Student Guide to Generative AI

This guide is to help students navigate the use of generative AI.

Introduction

This guide focuses on generative AI.

We cover only AI that can generate text, images, video, music, or speech. Examples: ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, Gemini, Perplexity, Adobe Firefly, Midjourney, Eleven Labs, and more.

We aim to keep this guide up to date. But since new developments are happening so quickly, it's possible this may be out of date when you read it.
