Abstract

Generative artificial intelligence (AI) has significantly advanced the field of natural language processing (NLP), enabling machines to understand, generate, and interact in human language with unprecedented fluency and adaptability. This paper explores the technical foundations of generative AI, including neural networks, the evolution of language models, and the emergence of large-scale pre-trained architectures such as GPT, BERT, and T5. It further analyzes representative applications in NLP, such as automatic text generation, intelligent dialogue systems, neural machine translation, and code generation. In addition to showcasing real-world case studies, this study addresses key challenges, including model generalization, ethical concerns, computational demands, and multilingual adaptation. Finally, the paper discusses future directions such as multimodal integration, controllable and personalized generation, few-shot learning, and the convergence of generative AI with human-like intelligence. These developments point toward a future where generative models not only enhance language-based tasks but also contribute to the evolution of communication and knowledge creation across various domains.
