Workshop
From Machine Learning to Trustable AI

Many have realised that our current state-of-the-art Artificial Intelligence still make mistakes, and these mistakes are not something that getting more quality data can help. Why is that so?

Using an example and demo, Koo will be sharing why that is the case, leading to the need for AI governance and more importantly the need to build Trustable AI, machines that can be trusted to perform per expectations. Koo will be sharing how business organisations can reach the “Trustable AI” stage of being able to leverage AI to continuously serve customers better.

Leveraging LLMs for Conversational Question-Answering

Customer inquiries about products often require cross-referencing information from multiple documents, making it difficult to provide timely and accurate responses.

Conversational question-answering (QA) applications, enhanced by recent advances in generative AI, are uniquely positioned to address these challenges by significantly improving response times and accuracy.

In this session, we will share our findings from developing a semi-autonomous pipeline that extends the capabilities of Retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) – without the need for fine-tuning – by incorporating concepts of Large Language Model (LLM) agents, driving better decision-making and enhancing user experience across industries.
