RAS question

Generative AI refers to AI systems that can:

Correct answer: (A) Create new content such as text, images, code, and music.

Generative AI refers to AI systems that can create new content such as text, images, code and music.

  1. (A)

    Create new content such as text, images, code, and music

  2. (B)

    Only classify existing data

  3. (C)

    Only store data

  4. (D)

    Only delete data

Explanation

Generative AI is about generation, not merely recognition or storage. IBM defines it as artificial intelligence that can create original content in response to a user's prompt or request. Such systems learn patterns from training data and use those patterns to produce new outputs. That is why examples such as GPT for text, DALL-E and Midjourney for images, Sora for video, and GitHub Copilot for code fit the category. For RAS, the point is conceptual: the word "generative" signals the creation of new content, while India's IndiaAI Mission, with a Rs 10,372 crore budget, shows why indigenous AI development has become a policy-relevant science and technology topic.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (B) Classifying existing data describes discriminative AI behaviour, whereas generative AI is identified by its ability to create original content from prompts.
  • (C) Storing data is a database or storage function, not the pattern-learning and content-creation capability tested here.
  • (D) Deleting data is an administrative data operation and says nothing about AI systems generating new text, images, code, music or similar outputs.

Concept

This tests the Science and Technology concept of basic AI taxonomy, especially the distinction between generative systems and discriminative or data-management functions. It recurs in RAS because AI now links core technology, digital governance and current policy initiatives such as IndiaAI Mission.
