2024-04-04 , Room 228

The hype for GenAI keeps rising. Nowadays, almost every company wants to adopt this technology in their business, but in order to successfully deliver a GenAI project, it takes much more than just figuring out, what to ask ChatGPT. During the presentation, I'll introduce you to an AI platform, that allows users to deliver GenAI projects with confidence.


Watsonx is a new AI and data platform from IBM that empowers businesses to leverage the power of AI and data with trust, transparency and governance. The platform is based on the best open technologies available, providing model variety to cover enterprise use cases and compliance requirements.

IBM watsonx platform includes three core components:
* watsonx.ai - a studio for working with foundation models, GenAI and Machine Learning;
* watsonx.data - a single data store for scaling your AI workloads;
* watsonx.governance - a solution that allows you to direct, manage, monitor and govern your organisation’s AI activities.

The focus of the presentation will be around:
* watsonx.ai;
* watsonx.governance.

We will go through what’s available in watsonx.ai:
* Available LLMs;
* Prompt Lab;
* Code examples of how to integrate watsonx into your own solution.

Also we will cover how watsonx.governance helps with explainability of your GenAI model.
