On a basic level, generative AI tools are designed to generate data that's similar to the training data it was exposed to.

Since ChatGPT has gone public, there's been a lot of attention on generative AI tools. So let's cover some of the unique risks they face and some of the challenges they pose to auditors. Right now, the most popular generative AI tools are large language models, or models with lots of parameters that can exhibit zero-shot learning. When I say they need lots of parameters, I mean current LLMs typically have between 10 and 100 billion parameters. Having this many parameters gives large language models new emergent abilities.…
