Generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and large language models (LLM) are machine learning algorithms that operate in an unsupervised or semi-supervised manner. These algorithms leverage pre-existing content, such as text, photos, audio, video, and code, to generate novel content. The primary objective is to produce authentic and novel material. In addition, there exists an absence of constraints on the quantity of novel material that they are capable of generating. New material can be generated through the utilization of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) or natural language interfaces, such as the ChatGPT developed by Open AI and Bard developed by Google. The field of generative artificial intelligence (AI) stands out due to its unique characteristic of undergoing development and maturation in a highly transparent manner, with its progress being observed by the public at large. The current era of artificial intelligence is being influenced by the imperative to effectively utilise its capabilities in order to enhance corporate operations. Specifically, the use of large language model (LLM) capabilities, which fall under the category of Generative AI, holds the potential to redefine the limits of innovation and productivity. However, as firms strive to include new technologies, there is a potential for compromising data privacy, long-term competitiveness, and environmental sustainability. This book delves into the exploration of generative artificial intelligence (GAI) and LLM. It examines the historical and evolutionary development of generative AI models, as well as the challenges and issues that have emerged from these models and LLM. This book also discusses the necessity of generative AI-based systems and explores the various training methods that have been developed for generative AI models, including LLM pretraining, LLM fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning from human feedback. Additionally, it explores the potential use cases, applications, and ethical considerations associated with these models. This book concludes by discussing future directions in generative AI and presenting various case studies that highlight the applications of generative AI and LLM.

Recommendations from the scientific community to ensure that the development and use of AI honors scientific norms In late 2022, OpenAI released ChatGPT, an AI chatbot capable of generating conversational answers and analyses, as well as images, in response to user questions and prompts. This generative AI is built with computational procedures, such as large language models, that train on vast bodies of human-created and curated data, including huge amounts of scientific literature. Since then, the worry that AI may someday outsmart humans has only grown more widespread. In the past, as society grappled with the implications of new technologies—ranging from nuclear energy to recombinant DNA—the scientific community developed practices designed to increase adherence to the norms that have protected the integrity of each new form of scientific exploration, development, and deployment. In the process, scientists expanded their community’s repertoire of mechanisms designed to advance emerging science and technology while safeguarding the integrity of science and the wellbeing of the nation and its people. This book provides a historical perspective on and an ethical approach to emerging AI technologies; an overview of AI frameworks and principles; and an assessment of AI’s current advances, hurdles, and potential. Experts from the fields of behavioral and social sciences, ethics, biology, physics, chemistry, mathematics, and computer science, as well as leaders in higher education, law, governance, and science publishing and communication, comprise the book’s contributors. Their essays remind us that, even as our understandings of emerging technologies and of their implications evolve, science’s commitment to core norms and values remains steadfast. The volume’s conclusion advocates for following principles of human accountability and responsibility when using artificial intelligence in research, including transparent disclosure and attribution; verification and documentation of AI-generated data and analysis; a focus on ethics and equity; and continuous oversight and public engagement.
