Abstract:
Generative AI (GenAI) is an extremely powerful technology that enables vast achievements in automation, which were previously thought to be impossible. But despite these powerful capabilities, there are many obstacles that have made it difficult to operationalize this technology for practical use-cases. This presentation will look at some of the inherent technical challenges of GenAI implementations, and strategies that can be employed in order to make this technology more useable for real-world applications.
