, andmusic, by learning patterns from existing data [14]. This differs from other AI approaches thatfocus on tasks like classification, prediction, and decision-making. Generative AI involvestraining a machine learning model on large amounts of data to learn the underlying patterns andthen using that learning to generate new content that has not been seen before.One example of generative AI is the ChatGPT language model developed by OpenAI, which hasbeen recognized for its ability to produce text that appears to be written by humans [15]. Recentadvancements in generative AI have shown significant potential in several fields, includinghealthcare, where generative models have been used to generate synthetic medical images [16],and robotics, where
