What is the difference between a machine learning engineer and a Generative AI engineer?
At ProFocus, we differentiate between Machine Learning Engineers and Generative AI Engineers based on their areas of expertise. Machine Learning Engineers are involved in a broad spectrum of tasks from data preprocessing to deploying algorithms that enable machines to learn from data and make decisions. Their expertise covers various machine-learning techniques for a wide range of applications.
Generative AI Engineers, however, specialize in creating models that generate new, realistic data similar to their training sets. They focus on advanced neural networks like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and transformer models, aiming at innovative applications such as content creation and data simulation.
Overall, Machine Learning Engineers have a broad focus across multiple domains of AI, while Generative AI Engineers dive deep into the niche of generative models, a key area for creative and forward-thinking technology solutions.
