Tech Talk: Handling Secure Data in the Deployment of LLMs and Generative AI
Speaker: Protik Mukhopadhyay (Protecto.ai)
Abstract: This talk highlights Protecto.ai’s role in securing sensitive data across healthcare, banking, and the evolving realm of Large Language Models (LLMs) and Generative AI. We will explore: a) Healthcare: How tokenization protects patient data, aiding compliance with regulations like HIPAA; b)Banking: How AI-powered chatbots can handle customer inquiries and issues, providing round-the-clock service and still be compliant.

Tech Talk: Self-Hosting (Large Language) Models
Speaker: Christopher Davis (PMG)
Abstract: While many uses of GenerativeAI rely on hosted inference endpoints, most companies will eventually have some need to self-host models. Whether this is as part of an application, like an embedding model in a RAG pipeline, or via hosting their own inference endpoints with fine-tuned models. Self Hosting (Large Language) Models digs into how that might be done. With an example application, an example inference endpoint, infrastructure as code, and some focused introductions to relevant AWS services. These concepts are limited to generative AI, however, and can be applied broadly to any pre-trained model.
