Innovate with Cosmos DB, Semantic Kernel & AI

In this session, I will dive into the potential of integrating Azure Cosmos DB with artificial intelligence to craft intelligent, adaptive applications. Learn how Azure Cosmos DB's vector database capabilities, when merged with OpenAI's Large Language Models (LLMs) and the AI orchestration prowess of Semantic Kernel, pave the way for a new era of application development.

Discover architectural insights that enable AI and Azure Cosmos DB to work in concert, enhancing application responsiveness and scalability. Through practical strategies and real-world examples, I will showcase how these AI-driven applications are not just responding to immediate needs but are also adept at anticipating future demands across various sectors.

Join me on an enlightening journey into leveraging the combined power of AI and Azure Cosmos DB to create applications that lead the curve in innovation and user engagement.

The Ethical Paradox of AI: Navigating the Dark Side of a Bright Future

In this talk, we explore the ethical side of artificial intelligence (AI), focusing on biases found in large language models (LLMs). These technologies, while potent, tend to reflect societal prejudices. We will discuss who should be responsible for the outputs generated by these intelligent systems and the impact of such biases.

We will also look at the impact of intelligent automation on employment, especially in creative fields like voice acting and content creation. As AI takes on roles traditionally held by humans, we face important questions about the future of these professions. We will share examples where adopting these advanced systems has posed challenges, showing the need for a careful balance between innovation and protecting human skills.

This presentation is for everyone, whether you know a lot about technology or not. Our aim is to provoke thought about the ethical considerations of intelligent automation. We will talk about times when AI has not worked well and when its use has raised concerns. Our goal is to encourage a wise approach to AI development, ensuring it benefits everyone and respects our values.

AI-Infused Precision: Rethinking Project Estimations

In the multifaceted realm of IT project management, mastering the art of accurate estimations is a cornerstone for success, yet notoriously challenging to achieve. The balance between realistic timelines and efficient resource allocation hinges on accurate project forecasts. But what makes pinpointing these estimations so elusive in IT’s dynamic landscape?

We will delve into the art and complexities of IT project estimations, exploring strategies and data to improve accuracy and precision. This session is designed to enhance your estimation skills exploring potential assistance from AI and experimenting with Azure AI tools, including Azure AI Studio and Cognitive Search.

Join us to acquire actionable insights for advancing your estimation strategies in IT projects and exploring the integration of AI technologies. This session is perfectly suited for professionals aiming to merge classic estimation methods with innovative AI advancements, refining accuracy and efficiency.

Harnessing the Power of Materialised Views in Cosmos DB

As we navigate the digital age the shift away from the traditional database structures has transformed the way how we approach development. Technology has evolved to serve our needs more efficiently providing us with wider functionality and bigger computing abilities.

In this session, Olena will walk you through the fundamental concepts of the globally distributed, multi-model database and its transformative impact on how we approach the challenges of modern business. We will explore key features such as scalability, flexibility, and the novel 'Materialized Views' feature that enhances query performance. Using real-life examples, we will investigate different scenarios of processing the data to serve variable use cases.

Join Olena for this enlightening and demo-rich session where she will demonstrate the innovative features of Azure Cosmos DB in combination with other Azure services. We will explore the challenges and benefits of moving away from traditional database approaches, highlighting the power of data denormalization in web-scale systems.

Next-Gen Data Solutions: Applying AI in Azure Cosmos DB Data Modeling

Navigating the complexities of data modeling in Azure Cosmos DB requires a nuanced understanding of partition key selection and data distribution. This session introduces a forward-thinking solution: leveraging artificial intelligence to optimize these aspects. We will begin by addressing the intricacies of data modeling in a schema-less, document-based database environment, focusing on the importance of effective partitioning strategies.

Merging theory with practical application, we will explore how AI tools can significantly aid in making informed decisions about data structuring. By analyzing patterns and predicting outcomes, these intelligent systems become an invaluable ally in enhancing database performance and scalability. This presentation will feature real-life examples, illustrating how AI can resolve common challenges in data modeling and partition key selection within Azure Cosmos DB.

In this session, you will gain insights into utilizing machine intelligence for smarter data modeling, ensuring that your Azure Cosmos DB usage is not only powerful but also strategically aligned with the needs of your applications.

AI-Driven Development: Reshaping the Future of Coding

In the swiftly evolving landscape of software development, AI-assisted technologies are not just additional tools but are becoming central to the development process, transforming how developers work and the skills they need to succeed.

This session delves into the profound impact of AI on software creation, offering developers strategies to harness AI's potential and stay ahead in their careers. Through a practical demonstration, we will show how AI tools not only increase productivity but also prompt a reevaluation of current technical skills and practices.

Designed for forward-thinking developers, this presentation aims to equip you with the knowledge to excel in an AI-driven future. Attendees will gain a holistic understanding of how to adapt their skills and solutions to thrive in an AI-enhanced development landscape. Join us to future-proof your career and redefine what it means to be a developer in the age of artificial intelligence.
