Artificial Intelligence
You may be interested in creating agents with the Microsoft Semantic Kernel using GPT Assistants for handling complex problem-solving tasks. It uses AI to coordinate the work among multiple assistants. Each assistant has its own persona and tools, operating as separate GPTs. The days of manually managing conversation states and chat threads are behind us. Now, with the support of these assistants, we can have conversations that remember their context. In the next talk I explore how these assistants can interact in three different scenarios: - hierarchical chat agents (interactive chat) - joint chat agents (interactive chat) - agent powered by agents as plugins chat (one prompt chat) For this, I have created four agents, each representing a different hero: Jack Sparrow, Don Quijote, Shakespeare, and Yoda. Additionally, I have a dialogue writer agent that takes a dialogue script and brings these heroes to life. Well, let's see what happens when Jack Sparrow is messing up with Don Quijote!

Over time, the Azure Monitor agent will replace the legacy monitoring agents that Azure Monitor currently employs. The Log Analytics agent is responsible for transmitting data to a Log Analytics workspace and provides support for VM insights and monitoring solutions. In addition to consolidating this functionality into a single agent, the Azure Monitor agent provides various benefits over the existing agents, such as cost savings, granular targeting through Data Collection Rules for collecting specific data types from specific machines, and improved security and performance.

Securing the cloud resources of your environment is an error-prone and time-consuming task when performed manually. In fact, there are many examples of data breaches caused by misconfiguration of the cloud resources like S3 buckets or Cloud storage accounts. But, there are better ways to automate this process with a couple of technical approaches that you can use to mitigate these risks including cloud resource hygiene with infrastructure-as-code (IaC). In fact, by eliminating manual configuration and shifting to infrastructure-as-code (IaC) your organization can minimize this threat and improve the security posture of the workloads. Join my session to learn how you could eliminate these risks by following DevSecOps principles. Learn how IaC could allow you to version control changes in the Azure cloud environments.

Large Language Models (LLMs) are the core of enterprise Generative AI applications. They can process and generate natural language, but they require additional components to handle user interactions, security, and other functionality to respond to or act on user inputs. The collection of these components and services that form a functional solution is called a Generative AI application. A best practice when developing a Gen AI application is to follow a standard AI Lifecycle and embed security at each phase of the AI lifecycle. Implementations must not neglect the basics such as authentication, authorization, protecting customer data, etc., which are required for AI solution just like for any other cloud solution. After we have addressed the basics, there are specific aspects for LLM and Generative AI security requiring special attention. Details vary depending on the implementation and are constantly changing in this fast-growing field, but understanding something about the properties allows us to address specific implementation needs. One way to think about securing it is to view the model as essentially intelligence in a black box that has certain defining characteristics: • AI models are stochastic/non-deterministic, requiring an engineer to account for them spontaneously failing or being incorrect. In some sense it doesn't matter if the failure is intentional (due to poisoned training data, adversarial input, etc.) or unintentional (the model is not accurate). Engineers need to expect failure, and it is likely best to assume failure in the worst and most spectacular way. • If you're giving it any data at all, either in the context window (via patterns like RAG) or by fine-tuning the model, it may include/leak data in its response. Building on these two attributes the session provides security guidance for the phases of the Generative AI lifecycle that will ensure that your AI solution has healthy security posture from the start.

Joke's on them cause I would have done the same even without the restriction! This is the story of an Azure architecture that was designed to consume 100 requests per hour, then the requirements changed and we had to consume 1000 requests per minute, while the budget remained the same. In this session, I will show you the tricks I used to go around the various limitations of Azure's cheapest (yet production-eligible) tiers of Azure Functions, Logic Apps, Azure Data Factory, Azure Service Bus and others. Spoiler: I used code here & there.

Azure AI Services is a set of Services providing Artificial Intelligence features to business applications, without being an expert in machine-learning algorithms. Hence, the services are targeted to developers without a specific machine-learning experience, who want to apply some "intelligence” to their solutions. Azure AI Services are the “evolution” of Cognitive Services which are no longer existing as separate offering. The range of available features allows to solve common business problems, such as analyzing a text, analyzing an image, browsing a document content, language understanding and translation, etc. During the session, I will give you an overview of the existing AI services, I will explain the Azure resources you need to create for accessing the services and the pricing tiers. And I will show how to consume some of the services. For example, calling the built-in AI services existing in Power BI, or creating your own function to call the API from Power Automate or other tools. At the end of the session, you’ll have a clear understanding of the available AI services offering, how to run them in your environment and how to take costs under control.

In this talk we will present how we use Azure AI services to build our foundational Compliance AI that serves as the basis for Copilot and Chatbot functionality in our products for financial services. The core of our product are digital rules that help our clients to stay compliant in cross-border situations. We built a first pilot project to answer compliance questions based on document content like internal policies, applying retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) approaches to achieve high accuracy for different document types and content structures. We will present our findings on how the current AI offer on Azure can support building quick prototypes, but also allow for iterative development to reach a production ready solution. We will guide you through the first steps within the Azure AI studio, but also show you our best practices to use the Azure AI APIs directly from our service infrastructure. We will also explain in detail the advantages and disadvantages of each approach and will share our advice to start your own RAG-based copilots. Last but not least we will connect the dots to complementary Azure services like Azure Functions to implement data pipelines that feed the data to your AI products.
