In this feature article, Daniel D. Gutierrez, insideAInews Editor-in-Chief & Resident Data Scientist, believes that as generative AI continues to evolve, its potential applications across industries are boundless. For executives, understanding the foundational concepts of transformers, LLMs, self-attention, multi-modal models, and retrieval-augmented generation is crucial.
Opaque Systems Extends Confidential Computing to Augmented Language Model Implementations
In this contributed article, editorial consultant Jelani Harper discusses how Opaque Systems recently unveiled Opaque Gateway, a software offering that broadens the utility of confidential computing to include augmented prompt applications of language models. One of the chief use cases of the gateway technology is to protect the data privacy, data sovereignty, and data security of organizations’ data that frequently augments language model prompts with enterprise data sources.
Overcoming the Technical and Design Hurdles for Proactive AI Systems
In this contributed article, George Davis, founder and CEO of Frame AI, howlights how we find ourselves at an early, crucial stage in the AI R&D lifecycle. Excitement over AI’s potential is dragging it into commercial development well before reliable engineering practices have been established. Architectural patterns like RAG are essential in moving from theoretical models to deployable solutions.
2024 Trends in Data Technologies: Foundation Models and Confidential Computing
In this contributed article, editorial consultant Jelani Harper suggests that perhaps the single greatest force shaping—if not reshaping—the contemporary data sphere is the pervasive presence of foundation models. Manifest most acutely in deployments of generative Artificial Intelligence, these models are impacting everything from external customer interactions to internal employee interfaces with data systems.
What is a RAG?
In this contributed article, Magnus Revang, Chief Product Officer of Openstream.ai, points out that In the Large Language Model space, one acronym is frequently put forward as the solution to all the weaknesses. Hallucinations? RAG. Privacy? RAG. Confidentiality? RAG. Unfortunately, when asked to define RAG, the definitions are all over the place.
