Principles of AI tools

First, we will explain machine learning to understand AI design tools. Machine learning is a technology that discovers rules and patterns behind the data by analyzing large amounts of data and having computers automatically learn. With the introduction of a machine learning method called neural networks, which mathematically imitates the learning mechanism of living organisms, and the development of deep learning methods, AI has achieved revolutionary evolution.

Three models of AI design tools

01.Generative model

A generative model is a model that automatically generates a new design from given information. Patterns are extracted from a huge amount of image data based on stochastic generative models in statistics. Designs created by generative AI can be said to be nearly unique and original.

Image generation AI tools such as Midjourny and Stable Deffusion fall into this category. It can also be applied to other voice generation tools. With the advent of generative AI, designers and creators faced the possibility that their work could be used by his AI.

02. Large-scale language model (LLM)

A large-scale language model is a language model that is trained from a huge amount of text data. It uses natural language processing (NLP) techniques to translate and summarize text and answer questions. It will continue to be a core model for AI tools, as it can be applied to a variety of tasks, not just text creation.

03. Computer vision model

Computer vision models are models that extract information from images and videos. For example, you can locate objects and people in images and detect faces in images. It is used for functions such as Google Photo and iPhone "People".
