Diffusion Model

Definition

A class of generative models that learn to reverse a gradual noise-addition process to produce high-quality images, audio, or video from random noise. Diffusion models power leading image generators such as Stable Diffusion and DALL-E 3.

Generative AI

AI models capable of creating new content—text, images, code, audio, or video—rather than just classifying existing data. Generative AI is driving a productivity wave in enterprise workflows but also introduces governance challenges around accuracy and intellectual property.

Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)

A framework consisting of two neural networks—a generator and a discriminator—that compete against each other. The generator creates synthetic data; the discriminator tries to distinguish real from fake. GANs produce highly realistic images and are also studied in the context of deepfake detection.

Multimodal AI

AI systems that process and reason across multiple types of data simultaneously—text, images, audio, and video. Multimodal models enable richer enterprise applications such as document understanding that combines tables, charts, and prose.
