Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) Statement

The World Economic Forum defines generative AI as “a category of artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that generate new outputs based on the data they have been trained on. Unlike traditional AI systems that are designed to recognize patterns and make predictions, generative AI creates new content in the form of images, text, audio, and more.”

Some examples of generative AI tools include, but are not limited to: ChatGPT®, Gemini™, Microsoft Copilot™, Stable Diffusion (by Stability AI), Grammarly® AI Writing Assistant, and Adobe Firefly™.
