Un'introduzione all'Intelligenza Artificiale Generativa - Prima parte: Machine Learning

[Autom. eng. transl.] The aim of this series of articles is to provide an introduction, more cultural than technical, on the topic of generative artificial intelligence, to illustrate its operating principles, potential and limits. The presentation develops, in three parts, by progressive focalizations, from the very idea of a system with learned behavior (Machine Learning), to artificial neural networks, which are currently the main method for creating machine learning systems, and finally to generative artificial intelligence systems (Generative Artificial Intelligence, GenAI), of which chatbots, such as ChatGPT, are currently the best known example.
