TECHNICAL DEFINITION

The explicit, informed agreement from individuals for the collection, processing, and sharing of their data by AI systems, often a legal requirement for data handling.

BACKGROUND

Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is a subfield of artificial intelligence (AI) that uses generative models to generate text, images, videos, audio, software code or other forms of data. These models learn the underlying patterns and structures of their training data, and use them to generate new data in response to input, which often takes the form of natural language prompts.
