AI hype is everywhere, and so are the doomers. So where are we? Is AI the new oil? Electricity? Fire? The end of white-collar work? Coming for all of our jobs? The answer is all of this, and none of it. Let’s get practical and talk about where AI is and isn’t, especially when accuracy and authenticity are critical business functions.

'The Magic of The Pre-Trained Transformer'
Managing Director of GenAI, Lovelytics
Generative Pre-Trained Transformers (GPT), which underpin advanced GenAI technologies such as ChatGPT, are predominantly recognized for their 'Generative' functions. The current industry landscape emphasizes generative applications like chatbots and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems for tasks such as question-answering and summarization. However, this focus often neglects the significant potential of the 'pre-trained' transformer component, which is essential for numerous high-value applications that are currently under explored.
This session will examine the 'pre-trained' aspects of transformers and their application in various contexts. I will present a structured methodology for identifying and leveraging these use cases, categorize the types of applications that benefit from pre-trained models, and provide a practical demonstration to illustrate these principles.
