About

The team and the project.

The Project

GenMedia is a small introductory site about Generative AI in multimedia. It was prepared as part of the Multimedia Systems (BMM601) course at the Syrian Virtual University, Spring 2026 semester. The submission deadline is 10 May 2026. The aim is to give a clear, plain-language overview of how AI generates images, audio, and video, and how the underlying models work. We wanted to cover more, but five days isn't a lot.
