Generative AI is a type of artificial intelligence that creates new content, such as text, images, or other media by learning from and combining pieces of existing data.

Quantitative and qualitative data are often positioned as opposing or complementary means of documenting impact. Data reports and personal snapshots are often generated separately, then placed side-by-side with the hope that the juxtaposition of hard metrics with an emotional picture and blurb will resonate with a wide range of people.
