Abstract: On November 30, 2022, OpenAI launched ChatGPT, which rapidly garnered global attention and discussion due to its exceptional natural language processing capabilities, marking the official dawn of the Generative AI (GenAI) era. This presentation will systematically elucidate the core characteristics of generative AI and introduce common generative AI tools and platforms. Furthermore, it will share insights from a practical case study on leveraging generative AI to empower mathematics teacher education students in conducting microteaching case studies.
