What is GAN (Generative Adversarial Network)?
An AI system where two neural networks compete against each other to produce increasingly realistic outputs.
Why It Matters
GANs were among the first AI systems to generate realistic images and are still used for tasks like image enhancement.
Real-World Example
Using a GAN to upscale low-resolution images into high-resolution versions.
“Understanding terms like GAN (Generative Adversarial Network) matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
