Preferred Label : Generative Artificial Intelligence;
MeSH definition : An artificial intelligence (AI) technique that generates synthetic artifacts by analyzing
training examples; learning their patterns and distribution; and then creating realistic
facsimiles. It uses generative modeling and advances in deep learning to produce diverse
content at scale by utilizing existing media such as text, graphics, audio, and video.

Définition CISMeF : “The class of AI models that emulate the structure and characteristics of input data
in order to generate derived synthetic content. This can include images, videos, audio,
text, and other digital content.” (Source: E.O. 14110) This is usually done by approximating
the statistical distribution of the input data. For example, in healthcare, generative
AI can be used to generate annotations on synthetic medical data (e.g., image features,
text labels) to help expand datasets for training algorithms.; Source: Adapted from: Meskó, B., & Topol, E. J. (2023). The imperative for regulatory
