Abstract
Abstract Generative Artificial Intelligence (Gen-AI) is a new advancement that has revolutionized the concepts of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Model (LLM). This change impacts various aspects of life, stimulating industry, education, and healthcare progression. This survey presents the potential applications of Gen-AI across various sectors, highlighting the risks and opportunities. Some of the most pressing challenges include ethical consideration, the rise of disinformation (including deepfakes), concerns over Intellectual Property (IP) rights, cybersecurity risks, bias and discrimination. The survey also covers the fundamental models of Gen-AI, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and transformers. These frameworks are extremely important in various sectors, including medical imaging, drug discovery, and personalized medicine, and offer valuable insights into the future of technological advancements in the scientific community. The study contributes substantially by exploring positive elements and addressing the challenges of adequately deploying Gen-AI models. Using these insights, we hope to provide a comprehensive knowledge of the potential challenges and complexities associated with the widespread implementation of artificial intelligence technologies.
