Artificial Intelligence (AI), a term introduced by the esteemed Stanford Professor John McCarthy in 1955, was originally described as "the science and engineering of making intelligent machines." Initially, AI research centered on programming machines to demonstrate certain behaviors, like playing games. However, the current focus is on crafting machines with the capacity to learn, resembling aspects of human learning processes.

From IBM's Research Blog:
Generative AI refers to deep-learning models that can take raw data -- say, all of Wikipedia... -- and "learn" to generate statistically probably outputs when prompted.
