Session 1: Utilising AI agents to Teach LLMs, such as Azure OpenAI's GPT-family, to Interact & Take Actions in the Real-world by Nikhil Sehgal

The main goal of this session is to delve deep into the intricacies of using AI agents to train LLMs (like the GPT-family hosted on Azure OpenAI) to not just respond to queries, but to interact with real-world environments and execute tasks seamlessly. For example, AI agents can go and execute tasks autonomously for regular IT support queries or sales queries. Businesses will eventually be able to "hire" these AI agents to fulfil an entire workflow. The space of AI agents is still very early, although it is arguably going to be one of the most impactful applications of AI.

Session 2: AI without Data is like Bonny without Clyde by Amy Boyd

In this session the core message is, don't forget about your data. AI is taking another huge leap in its journey, allowing us to be more efficient and productive in everything we do - its really exciting times! But AI workloads without data considerations could leave you in a difficult position. Lets chat about:

Preparing your data platform to enable building amazing AI applications
Bringing cutting edge models into the Microsoft Fabric experience
How has responsible AI moved on in the age of Generative AI?
