Generative AI and machine learning are related concepts, but they’re not the same. Generative AI refers to models that you can train with unlabeled and labeled data and then instruct to perform various tasks by providing input in natural language. Machine learning (ML) is just one of the foundational concepts that GenAI is rooted in, along with natural language processing, deep learning, attention mechanisms, and others. ML is an approach for making computers learn from data, which enables AI models to generate something new based on what they’ve learned.
