GenAI in a Nutshell

The magic of GenAI is driven by its ability to leverage and combine four transformational capabilities

Natural Language
Understanding (NLU)

NLU enables users to interact ‘naturally’ in their native language with connected computer systems. Those systems not only understand what the user says, but their underlying ‘intent’ - opening up a new world of possibilities.

Intelligent Big Data

GenAI breaks down information silos - transforming your data into intelligent, actionable insights

Deep Learning

Innovations in neural networks and compute power are the key to translating Big Data into actionable intelligence.

Generative Pre-Trained Transformer (e.g. ChatGPT)

The ‘GPT’ in ChatGPT stands for ‘Generative Pre-Trained Transformers’, an innovative class of GenAI solutions capable of taking Big Data inputs and generating realistic and humanlike content.
