Introduction to Generative AI and Its Productization with Dr. HyunJoon Jung
Wednesday, October 30, 2024 4:30–5:30 PM (PT)
This talk provides an overview of generative AI, exploring its foundational principles, capabilities, and the underlying technologies that drive it. We will discuss how generative models, such as GPT and diffusion models, create new content and how they are trained using large datasets. The session will also cover the practical aspects of productizing generative AI, including strategies for integrating these technologies into products and services, best practices for deployment, and ethical considerations to ensure responsible use. By the end of the talk, attendees will have a comprehensive understanding of the generative AI landscape and the potential for building innovative solutions with it.
