Generative AI is what we call AI systems that can generate things like images, video, voice and text. They do this by first encoding many examples of the kind of content they’re going to make, then decoding to make something new.

The AI industry encompasses both major technology companies that integrate algorithms into existing products and firms focused primarily on developing and deploying specialized AI services, primarily Large Language Models (LLMs) and generative tools.

Recommendation is where the role of algorithms is most visible to the public.

AI (artificial intelligence) is a way of using computer algorithms to do things with little or no human involvement.

Artificial intelligence, or AI, uses computer algorithms trained on data sets to complete tasks with little human help. Children and teens interact with these systems daily through games, apps and content recommendations.

The podcast industry has seen remarkable growth, with the number of active podcast programs climbing from 550,000 to 750,000 between 2018 and 2019. More than a third of anglophones in Canada listen to podcasts, and just over a quarter of francophones.

A podcast is a digital file that contains audio or video, allowing for flexible and intimate storytelling. Unlike traditional radio, the cost to start producing a podcast is remarkably low, meaning many different types of creators can participate using devices like cell phones. This medium builds a strong feeling of closeness with listeners because the host’s voice seems to be speaking directly into your ear, creating deep, personal connections. Podcasters often imagine their audience as friends or fans.
