GLOSSARY
01
• An AI research organization, started in December 2015.
• Mission: To develop “safe and beneficial” artificial
generative intelligence.
• First GPT was introduced in 2018
• Introduced ChatGPT, a chatbot and virtual assistant, in
November 2022
• Today, ChatGPT-4o, released in May 2024
• It powers Microsoft Copilot, Apple Intelligence
• ChatGPT is credited for starting the AI boom, catalyzing
the widespread interest of generative AI.
https://openai.com/
● Use of prompts to generate various data using generative models.
● Chat Prompts
○ ChatGPT by OpenAI, Gemini by Google, LLaMA by Meta AI, Mistral, Claude by
Anthropic, Qwen by Alibaba, ERNIE by Baidu
● Text-to-Image models
○ DALL-E by OpenAI, Imagen by Google, Firefly by Apple, Midjourney by Midjourney,
Stable Diffusion by Stability AI, RunwayML by Runway AI
● Text-to-Video models
○ Sora by OpenAI, VideoPoet by Google, Runway by Runway AI
GenerativeAI
● Using the combination of Gen AI and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
○ RAG: a technique for enhancing the accuracy and reliability of generative AI models
with facts fetched from external sources.
● Human-like conversational skills
○ Fully understand customer intents, contexts and provide tailor services around their
exact need
● Enterprise knowledge.
○ Pre-train your GenAI with factual enterprise knowledge for superior query resolution,
● Adaptive learning
○ Improve your GenAI with new knowledge acquired from customer interactions to
provide better service skills.
AI Agents for your business
CASE STUDY
02
● Problem space:
○ Healthcare professionals doing consultations may have too many patient visits:
■ Medical records needs to accurately captured and filed.
■ Usually captured by an assistant for filing
● Problem: initial training to get up to speed with doctor speak.
● Problem: difficulty reading doctor’s handwriting.
■ Time consuming: Doctor may have to go for surgeries.
● Problem: peer review of captured record may happen late.
● Problem: remembering the conversation that is in the past.
● Solution:
○ Tool must:
■ Transcribe audio recording
● Multi-language support (English, Afrikaans and other supported native
languages)
● Able to identify multiple speakers from audio.
■ Text summarization and document generation from transcribed text
● GPTs to the rescue.
MEDICAL CONSULT TRANSCRIBING
PROBLEMS AND
CONCERNS
03
Varieties of AI companies to choose from
● IBM:
○ Watsonx
● Microsoft:
○ Various models available on Azure AI services
■ OpenAI, Mistral AI, Phi-3, Meta AI, Stability AI, Core42 (Arabic LLM), Nixtla, and
more.
● Google:
○ Vertex AI, includes PaLM2
○ Generative AI, includes Gemini
● Amazon Bedrock
○ AWS
○ Fully managed services that offer choices of high-performing foundational models
(FM) from leading AI companies
■ AL 21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, Amazon
● Oracle
○ Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Generative AI
Top tech cloud providers – For enterprise
customers.
● China’s investment into AI
○ Alibaba:
■ Alibaba
■ Qwen (own Gen AI)
○ Baidu:
■ Baidu AI Cloud
■ ERNIE (own Gen AI)
Top tech cloud providers – For enterprise
customers.
● Audio to text services are few:
○ Speaker diarization support (identify multiple speakers from audio conversations).
○ Multiple languages support (some don’t support local languages).
● Integration to their AI services:
○ Closed and proprietary, free and public (REST API), Cloud services
● Accuracy of the responses
○ Is text summarization accurate enough and does it understand context accordingly?
○ Do we have to refine the chat prompt assistant script to make the response
accurate?
● Data Privacy
○ Hide client personal information at all cost.
○ What data info can be shared to AI services?
○ Governance – US laws vs. SA laws
● Cost.
○ Network Bandwidth
○ Cost of using AI service (in USD).
○ Credit card is required to access AI upfront.
KEY PROBLEMS - CASE STUDY
Most have REST APIs
INTEGRATION WITH AI
● Input and Output price, per million tokens
COST
● Measured by tokens per second
OUTPUT SPEED
● Feeding the GenAI with facts.
○ Removing bias
○ Data cleanliness
○ Information overload
○ Context loss after consolidation
● Cost (too expensive)
○ LLM API
○ Embedding Model API
○ Vector database
BUILDING YOUR AI AGENT
SOLUTION.
04
● Transcribe with speaker diarization
○ Google Cloud Speech.
○ Converts speech-to-text.
○ Text returned, tagged orderly by speakers identified
● Text summarization:
○ Google Gemini
○ Prompt designed to understand transcribed text and generate document close to
medical records.
● APIs are open (REST)
○ Simple to integrate (written in Java).
● Not too cheap, not too expensive either.
CLOUD
● Not all AI APIs are the same.
● Joined the Eclipse Foundation to standardize AI APIs -> AI Framework for Java
○ Eclipse Microprofile for AI
○ One simple framework for developers to access any AI models from various providers
with ease.
Standardization of AI APIs.
FINALLY.
05
● A Non-profit Organisation that introduces kids to programming & robotics in
a fun way.
● Started in 2016, hosted various events countrywide.
● Won numerous awards:
○ 2020 – Dzone Community Award
○ 2023 – JCP Award (Java in Community). Awarded by Oracle US.
● Future plans
○ Host future event workshops
○ Provide full online courses online that schools, parents can use to teach kids at
home.
● Funding is always welcome!
