Tech Talk: Build your own chatbot on AI PC
Speaker: Raymond Lo (Intel)
Abstract: Discover how to build your own Virtual AI Assistant using OpenVINO™ on your edge, AI PC or in the cloud, leveraging enhanced performance and powerful new features of the OpenVINO toolkit. Learn to integrate Large Language Models (LLMs) and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) to create versatile AI assistants tailored for any use case with the OpenVINO Gen AI API. Unlock optimized performance, simplified workflows, and unparalleled flexibility with OpenVINO. Plus, explore how OpenVINO isn’t limited to LLMs—it can also be seamlessly applied to image generation, text-to-speech, real-time object detection/segmentation showcasing its versatility across AI applications. AI assistant could be easily customized to different use cases, to enable users to build virtual assistant to their own needs with the open source tools and sample materials.

Tech Talk: AI for Business Intelligence/ETL
Speaker: Chretien Li (AIBI)
Abstract: In this session, I will discuss how AI can be leveraged for data pipelines, from ETL to BI and end-user dashboards. Forget pay thousands for BI software (powerBI/tableau) that wastes time, too much onboarding, high maintenance cost etc. We will demo AIBI, the lowest barrier to entry BI tool, due to advances in GenAI.
