11. What is Generative AI?
Generative AI, also known as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), is a branch of
artificial intelligence that focuses on generating new data, such as images, texts, music,
etc. based on patterns and examples from existing data. It involves using machine
learning techniques to create models that can generate original and realistic outputs.
In a typical generative AI setup, there are two main components: the generator and the
discriminator. The generator's role is to produce new data based on a given input or a
set of learned features. The discriminator, on the other hand, tries to distinguish
between the generated data and real data. Both components are trained simultaneously
in a competitive manner, where the generator aims to generate content that can fool the
discriminator, while the discriminator aims to accurately identify real data from
generated data.
Through an iterative training process, the generator gradually improves its ability to
generate data that closely resembles the real examples it was trained on. This iterative
feedback loop between the generator and the discriminator helps the generative AI
system to refine its output and create more realistic and coherent content over time.
Generative AI has been applied in various fields, including image synthesis, video
generation, text generation, music composition, and more. It has shown great potential
for creative applications, data augmentation, and simulation, and it continues to
advance the capabilities of AI in generating new and original content.
Generative AI has evolved to become a disruptive force in enterprise applications.
Here’s a brief overview of this progression:
Early Machine Learning Techniques
The roots of generative AI can be traced back to early machine learning
techniques that aimed to develop algorithms capable of generating new data
based on patterns learned from existing data. Early approaches included simple
rule-based systems and probabilistic models.
Variational Autoencoders (VAEs) and Generative Adversarial Networks
(GANs)
In 2014, Ian Goodfellow as part of the Google Brain research team, introduced
Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs). As we said earlier, GANs consist of
10

12. two neural networks, a generator and a discriminator, which compete against
each other to produce realistic data. GANs demonstrated significant
breakthroughs in generating high-quality images, leading to advancements in
computer vision and creative applications, before it was applied to large
language models and text generation in particular.
In addition to GANs, VAEs also play a significant role in generative AI by
enabling the generation of new data samples that closely resembles the training
data distribution.
Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM)
RNNs, particularly with LSTM units, emerged as powerful models for generating
sequential data. LSTM networks demonstrated the ability to capture long-term
dependencies in data, making them suitable for tasks such as natural language
processing, speech recognition, and music composition.
Transformer Models and Attention Mechanism
The Transformer model was first introduced in 2017 revolutionizing language
processing tasks. Using self-attention mechanisms the Transformers capture
global dependencies in data, enabling them to generate coherent and
contextually relevant sequences.
Large Language Models (LLMs)
The previous steps led to the development of LLMs, such as OpenAI's GPT
series, and generative AI gained even more attention. LLMs are trained on
massive amounts of text data and can generate human-like responses, write
articles, compose poetry, and perform a wide range of natural language tasks.
These models showcase the power of generative AI in understanding and
generating human language. We will see LLMs models later in this book in more
detail.
Applications in Enterprise
Enterprises are starting to explore the potential of generative AI for various
applications. Content generation, customer service chatbots, personalized
marketing, data analysis, and creative design are just a few examples where
generative AI has found its footing. These applications have the potential to
11

13. streamline processes, enhance customer experiences, and drive innovation in
enterprise settings. We will get deeper into the applications of generative AI in
the enterprise in the coming chapters.
Industry-Specific Solutions
Generative AI has also a huge potential for industry-specific solutions. For
instance, in healthcare, generative AI is used to generate synthetic medical
images or predict disease outcomes. In finance, it helps with algorithmic trading
and portfolio optimization. These industry-specific solutions are just the tip of the
iceberg and showcase the versatility and disruptive potential of generative AI in
different domains, not just image or text generation.
Integration with productivity tools
Exciting developments are underway as generative AI is being seamlessly
integrated into popular tools such as Microsoft Office and Google Docs, with the
aim of enhancing productivity in our daily tasks. These integrations, which have
been announced and are currently in progress, hold the potential to revolutionize
how we work. While the precise extent of their impact on employee productivity is
yet to be fully determined, it is certain that these integrations will bring about
significant changes and improvements. The transformative capabilities of
generative AI embedded within these widely used tools are poised to unlock new
levels of efficiency, effectiveness, and innovation in our day-to-day work.
New search experience
In addition to its integration with productivity tools, generative AI is also making
its way into the web search experience, revolutionizing the fundamental way we
search for content across the World Wide Web. Although still in its early stages,
this development holds great promise and has the potential to bring about
transformative changes in the user experience. The adoption of this innovative
approach to information retrieval will have far-reaching effects, impacting various
aspects of content generation, website visibility, and even the online advertising
industry. As generative AI becomes more prevalent in search, we can expect
significant shifts in how we access and interact with online information.
To gain an understanding of how this transformative search experience may
appear, you can explore Microsoft Bing Chat and Google Bard. These platforms
12

14. offer a glimpse into the potential future of search, where generative AI plays a
central role. As the adoption of generative AI in search continues to evolve, we
can anticipate further enhancements and potential shifts based on the outcomes
observed by early adopters and the innovation spurred by a competitive
landscape. Moreover, with upcoming introductions from search engines like
Baidu and others, the search domain is poised for dynamic advancements that
will shape the way we discover and interact with online content.
The progression of Generative AI has been remarkable, transitioning from its early
stages as experimental technology to becoming a disruptive force within enterprise
applications. Despite its relative youth, it has showcased its transformative capabilities
and garnering recognition for its immense potential in various industries. The journey of
Generative AI exemplifies its remarkable growth and the impactful role it will play in
revolutionizing how enterprises operate and innovate.
In conclusion, the evolution of generative AI is characterized by rapid advancements in
deep learning, neural networks, and model architectures, fueled by intense competition
within the industry. As researchers and developers continue to push the boundaries, the
transformative potential of generative AI in enterprise applications will become more
and more evident. Generative AI will continue to disrupt and reshape various sectors,
fostering innovation and unlocking new levels of efficiency in the foreseeable future. The
ongoing progress presents a fascinating journey ahead, with endless possibilities for
transformative solutions and applications across industries.

16. Understanding the concepts
Transformer Models vs neural networks
Transformer models are neural networks that learn context and meaning by tracking
relationships in sequential data like the words in a sentence. They apply an evolving set
of mathematical techniques called attention or self-attention to detect subtle ways even
distant data elements in a series influence and relate to each other.
LLMs, like GPT, are based on the transformer architecture, which utilizes those
mentioned self-attention mechanisms to capture the relationships between words or
tokens in a sequence. Transformer based models excel at capturing long-range
dependencies and contextual information, making them well-suited for natural language
processing tasks.
Contextual Understanding
These models are designed to understand and generate text in a contextual manner.
They consider the entire input sequence and capture dependencies between tokens,
enabling them to generate coherent and contextually appropriate responses.
On the other side, traditional neural network-based models often process data in a fixed
window or local context. They may lack the same level of contextual understanding as
transformers, especially when dealing with longer sequences or dependencies that
span beyond the local context.
Pre-training and Transfer learning
Transformer models are often pre-trained on large-scale corpora using unsupervised
learning objectives. This pre-training allows them to learn language patterns and world
knowledge from vast amounts of text data, making them adept at generating text in a
wide range of domains. While traditional neural network-based models typically require
supervised training, where the models are trained on labeled data specific to the task at
hand. They may not benefit from the same pre-training and transfer learning capabilities
15

17. as transformer models, which limits their ability to generalize across different domains or
tasks.
Application Scope
LLMs, due to their language generation capabilities, are particularly suitable for natural
language processing tasks such as text generation, question-answering,
summarization, and language translation.
On the contrary, traditional neural network-based models find application in various
domains, including computer vision (image classification, object detection), speech
recognition, audio processing, and more.
It's worth noting that LLMs can be considered as a specific type of neural
network-based model, as they utilize the transformer architecture, which is a neural
network design. However, the term "neural network-based models" is more general and
encompasses a broader range of models that employ different architectures beyond
transformers, catering to various types of data and tasks.
Some examples of transformer based models include:
● GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer): GPT is a series of transformer-based
models developed by OpenAI. Notable versions include GPT-1, GPT-2, and
GPT-3. These models have been trained on massive amounts of text data and
are capable of generating coherent and contextually relevant text.
● BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers): BERT is a
transformer-based model developed by Google. It has achieved state-of-the-art
performance on various natural language processing (NLP) tasks, including
question-answering, sentiment analysis, and named entity recognition.
● RoBERTa (Robustly Optimized BERT Pretraining Approach): RoBERTa is an
optimized variant of BERT. It addresses some limitations of BERT's training
methodology and achieves even better performance on a range of NLP tasks.
● T5 (Text-to-Text Transfer Transformer): T5 is a transformer-based model
developed by Google. It is designed for a text-to-text framework, where different
NLP tasks are framed as text generation tasks. T5 has demonstrated strong
performance across various NLP benchmarks.
● Transformer-XL: Transformer-XL is a variant of the transformer architecture that
addresses the limitations of the original transformer model in handling long-range
16

18. dependencies. It achieves better performance on tasks involving long
sequences, such as language modeling and machine translation.
● GPT-Neo: GPT-Neo is an open-source, lightweight version of GPT developed by
EleutherAI. It aims to provide powerful language generation capabilities while
being more accessible and computationally efficient compared to the larger-scale
models.
Some non transformer based models:
● Feedforward Neural Networks (FNN): Also known as multi-layer perceptrons
(MLPs), FNNs are the most basic type of neural network. They consist of an
input layer, one or more hidden layers with nonlinear activation functions, and an
output layer. FNNs are widely used for tasks such as classification and
regression.
● Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN): CNNs are primarily used for image
processing tasks. They employ convolutional layers that apply filters to capture
local patterns and spatial relationships in images. CNNs have achieved
remarkable success in computer vision applications like object recognition and
image classification.
● Recurrent Neural Networks (RNN): RNNs are designed to process sequential
data by utilizing recurrent connections. They have a feedback mechanism that
allows information to persist, making them suitable for tasks involving sequences,
such as language modeling, speech recognition, and machine translation.
● Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) Networks: LSTMs are a specialized type of
RNN that addresses the vanishing gradient problem and can effectively capture
long-term dependencies in sequences. LSTMs have been widely used in
applications such as natural language processing, speech recognition, and
sentiment analysis.
● Autoencoders: Autoencoders are unsupervised learning models that aim to
learn efficient representations of input data. They consist of an encoder that
compresses the input data into a latent representation and a decoder that
reconstructs the original data from the latent representation. Autoencoders have
applications in dimensionality reduction, anomaly detection, and generative
modeling.
17

19. LLM
A Large Language Model (LLM) refers to a type of artificial intelligence model designed
to process and generate human-like text based on a vast amount of training data. LLMs
are typically based on deep learning techniques, specifically using recurrent neural
networks (RNNs) or transformer architectures.
LLMs are trained on a massive corpus of text data, such as books, articles, websites, or
other sources of written language. The training process involves exposing the model to
this large dataset, allowing it to learn the statistical patterns, grammar, context, and
semantic relationships present in the text.
The primary purpose of LLMs is to generate coherent and contextually appropriate text
given a specific prompt or input. These models have demonstrated remarkable
capabilities in natural language processing tasks such as translation, text completion,
summarization, question-answering, and even engaging in human-like conversations.
As we will see later in this book, notable examples of LLMs include OpenAI's GPT
(Generative Pre-trained Transformer) models, such as GPT-3, which have gained
significant attention for their ability to generate highly realistic and contextually relevant
text.
LLMs have the potential to be powerful tools for various applications, including content
generation, virtual assistants, language understanding, and aiding human-computer
interactions. However, LLMs also have limitations and can produce responses that are
plausible-sounding but factually incorrect or inappropriate. Therefore, careful
consideration and human oversight are necessary when utilizing LLMs to ensure the
reliability and ethical use of generated text.
Prompts
A prompt in the context of Generative AI models, including Large Language Models
(LLMs) like GPT, is the initial input that is given to the model to generate a response. It's
essentially the text or command that "prompts" the model to produce output.
For example, if you input "Tell me a joke" into the model, that's the prompt. The model
then uses this input, as well as its training on a massive dataset of text, to generate a
fitting output, like "Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything!"
18

20. The role of the prompt is very important, as it sets the context for what the model
generates. The model will try to complete the text in a way that it believes to be logical
and contextually appropriate, based on its training data.
The specificity and style of your prompt can greatly affect the quality of the output. A
more specific and detailed prompt generally leads to more specific and detailed output.
Also, if a prompt is written in a particular style (e.g., formal, casual, old-fashioned,
scientific, etc.), the model will often try to match that style in its output.
19

21. Does the same prompt generate the same response?
Generally, the model is designed to introduce randomness and variation, which means
that when you provide the same prompt, it will generate different responses. However,
we will explore this further later on.
Does prompts help to retrain LLM models?
Usually prompts are not directly used to retrain Large Language Models (LLMs) like
GPT-3 or GPT-4. Retraining an LLM typically involves feeding it a large dataset of text,
such as books, articles, and websites, and having the model learn the statistical
patterns of that data.
The prompts you give to the model during interactive use (like asking it to write a poem
or answer a question) do not typically go back into the training data. However, they can
be used for something called "fine-tuning," which is a process that follows initial model
training; we will see that in more detail later.
In any scenario, there is a theoretical possibility of using prompts to retrain LLM models
(Prompt recycling). This can be achieved through parameter-efficient methods, allowing
the models to learn task-specific soft prompts that influence their behavior. However, the
decision of whether to utilize prompts or not depends on the model architecture and
their understanding of the model's nature and intended purpose. Ultimately, it is up to
the model architect to determine if incorporating prompts aligns with the desired
outcomes and objectives of the model.
As a result of the prompt recycling, these learned prompts are closely linked to a
specific static model, meaning that if the model gets updated, new prompts must also
be relearned, and that would be expensive, time consuming and difficult to manage.
What Prompt Engineering means
Overall, prompt engineering is about understanding how an AI model interprets and
responds to different kinds of input, and using that understanding to get the model to
generate the desired output.
We have seen that a prompt can be as simple as a question or a statement, or more
complex with context and framing. The goal of prompt engineering is to maximize the
effectiveness of the model in understanding the input and providing the desired
response more accurately.
20

22. For example, let's say we want the model to generate a story about a dog named Bella
who loves to chase squirrels.
A simple prompt might be:
"Tell me a story about a dog."
The AI could respond to this prompt with a story about any dog, doing any kind of
activity. It is a very open-ended prompt, and the response may not be what we intended.
Now, let's consider a more engineered prompt:
"Write a story about a playful dog named Bella who loves to chase squirrels in
the park."
This prompt is much more specific. It mentions the dog's name, her character trait
(playful), and her favorite activity (chasing squirrels in the park). This gives the AI more
to work with, and it's far more likely that the generated output will align with our
expectations.
Prompt engineering can involve various strategies, including:
● Adding more context or details to the prompt.
● Phrasing the prompt as a question or a command.
● Framing the prompt to guide the model's "tone" of response.
Supervised vs Unsupervised learning
Supervised Learning
Supervised learning is a machine learning approach where the model learns from
labeled training data. In supervised learning, the dataset used for training consists of
input data (features) along with corresponding output labels or target values. The goal
of supervised learning is to train a model that can make predictions or classify new,
unseen data accurately based on the patterns learned from the labeled training data.
Key characteristics of supervised learning:
21

23. 1. Labeled Training Data: Supervised learning requires a dataset with labeled
examples, where each example includes both input features and the
corresponding correct output labels or target values.
2. Learning to Predict: The model is trained to learn the relationship between input
features and the target variable, enabling it to make predictions or classify new
instances accurately.
3. Evaluation with Test Data: The model's performance is evaluated using a
separate test dataset that contains labeled examples not seen during training.
This evaluation helps assess the model's generalization capabilities.
Unsupervised Learning
Unsupervised learning is a machine learning approach where the model learns from
unlabeled data without any explicit target variable or labels. The goal of unsupervised
learning is to discover underlying patterns, structures, or relationships in the data, often
in the form of clusters, dimensions, or representations, without any predefined notion of
what the output should be.
Key characteristics of unsupervised learning:
1. Unlabeled Training Data: Unsupervised learning uses unlabeled data, where only
input features are provided without corresponding output labels or target values.
2. Learning from Data Patterns: The model seeks to identify patterns, similarities, or
structures in the data without explicit guidance from labeled examples.
3. Exploration and Discoveries: Unsupervised learning allows for exploration,
discovering hidden insights, grouping similar data points, or dimensionality
reduction techniques to reveal important features.
Main Differences
1. Supervised learning requires labeled training data, while unsupervised learning
operates on unlabeled data.
2. Supervised learning focuses on learning the relationship between input features
and target labels to make predictions or classifications. Unsupervised learning
aims to discover patterns, structures, or relationships within the data.
3. In supervised learning, the model's performance can be evaluated and compared
using labeled test data, whereas unsupervised learning often relies on other
evaluation metrics like clustering quality or qualitative assessments.
22

24. It's important to note that there are also other learning paradigms, such as
semi-supervised learning, reinforcement learning, and more, each with its own
characteristics and use cases.
GPT
GPT stands for "Generative Pre-trained Transformer." It is a type of language model
that utilizes a deep learning architecture known as a Transformer. GPT models, such as
GPT-3 or GPT-4, are developed by OpenAI and have gained significant attention for
their ability to generate human-like text and perform a wide range of natural language
processing tasks.
The key feature of GPT models is that they are pre-trained on large amounts of text
data from the internet. This pre-training phase involves predicting the next word in a
sentence given the context of the previous words, which helps the model learn
grammar, syntax, and semantic patterns from the data. By training on such vast
quantities of text, GPT models acquire a broad understanding of language and develop
the ability to generate coherent and contextually relevant responses.
Once pre-training is completed, the models can be fine-tuned on specific tasks or
domains by providing them with additional training on more focused datasets. This
fine-tuning process allows GPT models to perform tasks like text completion, question
answering, text summarization, language translation, and much more.
As we pointed before, GPT based models have demonstrated impressive language
generation capabilities and are used in various applications, including chatbots, content
generation, virtual assistants, and language understanding tasks. Their ability to
generate coherent and contextually appropriate responses has made them valuable
tools in the field of natural language processing and AI-driven conversational systems.
Unimodal vs Multimodal
Unimodal
In simpler terms, unimodal refers to a system or approach that deals with just
one type of data or information. In the world of AI and machine learning, it means
working with and understanding data from a single source or modality. This could
23

25. be text, images, audio, or any other specific form of data. The focus is on
analyzing and processing data from that one particular source, without
considering other types of information.
Advantages of Unimodal Approaches:
● Simplified Processing: Unimodal approaches often involve simpler
processing pipelines since they deal with only one type of data, making it
easier to handle and analyze the information.
● Specialized Analysis: By focusing on a single modality, unimodal
approaches can employ specialized techniques tailored to the specific
characteristics and properties of that modality, potentially leading to more
accurate and efficient analysis.
Limitations of Unimodal Approaches:
● Limited Context: Unimodal approaches may miss out on rich contextual
information that can be derived from multiple modalities. For example,
analyzing an image without considering accompanying text may result in a
less comprehensive understanding.
● Incomplete Picture: When dealing with complex scenarios or tasks that
require a holistic understanding, unimodal approaches may provide an
incomplete picture since they are limited to a single modality.
Multimodal
Multimodal refers to a system or approach that incorporates and analyzes
multiple modalities or types of data. It involves processing and integrating
information from different sources, such as text, images, audio, etc.
Advantages of Multimodal Approaches:
1. Rich Contextual Understanding: Multimodal approaches leverage multiple
modalities to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the data,
capturing different perspectives and contextual cues. This can enhance
the accuracy and depth of analysis.
2. Cross-Modal Complementarity: Combining multiple modalities allows for
the fusion of complementary information. For example, combining text and
images in a multimodal model can enhance the understanding and
interpretation of visual content.
24

26. Limitations of Multimodal Approaches:
1. Increased Complexity: Multimodal approaches tend to be more complex
due to the need for integrating and processing multiple modalities. This
complexity can require more computational resources and sophisticated
algorithms.
2. Data Alignment Challenges: Integrating and aligning data from different
modalities can be challenging, especially when modalities have different
characteristics or formats. Ensuring synchronization and correspondence
between modalities can be a non-trivial task.
Overall, while unimodal approaches are simpler and can be effective for specific tasks
within a single modality, multimodal approaches have the advantage of capturing richer
contextual information and leveraging the complementary nature of different modalities.
Multimodal approaches are particularly useful in tasks such as image captioning, video
understanding, sentiment analysis, and human-computer interaction, where the
integration of multiple modalities leads to a more comprehensive and accurate analysis.
Dataset
In the context of generative AI, a dataset refers to a collection of information used to
train and evaluate the model. This information is typically composed of examples of the
kind of output the model is expected to generate.
For instance, if the goal is to create a language model like GPT, the dataset would
include a vast amount of text data. This could come from books, websites, or any other
written material. The model learns from this data, picking up patterns in sentence
structure, grammar, and word usage, which it then uses to generate new, similar text.
However, datasets aren't limited to text. For a generative AI model designed to create
images, the dataset would consist of a collection of images. For a music composition
model, it might be a library of melodies or musical scores.
It's important to remember that the quality and diversity of the dataset can significantly
impact the performance of the AI model. A well-curated dataset that represents a broad
range of examples will help create a more robust and versatile model. Conversely, a
25

27. dataset that's too narrow or biased can lead to a model that generates skewed or limited
output.
For a list of curated open source datasets that can be used for train your own machine
learning models take a look at: https://paperswithcode.com/datasets
Parameters
Refer to the internal variables or weights that the model learns during the training
process. Parameters are essential components of deep learning models, including
LLMs, as they determine the model's behavior and its ability to generate language.
LLMs, such as GPT-3, consist of multiple layers of neurons organized in a deep neural
network architecture. Each neuron in the network has associated parameters that
control its behavior and influence the model's overall output. These parameters are
learned through the training, where the model adjusts its internal weights based on the
input data and the desired output.
The number of parameters in an LLM is typically large, numbering in billions. The high
number of parameters enables the model to capture complex language patterns and
improve its ability to generate coherent and contextually appropriate responses.
During training, the parameters are updated using optimization algorithms like
stochastic gradient descent or its variants. The objective is to minimize a loss function
that measures the difference between the model's output and the desired output. By
iteratively adjusting the parameters based on the training data, the model gradually
improves its ability to generate high-quality text.
In summary, parameters represent the internal variables or weights that the model
learns during training. These parameters influence the model's behavior, language
generation capabilities, and its ability to understand and respond to input text.
26

28. These are some of the language models and the number of parameters that they are
trained on:

GPT-3 175 Billions
GPT-4 100 Trillions (not disclosed)
Bloom 176 Billions
Chinchilla 70 Billions

Mosaic ML 30 Billions
The more the parameters the better the performance of the model?
In general, language models with more parameters often perform better at generating
human-like text, but it's not a hard and fast rule. There are several factors to consider:
1. Training data: A larger model trained on a small or poor-quality dataset might not
perform as well as a smaller model trained on a large, high-quality dataset. The
diversity, quantity, and quality of the training data significantly impact the
performance of the model.
2. Overfitting: Very large models can "overfit" the training data, meaning they
become too specialized to that specific data and perform poorly on new, unseen
data.
3. Computational resources: Larger models require more computational power and
memory to run, which can be costly and might not be feasible for all applications.
27

29. 4. Diminishing returns: At some point, adding more parameters may result in only
minor improvements or even decrease the performance due to
over-parameterization.
5. Ethics and Safety: Larger models can be more challenging to control and may
generate inappropriate or harmful content, or exhibit biased behavior. Therefore,
careful testing and monitoring are required.
6. Fine-tuning and task-specific performance: Depending on the specific task,
fine-tuning a smaller model on a relevant, task-specific dataset might outperform
a larger, general-purpose model.
In a 2022 DeepMind's paper research they suggest that simply increasing the size of
language models is not necessarily the most effective or efficient way to improve their
performance. This contradicts the established approach put forth by OpenAI's Kaplan in
2020, which led to the creation of increasingly large models like GPT-3 and
Megatron-Turing NLG.
However, DeepMind argues that a critical aspect of scaling language models has been
overlooked - the quantity of training data. Their study ("Training Compute-Optimal Large
Language Models") posits that, given a fixed compute budget, it is just as important to
increase the number of training tokens (the amount of data the model is trained on) as it
is to increase model size.
DeepMind supports their theory with the results from their model, Chinchilla, which is
four times smaller than Gopher, but trained on four times more data. Despite its smaller
size, Chinchilla outperformed larger models, demonstrating that current large language
models are "significantly undertrained".
This research also suggests that smaller, more optimally trained models like Chinchilla
could be more accessible to smaller companies and institutions with limited resources,
extending the benefits of improved performance to a wider audience.
In short, while more parameters often lead to better performance in generating text, it's
just one aspect of building and deploying effective, safe, and efficient language models.
28

30. Compute
Compute refers to the computational resources required to train models. This includes
aspects such as processing power, memory, and storage, among others. The term is
often used to refer to the overall capacity of a system to perform complex calculations
that are necessary for training these models.
Key points:
● Processing Power: Training LLMs requires a significant amount of processing
power. This often means utilizing specialized hardware such as Graphics
Processing Units (GPUs) or Tensor Processing Units (TPUs) that are capable of
performing the numerous parallel calculations required for tasks such as matrix
multiplications which are common in machine learning models.
● Memory: LLMs often have a large number of parameters, and storing these
parameters during training requires a substantial amount of memory. In addition,
during training, additional memory is required to store intermediate values for
backpropagation.
● Storage: The data used to train LLMs can be quite large, requiring a significant
amount of storage. Furthermore, trained models also need to be stored.
● Energy Consumption: The extensive computation required to train LLMs leads
to significant energy consumption. This is a growing concern in the field of AI, as
the environmental impact of training large models can be substantial.
● Cost: All of the above factors contribute to the overall cost of computation. This
includes the cost of the hardware itself, as well as ongoing costs such as
electricity and cooling.
Given that compute budget is typically a constraining factor, pre-determined and
independent, the size of the model and the quantity of training tokens are unavoidably
dictated by the organization's financial ability to invest in superior hardware.
FLOPs
In the context of a generative AI model study, or comparison, when they refer to a "fixed
FLOPs budget", they mean that there's a limit to the total amount of computations
(measured in Floating Point Operations Per Second, or FLOPs) that can be performed
given the available resources. Balancing the size of the model and the number of
29

31. training tokens refers to optimizing how these limited resources are utilized to achieve
the best possible performance.
GPU
GPU stands for Graphics Processing Unit. While originally designed for rendering
images and videos in computer graphics applications, GPUs have found a significant
use case in the field of AI and machine learning. This is due to their ability to perform
parallel processing, that is, executing multiple computations simultaneously.
Deep learning and other machine learning algorithms involve a large number of matrix
and vector operations. These operations can be computed in parallel, which is where
GPUs come in handy due to their inherently parallel architecture. A GPU consists of
many cores (often hundreds or thousands) that can perform computations
simultaneously, making them highly efficient for the computational needs of AI
algorithms.
GPUs, therefore, enable faster processing of machine learning tasks compared to
traditional Central Processing Units (CPUs), which are designed to handle sequential
tasks. This is why GPUs are commonly used for training complex neural networks,
accelerating research, and reducing the time needed to obtain results.
Notable companies that manufacture GPUs include Nvidia, AMD, and more recently
Intel.
TPU
TPU stands for Tensor Processing Unit. It's a type of hardware developed by Google
specifically to accelerate machine learning workloads. They are designed to speed up
and scale up specific tasks, such as training neural networks, which are at the core of
modern AI and deep learning algorithms.
Unlike traditional processors (like CPUs) that handle a wide variety of tasks, TPUs are
application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs). This means they're custom-built to
execute specific types of calculations extremely efficiently. In the case of TPUs, these
calculations are tensor operations, which are a key part of many machine learning
algorithms. Hence the name, Tensor Processing Unit.
30

32. Google uses TPUs extensively in their data centers and also makes them available to
external developers through their Google Cloud services.
Tokens
A token is a unit of text that the model reads, processes, and generates. It can
represent a word, a character, or even a subword depending on how the model has
been trained.
Imagine that you are reading a book word by word. Each word you read could be
considered a token. Now, instead of reading, imagine you're writing a story word by
word. Each word you write could also be a token.
In language models, tokens are typically chunks of text. For example, in the sentence
"ChatGPT is awesome!", the model might see each word and the punctuation mark at
the end as separate tokens: ["ChatGPT", "is", "awesome", "!"].
These models are often trained and operate within a maximum token limit due to
computational constraints. For instance, GPT-3 works with a maximum of 2048 tokens.
This means the model can consider and generate text up to 2048 tokens long, which
includes the input and output tokens.
In terms of tokens, GPT-4 has two context lengths which decide the limits of tokens
used in a single API request. The GPT-4-8K window allows tokens up to 8,192 tokens,
and the GPT-4-32K window has a limit of up to 32,768 tokens (up to 50 pages) at one
time.
So, tokens are the building blocks that AI models use to understand and generate text.
GPT-3 and similar models actually use a tokenization strategy that splits text into
chunks that can be as small as one character or as large as one word. This approach is
based on a method called Byte-Pair Encoding (BPE), which helps manage the tradeoff
between having too many tokens (like a character-based approach) and too few tokens
(like a word-based approach).
Here's a simplified explanation: Let's say you're reading a book, and you come across
the word "unhappiness". Instead of treating "unhappiness" as a single token, the BPE
method might split it into smaller tokens like ["un", "happiness"] or even ["un", "happy",
"ness"], depending on what token divisions it has learned are most useful. This is
31

33. because the model has learned that "un-" is a common prefix and "-ness" is a common
suffix in English, and "happy" is a common word.
So, while individual characters can be tokens in GPT-3 and similar models, in practice,
most tokens represent subwords or whole words thanks to the BPE method. This
approach makes the model more efficient and flexible in handling a wide variety of
words and word parts.
Vocabulary
The term vocabulary refers to the set of unique tokens, or symbols that the model is
trained to recognize and use.
The vocabulary plays a crucial role in defining the expressive capability of the model.
The larger and more diverse the vocabulary, the more capable the model is in
understanding and generating diverse and rich language. However, having a larger
vocabulary also increases the complexity of the model and can require more resources
for training.
In other types of generative models, such as those used for generating images or
music, the concept of "vocabulary" might be interpreted differently, but the underlying
principle remains the same: it's about the set of unique elements that the model is
trained to recognize and generate.
Training
Training refers to the process of teaching a generative model to understand patterns in
data and generate new data that closely mimics the input data.
32

34. This process involves feeding the model a large dataset and allowing it to learn the
underlying structure and characteristics of this data. The model's goal is to understand
the distribution of data in the training dataset so that it can generate new samples from
the same distribution.
For example, in the case of a text-based generative AI model like GPT-4, the training
process involves feeding the model a large amount of text data. The model learns from
this data by trying to predict the next word in a sentence given the previous words. Over
time, the model improves its ability to generate text that is syntactically and semantically
similar to the input data it was trained on.
In general, the quality of a generative AI model's output heavily depends on the quality
and quantity of the training data it has been provided. More diverse and representative
training data typically leads to a model that can generate more realistic and varied
output.
While GPT-4 was trained on a 45GB data corpus and GPT-3 on 17GB, there are other
LLMs demonstrating that more training data doesn't necessarily translate to higher
quality. It may be that focusing on fine-tuning the model is more important than the
volumes of data used in training.
Fine-tuning
Fine-tuning is the process that comes after the initial training of the AI model on a large
dataset. Fine-tuning is performed to adapt the general capabilities of the model to more
specific tasks or to adjust the model's behavior according to specific criteria, and is one
of the most important processes in generative AI.
To understand this, imagine the general training process as teaching a student a broad
range of topics in school. This is like training an AI model on a large dataset, where it
learns a lot about language, facts, reasoning, etc.
However, once this general education is over, the student might decide to specialize in a
particular field, like medicine or law. To do so, they would need to go to medical school
or law school, where they will 'fine-tune' their knowledge and skills to excel in these
specific fields.
Similarly, after a generative AI model has been trained on a large dataset, it can be
fine-tuned on a smaller, more specific dataset. For instance, if we wanted the model to
generate medical advice, we might fine-tune it on a dataset of medical textbooks. If we
33

35. wanted the model to generate legal documents, we might fine-tune it on a dataset of
legal texts.
Fine-tuning is also used to align the AI's behavior with societal norms and ethical
considerations. For example, fine-tuning can help prevent the model from generating
inappropriate or harmful content. In this sense, fine-tuning serves as a way of instilling
certain values or guidelines in the AI system.
Does fine-tune require retraining the entire model?
No, there's no need to retrain the entire model. Fine-tuning involves utilizing the
pretrained weights from the general model and further training it with your specific data.
This approach usually focuses on training only the models responsible for the specific
task at hand, such as classification, rather than training the entire data representation
model. These task-specific models, often consisting of just a few densely connected
layers, can be trained much more efficiently compared to the representation model. By
fine-tuning in this manner, you can achieve desired performance without the need for
extensive and costly training of the entire model from scratch.
If the model is re-trained do you have to fine tune again?
If a generative AI model undergoes retraining, fine-tuning is typically necessary.
Similarly, when transitioning from one model version to another, like moving from GPT-3
to GPT-4 or a newer version, fine-tuning becomes necessary. For instance, if you have
fine-tuned the GPT-3 model using your proprietary data to align with your business
needs, and later decide to upgrade to GPT-4 or a more recent version, you would need
to go through the fine-tuning process again. This ensures that the model is adjusted and
refined based on the updated architecture and characteristics of the new version,
allowing it to continue generating outputs that meet your specific requirements.
Overfitting and Underfitting
Overfitting occurs when a model learns the training data too well and performs poorly on
new, unseen data. Underfitting occurs when the model fails to learn the underlying
patterns in the data. Both overfitting and underfitting are common problems that we
need to take care of when training generative models.
34

36. Mode Collapse
This is a specific problem in Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), GANs can face
an issue known as "mode collapse," where the generator starts to produce only a
limited variety of samples, or even the same sample repeatedly, regardless of the
changes in the input noise vector. The input noise vector is the random seed used to
generate new data instances.
Imagine you're playing a game of 'pretend' with your friend. You're the one coming up
with stories (like the generator in our model), and your friend is guessing whether your
story is made up or real (like the discriminator).
Now, suppose you found a particular story that your friend always believes. So, you
keep repeating that story or just changing a tiny bit each time. This would be similar to
what happens in GANs "mode collapse". The 'story maker' part of the model finds a
'story' that the 'story guesser' always believes, so it keeps telling that one over and over.
This is a problem because we want our 'story maker' to come up with lots of different
and exciting stories, not just keep repeating the same one!.
This is problematic because it means the GAN is not effectively learning the full
complexity and diversity of the original data. Instead, it's taking the easy route by
repeatedly generating instances that have fooled the discriminator before. This results
in less useful outputs and limits the ability of the GAN to generate novel, diverse data
instances, which is one of the primary goals of a GAN in the first place.
Avoiding mode collapse is one of the challenges in training GANs and researchers are
constantly seeking new methods and techniques to mitigate this issue and improve the
diversity and quality of the generated data.
Bias
Bias in the context of generative AI refers to the tendency of these models to lean
35

37. towards specific types of output or predictions. This bias often results from the data that
the model was trained on.
For example, if a language model has been trained on a large amount of English
literature, it might be more likely to generate text in a similar style or use certain phrases
that are common in that literature. This is a type of bias because the model is favoring a
specific kind of output.
However, bias can also emerge in more problematic ways. If the training data includes
discriminatory language or stereotypes, the model can learn and replicate these biases.
For instance, it might associate certain jobs or roles with a specific gender or make
assumptions based on race. These are harmful biases that AI researchers work hard to
mitigate.
There are also different types of biases in generative AI models. Some of these are:
● Data Bias: This refers to biases that arise from the training data itself. If the
training data is not diverse or representative enough, the model may learn and
perpetuate biases present in the data.
● Algorithmic Bias: This occurs when biases are introduced during the design or
implementation of the generative AI algorithm. It can result from the choice of
model architecture, training methods, or objective functions.
● Cultural Bias: Cultural biases can emerge in generative AI models, reflecting
societal norms, stereotypes, or prejudices that are present in the training data or
the broader cultural context.
● Contextual Bias: Contextual biases arise when generative AI models generate
outputs that are biased based on the context in which they are used. The model
may produce different responses or outcomes depending on factors such as user
demographics, location, or other contextual information.
● Personalization Bias: Personalization bias occurs when generative AI models
tailor their outputs to specific individuals or user groups, potentially reinforcing
existing beliefs or preferences and limiting exposure to diverse perspectives.
Some of the approaches and techniques for bias detection includes:
● Pre-training Evaluation: Before fine-tuning or deploying a generative AI model,
an evaluation can be conducted to assess the model's potential biases. This
involves analyzing the model's outputs on a range of test inputs to identify any
patterns of bias.
36

38. ● Corpus Analysis: Analyzing the training data corpus can help detect potential
biases in the input data. This involves examining the distribution of attributes
such as gender, race, or other sensitive attributes in the training data and
assessing if any biases are present.
● Counterfactual Evaluation: Counterfactual evaluation involves modifying the
input data to create counterfactual scenarios and evaluating how the model
responds. By comparing the model's outputs in different scenarios, biases can be
identified.
● User Feedback: Collecting feedback from diverse users can provide valuable
insights into potential biases in generative AI models. User feedback can help
identify instances where the model's outputs may exhibit biases or unfairness.
● Bias Metrics and Indicators: Developing metrics and indicators specifically
designed to measure bias in generative AI outputs can be an effective approach.
These metrics can quantify various forms of biases, allowing for more objective
evaluation and comparison across different models.
It's important to note that bias detection should be an ongoing and iterative process.
Regular monitoring, feedback collection, and continuous evaluation are essential to
identify and address biases.
Toxicity
Toxicity generally refers to the harmful, offensive, or inappropriate content that an AI
might generate.
Let's take an example. If you and your friends are playing a game where you create
sentences or stories, you would expect everyone to say things that are kind and
respectful. Now, imagine one of your friends starts saying mean, rude, or inappropriate
things. That wouldn't be nice, right? That's what we call 'toxicity' in real life.
In a similar way, generative AI systems are like your friends in the game. They can
generate sentences or stories based on what they've learned. However, if an AI system
has learned from information that includes mean, rude, or inappropriate language, it
might end up using that kind of language in its output. That's what we call 'toxicity' in the
context of AI.
Just like we teach people to be nice and respectful, we should also teach AI systems
the same. This way, they won't produce any toxic or harmful content.
37

39. Dealing with toxicity in generative AI models is a complex task and the models are not
perfect. The goal is to make them as safe and useful as possible, while avoiding
generating harmful or inappropriate content.
How typically a generative AI model deals with toxicity?
Through a process that involves training, fine-tuning, and post-generation filtering.
We have previously gone through the fine-tuning process and how this process works
for bias, the same principles for fine-tuning apply, to at some degree, avoid toxic content
generation.
Post-generation filtering, on the other side, is a process that happens after the model is
trained and fine-tuned, and happens after the content is generated, ensuring that the
output is not toxic or harmful and if it is, the process catches it and stops it from being
shown. Is like a supervisor checking a work before it is disclosed.
Other considerations
Alongside bias and toxicity, several other considerations are key when designing,
training, and deploying generative AI models.
● Data Privacy and Confidentiality: Generative AI models are often trained on large
datasets that could include sensitive information. It's crucial to ensure this data is
anonymized and that the model does not inadvertently generate sensitive or
private information.
38

40. ● Interpretability and Transparency: It's important for users (and the developers
themselves) to understand why an AI model makes the decisions it does. This
helps build trust in the model and allows for more effective troubleshooting.
● Robustness and Generalization: The AI should be able to handle a wide range of
inputs and scenarios, including those it may not have encountered during
training. It should also be resilient to attempts at tricking or misleading it.
● Fairness: The model should treat all individuals and groups fairly. It should not
favor one group over another based on characteristics such as race, gender,
age, etc.
● Factual Accuracy: The information generated by the model should be as
accurate as possible. Misinformation can lead to confusion or harm.
● Control and Customization: Users should be able to easily control the behavior of
the AI and customize it to their needs and preferences.
● Safeguard Measures: The model should have safeguards against generating
inappropriate or harmful content, even if a user tries to prompt it to do so.
● Accountability: There should be mechanisms in place for holding the AI and its
developers accountable for the outcomes it produces.
Hallucinations
Refers to a situation where the AI model generates information or details that are not
present or suggested in the input data. In other words, the AI is creating or "imagining"
content that isn't grounded in its training data or the prompt given.
For instance, if you were to give a generative AI a sentence to complete, like "The cat
sat on the...", it might continue with "...blue mat". If the color of the mat was not
specified in the initial input or the training data, the AI model is "hallucinating" the color
blue.
While this capacity can sometimes be beneficial for creative tasks, it can also be a
downside if the model starts producing false or misleading information, which is a
challenge when striving for accurate and reliable AI-generated content. Dealing with
hallucinations is an active area of research and development.
Here are a few approaches that are commonly used to address hallucinations:
● Train the model with more data to improve their accuracy and reduce the
likelihood of hallucinations.
39

41. ● Fine-tuning and Data Filtering: Fine-tuning the generative AI model with
specific data and applying data filtering techniques can help reduce
hallucinations. By training the model on curated and high-quality data, the
likelihood of generating false or misleading information can be minimized.
● Confidence Scoring: Assigning confidence scores to the generated outputs can
help identify and filter out hallucinations. The model can be designed to generate
outputs with varying levels of confidence, and only outputs with high confidence
scores can be considered reliable.
● Post-processing and Filtering Mechanisms: Implementing post-processing
techniques, such as rule-based filters or language constraints, can help identify
and filter out hallucinatory outputs. These mechanisms can be designed to reject
or modify outputs that deviate too far from factual or plausible information.
● Human-in-the-Loop Validation: Incorporating human validation or review
processes can be an effective way to identify and eliminate hallucinations.
Human reviewers can verify the accuracy and reliability of the generated outputs,
ensuring that hallucinatory content is not propagated.
● Adversarial Training: Adversarial training involves exposing the generative AI
model to perturbed or manipulated inputs to improve its resilience against
generating hallucinations. By training the model to resist generating misleading
or false information, hallucinations can be reduced.
Attention or self-attention
In models like Transformers and GPT, attention is a mechanism that determines how
the model should focus on different parts of the input data when generating an output. It
helps the model to prioritize certain aspects of the input when deciding what to generate
next.
In a nutshell, the attention mechanism allows the model to "pay attention" to relevant
information and "ignore" less important information. This is especially useful in tasks like
text generation, where the meaning of a word often depends on its context.
Here's a simplified explanation:
Let's say you're telling a story, and you mention a cat early on. Later, you say, "She was
very playful." Even though you haven't said the word "cat" in a while, you understand
that "she" probably refers to the cat. An attention mechanism helps the AI model
40

42. understand these kinds of connections in a similar way. It helps the model "pay
attention" to the important parts of the story, even if they happened a while ago.
In more technical terms, attention in these models calculates a weight for each input
token based on its relevance for predicting the next token. The tokens that are deemed
more important get higher attention scores. These scores are used to create a weighted
sum that is used in predicting the next token in the sequence.
Inference
Refers to the process by which the trained AI model generates output given some input.
Let's say you've trained a language model on a huge amount of text data. After this
training phase, the model has learned the structure, patterns, and semantics of the
language. Now, when you provide a new input to this model (like the start of a
sentence), the model will use its learned knowledge to generate or 'infer' the next part of
the sentence, thus creating new text that wasn't in its original training data but is similar
in style and coherence.
So, in simple terms, inference is the stage where the AI model applies what it has
learned during training to new data. In the case of a generative AI model, it's creating
new output that's similar to its training data.
41

43. Imagine if you've been reading a lot of books about dinosaurs. You've learned what they
look like, what they eat, where they lived, and so on. This is like the training part for an
AI.
Now, let's say your friend asks you to draw a picture of a dinosaur or tell a story about a
dinosaur. You'll use all the knowledge you learned from the books to draw the picture or
tell the story. This is like the inference part for an AI.
Just like you use what you learned from the dinosaur books to draw a picture or tell a
story, an AI uses what it learned from its training data to generate new outputs.
Randomness and Variation
Randomness and variation refer to the fact that AI models don't always produce the
exact same output for the same input. Instead, they introduce some level of
randomness to generate varied responses.
For instance, think about a game of "I Spy" where you need to find something green.
There could be many green items around you – a tree, a toy dinosaur, a leaf, a drawing.
So, each time you play the game, you could "spy" something different even though the
clue "something green" is the same.
Similarly, if you ask an AI model a question, it might not always give the exact same
answer each time, even though the question is the same. This is because of the
randomness and variation built into it. It's like the AI is playing its own kind of "I Spy"
game with the information it knows, and it can pick a different "green thing" each time,
so to speak. This makes the AI model more interesting, flexible and creative, but also
more unpredictable.
This characteristic can also lead to occasional mistakes. Fundamentally, the models
can't distinguish between what's correct and what's not. They aim to provide answers
that appear reasonable and in line with the data they've learned from.
42

44. So, for instance, a model might not always select the most probable next word, but
rather the second or third most probable one. If this is overdone, the responses can
become nonsensical, which is why Large Language Models (LLMs) constantly evaluate
and adjust themselves. The response a chatbot gives is partly influenced by the input it
receives, which is why you can request these models to simplify or complicate their
answers.
SSI score
The Sensibility, Specificity, and Interestingness (SSI) score is a measure used to
evaluate the quality and performance of a text generation model, particularly in the
context of natural language generation.
Sensibility refers to the degree to which the generated text makes sense and is
grammatically correct. It assesses whether the output is coherent and aligns with the
given context or prompt.
Specificity measures the extent to which the generated text accurately addresses or
focuses on the intended topic or information. It evaluates whether the model stays
on-topic and provides relevant details.
Interestingness gauges the level of novelty, creativity, or engagement in the generated
text. It determines whether the output is unique, engaging, or adds value beyond a
simple factual representation.
The SSI score combines these three aspects to provide an overall assessment of the
quality and effectiveness of the generated text. By considering sensibility, specificity,
and interestingness, the SSI score aims to capture a holistic view of the generated
content and its relevance to the given task or context.
The SSI score is a human-judged metric, which means that human evaluators or judges
are involved in assessing and assigning the scores. Instead of relying solely on
automated or algorithmic methods, the evaluation of the generated text is done by
humans who have the ability to understand and interpret the nuances of language.
Human judges are typically provided with specific guidelines or criteria to evaluate the
sensibility, specificity, and interestingness of the generated text. They read and analyze
the outputs generated by the model and assign scores based on their subjective
judgment and expertise. The judges consider factors such as grammar, coherence,
43

45. relevance to the given prompt, accuracy, and the overall quality of the generated
content.
Using human judgment for evaluation allows for a more nuanced and contextual
assessment of the generated text. It takes into account factors that may be challenging
for automated methods to capture accurately. Human judges can identify subtle
nuances, contextual references, and creativity that might be missed by purely
automated approaches.
By relying on human judgment, the SSI score aims to provide a more comprehensive
and human-centric evaluation of the generative AI models' performance. It helps
capture the quality and effectiveness of the generated text from a human perspective,
allowing for a more reliable and realistic assessment.
RLHF
Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF) is an approach in the field of
machine learning and artificial intelligence that combines elements of reinforcement
learning (RL) and human feedback to train an AI agent. Traditional reinforcement
learning involves an agent learning through trial and error by interacting with an
environment and receiving rewards or penalties based on its actions. RLHF extends this
approach by incorporating human feedback to guide the learning process.
In RLHF, humans provide feedback to the agent in the form of demonstrations or
evaluations. Demonstrations involve humans explicitly showing the desired behavior or
providing examples of optimal actions in various situations. Evaluations, on the other
hand, involve human rating or providing feedback on the agent's actions or
performance.
The feedback from humans is used to refine the agent's policies and improve its
decision-making. The agent leverages this feedback to learn from both its own
experiences and the human guidance, leading to more efficient learning and potentially
better performance in complex tasks.
RLHF has applications in various domains, including robotics, gaming, and natural
language processing. It enables the agent to learn from human expertise and can be
particularly useful when it is difficult or time-consuming to define an optimal reward
signal for the agent through traditional reinforcement learning methods.
44

46. One significant hurdle in RLHF is the scalability and expense associated with obtaining
human feedback. Compared to unsupervised learning, acquiring human feedback can
be a time-consuming and costly process. Moreover, the quality and consistency of
human feedback may vary depending on factors such as the task, interface, and
individual preferences of the humans involved. Despite the feasibility of obtaining
human feedback, RLHF models may still exhibit undesired behaviors that escape
human feedback or take advantage of loopholes in the reward system. This highlights
the challenges of ensuring alignment with desired objectives and maintaining
robustness in RLHF approaches.
Memorization
Memorization refers to the model's ability to retain and reproduce specific pieces of
information from the data it was trained on.
For example, if an LLM was trained on a dataset that includes the sentence "Paris is the
capital of France," the model might "memorize" this fact. Then, when asked "What is the
capital of France?" The model can provide the correct answer because it "remembers"
this information from its training data.
However, it's important to clarify that this kind of "memorization" isn't the same as
human memory. The model doesn't actually understand or consciously remember
information like a human would. Instead, it learns patterns in the data during training
and uses those patterns to generate responses.
The problem arises when models memorize sensitive information, like personal details
in the data they were trained on. This can be a privacy concern, as the model could
potentially reproduce that sensitive information in its responses.
Minimizing memorization in large language models (LLMs) is a challenging but crucial
aspect of their development, especially considering privacy concerns.
Here are some techniques that can be used:
● Differential Privacy: This method introduces random noise into the training
process, making it harder for the model to learn specifics about the individual
data instances.
45

47. ● Data Sanitization: Before training, the data can be sanitized to remove sensitive
information. This could be anything from personally identifiable information (PII)
to proprietary details.
● Frequentist or Bayesian Regularization: These methods control the complexity
of the model and prevent it from learning the training data too well, hence
reducing overfitting and memorization.
● Distillation: This is a process where a smaller model (student) is trained to
reproduce the behavior of a larger model (teacher). The student model is less
capable of memorization due to its smaller size.
● Use of Synthetic or Augmented Data: By using synthetic or augmented data,
the risk of the model memorizing sensitive real-world data is minimized.
Remember, these methods have their own trade-offs and may not completely eliminate
the risk of memorization. They should be used in combination, along with careful testing
and monitoring.
Layers
Refers to the architecture of neural networks.
Neural networks are inspired by the human brain and are made up of interconnected
nodes, or "neurons," which are organized into layers. These layers can be broken down
into three main types:
Input Layer: This is the first layer of the network where data (like text, images, or
sound) enters the system.
Hidden Layer(s): These are the layers between the input and output layers. The
term "deep" in deep learning refers to the presence of multiple hidden layers in a
neural network. Each hidden layer is responsible for learning and extracting
different features from the data.
Output Layer: This is the final layer where the network provides its prediction or
classification based on the input data and the learned features.
46

48. In generative AI models like GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer), there are
multiple layers of transformers, and each layer helps in understanding the context of
data, creating representations, and generating outputs.

50. Most representative LLM Models
OpenAI
GPT-1
Introduced by OpenAI in 2018, GPT-1, is the first iteration of the Generative Pre-trained
Transformer (GPT) model
GPT-1 was primarily trained in an unsupervised manner, for language modeling tasks.
As we said before, it was trained on a large corpus of internet text, learning to predict
the next word in a sequence of words given the preceding context. This training enabled
GPT-1 to develop an understanding of grammar, syntax, and semantic relationships in
natural language. His 117 million parameters contributed to its ability to capture complex
language patterns and generate coherent text responses.
Excelled in understanding and generating text in context. It could take into account the
preceding words or tokens to generate appropriate and contextually relevant responses.
Along with that, was delivered allowing it to be fine-tuned on specific downstream tasks
with smaller, task-specific datasets. This made it adaptable to a range of natural
language processing tasks, such as text completion, summarization, and question
answering.
While subsequent iterations of GPT models have introduced significant advancements,
GPT-1 laid the foundation for the success and development of subsequent models in
the GPT series.
GPT-2
GPT-2, the successor to GPT-1, introduced several notable features and improvements
over its predecessor.
GPT-2 was significantly larger than GPT-1, with 1.5 billion parameters compared to
GPT-1's 117 million parameters. This increase in size enhanced the model's capacity to
capture more complex language patterns and generate more coherent and contextually
appropriate responses.
49

51. Demonstrated improved language generation capabilities. It produced text that was
more coherent and exhibited a higher level of understanding compared to GPT-1. Also
introduced the concept of "prompts," allowing users to provide an initial input to guide
the generated text towards a specific topic or style. This feature provided more control
and customization options for generating desired outputs.
Showcased the ability to perform zero-shot and few-shot learning. This means that the
model was able to generate reasonable responses for tasks it was not specifically
trained on, as well as adapt to new tasks with minimal examples or instructions. At the
same time, In this new version of the GPT series, OpenAI, incorporated a modified
training approach that included more diverse and higher-quality data. This resulted in
the model being exposed to a broader range of linguistic patterns and improved its
language understanding capabilities.
GPT-2's release garnered significant attention due to concerns about potential misuse
of the model for generating fake news or malicious content. As a result, OpenAI initially
limited the release of the full model and instead released a smaller version.
GPT-3
After GPT-2, it was the subsequent version, GPT-3, that truly propelled the excitement
and widespread adoption of generative AI to new heights.
GPT-3 set a new benchmark in terms of model size, with a staggering 175 billion
parameters, making it significantly larger than GPT-2's 1.5 billion parameters. This
increase in model size allowed GPT-3 to capture even more complex language patterns
and exhibit a higher level of language understanding. Exhibited remarkable
advancements in language generation, demonstrating a higher level of coherence,
context sensitivity, and the ability to generate more human-like text compared to the
previous versions.
Showed an improved understanding of context, allowing it to generate more accurate
and relevant responses based on given inputs (prompts), and outperformed the ability
to maintain coherent and consistent conversations over longer interactions.
GPT-3 is available in various model sizes, ranging from few-shot models to much larger
models with billions of parameters. This allows users to choose the model size based
on specific requirements, balancing trade-offs between computational resources and
50

52. performance. These models are available to choose from OpenAI’s API, while chatGPT
uses the most powerful model, davinci, by default.

Despite its impressive capabilities, GPT-3 still struggles with certain types of reasoning,
such as understanding nuanced or commonsense-based questions and could
occasionally provide incorrect or nonsensical responses, highlighting some of the
limitations of large-scale language models.
GPT-3 has represented a significant leap forward in terms of model size, language
generation quality, and versatility. Its massive scale and improved language
understanding made it a powerful tool for a wide range of natural language processing
tasks, further demonstrating the potential of large-scale language models.
51

53. GPT-3.5
Introduced in March 2022, takes a step beyond GPT-3, embodying more advancements
to closely mimic human cognition and comprehend human emotions. One of its key
enhancements is its capability to curtail toxic output, an issue previously associated with
GPT-3.
GPT-3.5 features Reinforcement Learning with Human Feedback (RLHF) during the
fine-tuning phase of large models, making it more adept at sentiment analysis. The
RLHF technique utilizes human responses to guide the machine's learning and growth
process during its training. The primary aim of RLHF is to infuse knowledge into the
models, enabling more precise expertise, sentiment-analyzed output, and multitasking
capabilities. The renowned ChatGPT, rolled out in November 2022, relied on the
fine-tuning of GPT-3.5 to execute numerous tasks concurrently with high accuracy.

54. GPT-4
GPT-4 is substantially larger than GPT-3 and GPT-3.5, with a higher number of
parameters. This makes it possible for GPT-4 to process and create content that is
more accurate and rich in context. GPT-4 has 45 gigabytes of training data as opposed
to GPT-3’s 17 gigabytes, and therefore provides results that are substantially more
accurate than GPT-3.
Another difference between the two is that GPT-3 is unimodal, meaning it can only
accept text inputs. It can process and generate various text forms, such as formal and
informal language, but can’t handle images or other data types. GPT-4, on the other
hand, is multimodal. It can accept and produce text and image inputs and outputs,
making it much more diverse.
GPT-4 exhibits human-level performance on various professional and academic
benchmarks. It has passed a simulated bar exam with a score around the top 10% of
test takers. GPT-4 also exhibited consistent performance across all subspecialties, with
accuracy rates ranging from 63.6% to 83.3%.
While the disparity between GPT-4 and GPT-3.5 models may not be substantial for
simpler tasks, the true differentiating factor emerges in more intricate reasoning
scenarios. GPT-4 exhibits significantly enhanced capabilities compared to all prior
OpenAI’s models, enabling more sophisticated and advanced problem-solving.
In a nutshell, GPT-4:
● Is capable of accepting both visual and textual inputs to produce textual output.
● Is focused on truthfulness, GPT-4 strives to mitigate misinformation and deliver
texts rooted in facts.
● Displays an impressive ability to adapt, GPT-4 can tailor its operation according
to user instructions via prompts.
● To ensure its credibility and prevent unethical commands, GPT-4 is designed to
stay within set boundaries, resisting any attempts to overstep.
● Serving as a language virtuoso, GPT-4 proficiently communicates in 25
languages, including Mandarin, Polish, and Swahili, and maintains an 85%
accuracy rate in English.
● GPT-4 is capable of handling extended pieces of text, thanks to its ability to
manage greater context lengths.

Chinchilla
From DeepMind, Chinchilla is often dubbed as the nemesis of GPT-3. Constructed on
70 billion parameters and four times more data, Chinchilla outpaced Gopher, GPT-3,
Jurassic-1, and Megatron-Turing NLG on a range of evaluation tasks. What makes it
noteworthy is its efficiency, requiring relatively lower computational power for fine-tuning
and inference.
LaMDA
LaMDA, an acronym for Language Model for Dialogue Applications was developed in
the context of Google's innovative Transformer research project in Natural Language
Processing, LaMDA has made significant contributions to the field. Though it may not
be as well-known as OpenAI's GPT line of language models, it is one of the most
powerful language models in existence, serving as a cornerstone for other models.
LaMDA boasts up to 137 billion parameters and is trained on a staggering 1.56 trillion
words of public dialogue and web-based text. Its inception began with Meena in 2020, a
model trained on 341 GB of text derived from public domain social media dialogues.
This training provided a nuanced understanding of conversations based on some of the
most challenging yet authentic examples. The first generation of LaMDA was unveiled
at the Google I/O keynote in 2021, and LaMDA 2 was introduced the following year.
As we mentioned before, built on the transformer technology, LaMDA was designed to
excel in areas where prior chatbots struggled, such as maintaining consistency in
responses and generating unexpected answers. These qualities are captured by the
Sensibility, Specificity, and Interestingness (SSI) score. Instead of simply meeting
expectations, the model was trained to predict the next segments of a sentence,
essentially acting as an improvisational word generator that fills in the gaps with
appealing details. This capability was later expanded to other applications, enabling the
creation of longer, conversation-like responses.
LaMDA, like other machine learning-based systems, generates multiple responses
instead of a single one, and selects the optimal response using internal ranking
systems. Thus, rather than following a singular pathway to an answer, it produces
56

58. several potential responses, with another model determining the highest-scoring one
based on the SSI metric.
SSI is a human-judged metric, but Google has shown that it can be approximated by
another model, as demonstrated with the Meena experiments. This SSI-evaluating
model is trained on human-generated responses to random samples from evaluation
datasets, enhanced with further training in areas like safety and helpfulness. LaMDA is
also designed to maintain role consistency in its responses.
PaLM
More extensive and sophisticated than LaMDA, PaLM, delivers an advanced processing
system that assures improved accuracy. It rests on a novel AI framework known as
Pathways (see below) and is trained using cutting-edge ML infrastructure for large
model training. This infrastructure employs TPU v4 chips that offer twice the
computational power of the previous TPU version, thereby providing 10x the bandwidth
per chip at scale in comparison to traditional GPU-based large-scale training systems.
Created by Google’s Brain team and DeepMind in 2022, PaLM has been assessed
across hundreds of language understanding and generation tasks. It was found to
deliver state-of-the-art few-shot performance across the majority of these tasks,
outshining others by considerable margins in many instances.
Trained using a combination of English and multilingual datasets (encompassing over
200 languages and 20 programming languages) including high-quality web documents,
books, Wikipedia articles, conversations, and GitHub code.
Presented in 2023, PaLM 2, the engine behind Google’s Bard AI and Google
workspace, is already demonstrating its versatility across multiple tasks. Some of its
capabilities include:
● Comprehension, creation, and translation of natural language: PaLM 2 is
adept at understanding and producing natural language, encompassing text,
code, and other forms of human communication. It has proficiency in over 200
languages.
● Code writing: The model can write code in a variety of programming languages,
such as Python, Java, and C++.
57

59. ● Generation of audio, video, and image: Beyond language translation and code
generation, PaLM 2 can produce audio files, videos, and images.
● Logical reasoning: PaLM 2 is capable of reasoning about worldly scenarios and
making logical deductions.
● Text summarization: The model has the ability to summarize texts, creating
succinct and informative overviews.
● Answering questions: PaLM 2 can answer questions, even those that are
open-ended, difficult, or unusual, in a comprehensive and enlightening manner.
● Understanding idiomatic expressions and grammatical subtleties: The
model has a grasp on idioms, phrases, and colloquial expressions, interpreting
them in context.
Just like OpenAI's suite of models, Google's PaLM 2 offers an API that allows seamless
interaction and integration with your products and processes.
Pathways architecture
Pathways is an innovative approach to AI, designed to tackle existing weaknesses and
integrate strengths of current models. Here's a breakdown of how it addresses AI's
current challenges:
● Single-task models: Current AI models are generally trained for a single task.
Pathways, in contrast, aims to train a single model to handle thousands or even
millions of tasks, much like human learning where knowledge from previous
tasks aids in learning new ones.
● Multi-sensory approach: Most contemporary AI systems process one type of
information at a time, such as text, images, or speech. Pathways could enable
multimodal models that integrate vision, auditory, and language understanding
simultaneously, reducing errors and biases. It can even handle abstract forms of
data, potentially unearthing valuable patterns in complex systems like climate
dynamics.
● Efficiency: Today's models are "dense," meaning the entire neural network
activates for each task, irrespective of its complexity. Pathways aims to develop
"sparse" models, where only relevant parts of the network activate as needed.
This approach is not only faster but also more energy-efficient.
Pathways thus promises a significant leap forward from the era of single-purpose AI
models to more general-purpose intelligent systems that can adapt to new challenges
58

60. and requirements. While being mindful of AI Principles, it is being crafted to respond
swiftly to future global challenges, even those we haven't yet anticipated.
Meta
OPT
The Open Pretrained Transformer (OPT) is a formidable counterpart to GPT-3, with a
massive parameter count of 175 billion. By being trained on open-source datasets, OPT
encourages extensive community involvement. The package released includes not only
the pre-trained models but also the training code. As of now, OPT is only available for
research purposes under a noncommercial license. Notably, it was trained and
implemented using 16 NVIDIA V100 GPUs, requiring significantly less computational
resources than other models of its class. It is important to note that the model has a
non-commercial restrictive license.
LLaMA
LLaMA, introduced by Meta AI in February 2023, takes a distinct approach to scale its
performance by focusing on increasing the volume of training data rather than the
number of parameters (65 billion). The rationale behind this strategy is rooted in the
understanding that the primary cost associated with large language models (LLMs) lies
in the inference process during model usage, rather than the computational cost of the
training phase. In essence, LLaMA derives its power from fine-tuning the model rather
than the training itself.
The training of LLaMA involved harnessing an extensive collection of publicly available
data, amounting to a staggering 1.4 trillion tokens. The sources of this data encompass
webpages scraped by CommonCrawl, open source repositories from GitHub, Wikipedia
articles in 20 different languages, public domain books sourced from Project Gutenberg,
the LaTeX source code of scientific papers uploaded to ArXiv, and the wealth of
questions and answers obtained from Stack Exchange websites.
By leveraging this vast and diverse corpus of training data, LLaMA aspires to enhance
its comprehension of language and augment its capacity to generate coherent and
contextually appropriate responses.
59

61. The code employed for training the model was made publicly available under the
open-source GPL 3 license. To ensure controlled access, management of the model's
weights was conducted through an application process. Access to this is granted on a
case-by-case basis, primarily to academic researchers, individuals associated with
government, civil society, and academia organizations, as well as industry research
laboratories worldwide. LLaMA and the subsequent derivations like Alpaca are intended
only for academic research and any commercial use is prohibited.
Amazon
AlexaTM
With 20 billion parameters, AlexaTM 20B is a sequence-to-sequence language model
that is renowned for its leading-edge few-shot learning capabilities. A distinguishing
feature is its encoder-decoder structure, specifically engineered to boost machine
translation performance.
In this model, the encoder generates an interpretation of the input that the decoder then
utilizes to accomplish a specific task. This type of architecture is particularly powerful
for tasks such as machine translation or text summarization, areas in which AlexaTM
20B has outperformed GPT-3.
The training process of AlexaTM 20B stands out, too. Amazon employed a combination
of denoising and causal-language-modeling (CLM) tasks. The denoising tasks
challenge the model to identify missing segments and reconstruct a complete input
version, while the CLM tasks train the model to continue an input text in a meaningful
way.
AlexaTM 20B's crowning achievement lies in its few-shot-learning abilities. It can
generalize tasks to other languages given an input representing a specific intent in a
certain language, which allows the creation of new features across different languages
without the need for extensive training workflows. As a result, AlexaTM 20B was able to
attain state-of-the-art performance in few-shot-learning tasks across all supported
language pairs on the Flores-101 dataset.
Currently, AlexaTM 20B supports languages including Arabic, English, French, German,
Hindi, Italian, Japanese, Marathi, Portuguese, Spanish, Tamil, and Telugu. This ability
60

million trainable parameters.
During the research phase, the BERT framework demonstrated unprecedented success
in 11 different tasks related to understanding natural language, such as disambiguating
polysemous words, sentence classification, semantic role labeling, and sentiment
analysis. Following its debut in 2019, Google has integrated BERT into its search
engine.
BERT's architecture has been the subject of optimization and specialization efforts by
numerous organizations, research groups, and internal divisions of Google. They
62

64. employ supervised training to tailor BERT's architecture to their specific needs, whether

competitive performance compared to BERT-base.
● DistilBERT by HuggingFace: a more efficient version of BERT, distilled from
BERT and then stripped down for better efficiency. It is touted as a smaller,
faster, and cheaper version of BERT.
BERT is viewed as a foundational generation of language models and has paved the
way for further developments such as the creation of successors like Roberta.
Falcon
The Falcon-40B model, a causal decoder-only model with 40 billion parameters, was
developed by the Technology Innovation Institute (TII), a part of the Advanced
Technology Research Council (ATRC) under the Abu Dhabi Government. This model
was trained using an enhanced version of the RefinedWeb dataset, combined with
curated corpora, amounting to 1,000 billion tokens.
The Falcon-7B/40B models are top-of-the-line for their size, and they outpace most
other models on NLP benchmarks. These models were constructed from the ground up
with a custom data pipeline and a distributed training library. The architecture is
uniquely designed for inference and features FlashAttention and multi query. As per the

66. GPT-Neo
GPT-Neo, developed by the community-focused research organization EleutherAI, is an
open-source language model that falls under the GPT (Generative Pre-trained
Transformer) family. This model is designed in alignment with the GPT architecture and
functions as an autoregressive language model, predicting the next token based on an
input string of text. The model titled GPT-Neo 20B, with 20 billion parameters, mirrors
the GPT-3 architecture and offers an efficient and accessible alternative to large-scale
models like GPT-3.

Also from EleutherAI, Pythia is a comprehensive suite of 16 models, with parameters
ranging from 12 million to 12 billion. Additionally, it provides 154 partially trained
checkpoints, all designed to facilitate structured scientific research on large language
models that are transparent and freely accessible.
Created with a specific focus on research, Pythia leverages interpretability analysis and
scaling laws to examine the evolution and development of knowledge during the training
process of autoregressive transformers.
OpenLLaMA
OpenLLaMA is an open-source recreation of Meta AI's LLaMA 7B, trained using the
RedPajama dataset and licensed permissively.
MPT-7B (Mosaic ML)
MPT-7B, the first model in the MosaicML Foundation Series, is a GPT-style language
model. It's been trained on a dataset of 1 trillion tokens, curated by MosaicML, and
delivers performance on par with LLaMa 7B in evaluation metrics. What sets MPT-7B
apart is its combination of the most recent LLM modeling techniques, including Flash
65

67. Attention for efficiency, Alibi for context length extrapolation, and stability enhancements
to reduce the occurrence of loss spikes. This model is open-source, available for
commercial use, and offers several variants, including an impressive model fine-tuned
for a 64K context length.
In June 2023, MosaicML announced the launch of their second open source large
model, MPT-30B, a 30 billion parameter model that claims to surpass OpenAI's GPT-3
in quality.

70. Text to Image generation models
A text-to-image model is a type of machine learning model capable of transforming a
natural language description into a corresponding image. These models were first
developed in the mid-2010s, following breakthroughs in deep neural network
technologies. Leading text-to-image models like OpenAI's DALL-E 2, Google Brain's
Imagen, StabilityAI's Stable Diffusion and MidJourney have started producing outputs
almost equivalent to real photographs or human-created artwork.
Typically, a text-to-image model comprises two key components: a language model that
converts the input text into a hidden representation, and a generative image model that
crafts an image based on that representation. The most successful models have
generally been trained on vast quantities of text and image data obtained from the web.
DALL-E 2
DALL-E is a neural network-based model developed by OpenAI that combines
techniques from generative adversarial networks (GANs) and transformers to generate
images from textual descriptions. It stands for "Diverse Approximations of a Latent
Log-Likelihood - Encoder."
DALL-E is known for its ability to generate unique and creative images based on textual
prompts. It can take a text description as input and produce a corresponding image that
aligns with the given description. What makes DALL-E particularly remarkable is its
capability to generate highly detailed and imaginative images of objects and scenes that
may not exist in the real world.
The model was trained on a large dataset that pairs textual descriptions with
corresponding images. During training, DALL-E learns to map textual prompts to a
latent space and then decodes the latent representations to generate images. The
generated images exhibit a wide range of styles, shapes, and colors, often featuring
novel and visually striking concepts.
DALL-E showcases the potential of combining deep learning and generative modeling
techniques to bridge the gap between natural language understanding and image
generation. It has sparked interest in the field of AI and has led to explorations in
various creative applications, including art, design, and visual storytelling.
69

71. Stable Diffusion
Built by StabiltyAI and launched in 2022, is employed to create intricate images based
on textual descriptions. However, its versatility allows it to be utilized in other areas like
inpainting, outpainting, and text-prompt-guided image-to-image transformations.
Stable Diffusion functions use a latent diffusion model, which is a type of deep
generative neural network. Its code and model weights have been made publicly
accessible under the Creative ML OpenRAIL-M license, and it is compatible with most
consumer-grade hardware equipped with a decent GPU of at least 8 GB VRAM. This
approach diverges from previous proprietary text-to-image models like DALL-E and
Midjourney, which were only available through cloud services. This inclusive license
permits both commercial and non-commercial applications.
Stable Diffusion was trained using paired images and captions derived from the publicly
accessible dataset LAION-5B. Originally from web-scraped Common Crawl data, this
dataset classifies 5 billion image-text pairs based on language.
Midjourney
Midjourney, an AI-powered program and service, is developed and hosted by the
independent research lab, Midjourney, Inc., based in San Francisco.
Recognized as possibly the premier AI image generator currently available, Midjourney
is capable of producing highly realistic and lifelike images. Its popularity has grown
significantly over recent months, especially following the release of Midjourney v5. Now,
the team is gearing up to launch its new product, Midjourney v6.
The forthcoming version promises to create images with a maximum resolution of
2048x2048 pixels and exhibit a more nuanced understanding of text inputs.
As of now, Midjourney can be accessed solely through its official Discord server, either
by messaging the bot directly or by inviting it to another server. Users generate images
by using the /imagine command, along with their desired text prompt. The bot then
provides four generated images, from which users can choose their preferred ones for
upscaling. In addition, Midjourney is in the process of developing a web interface for an
enhanced user experience.
70

72. Please note that Midjourney is no longer free to use, except during occasional
promotional periods when free usage is permitted.
Across this book you will find several examples of images generated by MidJourney and
the prompts used to generate them.
Adobe Firefly
Adobe Firefly is a family of generative AI models designed to jump-start creativity and
accelerate workflows in Adobe products.
Enables creators the use of text prompts to expedite the production of diverse content
such as images, audio, vectors, and videos.
Unlike many standalone AI art generators, Adobe Firefly sets itself apart by its planned
integration with existing Adobe tools and services. This integration will allow users to
incorporate generative AI directly into their current workflows.
Adobe Firefly forms part of an upcoming series of Adobe Sensei generative AI services
that will be incorporated across Adobe's cloud platforms, offering a unique and
synergistic blend of creativity and technology.
By the close of May 2023, Adobe Firefly AI had become a new addition to Photoshop,
enabling users to craft images using their own textual descriptions through a feature
known as Generative Fill.
Other Image generators
Much like the ever-growing list of LLM models we mentioned before, the number of
relevant models and services is increasing daily. So, by the time you read this, there will
likely be additional noteworthy models to consider.

74. Music generation models
MusicLM
Developed by Google this system can produce music of any genre based on a text
description. Despite this impressive achievement, Google has decided to withhold its
immediate release due to potential risks.
Jukebox
OpenAI’s Jukebox, was released in April 2020, designed to generate raw audio music
based on inputs such as genre, artist, or lyrics.
Unlike the swift global traction other OpenAI’s tools gained, Jukebox has not garnered a
similar breadth of interest. This might be attributed to its lack of a user-friendly web
application and the time and computational power it demands - it takes about nine hours
to render a single minute of audio. Despite this, the model is available for exploration in
its code form on the OpenAI website, where an elaborate explanation of the encoding
and decoding process is provided.
MuseNet
Also from OpenAI, MuseNet has the capability to produce musical pieces that last for 4
minutes, incorporating up to 10 different instruments. Musenet learned to recognize
harmony, rhythm, and stylistic trends by predicting the upcoming token in hundreds of
thousands of MIDI files, same as the GPT models that we talked about earlier in this
book, and specifically GPT-2, a large-scale transformer model trained via unsupervised
learning to anticipate the following token in any given sequence, in this case a MIDI
note.
AIVA
AIVA Technologies, a deep-tech startup based in Luxembourg, was established in
February 2016 by a trio of entrepreneur-musicians. They use AI to generate music, with
73

75. their principal product, AIVA - the Artificial Intelligence Virtual Artist - capable of
composing emotive soundtracks for films, advertisements, video games, trailers, and
television programs. Their aim is "to elevate AIVA to the ranks of the greatest
composers in history, while providing the world with custom-made music". Remarkably,
AIVA is the first-ever AI globally to be officially recognized as a Composer by a rights
society, possessing the legal right to own copyrights and earn royalties for the music it
produces.
AIVA leverages both deep learning and reinforcement learning, resembling the Large
Language Models (LLMs) we've previously discussed. However, the specific algorithm
that AIVA employs to craft music has been kept secret, making its precise inner
workings a mystery.
Other Music AI music generators
● Amper Music (acquired by shutterstock)
● Soundful
● Ecrett Music
● Soundraw
● Boomy
● Amadeus Code
● Melobytes
Numerous online platforms assert that they can produce music in real time through the
use of generative AI. However, they often fall short of detailing their process, leaving
users in the dark about whether a generative AI model is being used, the specific model
type, or the training methods employed for the model.
74

76. 75

77. Voice generation models
It's crucial to differentiate between two distinct technologies: Text-to-Speech synthesis
(TTS) and Neural Codec Language Models.
Text-to-Speech systems (TTS) convert written words into spoken language, offering
various customization choices like selecting between a set of a given male or female
voices, different accents, speed of speech, and other vocal traits. These systems
evolved from early synthesizer voices and have now reached a stage where they
produce incredibly lifelike results. So much so that distinguishing a real voice from a
computer-generated one has become a challenging task. Some notable players in the
TTS area are Amazon Polly, Murf.ai, Beyondwords, Play.ht Voice Cloning, Lyrebird AI,
Resemble.ai, Respeecher, and Speechify.
On the other hand, Neural Codec Language Models can convincingly emulate a
person's voice using a brief audio sample. Once it learns a specific voice, the system
can generate audio of that individual uttering any text while striving to maintain the
speaker's emotional inflection.
Microsoft's VALL-E is currently the most significant model in this domain. This
technology could potentially revolutionize high-quality text-to-speech applications and
speech editing, where a recording can be edited and changed from a text transcript,
effectively making the person say something different from the original recording.
Microsoft's VALL-E is based on a technology known as EnCodec, announced by Meta
in October 2022. Unlike traditional text-to-speech techniques that usually synthesize
speech by manipulating waveforms, VALL-E generates discrete audio codec codes from
text and acoustic prompts. It essentially analyzes a person's voice, breaks that
information into discrete units (referred to as "tokens") using EnCodec, and matches
these to what it has learned about how that voice would sound when uttering phrases
outside of the three-second sample.
However, with VALL-E's ability to synthesize speech while preserving the speaker's
identity, there are potential risks, such as voice spoofing or impersonating a specific
speaker. Experiments with this model are conducted assuming the user agrees to be
the target speaker in speech synthesis. If the model is applied to unknown speakers in
real life, it should include a protocol to ensure the speaker consents to the use of their
voice and a synthesized speech detection model.
76

78. Microsoft used a big collection of audio files, named LibriLight, to teach VALL-E how to
mimic speech. This collection, put together by Meta, has more than 60,000 hours of
people speaking English. It includes voices of over 7,000 different speakers and mostly
comes from free audiobooks from LibriVox.
Meta just revealed their new product, Voicebox, which is a generative text-to-speech
tool that aims to revolutionize spoken language in the same way ChatGPT transformed
text generation. Described by Meta as "a non-autoregressive flow-matching model
trained to infill speech, given audio context and text," Voicebox has been trained on over
50,000 hours of raw audio. The company specifically used speech recordings and
transcripts from a large collection of public domain audiobooks in several languages,
including English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, and Portuguese.
Google has also made a splash with the announcement of their new development,
AudioPaLM, designed to advance audio generation and comprehension. Developed by
a team of Google researchers, AudioPaLM is a large language model skilled in both
understanding and generating speech. It merges the strengths of two established
models, namely the PaLM-2 model and the AudioLM model, creating a combined
multimodal structure capable of dealing with both text and speech. This integration
enables AudioPaLM to manage a wide array of applications, from voice recognition to
voice-to-text conversion.

80. Industry specific models
As companies get more used to generative AI technology, new specific uses for it will
pop up that focus on fixing problems in certain industries. This can be done by using
already available models and fine tuning them to work with data specific to an industry.
Or, it can involve using models that are available for commercial purposes and training
them on a set of data that is unique to a certain industry.
An example of this is Med-PaLM 2, which leverages the power of Google's PaLM
Model, fine-tuned specifically for the medical field. This allows it to provide more
accurate and safe responses to medical queries. Med-PaLM 2 set a precedent as the
first LLM to exhibit expert-level performance on the MedQA dataset, based on
USMLE-style questions, with an accuracy surpassing 85%. Additionally, it was the
inaugural AI system to achieve a passing score on the MedMCQA dataset, which
comprises Indian AIIMS and NEET medical examination questions, scoring an
impressive 72.3%.
Models such as Med-PaLM 2, tailored for specific industries, are emerging as a crucial
part of the rapidly expanding realm of generative AI technologies.
Potential applications could also involve aiding in crafting short and long responses, as
well as summarizing documentation and insights drawn from internal datasets and
extensive bodies of scientific knowledge.
We'll soon see new models made just for certain industries. These might be based on
existing models via fine-tuning or built from scratch. This is likely where we'll really see
how companies are starting to use generative AI.
Aurora genAI (Intel)
Intel has recently announced Aurora genAI, an AI model designed for science with a
massive one trillion parameters.
With support from Intel's Aurora Supercomputer, the Aurora-GenAI model aims to train
scientific and general data, focusing on scientific fields. We look forward to seeing how
the model will handle sensitive topics like politics, social issues, and climate change.
The project, a collaboration with Argonne National Laboratory and HPE, is still in
progress and is just a commitment at this point.
79

81. Finance models
BloombergGPT represents a model specifically educated with Bloomberg's proprietary,
industry-specific financial data to cater to a broad spectrum of natural language
processing tasks within the finance sector. This exclusive data was combined with a
public dataset consisting of 345 billion tokens, thus compiling a vast training corpus
exceeding 700 billion tokens. Utilizing a chunk of this corpus, the team successfully
trained a language model with 50-billion parameters, which solely decodes on a causal
basis. The performance of the resulting model was confirmed using existing financial
NLP benchmarks, a range of Bloomberg's internal benchmarks, as well as wide-ranging
general-purpose NLP tasks from well-known benchmarks.
Similarly, there's FinGPT, an end-to-end open-source framework designed for creating
large language models (FinLLMs) tailored to economics.
Biotechnology models
LLMs have demonstrated potential in various areas of biotechnology too, such as
protein creation and modification. ProGen is an example of this, a language model
capable of generating protein sequences with predictable functionality across large
protein families, comparable to constructing coherent and meaningful sentences on a
variety of subjects in natural language.
ProGen was trained on over 280 million protein sequences from more than 19,000
families, and is enhanced with control tags that define protein characteristics.
80

82. 81

83. Top-tier Generative AI chatbots
ChatGPT
ChatGPT is a sophisticated AI program developed by OpenAI. It's designed to generate
human-like text based on the prompts or questions you give it. It works by predicting
what comes next in a conversation, which makes it good at understanding context and
providing relevant responses.
ChatGPT latest versión is based on GPT-3.5, but GPT-4 is also available through the
paid subscription at the time of this writing.
What's caused the hype around ChatGPT? Well, there are a few reasons:
Firstly, it's incredibly good at mimicking human conversation. It can answer questions,
write essays, tell jokes, and even create poetry. This has led to all kinds of uses, from
helping people draft emails, to tutoring in various subjects, to simply having a chat when
you're bored.
Secondly, it's one of the first AI models of its kind to be so accessible and easy to use.
Anyone can try out ChatGPT for free online, which has led to a lot of people discovering
and sharing its capabilities.
Finally, it's seen as a glimpse into the future of AI. The fact that an AI can understand
and generate human-like text is a big deal. It shows the potential of AI to take on more
complex tasks and roles in society. So, a lot of the excitement is about what this
technology could do in the future.
Google Bard
Bard, Google's conversational AI chat service, aims to function similarly to ChatGPT but
with the distinction that it retrieves information from the web. Similar to other large
language models (LLMs), Bard is capable of generating code, answering math
problems, and assisting with writing tasks.
82

84. The unveiling of Bard took place on February 6 2023, as announced by Sundar Pichai,
CEO of Google and Alphabet. Although Bard was introduced as a completely new
concept, it initially relied on Google's LaMDA, which we discussed previously, Bard is
now powered by PaLM 2. With PaLM 2, Bard offers improved efficiency, higher
performance, and resolution of previous issues.
During the Google I/O event, it was announced that Bard would initially support
Japanese and Korean languages and was on track to expand its language support to
include an additional 40 languages in the near future.
It is worth mentioning that Bard encountered some challenges during its launch, with a
demo showcasing inaccurate information about the James Webb Space Telescope.
There are multiple comparatives over ChatGPT vs Bard out there. As of now, a broad
viewpoint suggests that ChatGPT is further advanced, performs better, and possibly
exhibits less bias. This could be attributed to the fact that more resources and time have
been devoted to fine-tuning ChatGPT. However, given Google's vast financial
resources, ability for innovation and huge historical data, there's a chance they could
take the lead in this race.
Microsoft Bing Chat
In early February 2023, Microsoft rolled out a fresh version of Bing, featuring a notable
AI chatbot, which uses the same technology as ChatGPT, powered by OpenAI's GPT-4
model.
Even though it's based on the previously discussed GPT-4, it behaves differently from
ChatGPT. It presents results as human-like responses but includes footnotes linking to
the original sources and provides the latest information. So, it's more of a blend
between a regular search engine and the conversational style of ChatGPT.
Bing Chat is also capable of assisting with creative tasks like penning a poem, story, or
song, and can even transform text into images using Bing's Image Creator within the
same platform, which is powered by OpenAI’s DaLL-E.
The close collaboration between Microsoft and OpenAI can be traced back to Microsoft
being one of the largest investors in OpenAI. This partnership could generate billions in
annual revenue due to increasing workloads in Azure. Microsoft is incorporating the
83

85. technology into its Bing search engine, sales and marketing software, GitHub coding
tools, Microsoft 365 productivity suite, and Azure cloud services.
GitHub Copilot
GitHub Copilot, while not technically a chatbot, is worth noting as it's a widely used tool
powered by a large language model (LLM) and it's specifically designed to enhance
productivity in the software industry.
GitHub Copilot is a smart coding assistant that helps by offering suggestions as the
developer writes code. It can either offer ideas based on the code the developer has
started writing, or from a plain language comment about what you want the code to do.
It's powered by OpenAI Codex, OpenAI’s LLM model specifically trained for coding.
The training for GitHub Copilot involves all languages from public code repositories. The
quality of the suggestions it gives can depend on how much and what kind of training
data is available for a specific language. For example, JavaScript is widely used in
public repositories, so GitHub Copilot is really good at suggesting JavaScript code. If a
language isn't used as much in public repositories, the suggestions might not be as
many or as good.
GitHub Copilot can be used embedded in Visual Studio Code, Visual Studio, Vim,
Neovim, and the JetBrains suite of IDEs as an extension.

87. Some applications of generative AI in the enterprise
There's no question that Generative AI is set to revolutionize the AI field. It will elevate
assistive technology, speed up app development, and bring powerful tools to those
without a tech background.
Up until now, areas involving direct interaction like customer service have seen minimal
tech advancements. Generative AI is about to shake this up, taking on tasks involving
interaction in a way that mirrors human behavior. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the
difference. That's not to say that these tools are meant to replace human input. Quite
the contrary, they are often most effective when working alongside people, boosting
their abilities, and helping them to get things done quicker and better.
Generative AI is also pushing the boundaries of what we thought was unique to us:
creativity. The technology uses its inputs (the data it's been fed and user prompts) and
experiences (interactions with users that help it learn new info and what's right/wrong) to
create entirely new content. While people may argue for years to come whether this
counts as real creativity, most would agree that these tools are likely to inspire more
human creativity by giving us a starting point for our ideas.
Let's explore some instances where generative AI technologies can be beneficial,
focusing on aspects like:
● Increasing cost efficiencies
● Enhancing quality
● Boosting customer experience
● Accelerating innovation
● Augmenting sales
Generative AI can contribute a lot into these instances, but its implementation
requires careful consideration and validation to ensure the accuracy, reliability,
and ethical use of generated outputs. On top of that, ongoing monitoring and
human oversight are crucial to maintain quality and address any potential issues
that may arise from the use of generative AI in enterprise contexts.
86

88. Increasing cost efficiencies
Generative AI can boost efficiency and savings by automating content creation and
process tasks, tailoring marketing efforts, and streamlining supply chains. It can also
enhance fraud detection and risk management by spotting suspicious patterns in large

uncover valuable insights and patterns. By generating meaningful visualizations, data
summaries, and trend analysis, generative AI can support decision-making processes,
drive data-driven strategies, and enhance the quality of business intelligence.
Boosting customer experience
In the past, business leaders often hesitated to use automation, fearing that customers
would be frustrated with bot-human interactions. This was a valid concern with earlier,
more rigid bots. But now that has changed.
The advanced conversational skills of generative AI chatbots make them a great fit for
customer interaction. They not only improve the conversational experience but can also
aid customer service agents with suggested responses. Hence, using generative AI and
LLMs is a logical choice for brands looking to deliver quicker and more effective
support.
However, when using LLM models for chatbots or other content generation tools, it's
crucial to carefully fine-tune them to match your company's specific information and
processes. They should also align with the corporate culture and sentiment you want to
convey in each interaction.
Apart from the Personalized Recommendations and Content discussed earlier we
can also include:
Real Time Natural Language Processing (NLP) Applications: Companies can
provide instant and accurate responses to customer inquiries, offer personalized
support, and engage in natural and human-like conversations.
Non Real-time Customer Communications: By dynamically generating personalized
messages, emails, or newsletters based on your customer preferences and
segmentation, generative AI enhances the relevance and engagement of
communication, resulting in a more tailored and satisfying experience.

experience.
Accelerating innovation
Generative AI can help you foster a culture of innovation, streamline processes, gain
valuable insights, and accelerate the development and implementation of innovative
ideas.
However, human creativity, expertise, and judgment should remain essential in the
innovation process. These new AI powered tools should be used to support, facilitate
and accelerate the process in conjunction with human ingenuity.
Idea Generation and Exploration: Assisting in the generation of new ideas and
exploring innovative concepts, companies can prompt the models with specific criteria
or parameters, allowing them to generate a wide range of ideas and potential solutions.

an immediate and unique method of idea generation that's hard to surpass.
Moreover, these image generation tools can serve as sources of inspiration for house
construction as well. Websites like thishousedoesnotexist.org demonstrate this by
showcasing generated house and interior designs as well as other visual
representations of ideas, all based on text prompts. Despite controversies surrounding
the use of Intellectual Property (IP) to train these models, the impact of these tools on
the creative process is undeniably profound.
AI-powered tools, such as Interior AI, give users the ability to upload a photo of a
specific room, identify its function, and select from a range of predefined styles. The
104

106. platform then offers various views of the room, eliminating the need for mockup designs
or physically rearranging furniture. This concept mirrors augmented reality used by
companies like Houzz or IKEA, where digital versions of furniture items are overlaid
onto physical spaces. It's likely that, in time, image generation tools like DaLLe or
Midjourney will be incorporated into these utilities to enhance their creative possibilities.
A recent addition to the tools that will facilitate the creative process for architecture and

techniques, LLM models can help analyze large volumes of financial data - including
financial statements, transaction records, market reports, and economic indicators.
These models can extract valuable insights, identify patterns, and provide data-driven
recommendations, all of which can assist in financial decision-making. These
techniques can also assist with financial forecasting and planning through scenario
analysis and sensitivity modeling.
LLM models can speed up and assist the financial department in financial reports and
presentations generation for internal stakeholders, board meetings, and investor
relations.
Risk Assessment and Fraud Detection: Advanced generative AI models, fine-tuned
for risk and fraud detection, can assist in assessing and mitigating financial risks. They
achieve this by analyzing historical data, market trends, and risk indicators.
Furthermore, they can help detect fraudulent activities by identifying suspicious
patterns, anomalies, or inconsistencies in financial transactions.
Compliance and Regulatory Reporting: LLM models can aid in ensuring compliance
with financial regulations and reporting requirements. They can help automate the
extraction and analysis of data for regulatory reporting, reducing errors, and enhancing
the accuracy and efficiency of compliance processes. Potentially, with the right
fine-tuning, all financial information can be combined and integrated into a
comprehensive report automatically generated.
115

117. Other Financial Document Generation: Not only for compliance and regulatory
purposes, these models can generate other reports, such as financial statements,
investment reports, shareholder communications, and audit reports. Ultimately, they can
assist in producing more accurate and professional-looking financial documents,
thereby saving the finance department time and effort.

analysis by analyzing industry reports, news articles, and market trends. They can
provide insights into competitor strategies, market dynamics, and potential investment
opportunities, assisting the finance department in making informed decisions.
Marketing department
There are concerns among some marketers that as AI becomes more advanced in the
field of marketing, it could lead to job losses or even completely replace human workers.
However, while Generative AI is indeed an incredibly powerful tool that can be highly
useful in marketing, the importance of human judgment in understanding consumers
and what drives them can't be overstated, and we don't see that changing. Current AI
models are still in their early stages and need significant human supervision to ensure
they have the necessary level of sophistication and context awareness.
However, Generative AI's potential to remove monotonous and time-intensive tasks,
reduce mistakes made by humans, and speed up the progress of projects are some of
its most significant advantages. When AI is incorporated to boost creativity during the
brainstorming stage, it can help designers and developers view projects from a new
perspective.
Content Creation: This is likely one of the main areas where LLM models can be
directly applied. As we've previously seen, these models can easily generate blog
articles, social media posts, product descriptions, and email campaigns. However, that
doesn't mean we should exclude human creativity. These models can assist by quickly
providing creative suggestions, optimizing language, and tailoring your content to
specific target audiences.
116

118. Personalized Messaging: By analyzing customer data, preferences, and behavior, we
can create personalized marketing messages. This includes automatically generating
customized product recommendations, tailored promotional offers, and individualized
communication to boost customer engagement and conversions.
Market Research and Trend Analysis: Identifying and analyzing market trends,
consumer sentiment, and competitor strategies. LLM models can process large volumes
of data from social media, customer reviews, surveys, and industry reports to provide
valuable insights that inform marketing strategies and campaigns.
Social Media Management: Another trending marketing use of LLM models is assisting
in social media management by generating engaging and relevant posts, responding to
customer inquiries, and monitoring brand mentions. They can ultimately help automate
social media activities, improve response times, and maintain consistent brand
messaging.
Brand Monitoring and Reputation Management: Analyze online content and
sentiment to monitor brand mentions, track customer sentiment, and identify potential
reputation risks. Creating automated real-time alerts, sentiment analysis, and actionable
insights to help manage brand reputation effectively.
SEO Optimization: As previously mentioned, another trending capability of LLM
models is aiding in the optimization of content for search engines. They do this by
generating SEO-friendly meta tags, suggesting titles, and providing keyword
recommendations. These tools can help marketers improve website visibility, drive
organic traffic, and enhance search engine rankings. However, as we pointed out
before, it's crucial to monitor how the SEO industry evolves in the medium to long term.
As the use of these tools becomes more widespread, they will inevitably impact search
engine algorithms.
Customer Insights and Segmentation: Uncover actionable insights from customer
data for better customer segmentation and targeting. This makes it easier to identify
customer preferences, buying patterns, and engagement metrics.
Ad Copy and Campaign Optimization: Optimizing ad copy, headlines, and
call-to-action statements for better performance will become easier. LLM models can
easily generate variations for A/B testing, provide data-driven recommendations to
improve ad engagement, click-through rates, and conversion rates.
117

119. Business Communications and PR
Just like in marketing, Generative AI is also becoming a great tool for internal and
external business communication across industries. By using these models to power
business communication, we can promote better communication practices through
automation. Generative AI can help improve how we create and deliver business
messages in several ways.
As mentioned earlier, Generative AI can help make communication more personalized
for both customers and employees. It can automate communication-related tasks and
provide real-time research and important insights on how messages are received.
These insights can then guide us on how to craft and send out communication based on
an individual's preference for personalization.
Sales department
Lead generation
More traditional, non-generative AI models are already widely used in the industry for
lead generation, cross-sell, and up-sell. Generative AI models will help to augment the
current capacities of these models, or to automate part, or all, of the sales funnel
process.
By examining a range of customer information, including their activity on the website,
their past purchases, and overall data profile. For instance, if a customer often visits
pages related to outdoor camping equipment, the model can identify this interest and
mark them as a potential lead for a camping gear company.
Further, these models can rank these leads based on the probability of them making a
purchase, allowing the sales team to focus their efforts more efficiently. So, if the
camping gear enthusiast has a history of making purchases related to outdoor activities,
the model may prioritize them over another lead with less buying history.
Finally, AI models can provide sales teams with key insights that can be used for
customized marketing. For example, the model might discover that the camping
enthusiast particularly enjoys winter camping, allowing the sales team to tailor their
approach and offer products specifically relevant to that interest. These models help in
118

120. making the outreach process more targeted and efficient, ultimately enhancing the sales
strategy.
Although these strategies do not necessarily have to be powered by generative AI
models, generative AI can complement these strategies by enhancing the accuracy of
predictions, generating real-time engaging messages, images or videos, and facilitating
the sales team's understanding of what is working and what is not - all without the need
for sophisticated business intelligence tools.
Also as mentioned previously, as an example, when using in conjunction with
permission marketing strategies using email, LLMs can generate messages tailored to
every individual to maximize and optimize the interaction, leading to bigger click-through
rates and conversions.
Sales conversation transcription and analysis
Analyzing and extracting valuable insights from transcriptions of customer calls and
conversations can significantly elevate the performance of your sales team. Here's
typically how this process would work:
1. Transcribing Conversations: Calls and customer interactions are recorded and
then transcribed into text using speech-to-text tools. Once we have transcribed
these conversations, we feed the transcriptions into the LLM.
2. Analyzing Transcriptions: The LLM can analyze these transcriptions to identify
patterns, keywords, sentiment, and more. For example, it might recognize that
customers often ask about a particular feature or express specific concerns.
3. Summarizing Conversations: By interpreting the context and content of these
transcriptions, LLMs can provide a summary of the key points from each
conversation. This can save the sales team a significant amount of time and
ensure nothing important is overlooked.
4. Identifying Sales Strategies: Based on the patterns and trends identified in
these summaries, the LLM can suggest sales strategies that are likely to be
effective. For instance, if many customers express a similar concern, the sales
team might focus on addressing this concern in their sales pitches.
5. Continuous Learning and Improvement: The LLM can continue to learn from
new conversations, refining its understanding and improving the quality of its
summaries and recommendations over time.
119

121. This ultimately will lead to a more efficient and targeted sales process, as the sales
team can focus on strategies that resonate most with their customers, based on real
data from their conversations.
Sales Forecasting
By analyzing historical sales data, market trends, and customer insights, LLM models
can provide accurate sales projections, identify potential bottlenecks, and assist in
making data-driven decisions to optimize sales performance. And all of this can be done
without resorting to data mining or traditional complex business intelligence techniques -
instead, your team will ask for this information using just plain language, making this
information more accessible and understandable.
Customer Relationship Management integration
LLM models can potentially be integrated with CRM systems to enhance customer data
analysis, lead scoring, and sales opportunity identification. They're typically fed with the
information gathered from lead generation and conversation transcriptions that we
mentioned earlier. Furthermore, they can assist sales teams in effectively managing
customer relationships, especially when it comes to maintaining optimal
communications with leads and existing customers.
Sales force training, coaching and onboarding
Undoubtedly, here’s another use case where LLM models can be of great help to sales
teams when training and coaching them by providing interactive modules that simulate
real customer sales interactions, role-playing scenarios, and personalized feedback.
And more than that, analyze the sales technique used by the trainee, helping
professionals enhance their skills and performance.
Competitor analysis
When fine-tuned with the appropriate data and given access to updated public
information about competitors, these models can assist in analyzing competitor
120

122. strategies. They can create a gap analysis between our business and the competitors,
perform a SWOT analysis, and more.
Operations department
Production error anomalies
Using a Generative AI model trained with images for anomaly detection, using
unsupervised learning. The model can be used on the production line to analyze new
images of products. If a product is normal and without defects, the model should be able
to recreate it accurately. But if the product has a defect (an anomaly), the model will
struggle to generate an accurate image, as it's something it hasn't seen in the training
phase. This discrepancy between the model's generation and the actual image is a
signal that the product may contain a defect.
The model can also be programmed to not just detect anomalies, but to provide
rationales for the issues detected. For example, it can highlight the areas in the image
that most contributed to the anomaly score.
This technique is already used in some industries like car assembly lines, where photos
of different parts of the vehicle are taken and then compared with generated images to
identify the defects and alert the operators to inspect the potential defects.
Enhance productivity in customer service areas
By using Generative AI models, we can automate routine tasks in customer service and
provide a more personalized and proactive service. Similar to what we mentioned
before about sales teams, we can also improve the skills of customer service agents
with better training materials and simulators, leading to a more efficient and effective
customer service department.
Risk and Legal
Generative AI models and more particularly LLMs, can significantly aid in creating and
analyzing contracts in different ways:
121

123. Contract Creation: Generating drafts of contracts based on input parameters such as
the type of agreement, parties involved, nature of service or product, etc. This not only
saves time but also ensures a level of consistency and accuracy in the contract drafting
process.
Contract review and clause Identification: Models can be fine-tuned to identify and
highlight specific clauses of interest in a contract, such as penalties, values owed,
termination clauses, and other important details. By inputting what clauses to look for,
the model can scan through the contract and provide a summary of these crucial points.
Comparative Document Analysis: When negotiating contracts, it can be beneficial to
compare the proposed contract with previous ones to identify deviations or new clauses.
An LLM model can perform a comparative analysis between documents to highlight
these differences, making the negotiation process more efficient.
Risk Assessment: Beyond identifying specific clauses, a generative AI can be trained
to provide a risk assessment of contracts. By looking for potentially harmful or
unfavorable clauses, AI can support legal teams in mitigating risks before finalizing
contracts.
Summarization and change detection in regulatory documents
Document Summarization: Reading through extensive regulatory documents and
generating a concise summary, pulling out key points, requirements, and changes. This
allows users to understand the main points without having to read through the entire
document.
Change Detection: When regulatory bodies release updated versions of documents, it
can be time-consuming to manually identify changes. LLM models can compare the
new document with the previous version and highlight any additions, deletions, or
alterations, making it easier to stay on top of updates.
Change Analysis: Beyond just identifying changes, models can analyze the
implications of these changes. This might involve cross-referencing other documents or
using contextual understanding to explain what the change means in practical terms.
122

124. Legal chatbots
As mentioned earlier, Large Language Models (LLMs) can sift through vast amounts of
legal data, including public and private company information, to answer specific queries.
By training the model specifically on legal language, it can understand and extract
relevant information from complex legal documents.
Typically, legal departments in companies are often tasked with answering fundamental
legal questions. These could be automated through the use of specialized legal
chatbots, freeing up the legal department to focus on more complex and critical tasks.
These legal chatbots should be capable of answering questions such as: "What are the
company's obligations under this contract?" or "What does the law say about this
issue?" Upon receiving a question, the chatbot should analyze the relevant documents
and provide a summarized response.
In summary, the use of specific chatbots, trained on a company's proprietary legal
corpus, can significantly reduce the time and effort required to find and analyze legal
information, thereby increasing efficiency and accuracy
Information Technologies Unit
Help desk chatbots
By capturing internal databases of helpdesk requests and responses, and structuring
them in a way that can be used to fine-tune Large Language Models (LLMs), IT
departments will be able to automate the handling of IT questions and requests more
effectively. This would optimize resources and reduce response times.
We expect that sooner than later, these capabilities will be supported by leading
helpdesk software companies, which will manage the technical aspects of
implementation and fine-tuning using your company's historical data.
Generate and maintain documentation
LLM models can significantly help in generating or maintaining documentation about
systems and/or processes that are up-to-date. Some examples include:
123

125. Automating Documentation Generation: With proper training, LLMs can take in raw
input data about a system or a process (such as system parameters, configurations, log
files, etc.) and generate a draft of the documentation, explaining how the system works,
how to use it, and even potential troubleshooting steps. These models can also help in
maintaining a consistent format and structure across all documentation, making it easier
to read and understand.
Keeping Documentation Up to Date: As systems and processes change over time,
LLMs can be used to update the documentation. Analyzing the differences between the
current system or process and the existing documentation, and then generating the
necessary updates.
Simplifying Technical Language: Another interesting use is to help in making
documentation more accessible to non-technical users by simplifying complex technical
language, jargon, and concepts into simpler, more understandable terms.
Writing, refactoring and reviewing code
Writing draft code: Generating code snippets based on the developer's input. This
could be particularly useful for less experienced developers or those working with
unfamiliar languages or libraries. This capability will ultimately reduce the learning curve
for new less experienced coders.
Accelerating and scaling development: One of the most notable capacities of code
LLMs is that they can generate boilerplate code, automate routine tasks, and offer
coding suggestions, thereby accelerating the development process. They can also scale
the development by providing support to multiple developers simultaneously. One of the
most prominent examples of this is GitHub Copilot, which can be integrated with IDEs
like Visual Studio Code and JetBrains, thereby elevating developers' productivity to a
new level.
Rewriting and refactoring code: LLMs can suggest ways to refactor or rewrite existing
code to make it cleaner, more efficient, or compatible with a different programming
language. For example, it could help convert Python code into Java or vice versa.
Documentation: Proper documentation is crucial for maintaining and understanding
code. As mentioned before, LLMs can automatically generate documentation for code,
ensuring that methods, classes, and functions are accurately and adequately described.
124

126. This can save developers a significant amount of time and effort, while simultaneously
ensuring code maintainability.
Code reviews: Code reviews is also another interesting way of applying LLMs in the
software development life cycle (SDLC) context, when used to automate the initial
stages of code reviews by identifying obvious errors, issues with coding standards, or
suggesting improvements.
Creating synthetic data
We've mentioned this previously, but it's worth reiterating in the context of the IT
department, particularly software development. The ability of LLMs to create synthetic
data is extremely useful. This feature comes into play when real data can't be used for
reasons related to security or regulations such as GDPR. In these situations, fake data
that aligns with a particular business case can be generated.
Architecting and designing new systems and/or software applications
Writing software requirements: Can assist in writing precise and understandable
software requirements. Can take the initial, possibly vague, requirements from
stakeholders and convert them into detailed, clear, and standardized software
requirements. These models can even provide suggestions to ensure all possible
scenarios are covered.
Architecting new systems: LLMs, when trained on a diverse set of system
architectures, can suggest optimal designs based on the given requirements. They can
consider various factors like scalability, performance, cost, and reliability to provide a
high-level system architecture. However, it's important to note that these suggestions
would still require validation from experienced system architects.
Designing software applications: Just like in previously mentioned contexts, LLMs
can aid in designing software applications. It can suggest the most suitable design
patterns, algorithms, or data structures based on a given set of requirements. It can also
help generate diagramming pseudo-code to illustrate the suggested design.
Data structures for analytics: Help in the process of determining how to automate
tasks like collecting, formatting, or purifying data, how data should be organized, such
as the entities and attributes in a relational database. Also, providing guidelines on
125

127. designing visuals like charts, graphs, or infographics, including the necessary data and
recommending the content to include in reports to ensure they are actionable for various
audiences, like executives, department leaders, and managers.
126

128. 127

129. Other areas of applicability for generative AI
Drug design
The process of bringing a new drug to market is lengthy and costly. According to a study
conducted in 2010, the average cost from the initial discovery stage to the point of
market introduction is around $1.8 billion. The drug discovery phase alone, which
typically spans three to six years, accounts for about a third of this total cost.
Generative AI has shown immense promise in accelerating this process and reducing
the associated costs. Using generative AI, pharmaceutical companies have been able
to design drugs for various applications in a matter of months rather than years. This
ability to quickly generate and test new drug compounds has the potential to
dramatically streamline the drug discovery process, cutting down both the time and
financial investment required.
Moreover, generative AI can help to predict how these new compounds will interact with
biological systems, further speeding up the initial testing phases. Thus, the integration
of generative AI into the drug discovery process represents a significant opportunity for
the pharmaceutical industry to enhance efficiency, drive innovation, and ultimately,
deliver life-saving medications to patients more rapidly.
Material science
Generative AI is making substantial impacts across various sectors, including
automotive, aerospace, defense, medical, electronics, and energy. It is revolutionizing
the creation of new materials by focusing on desired physical properties through a
process known as “inverse design”.
Unlike the traditional method, which relies on chance to discover a material with the
necessary properties, inverse design begins by defining the needed properties and then
uses AI to identify materials that are likely to exhibit those characteristics.
For instance, this method can lead to the discovery of materials with enhanced
conductivity or stronger magnetic attraction than current materials used in energy and
transportation sectors. In addition, it can also aid in finding materials that exhibit
128

130. superior corrosion resistance, which is particularly beneficial in environments where
durability and longevity are paramount.
This proactive, goal-oriented approach to materials discovery has the potential to
dramatically accelerate innovation, reduce development costs, and lead to better
products across a wide range of industries.
Chip design
Generative AI is harnessing the power of reinforcement learning, a specific machine
learning technique, to expedite the process of component placement in semiconductor
chip design, also known as floorplanning. Traditionally, this complex task required
human experts and took weeks to complete due to the intricate nature of chip layouts.
However, with generative AI, this procedure has been drastically streamlined, reducing
the product-development life cycle time from weeks to mere hours. This significant time
saving can result in greater efficiency, faster time-to-market, and potentially significant
cost savings, revolutionizing the semiconductor industry.
Parts design
Is also making a significant impact in sectors such as manufacturing, automotive,
aerospace, and defense, by enabling the creation of parts that are precisely tailored to
meet specific objectives and restrictions. These could be related to performance criteria,
material choice, or manufacturing techniques.
Take the automotive industry, for instance. By leveraging generative design, car
manufacturers can experiment with and implement lighter, more efficient designs. This
directly contributes to their mission of producing vehicles that are more fuel efficient,
enhancing sustainability while simultaneously boosting performance.
Protein design
The application of AI to protein design is gaining significant traction due to the progress
made in algorithm development and hardware capabilities.
129

131. Protein science has been especially prepared to leverage these advancements because
of the vast amount of effort dedicated over the past half-century to the curation and
annotation of biological data.
Protein design is a process that involves creating new proteins with certain
functionalities, which can be used in a variety of applications such as therapeutic drugs,
biofuels, and biomaterials. Generative AI technologies significantly enhance this
process by accelerating the design and evaluation of potential proteins.
Firstly, generative AI enables the exploration and generation of a vast number of protein
designs quickly and efficiently. This scalability means researchers can evaluate more
potential designs than would be feasible using traditional methods. Moreover, the AI can
effectively navigate the enormous space of potential protein sequences, uncovering
novel designs that might not be immediately apparent to human researchers.
Secondly, generative AI models, trained on large datasets of known proteins and their
properties, are capable of predicting the properties of a protein from its sequence. For
instance, they can predict how a protein will fold or its binding affinity to a specific target.
Using this predictive power, these models can create new proteins with desired
properties. This ability to learn from data allows the AI to identify the underlying patterns
that govern protein structure and function.
Finally, generative AI can be used in an iterative design process, whereby initial designs
are tested, and the results are used to improve the model and guide the creation of the
next set of designs. This can lead to the rapid convergence of optimal protein designs.
Therefore, generative AI can make protein design more efficient, innovative, and
effective, leading to the accelerated development of new proteins for a wide array of
applications.
130

132. 131

133. Training models with your data
You may have now realized that if you train a model with your own data, you could
potentially develop a service similar to ChatGPT. It could answer questions around a
specific area of your business, such as common Human Resources inquiries.
Furthermore, you could create a tool for your clients to ask questions about your
accrued expertise over the years.
It's important to distinguish between training and fine-tuning a generative AI model. As
we've previously discussed, training such a model is costly and time-consuming.
OpenAI has stated that the cost to build GPT-4 was around 100 million dollars.
Here are some of the challenges one might encounter when training your own
generative AI model:
Data Quantity and Quality: Generative models require a vast amount of
high-quality data to learn effectively. Gathering such data can be time-consuming
and expensive. Also, ensuring that data is diverse and representative is crucial,
or else the model may produce biased or narrow outputs. Most open-source
models, and even some commercial ones, are trained using open-source data
sources. These can include resources such as Wikipedia, Github, Common
Crawl, or EleutherAI's 'The Pile'.
Computational Resources: The training of complex generative models, such as
the ones that we are presenting in this book, requires substantial computational
power, leading to significant costs and energy use. The growing excitement
around generative AI models is causing a huge increase in hardware demand.
Consequently, there's a notable shortage of Nvidia GPUs and networking
equipment from both Broadcom and Nvidia.
Evaluation of Generated Outputs: Evaluating the quality of generated samples
can be tricky as there is no single correct answer, unlike supervised learning
tasks.
Controlling the Output: Generative models can sometimes produce
unpredictable results. Controlling overfitting and underfitting, along with avoiding
'mode collapse', is challenging and requires a lot of expertise and experience in
this field
132

134. Legal and Ethical Considerations: The trained models can create deep fakes,
generate misleading news, or produce other types of harmful content. The legal
and ethical implications of training and using these models are a significant
concern and require a lengthy and resource-intensive fine-tuning process,
sometimes involving thousands of people.
That said, if you still can afford the level of investment and personnel involved in training
your own model, it's likely best to start with one of the preexisting open source models
and expand it with your own data. These models usually come with very detailed
instructions on how to train them and the resources needed, making them a better
starting point than starting from scratch. At the time of writing, Falcon is the most
powerful open source language model on the market and is probably the best option to
start with. However, there are also other interesting model approaches like those based
on LLaMA, these are more focused on fine-tuning than on training the model itself and
are therefore less resource-intensive.
Fine-tuning an existing pretrained model
Way more interesting than training your own model is to fine-tune an existing model,
and this is already available as an option on the API versions of OpenAI’s and more
recently Google models, fine-tuning is way less expensive and requires less expertise.
Fine-tuning either a commercial or open-source model fundamentally follows the same
process, but the challenge lies in selecting and preparing the data we are using for
fine-tuning. This involves considering not only the quality and quantity of data, but also
its format. For Language Learning Models (LLMs), fine-tuning involves feeding the
model with a series of questions and answers. This means it's not as simple as
supplying all the PDFs, manuals, and procedures your company has amassed over the
years. You'll need to classify and format this information into a question-answer
structure, typically in plain text formats like CSV.
Aware of these challenges, some companies have started providing services and tools
to address them. For instance, H2O's WizardLM is designed to transform documents
into question-answer pairs suitable for this purpose. It's likely that more tools and
services will soon emerge to further assist in these tasks.
A common question that arises when fine-tuning commercial models, such as those
from OpenAI, is whether the company will use our data for further improvements or
133

135. fine-tuning of their models. The answer is a resounding 'no,' and this has been
emphatically clarified in their documentation, forums, and so forth.

137. Limitations and challenges
Taking into account that the Generative AI technologies are relatively new these
technologies come with certain limitations and challenges. Addressing these limitations
and challenges requires a multidisciplinary approach, involving collaboration between
data scientists, domain experts, ethicists, and legal professionals. Transparency,
accountability, and responsible governance frameworks are vital to overcome these
challenges and harness the potential of generative AI in a way that aligns with ethical
and legal considerations.
Data Requirements and Quality
As we have seen previously Generative AI models require large amounts of high-quality
data for effective training and fine-tuning. Obtaining and curating such datasets can be
challenging, especially when dealing with proprietary or sensitive enterprise data.
Insufficient or biased training data can lead to suboptimal results and potential ethical
concerns.
Mitigations
Data Anonymization and/or Aggregation: Ensure that sensitive or proprietary
data is anonymized or aggregated to protect individual identities or proprietary
information while still providing enough diversity for effective training.
Synthetic Data Generation: Consider generating synthetic data that closely
resembles real-world data but does not contain sensitive or proprietary
information. This approach can help mitigate the challenges of obtaining real
data while preserving privacy and data integrity.
Data Augmentation Techniques: Apply data augmentation techniques to
increase the diversity and quantity of available training data. These techniques
can include variations in data samples, transformations, or combinations to
provide a more comprehensive representation of the underlying patterns.
Transfer Learning and Pre-trained Models: Leverage pre-existing generative
AI models or pre-trained models to benefit from their knowledge and transfer it to
your specific use case. This can reduce the dependency on large-scale
proprietary datasets and accelerate the training process.
136

138. Active Learning and Iterative Feedback: Employ active learning techniques to
selectively label or acquire additional data points that are most informative for the
generative AI model. Utilize feedback loops and user interactions to continuously
improve the training data and refine the model's performance.
Bias Detection and Mitigation: Implement processes to detect and mitigate
biases within the training data. Conduct thorough analyses to identify potential
biases and employ techniques such as debiasing algorithms or fairness-aware
training methods to reduce biases in the generative AI outputs. We will see this
later in more detail.
External Data Sources and Open Datasets: Explore publicly available datasets
or external data sources that align with your use case to supplement and
enhance your training data. Ensure compliance with legal and ethical
considerations when incorporating external data sources.
Data Governance and Compliance: Establish robust data governance policies
and frameworks to ensure compliance with relevant data protection regulations.
Implement data management practices that prioritize privacy, security, and ethical
considerations throughout the data lifecycle.
Ongoing Evaluation and Model Monitoring: Continuously assess the

163

165. Using ChatGPT advanced capabilities
We need to consider that there is not just one way of leveraging the use of ChatGPT,
these are the four primary methods of accessing and utilizing ChatGPT as of now:
Direct Access: Users can directly interact with ChatGPT by logging in and using
the AI app on the OpenAI’s web platform.
Indirect Access: ChatGPT is indirectly utilized as an embedded feature within a
third party web application, one example is the chat feature in Microsoft Bing
search engine.
App-to-ChatGPT Integration: Users can connect ChatGPT to other applications
through the API, allowing interaction between your own application and
ChatGPT.
ChatGPT-to-App Integration: The newest addition which involves accessing
external applications directly from within ChatGPT through the use of plugins.
OpenAI’s API
By leveraging OpenAI's API, we now have the ability to connect our applications to
ChatGPT, thereby expanding our software's capabilities without the need for extensive
programming or coding efforts. For instance, a sales software provider could easily
empower their users to generate impressive sales emails by incorporating the ChatGPT
API. This integration is enabling a wide range of Natural Language Processing (NLP)
functionalities.
The potential uses of ChatGPT are expanding exponentially. Application providers are
already integrating the ChatGPT API into their ecosystem, which is becoming an
appealing prospect for software developers. This is due to the additional features it
brings to their applications and the prestige associated with the renowned ChatGPT
technology. The same can be applied to our internally developed software tools; we can
greatly enhance our tools through improved automation, more productivity, and
functionality, thus providing our companies with a unique competitive advantage.
164

166. ChatGPT plugins
ChatGPT plugins serve as extensions to the AI chatbot, enhancing its functionality. To
access this feature, you'll need a ChatGPT Plus subscription and ChatGPT-4 access via
the platform's store. OpenAI develops some of these plugins, but most are created by
third-party developers, offering a wide variety of features.
With hundreds of plugins available, each is designed to facilitate specific tasks. They
range from assisting you in crafting an ideal prompt to aiding in arranging flight and
restaurant reservations. Essentially, these plugins can enrich and extend your
interaction with the chatbot.
As for the cost, while most ChatGPT plugins are available at no extra charge, a paid
subscription to ChatGPT Plus is required to utilize them.
ChatGPT plugins can essentially enhance LLM applications through a
retrieval-augmented approach. For example, when the browsing plugin is activated in
the ChatGPT interface, the LLM gains the capability to scour the internet, gather current
information, and use this data to formulate a comprehensive response.
App makers of all kinds are eagerly anticipating this incredible opportunity. If you think
this is interesting for your organization, all you need to do is develop your own plugin,
submit it for consideration, and once approved by OpenAI, you will be joining the

In essence, this journey should be seen as a dance between playful exploration and
strategic preparedness. This approach will reduce the risks associated with new
technology adoption but also enhances the chances of reaping the maximum benefits of
generative AI.
Buy vs Build
As we have seen before the key decision in adopting generative AI is choosing between
creating and training your own model or leveraging an existing foundational model.
Given the significant expenses associated with building, training, and maintaining
models, it often makes more sense to select an existing model that aligns with your
business needs and customizing it, rather than starting from the ground up.
Also, as these technologies are still in their infancy, sourcing expertise can be
challenging. Thus, it is often more strategic to collaborate with specialized consulting
firms or those who specifically deal with generative AI solutions. They can provide the
necessary guidance and assistance to help your business effectively harness the
capabilities of generative AI.
167

169. Don’t go crazy, still expensive technology
AI chatbots cost money every time you use them and that is a problem.
The hefty computational requirements of AI are why OpenAI has refrained from using its
more potent language model, GPT-4, in the free version of ChatGPT, which continues to
operate on the less potent GPT-3.5 model. The foundational dataset for ChatGPT hasn't
been updated since September 2021, making it ineffective for exploring or discussing
contemporary events. Moreover, even those who pay a $20 monthly fee for GPT-4 can
only send a maximum of 25 messages every three hours due to the high operational
costs. Furthermore, this model is slower to respond.
These cost factors might explain why Google hasn't integrated an AI chatbot into its
primary search engine, which handles billions of queries daily. When Google launched
its Bard chatbot in March 2023, it chose not to employ its most extensive language
model PALM, later they corrected that given the comparisons made with the rival
ChatGPT. A single conversation with the latest version of BARD could be up to a
thousand times pricier than a simple Google search.
In a recent report on artificial intelligence, the Biden administration expressed concern
about the computational costs associated with generative AI, emphasizing its potential
environmental impact. The report highlighted the urgent need to develop sustainable
systems to address this issue.
Undoubtedly, the next generation of generative AI models will prioritize performance
while optimizing resource requirements. This trend may follow the path paved by
smaller models that focus more on the fine-tune phase than in the training itself. As this
evolution unfolds, it is expected that training custom models and deploying tools like
ChatGPT will become more affordable, potentially reaching a price point comparable to
traditional search technologies.
Despite the cost implications, many individuals and companies will still be drawn to the
allure of generative AI tools due to their significant advantages over human labor. While
expensive, they present a more cost-effective alternative to human resources.
168

170. Start small
Does then make sense to build and train your own generative AI model?
In most cases not, unless you intend to compete with large foundational models or build
an industry-specific model tailored for specific purposes.
Is true that the next wave in Generative AI models is expected to focus on
industry-specific applications. The decision to develop an industry-specific model
depends on the regulations governing your market, client expectations, and competition
within the industry.
For other cases and companies operating with tight budgets, a viable approach would
be to perform fine-tuning using your own data while ensuring data privacy during model
training. Additionally, integrating APIs from established commercial models into your
processes and products can prove to be sufficient, cost-effective, and yield a faster
return on investment (ROI).
There is also a hybrid approach, which involves leveraging the use of one of the most
advanced open-source pretrained models available, like Falcon, MosaicML, Dolly 2.0,
Chinchilla, etc, and then fine-tuning it appropriately without exposing your data.
When choosing one of the existing commercial models:
Ensure that the provider does not utilize your data for training or fine-tuning their
general service, thus preventing the exposure of your organization's knowledge and
intellectual property. Additionally, verify the security measures implemented by the
provider to safeguard your data. Even if the fine-tuning data is not used for training the
model, a potential security breach could still expose your data if it is uploaded to the
provider's platform. To mitigate this risk, it is advisable to rely on commercial models
offered by reputable cloud infrastructure providers, as they have proven to be strong
and mature in terms of security.
Undoubtedly, OpenAI is at the forefront with its most advanced model, ChatGPT, which
has generated considerable hype in the market. However, as a relatively young and
169

171. smaller company compared to the major cloud providers, OpenAI's security and support
levels may not meet the standards your company demands. In contrast, industry giants
such as Google, Microsoft, and Amazon are better positioned in terms of security,
service levels, and support.
Adopt tools like ChatGPT, but keep yourself and your team aware
of its side effects
Should we allow our employees to use generally available generative AI tools like
chatGPT, Midjourney, etc…?
Due to the social pressure generated by popular Generative AI tools like ChatGPT or
Midjourney, coupled with alarmist concerns from the media industry regarding security
and social implications associated with the new generation of AI tools, certain
organizations and countries have chosen to simply ban ChatGPT. Such decisions,
particularly at a country level, will undoubtedly have unexpected consequences, as they
create a significant divide between countries and companies that permit the use of this
technology and those that prohibit it. Ultimately, as more and more tools and
integrations emerge in the near future, some of which may go unnoticed by users, it
becomes akin to trying to put gates around an open field.
By now, you may have reached the conclusion that these technologies will bring
significant innovation and productivity gains to various parts of our organizations.
Therefore, it makes sense to explore and experiment with them. In general, and
considering the majority of opinions, it is advisable to allow our employees to use these
advanced tools. However, it is important to take certain factors into consideration:
