Mrinal of Intel Corporation

Abstract: As generative AI (GenAI) technologies advance, their impact on industries from healthcare to entertainment is undeniable, with a projected market value exceeding $110 billion by 2030. Gaining an understanding of GenAI solutions is crucial, not just for tech professionals but for anyone looking to stay relevant in an increasingly AI-driven world. We will walk through the core aspects of building GenAI solutions, covering foundational AI models, the art of prompt engineering, and the technical considerations for selecting Large Language Models (LLMs). Engaging in hands-on demonstrations will bring the technology to life. We will address significant challenges and risks, showcasing the dual-edged nature of these technologies. Ethical considerations will be at the forefront, emphasizing the necessity of responsible innovation. Through real-world examples, attendees will gain a clear understanding of GenAI's potential and pitfalls, equipped to navigate and contribute responsibly to this rapidly evolving field.
