image by writing as a message: “Young woman's hand with nail polish holding a Cosmopolitan cocktail”; “Close-up of a woman dressed fashionably as Wes Anderson would”; “A woman wearing an earring that is a portal to another universe”.

The same experiment had been carried out a week earlier by The Economist for its cover. DALL-E 2 also allows the generation of Image-to-Image: We start from existing images to improve their quality or imagine contours and contexts that did not exist before.

5. Human Resources Management
Reverse, an international headhunting and human resources company, has started a series of experiments to apply the potential of ChatGPT to the personnel search sector. It involves writing to help recruiters, such as summarizing CVs in a less schematic way, writing job advertisements, pre-setting positive or negative emails for interviewed candidates, writing tips to attract passive candidates and, finally, getting help to better and deeply understand the technical aspects of the roles sought.

Generative AI: How to Avoid Harmful Impacts
Organizations that rely on generative AI models must consider that there are legal and reputational risks related to the inadvertent publication of biased, offensive, copyrighted, or privacy-protected content.

The Human Factor in the Management of Artificial Intelligence Remains Fundamental

It is also advisable to have a real supervisor, a human being who verifies the result of a generative AI model before proceeding to its publication or use.

 In the upcoming weeks, months, and years, there will probably be a significant shift in the risk and opportunity landscape. New use cases are being tested on a monthly basis and new models are likely to be developed. As generative AI becomes more and more seamlessly integrated into business, society and our personal lives, we can also expect a specific regulatory framework to take shape.”

It is therefore right to experiment and create value with generative AI, but with initially defined and supervised projects, while continuing to monitor the results and technological and regulatory evolution.
