Demystifying Generative AI

Everybody is talking about Generative AI and models that are better than anything else before. What are they really talking about?

In this workshop with some hands-on exercise, we will discuss Generative AI in theory and will also try it in practice (with free access to an Oracle LiveLab cloud session to learn about Vector Search).  You'll be able to understand what Generative AI is all about and how it can be used.

The content will include:

  • What is Generative AI?
  • What is LLM?
  • Interacting with LLM models
  • Prompt engineering
  • Vectors, embedding models and generating embeddings
  • Vector Search with Oracle Database 23ai
  • Understanding RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation)
