Build a powerful question answering bot with Amazon SageMaker, Amazon OpenSearch Service, Streamlit, and LangChain

One of the most common applications of generative AI and large language models (LLMs) in an enterprise environment is answering questions based on the enterprise’s knowledge corpus. Amazon Lex provides the framework for building AI based chatbots. Pre-trained foundation models (FMs) perform well at natural language understanding (NLU) tasks such summarization, text generation and question …

Transform your unstructured data with AI using BigQuery object tables, now GA

Today, the vast majority of data that gets generated in the world is unstructured (text, audio, images), but only a fraction of it ever gets analyzed. The AI pipelines required to unlock the value of this data are siloed from mainstream analytic systems, requiring engineers to build custom data infrastructure to integrate structured and unstructured …

Butterfly Effects: Digital Artist Uses AI to Engage Exhibit Goers

For about six years, AI has been an integral part of the artwork of Dominic Harris, a London-based digital artist who’s about to launch his biggest exhibition to date. “I use it for things like giving butterflies a natural sense of movement,” said Harris, whose typical canvas is an interactive computer display. Using a rack …

Probabilistic AI that knows how well it’s working

Despite their enormous size and power, today’s artificial intelligence systems routinely fail to distinguish between hallucination and reality. Autonomous driving systems can fail to perceive pedestrians and emergency vehicles right in front of them, with fatal consequences. Conversational AI systems confidently make up facts and, after training via reinforcement learning, often fail to give accurate …
