From Data to Intelligent Agents: Building Trusted Enterprise AI with Microsoft AI Foundry with Shubhangi Goyal [MVP]
Enterprise AI is entering a new phase where success is no longer measured by impressive demos but by real business outcomes. Organizations are moving beyond experimenting with large language models and are now focused on building intelligent AI agents that are secure, scalable, and trusted by employees and customers alike. In this episode of the M365.fm podcast, Microsoft MVP Shubhangi Goyal joins Mirko Peters to explore how Microsoft AI Foundry enables enterprises to design, deploy, and govern AI solutions that create measurable value.
WHY DATA QUALITY IS THE FOUNDATION OF EVERY SUCCESSFUL AI PROJECT
One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation is that AI is only as good as the data behind it. Shubhangi explains why organizations must prioritize high-quality, well-governed data before investing heavily in AI initiatives. The discussion covers AI readiness, context engineering, responsible AI, and why clean enterprise data remains the most valuable asset for building reliable AI agents that users can actually trust.
MICROSOFT AI FOUNDRY EXPLAINED: FROM MODELS TO PRODUCTION-READY AI AGENTS
Discover how Microsoft AI Foundry brings together foundation models, AI agents, evaluation tools, observability, guardrails, and enterprise governance into a single platform. Shubhangi explains how AI Foundry integrates with Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI Search, and enterprise knowledge sources while comparing its capabilities with Copilot Studio and discussing when each platform is the right choice for different AI scenarios.
BUILDING RESPONSIBLE AI WITH GOVERNANCE, SECURITY, AND TRUST
Responsible AI is about much more than compliance. This episode explores AI governance frameworks, security controls, guardrails, hallucination mitigation, red teaming, explainable AI, and continuous evaluation. Learn why enterprises must embed governance into every stage of AI development instead of treating it as an afterthought and how trust ultimately determines whether an AI solution succeeds or fails.
MAXIMIZING ROI FROM ENTERPRISE AI INVESTMENTS
Many organizations invest heavily in AI but struggle to demonstrate measurable business value. Shubhangi shares practical advice on identifying high-impact AI use cases, selecting the right models, balancing cost versus performance, improving productivity, and calculating return on investment. She explains why successful AI adoption starts with solving real business problems instead of deploying AI simply because it's the latest trend.
THE FUTURE OF AGENTIC AI AND MICROSOFT'S AI ECOSYSTEM
Looking ahead, the conversation explores the future of enterprise AI, including AI memory management, multi-agent systems, context engineering, enterprise knowledge, and the rapid evolution of Microsoft AI Foundry. Whether you're an IT professional, AI engineer, architect, data scientist, Microsoft partner, or business leader, this episode provides practical insights for building intelligent, trustworthy AI.

00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,600
Hello everyone, welcome back to another episode of VM 365 FAM podcast.
2
00:00:05,600 --> 00:00:08,720
I'm your host, Mocropitas, and today we are diving into one of the
3
00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:12,720
hottest topics in the Microsoft ecosystem, Enterprise AI.
4
00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:17,120
Over the last two years, we all have been talking about
5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:22,080
ChatGPT, Co-Pilot, and Generative AI, but building AI that
6
00:00:22,080 --> 00:00:26,080
actually creates business value in certain organizations, we cry out much more
7
00:00:26,080 --> 00:00:27,840
than great prompts.
8
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:31,280
Today is guest understand exactly what happened behind the scene.
9
00:00:31,280 --> 00:00:35,920
Joining me is Shupag, Yiyal, Microsoft MVP, International,
10
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:39,280
Rigenized Speaker, Zenyur, Daychallant, AI professional, and
11
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:42,880
somewhat, we have spent more than indicate helping organizations
12
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:46,080
turn data into intelligent decision making.
13
00:00:46,080 --> 00:00:49,920
We'll explore Microsoft AI Foundry, Azure, OpenAI,
14
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:52,640
Data Science, Responsible AI, Enterprise Adoptions,
15
00:00:52,640 --> 00:00:56,720
the future of intelligent agents, and why good AI
16
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,040
always start with good data.
17
00:00:59,040 --> 00:01:04,080
Yeah, Shupag, you're welcome to the NC65s as N, it's fantastic to have you here.
18
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:09,040
Thank you, great to be here, and I'm looking forward to sharing all the insights
19
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:12,560
that I have in this area. And yeah, of course, AI has really,
20
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,360
I would say, full of load now in the past few years, and
21
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:22,320
we are seeing literally being a part of everything we could potentially imagine.
22
00:01:22,320 --> 00:01:27,920
Yeah, yeah, first thing I congratulate you to your RENU and the MVP award.
23
00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:38,320
Can you tell us a little bit about you, how you get into the data world,
24
00:01:38,320 --> 00:01:44,960
data science world, and especially how you change to AI, and why Microsoft?
25
00:01:44,960 --> 00:01:48,000
Yeah, actually, that's quite interesting.
26
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:53,760
So I think around 10 years ago, I would say at least more like 13 actually.
27
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:57,760
So I pursued computer science engineering, and there was my first degree,
28
00:01:57,760 --> 00:02:03,680
and when I graduated from my course, I, at the time,
29
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,600
like for example, data science was like one of the most, I would say,
30
00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:12,800
booming career arena. And when I joined my first job, which was back in India,
31
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:16,240
I basically had the opportunity to work on some of the projects,
32
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:20,560
which really sparked my interest in that area. And it led me to basically work on some of
33
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:24,640
the projects there, which were mostly around like, you know, building machine learning models,
34
00:02:24,640 --> 00:02:28,240
and like, you know, analyzing data and seeing how predictive modeling works.
35
00:02:28,240 --> 00:02:31,600
So that's how I went into the world of, you know, data.
36
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,720
And it became something which is like, I really enjoy working with.
37
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:40,000
I can see like how, if you use effectively, that as a part of your, like, you know,
38
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,320
as a business, how it can create impact, and how can find opportunities.
39
00:02:44,320 --> 00:02:49,520
And then like about seven years ago, I moved to the UK, and I graduated from University of
40
00:02:49,520 --> 00:02:53,520
Pat, I pursued my master's there. So I sort of moved from, I would say,
41
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:58,960
a share to Europe in a way. And then my first job, I worked for an AI startup.
42
00:02:58,960 --> 00:03:05,040
And they are basically from data science, I entered into the arena of AI, and the rest is,
43
00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:10,960
as I said, like history. And I think one of the interesting parts of working in that job was like,
44
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:16,080
I learned a lot more about AI, what AI really means. And I think when I joined that role,
45
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:21,360
I thought that, you know, this is something just going to happen in maybe some years of time,
46
00:03:21,360 --> 00:03:25,360
but actually happened a lot before. And I was working on some of the projects there,
47
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:30,640
which were already in the space, like for example, for example, wise agents, or like,
48
00:03:30,640 --> 00:03:36,320
building web char agents and so on. And then when AI came, it actually expanded that a lot more.
49
00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:42,800
And I just ended up like where I am. And yeah, like I have basically worked a lot of Microsoft tech
50
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:48,880
in the Microsoft ecosystem. And also with Microsoft as like the customer in my first job. So it's like
51
00:03:48,880 --> 00:03:53,920
a lot of, I will say like using the ecosystem entirely, you know, working on Azure, for example,
52
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:59,600
or even using data platform tooling and also like working now on Foundry. So yeah,
53
00:03:59,600 --> 00:04:03,760
this is how basically my journey began. I think it was more like, you know, it's just,
54
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:08,240
I wouldn't say it's like I venture into AI. It's just like, you know, happened a longer way. And like,
55
00:04:08,240 --> 00:04:13,360
I enjoyed it so much that I just thought, you know, this is like something I would want to be a part
56
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:17,600
of and remain a part of for as long as I want to be. So yeah, this is how it ended up.
57
00:04:17,600 --> 00:04:27,600
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You have said you have started at the start up. And now you are in the enterprise world.
58
00:04:28,640 --> 00:04:35,360
How different is working in these both worlds? So obviously like if we talk about working like
59
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:40,560
big corporate enterprise world versus working in startups, the working cell is quite different.
60
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:44,560
Startups are definitely higher-paced and like, you know, faster-paced, no matter where you work. And
61
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:50,480
enterprise are like most sort of like the move, but like you have to be like, you know, they have to
62
00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:55,760
be like super like careful with the fact that you know, when we are moving, making changes,
63
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,840
how does that impact like the entire organization? And then like when you work on start this,
64
00:04:59,840 --> 00:05:04,960
also you can have like access to a lot more, I would say cutting edge technologies, which I still
65
00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:08,880
have, but I think startups because they can move faster, they can experiment a lot faster than
66
00:05:08,880 --> 00:05:13,520
that's what I can say at least. In like big corporates, like you will have to make sure that,
67
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:18,800
for example, even if you're performing a migration, then like, how does that migration impact the
68
00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:24,400
entire, for example, structure of an approach that you have built? How, how to change? And then
69
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:29,120
what's the ultimate goal we are trying to check? So I would say enterprise AI has, you know,
70
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:34,640
where if I see it like, evolved a lot more in the sense like you can see that previously people
71
00:05:34,640 --> 00:05:38,960
were experimenting with it, but now it has reached a stage of maturity with organizations,
72
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:44,880
actively want to derive value from it. And having said that I know that there has been a lot of,
73
00:05:44,880 --> 00:05:49,120
you know, discussion going on that, you know, a lot of people don't see benefits and so on.
74
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:53,840
But I think it starts with recognizing the right use case of where you can implement AI.
75
00:05:53,840 --> 00:05:59,840
Like are you trying to aim that, okay, I have this product I'm going to create or build with AI,
76
00:05:59,840 --> 00:06:06,160
but I'm expecting, for example, this ROI on this or I'm expecting that, for example, the effort of
77
00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:12,640
the process I'm currently using, it can be optimized or can be made better. So thinking about enterprise
78
00:06:12,640 --> 00:06:17,520
AI, it starts with that mindset that, okay, this is the use case and also be slightly realistic about
79
00:06:17,520 --> 00:06:24,720
it that at the end of the day, like, do we have in a free sources time and, you know, right people and,
80
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:29,600
you know, the right platform to build it because there are robust designs really important when you
81
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:34,640
build the system. It's not just about having a large language panel. It's also about having a
82
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:40,800
robust design that actually, you know, caters to the need of like, whatever your goal is with that AI
83
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:47,200
application that you are trying to build. Yeah, I say every company or everyone,
84
00:06:47,200 --> 00:06:57,680
everyone wants AI today, but how important is the data quality or was stayed with the data before I
85
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:06,720
buy tools or edit? So data quality is a really, very big part of it. So today you design, like,
86
00:07:06,720 --> 00:07:10,800
for example, you build an AI agent or you go in the world of agent together, right, it still operates
87
00:07:10,800 --> 00:07:15,600
on some sort of data, enterprise data, customer data, whatever your organizational data is. It's not
88
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:21,440
happening just that you can take some lush language model, plug it into your application, build like a
89
00:07:21,440 --> 00:07:26,720
front end and so on. It wouldn't work that way. And a lot of times, like, the data is not structured or
90
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:32,000
it is not like the quality is not taken care of in a way that AI needs because, you know, it has
91
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:37,840
hallucinates and there are times you might not get relevant outcomes or the right processes.
92
00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:42,320
And so it's super important to make sure that which people right now call this sort of context
93
00:07:42,320 --> 00:07:47,120
engineering, like, that's I think I would say it's a little bit like overlap there. So you have to
94
00:07:47,120 --> 00:07:53,600
make sure that the right context is provided to your AI application in the first place to make it
95
00:07:53,600 --> 00:07:58,320
like useful and also reliable for things. So today you are building an application that serves
96
00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:03,840
different arena of customers, maybe like there are students, they could be like people who are in
97
00:08:03,840 --> 00:08:08,880
mid-age or maybe like older population that you have to make sure that it is able to cater to
98
00:08:08,880 --> 00:08:14,880
this wide set of audience and, you know, is actually user friendly. I would say like user experience is
99
00:08:14,880 --> 00:08:19,840
great and then also like, big and trust it in the first place and that's where responsibility
100
00:08:19,840 --> 00:08:25,840
I ventures into the picture. And for most part, if you are a B2B company, right, like, the other
101
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:30,480
business is going to purchase your product because they want to also understand how you have built
102
00:08:30,480 --> 00:08:35,760
the product firstly, then I think they would also want to know like how your AI has entered
103
00:08:35,760 --> 00:08:40,240
up like making some decisions, which I think is called sort of like an expandable AI like.
104
00:08:40,240 --> 00:08:45,520
So if you can't explain how it has worked, I don't think they would be able to trust it entirely. So
105
00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:52,160
it's super important these small aspects while building it. And then data quality is another key area.
106
00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:57,760
So for example, if I'm asking similar set of questions every single time or testing it, right,
107
00:08:57,760 --> 00:09:02,400
would it give me similar outcomes? Will it change? And then how much would that change be? And
108
00:09:02,400 --> 00:09:09,600
me as a customer, am I happy to have that change? I think those are some nuances which you can only
109
00:09:09,600 --> 00:09:14,560
know when you test it enough, but even like after building it. So I would say there is like a whole
110
00:09:14,560 --> 00:09:18,240
lot of process involved to ensure data quality is at the right point.
111
00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:28,160
And when we have data quality, what other things a company needs to be a, or a chief AI readiness?
112
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:34,960
So AI readiness is a very broad term and there's so many things that fall under AI readiness.
113
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:40,560
Like see, there are things for example, one side is like you are building things because you want to
114
00:09:40,560 --> 00:09:46,560
like make sure that your company is like, or organization is like using AI effectively.
115
00:09:46,560 --> 00:09:51,520
Then there is a second side where you also want to use it, which is like people call AI adoption sort
116
00:09:51,520 --> 00:09:56,800
of. And everyone is up to speed, they know for example, whatever the data stool is in market.
117
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:01,120
So let's say if I'm using co-pilot, you should know how to use co-pilot for example, or actually
118
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,320
strike brain prompts because sometimes you might have heard actually like people say, oh I gave this
119
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:12,000
prompt, this is not the outcome I expected from it. And couple of sessions I think I've been on,
120
00:10:12,000 --> 00:10:16,320
like I asked a lot of people, you know, like out of curiosity, you know, how many people, how many of
121
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:21,360
them can say they write brain prompts? And it's quite hilarious because every time I see one or two people
122
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:26,640
just raising hands. So like even today, you know, because it's it's like three, four years now, like you
123
00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:32,240
would expect like people know this. But now what happens is like a lot of people when they talk about
124
00:10:32,240 --> 00:10:37,040
AI readiness, they don't talk or just building, they also talk about how the company as a whole is moving.
125
00:10:37,040 --> 00:10:43,040
Is everyone having access to the latest tools? How those tools are being used? How can you like, you know,
126
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:48,560
make the productivity sort of better? So you might have heard about token maxing is like one of the
127
00:10:48,560 --> 00:10:54,000
things which have been happening, I think I did some articles around it like that people are trying to
128
00:10:54,000 --> 00:11:00,080
use that and make sure they're using maximum of tokens to show productivity. So there are a lot of
129
00:11:00,080 --> 00:11:06,320
a lot of things happening. And so when you talk about AI readiness, like firstly, it's if you're
130
00:11:06,320 --> 00:11:10,960
thinking if I'm builder's lens, you should be able to ensure you use the right language model,
131
00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:16,160
you have like a right use case for it. What is the goal you are trying to achieve with that use case?
132
00:11:16,160 --> 00:11:23,120
The right tool that fits into your stack and then obviously like good quality data that you can
133
00:11:23,120 --> 00:11:27,920
feedback into it and it doesn't have to be a knowledge base. It could be historical, some
134
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:32,640
historical data, it could be some instructions or testing data, like whatever you can leverage
135
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:37,760
essentially. And then second part of readiness is like making sure everybody in organization has
136
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:42,480
access to that tools and no matter where they are in the career journey, they're able to use
137
00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:48,240
that effectively for their jobs. And you know because anything which is repeated can be automated.
138
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:54,160
So if that thought process is there, you can save more time to do those tasks which require
139
00:11:54,160 --> 00:11:58,480
like a lot more effort because I know a lot of things I've been part of there's always some technical
140
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:03,280
depth. And you know like there's always a thing you know, oh we have to do these things but we can't
141
00:12:03,280 --> 00:12:09,440
do this because we have to prioritize these X items. So maybe like that's one arena like people can
142
00:12:09,440 --> 00:12:13,920
think about when they think about air readiness. Okay this work is something we can probably automate
143
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:22,320
with AI and let's see if it can do the job for you. Yeah. Would you say AI can compensate poor data?
144
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:30,800
When you say composite, what did I do mean like like if we use AI for like
145
00:12:30,800 --> 00:12:38,960
like analyzing or checking anything that it's okay? Yeah or make the data better. I think a little
146
00:12:38,960 --> 00:12:48,720
bit about the co-pilot in fabrics so it can bring the data formats in the I don't know that's
147
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:57,520
make sense. That's something like this. But did you see AI also can help here or is it really
148
00:12:57,520 --> 00:13:07,040
human manual work to get good data? So I think with data quality, I think like I would say like
149
00:13:07,040 --> 00:13:13,360
it can help you explore the avenues. But I still I feel like I know a lot of platforms offer some
150
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:19,200
like facilities now in which you can assist you but I think you will still have to do some
151
00:13:19,200 --> 00:13:23,520
I would say at least a part of the work to make sure that the data quality is up to the level you
152
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:28,400
would need it to be. So I think it's gonna be more like collaboration. It wouldn't be just one
153
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,040
thing or the other but if you use it in the right way it can assist you but I think if I would see
154
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:38,160
does like a human AI collaboration other than hey can AI do it, can human do it sort of and if they
155
00:13:38,160 --> 00:13:43,520
go hand in hand together they can be as a higher chance of making things useful especially in the
156
00:13:43,520 --> 00:13:47,920
space of data quality I would say. So I don't think it's just gonna be one or the other. I think it can
157
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:51,200
help you identify a lot of avenues. It's more like a collaboration between the two things.
158
00:13:51,200 --> 00:14:02,720
I think I don't know before I data analytics was also a big big thing. How did you
159
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:16,000
think the analytics part has changed from these times before before pre-area and as I first
160
00:14:16,000 --> 00:14:23,760
will now? So I think it's a very good question because I data analytics is obviously like it's
161
00:14:23,760 --> 00:14:28,240
data teams especially analytics is sit with the business and their job is to support the
162
00:14:28,240 --> 00:14:34,000
business and a lot of job actually involves building reports and analyzing large data sets maybe
163
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:40,000
writing SQL queries to fetch data from whichever background you're using. Now when we talk about
164
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:45,440
implementing AI it's like people are moving towards conversational AI where they want AI
165
00:14:45,440 --> 00:14:50,960
assisted analytics. So essentially what I've seen is like you still use you will still use the
166
00:14:50,960 --> 00:14:57,200
same data set but then like AI would be sort of like your assistant and that would facilitate the
167
00:14:57,200 --> 00:15:01,680
outcome for you. Now when we talk about it's a building dashboard right it can assist you for example
168
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:07,200
hey I want to write that expression and maybe like somebody is not super pro in this or something so
169
00:15:07,200 --> 00:15:13,760
they can use AI to get some support. For example like you know they can use some ideas for designing
170
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:18,880
visualization or like so it's more or more of like you know you can build it but it will assist you
171
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:23,920
in a larger scheme of things but then like there's another side of it like for example you want to
172
00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:28,320
analyze data and you can build an AI agent but then for that you will need the data that you will
173
00:15:28,320 --> 00:15:32,960
still use for analysis and then you will have to verify that as well unless you have automated checks
174
00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:37,680
that can do that for you. So today let's see you're on an A/B testing or a campaign data
175
00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:43,760
and you've built an AI agent for like giving sort of recommendations or I would say build a
176
00:15:43,760 --> 00:15:48,240
report for yourself which you have to present somewhere. Now okay Dran it did the entire thing
177
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:52,320
but then still you will have to check right like what's happening unless you have built some
178
00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:58,080
automated tests because I think what the larger part of whole process is like you cannot be sure
179
00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:02,880
unless there's some sort of validation checkpoint available that the outcome is right. So
180
00:16:02,880 --> 00:16:08,720
I see conversation analytics is one area which is definitely a lot in discussion and some people
181
00:16:08,720 --> 00:16:13,680
actively working on it and then obviously like dashboard building has become like you can see
182
00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:19,040
a lot of people using AI in conjunction with dashboards to like you know build them faster and I think
183
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:24,320
like there are other arenas as well which I know that I know and I have been part of some where like
184
00:16:24,320 --> 00:16:31,040
people are actually thinking that maybe AI can do a lot more panellitic work because it can.
185
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:36,160
But I think like for example designing by framing. So I know a lot of people use now
186
00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:41,200
cloud design for example because it can do that for you and previously we were using
187
00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:46,000
different other tools to build by our frame so it recreates a lot of things quite quickly
188
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:52,720
and you can for example see them in a matter of five or two seconds or maybe less than a minute or
189
00:16:52,720 --> 00:16:57,040
so yeah like there are arenas you have to identify which arena you want to use it for
190
00:16:57,040 --> 00:17:01,920
and like you know maybe brainstorming is funny arena like when you are designing dashboards.
191
00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:05,840
So conversation analytics is definitely one thing which I think is a lot of people are actively
192
00:17:05,840 --> 00:17:13,200
working on to ensure that AI can support them and you know speed up the process of you know analyzing data.
193
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:23,360
Yeah I think since I don't know 20 years a lot of people say excel is that it looks like it's still
194
00:17:23,360 --> 00:17:31,120
existing in a lot of companies but whereas really getting still I found it's what's happened with
195
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:36,800
Power BI. It's so hyped and now nearly no one writes about Power BI.
196
00:17:38,800 --> 00:17:48,000
I mean I think I still I mean I'm using excel so in part so I wouldn't say it's gone so I think like
197
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:54,560
it's different perspectives I would say like I mean like Power BI is a great tool and I've used
198
00:17:54,560 --> 00:18:02,560
myself like a lot of times in the past and like I don't know like what other people's opinion are
199
00:18:02,560 --> 00:18:07,200
but I think like with the capability that the co-pilot provides you can create like great
200
00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:13,120
things on Power BI like I've seen so many examples on you know socials and LinkedIn and so on people
201
00:18:13,120 --> 00:18:19,760
publish the reports and I think like with obviously with co-pilot becoming more you know more
202
00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,160
a little more like keep on developing and keep on becoming a bigger product I think it will
203
00:18:24,160 --> 00:18:28,320
probably go very well along with like how power way it will become like a bigger product probably
204
00:18:28,320 --> 00:18:33,680
from where it is now so I think it's like one of those arenas I think people have different opinions
205
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:38,720
on this so I think like I personally feel like both of those products are like I've used them quite a
206
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:46,640
lot and I still use both of them so yeah yeah you're also an expert in the AI Microsoft AI Foundry
207
00:18:46,640 --> 00:18:54,640
as a I foundry I foundry I don't know what what what name we choose I think everyone
208
00:18:54,640 --> 00:19:02,560
I once they use another name but what what is it exactly so Microsoft Foundry yeah it was
209
00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:08,080
before it was really I think it was basically Azure AI Foundry so Microsoft Foundry is sort of like your
210
00:19:08,080 --> 00:19:13,840
enterprise AI platform so if a developer yeah engineer or a data scientist you can use it to
211
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:18,640
build like enterprise scale applications so it offers a lot of capabilities like for example that
212
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:23,360
tool has a model catalog so you can see all the different models it offers and then it provides sort
213
00:19:23,360 --> 00:19:28,560
of like you know breakdown by cost throughput benchmarking and so on so you will be able to see
214
00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:33,840
like which model is performing the best or sort of like which is a top performing model then it
215
00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:40,560
you can build agents guardrails memory and you can also find junior models you will definitely need
216
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,600
like to deploy one of the models before you can use it and then it also offers capabilities
217
00:19:45,600 --> 00:19:50,720
on like observability and tracing so basically is an entire sort of package I would say which has
218
00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:57,600
a lot of stuck to offer and like I would say like I've used like it a lot quite a lot and like
219
00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:04,480
it is obviously like new things have been added and like it's growing like constantly and I think
220
00:20:04,480 --> 00:20:11,120
like the product also if you use it like if you like try to build it you will be able to use it
221
00:20:11,120 --> 00:20:16,560
quite easily like it's very user friendly like in the sense like you can like easily get up to speed
222
00:20:16,560 --> 00:20:21,840
to like you know build stuff and you know test out and like new features are coming in every other day
223
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,080
so basically if you are a developer or even if you are like somebody who is exploding the rena
224
00:20:26,080 --> 00:20:30,160
I would recommend you to give it a try because it actually helps you to learn a lot more about like
225
00:20:30,160 --> 00:20:34,800
you know how AI can actually be implemented and you can be your own agent you can wonder your
226
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:40,720
own agent and you can also evaluate it so you have like this entire thing in one one place which I
227
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:50,320
think is really cool yeah and and and how well there was Microsoft fabric fit into the story
228
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:56,320
so like basically like when you have to create like a knowledge base which is sort of like the data
229
00:20:56,320 --> 00:21:01,200
that you provide or information that you provide so you can have fabric IQ so they have there's like
230
00:21:01,200 --> 00:21:05,840
fabric IQ there is work IQ and there is found break here so they these three are sort of like they can
231
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:11,920
work in collaboration sort of and if you are using or building ontologies or semantic layer on fabric
232
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:17,760
you can also use that in like conjunction with found reagents as well so basically like that's where
233
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:22,480
like you can merge sort of those things together so they are independent they can be collaborative
234
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:32,160
you can say that I think we have another tool co-pilot studio where did you see the the difference
235
00:21:32,160 --> 00:21:41,680
to AI foundry over co-pilot studio so like like both of those tools are great but like I think
236
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:49,360
with foundry like I have found this like I feel like I like I use it a lot and I feel like you
237
00:21:49,360 --> 00:21:53,680
with co-pilot I would say both of them are great and both of them sort of like parallel capabilities
238
00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:59,360
but like using it for example building foundry IQ for me personally has been really
239
00:21:59,360 --> 00:22:06,720
easy and I would say really like useful and because a lot of my like building those applications
240
00:22:06,720 --> 00:22:12,080
involves like using data effectively and like in a larger sense so I think like and also understanding
241
00:22:12,080 --> 00:22:14,960
those models it gives me a lot more capabilities to use those things.
242
00:22:14,960 --> 00:22:27,120
What did you think is is AI foundry also for smaller mid-sized companies or is it an enterprise
243
00:22:27,120 --> 00:22:41,360
product? Okay one second give me one second. So I think like Microsoft boundaries obviously more
244
00:22:41,360 --> 00:22:46,240
enterprise AI and it basically helps to ensure that like it creates your gives you all the
245
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:53,120
capabilities that you would need and like when we talk about like you know for example when you
246
00:22:53,120 --> 00:22:58,240
build the foundry IQ you can also implement Azure AI search in the backend or you can also implement
247
00:22:58,240 --> 00:23:04,480
for example things like you know work IQ and also like you can also create additional capabilities
248
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:09,920
on that. So I think if you try building it like see there are two things is tools and then there is
249
00:23:09,920 --> 00:23:14,880
sort of like your knowledge base. So the tools section you can only upload files so it's quick
250
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:19,440
and faster but if you're building enterprise agent then you will need sort of like more solid
251
00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:24,400
knowledge base and in those capabilities it's sort of important to ensure that like you have a
252
00:23:24,400 --> 00:23:29,440
larger set of data you can engineer the data effectively and make sure that like that data can be
253
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:36,640
used within your application effectively. So no matter you use for example one or the other as long
254
00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:41,680
as you have like build the ontologies semantically effectively that should be able to plug in into
255
00:23:41,680 --> 00:23:46,400
the main tool so that essentially makes your job a lot more easier but yeah that is a process you
256
00:23:46,400 --> 00:23:50,320
know building that thing you will have to know what your data is and what you want to feed versus what
257
00:23:50,320 --> 00:24:00,160
you don't want to feed. And what kind of models are available and they have found? I would say there's
258
00:24:00,160 --> 00:24:06,400
a lot I think yesterday I saw you know probably over 180 or something models so it has basically
259
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:13,680
from cloud to cloud opus, clouds on it it also has fable which was which basically came in
260
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:21,200
co because of well all the node reasons it has grok and then like mistral and basically all the
261
00:24:21,200 --> 00:24:28,320
latest models all the GPD models it has 4.154O everything basically but I think like see the thing is
262
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:31,840
like a lot of people think they have to use the latest model to build their applications but I think
263
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:36,800
it's super important to understand that you don't necessarily need all the time latest model if you're
264
00:24:36,800 --> 00:24:42,160
going to find unit or if you're going to build like say a rag for it right so you have to make sure
265
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:48,080
that what's a cost are you willing to pay for an application and decide then which one you want to
266
00:24:48,080 --> 00:24:52,640
use to build it and then the second thing you would want to also make sure is like what data
267
00:24:52,640 --> 00:24:57,200
will you use to find unit or build the rag application. I think that's important I know the
268
00:24:57,200 --> 00:25:02,480
example because I was saying rag is dead because of like larger context with was available but I think
269
00:25:02,480 --> 00:25:08,560
it's yeah I mean if unless you have a better approach then yeah you can you can debate about it.
270
00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:18,320
Yeah I think a lot of people now yeah they're using AI, using AI but we also have this
271
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:26,240
Azure machine learning stuff and I don't know what to search makes sense especially for
272
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:33,600
antiprizes to look where I spent I think expensive tokens and where can I use other things
273
00:25:34,240 --> 00:25:44,800
like that. Okay so what did you think how will the AI found really evolving over the next month?
274
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:51,600
I mean there's I mean it's constantly evolving like obviously I think the new models will keep
275
00:25:51,600 --> 00:25:55,680
up from coming so that's gonna be always there for sure so I think like that's one thing which
276
00:25:55,680 --> 00:26:02,640
is going to be there then I think memory management because you know like the or agents cannot work
277
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:08,720
effectively so I like that's something which probably will come along the way because like that
278
00:26:08,720 --> 00:26:13,280
will really I would say that's really the game changer as well in a way because if your AI does not
279
00:26:13,280 --> 00:26:17,920
remember anything about a previous conversation then I think it would probably be one of those things
280
00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:24,160
like it resets every single time so it does not adapt episode of so it requires to remember all those
281
00:26:24,160 --> 00:26:29,040
things that you're basically asking it previously so let's say today you are trying you're working in
282
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:35,360
public sector you want to pay your council tax and maybe like you are a person and if your details
283
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:40,720
are not provided it cannot give you the like account details or how to pay for example your tax
284
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:45,920
or do you want to refund for that tax with super important to understand that that would be something
285
00:26:45,920 --> 00:26:53,920
which can actually very change it. I think it's a big part of also context engineering which was very
286
00:26:53,920 --> 00:27:00,800
at the end the term came way back in 2023-24ish start I would say but now it has just grown a lot and
287
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:06,320
like it has become a super important part and I've also heard a lot about like harness engineering as
288
00:27:06,320 --> 00:27:11,680
well which is like something which people are discussing right now and I think like this this is
289
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:19,360
one of the arena which I think definitely is going to grow as time goes by. And what role
290
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:27,600
plays security and compliance inside the I foundry or is it inside the F I foundry?
291
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:33,440
So obviously you can build guardrails so like I've seen people talking a lot about guardrails but
292
00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:38,480
like a lot of people they don't necessarily understand or know about what guardrails really mean so
293
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:44,480
guardrails basically protect and make sure that like your agent does not like you know it doesn't
294
00:27:44,480 --> 00:27:51,840
have any unintended behavior right that's really the purpose of guardrails and so by default it
295
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:56,560
foundry there are some guardrails in build but you can always equate any one so for example
296
00:27:56,560 --> 00:28:03,760
like if your application does not require any specific kind of content or protected material or
297
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:10,160
something like sensitive data sort of so it helps to ensure that like okay this data this particular
298
00:28:10,160 --> 00:28:15,040
application should not bypass these things it should not we find a way to like tackle those things
299
00:28:15,040 --> 00:28:21,440
or for example you have fed some like the IID data which I mean most of us will not but like say
300
00:28:21,440 --> 00:28:26,720
hypothetically you did then how will like manage it so I think guardrails ensure that there is like
301
00:28:26,720 --> 00:28:32,000
you know those lanes that should be controlled and that your application does not perform any
302
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,880
unintended behavior it is an option to also create redeeming so you can like create a redeem and
303
00:28:36,880 --> 00:28:42,640
sort of your test stress test your agent in a way that you can create scenarios and test it when
304
00:28:42,640 --> 00:28:46,880
it's gonna break one thing I always say is like you know we should perform like people should
305
00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:51,280
perform as much as negative testing when they build these things simply because what it does for
306
00:28:51,280 --> 00:28:58,400
you is like any situation that you might think can happen it should exactly behave in a way it should
307
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:04,240
like it should not be saying oh this is yes but actually the answer is no for it so like it makes
308
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:08,560
sure that you are actually active you're trying to test it without waiting for somebody else to
309
00:29:08,560 --> 00:29:14,080
tell you so imagine you build a product right you are a company and you go to a customer and they
310
00:29:14,080 --> 00:29:19,840
test it and you find those flaws for you then you they might not be convinced even if you fix those
311
00:29:19,840 --> 00:29:24,800
flaws effectively because now in the mind you're like oh I can't I don't know if this is gonna be like
312
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:30,080
something I want to invest in so it's a proactive attitude also like check those things and
313
00:29:30,080 --> 00:29:35,760
just as many scenarios to make sure that okay I've done this my new diligence on this thing I know
314
00:29:35,760 --> 00:29:40,880
that these scenarios is gonna fail the scenarios gonna work so you already know all the pros and cons
315
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:45,360
of your product and then let's say you know how to rectify them eventually because otherwise you
316
00:29:45,360 --> 00:29:50,480
will not identify them so yeah I think like this is one of the other interesting area where you can
317
00:29:50,480 --> 00:29:57,120
you have to practice like as it is possible AI where like you know just building something but
318
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:07,600
also building something which is effective useful I think we spend a lot of I don't know money in
319
00:30:07,600 --> 00:30:16,480
AI and in tokens and in building AI also security and all all the other costs that are often
320
00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:27,360
done can is the CFO and ask yeah what is the the return of invest if they are or have you any tips
321
00:30:27,360 --> 00:30:35,040
how company can yeah elevate the every from AI investments that's a good question I think this is
322
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:39,280
like a lot of people are discussing about just now as we I'm sure like somebody would have already
323
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:46,000
little bit of like they imposed on the service fee I think yeah see air investment everybody wants
324
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:52,160
use AI because they know that this is something which is gonna make like a jobs maybe like easier or
325
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:59,040
like make us more productive and so on when we talk about using AI a lot of times people don't know
326
00:30:59,040 --> 00:31:05,440
where they want to use AI like which which this problem am I trying to solve with is AI as a tool
327
00:31:05,440 --> 00:31:12,880
available to me like this last language model because like you are a company which has a big customer
328
00:31:13,520 --> 00:31:17,840
interaction agent centers something like that and like probably your job is to make sure that
329
00:31:17,840 --> 00:31:24,160
the basic queries is supported by AI and then like maybe the very very complicated and once
330
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:30,560
where is it users are asking then maybe I will do my agent it let's that's your case now you are
331
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:36,880
trying to save the time but call me like how do you how that's basically where you have to see
332
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:42,240
where you can solve the problem and how do you make sure that like AI is effectively useful because
333
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:47,200
it could be possible that one of those cases is not the right use case for very one
334
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:53,040
implement AI so I think it started identifying the right use case first thing and then understanding
335
00:31:53,040 --> 00:31:59,040
like what's my current cost that I'm paying for that same workflow or process versus what I think AI
336
00:31:59,040 --> 00:32:05,520
can do for me and then start being a little bit real about like comparison that okay for example
337
00:32:05,520 --> 00:32:10,880
I am paying X amount of pound million pounds here if I don't pay this I move this investment here
338
00:32:10,880 --> 00:32:16,560
will that give me RWA in the long term and it should also be thought of like you know not just like
339
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:21,920
oh RWA is gonna come in like one month or two months maybe like have a plan of like in how much time
340
00:32:21,920 --> 00:32:25,680
do you think you can recover that money for example it's not like you know in one month you're gonna
341
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:31,040
get the entire RWA right like it depends on like how big or small investment is in that
342
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:36,000
sure and I think like then obviously like that from that like then starts like your
343
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,520
for a building phase so in that start building phase you have to make as I said like a robust design
344
00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:47,760
which will cater to that investment that you are building and from there you have to start like
345
00:32:47,760 --> 00:32:53,120
being like okay now I can see that there is a possibility that this AI will let's say we 30%
346
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:59,120
of my investment that I was doing in the process A versus process B so I think like there is like
347
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:05,840
the thing is like RWA will come in at a point in time so I think in my understanding whether
348
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:11,200
RWA will come is also the key it's not gonna be like in one week I'll get all the you know
349
00:33:11,200 --> 00:33:15,920
this value back or maybe in one month so that's thing and then identifying the right case I think
350
00:33:15,920 --> 00:33:21,120
these are the four or five things are super important when you are in organization trying to implement AI
351
00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:26,240
and then yeah also like also having a great like the right team because having the right people
352
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,320
who are building the right architecture is important because you would know right like for example
353
00:33:30,320 --> 00:33:34,560
if you're a data platform architect right if you design the right architecture for example you
354
00:33:34,560 --> 00:33:39,840
are catering to five different products right in some like some areas the latency or the cost is
355
00:33:39,840 --> 00:33:45,520
more important in some cases real-time streaming data is important and you cannot have same thing
356
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:49,280
or the other you have to think about each in every section so this is the same thing when we talk
357
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:55,440
about AI like your architecture the design and then like whatever investment you're gonna make in
358
00:33:55,440 --> 00:34:02,400
that entire product or an application you are building is really the key to make sure what
359
00:34:02,400 --> 00:34:07,920
problem it will solve today you decide it's gonna be for sort of like encoding assistant for you
360
00:34:07,920 --> 00:34:13,520
or some sort of like I don't know like maybe assistant that will help you make
361
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:20,880
DevOps tickets or like for example G-RT tickets or something then watch my current effort versus
362
00:34:20,880 --> 00:34:27,200
what's the effort now then what's the time I'm investing now what's the time after implementing AI
363
00:34:28,240 --> 00:34:33,120
how much money was going into this product before versus how much money do I plan to recover in
364
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:39,600
one year three years time and this is how they should go about it rather than like expecting that
365
00:34:39,600 --> 00:34:43,760
this will happen just in one go and also it's an improvement process like you have to keep
366
00:34:43,760 --> 00:34:48,960
on improving the application a lot of times it's just sitting it's built in next year but like you
367
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:54,640
know live language models they have to be monitored because sometimes they can change they can
368
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:58,800
hallucinate even after you've done everything well so you have to keep them monitoring and tracing
369
00:34:58,800 --> 00:35:02,720
how they're performing and then if you think that at some point there is something else you can do
370
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:07,120
and make it better because you know with context that you provide to the models right like you have
371
00:35:07,120 --> 00:35:12,320
to expand the old data out if you don't use it otherwise it's gonna be challenging for somebody to
372
00:35:12,320 --> 00:35:17,520
like check every single aspect of that application so I think there's so many parts of also building
373
00:35:17,520 --> 00:35:22,080
that product once you are entering that phase that the product team has to ensure
374
00:35:24,240 --> 00:35:29,120
to make sure that it performs in the way it is intended to perform and that's basically where
375
00:35:29,120 --> 00:35:33,600
it starts generating R-A because it's a whole cycle I would say from start to end.
376
00:35:33,600 --> 00:35:40,240
Yeah you say hallucination I think for me I think the
377
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:46,720
I see the model is getting better better but now we are also in the world of AI agents where
378
00:35:46,720 --> 00:35:55,680
one agent said the other agent did this and so on so a lot of I'd say specialists I think that's
379
00:35:55,680 --> 00:36:05,200
experts I think it's come from mistrial the idea to build different experts but how how
380
00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:11,200
many chore can be monitored the outcomes that we have no bias or hallucinations in the
381
00:36:11,200 --> 00:36:19,200
work-restance. So like when you talk about hallucinations right like I know the latest model that we
382
00:36:19,200 --> 00:36:24,960
have gotten from like different all the different AI companies I would like I would say they are
383
00:36:24,960 --> 00:36:29,280
slightly better but obviously it's still there the hallucination is still there now people use
384
00:36:29,280 --> 00:36:33,760
temperature settings they have like different settings available that it can use to control the
385
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:39,440
hallucinations but I think I would say like when you test your application there should be a
386
00:36:39,440 --> 00:36:45,760
baseline what's the acceptable behavior for my application and like what's the intended behavior
387
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:50,880
so if my agent is going to hallucinate and give me deviation like for example with 5-10%
388
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:55,920
then I would probably say it's not ready for production because I would not be able to accept
389
00:36:55,920 --> 00:37:01,920
that simply so I think like when you build applications especially with hallucinations it should
390
00:37:01,920 --> 00:37:06,720
be like different cases where you would have tested those hallucinations how much you are getting
391
00:37:06,720 --> 00:37:12,400
those hallucinations for then what's the baseline if it's like for example you know confidence
392
00:37:12,400 --> 00:37:16,960
code because after confidence code of your hallucination is like slight deviation which is probably
393
00:37:16,960 --> 00:37:24,560
would say like maybe like 0.0001 sort of or like very small which is not so much and also the answer
394
00:37:24,560 --> 00:37:28,640
is correct I think that's like one thing which you have to make sure you are checking every single
395
00:37:28,640 --> 00:37:33,040
time and then like maybe test a lot of times to see like what's the baseline you're going to get
396
00:37:33,040 --> 00:37:37,760
what's acceptable percentage you can also create like confidence scores for example if my
397
00:37:37,760 --> 00:37:44,560
application every time gives me 90% of confidence which I know is going to be right and then also automate
398
00:37:44,560 --> 00:37:51,360
some like checks in every step like not like in that conversation is in every turn like every time
399
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:58,240
it interacts that's also I think very important and then like if it falls below that baseline then okay
400
00:37:58,240 --> 00:38:02,560
now we need to see so they should be like process for that so I think in that process you can make
401
00:38:02,560 --> 00:38:06,720
it semi-automate but then somebody will have to still check there should be some human in the loop
402
00:38:06,720 --> 00:38:11,600
especially if you're working for like industries which are very very you know sensitive like for
403
00:38:11,600 --> 00:38:15,440
example health care so you have to make sure somebody is checking those things constantly because
404
00:38:15,440 --> 00:38:23,040
yeah like you're I would say like like you cannot go wrong with like your outcomes I mean I'm like
405
00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:27,040
always like advocating for this like you cannot go wrong with what it creates we have to make sure
406
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:32,160
that we're always checking those things step by step in every process so build evaluations check
407
00:38:32,160 --> 00:38:38,000
maybe like relevance accuracy how core and the result is is it having task adherence which means
408
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:43,440
like it does that task it's a boost you do and then maybe give also some sort of feedback like sort
409
00:38:43,440 --> 00:38:48,320
of a feedback loop so that the limb tries to improve itself and like you know like also tries to
410
00:38:48,320 --> 00:38:52,800
find better ways to solve the same problem maybe look if you have given a better prompt it's structured
411
00:38:52,800 --> 00:38:57,840
properly I think these things sort of like help to understand where the hallucination is happening
412
00:38:57,840 --> 00:39:02,000
from and then how can we rectify it it's not just about the settings it's also about how you
413
00:39:02,000 --> 00:39:13,360
tackled outcomes once you get it. I think now we see I think every product now includes AI
414
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:25,200
at home my my vacuum my my my coffee machine all has now AI in it and last of the in-depth that's
415
00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:31,680
a new new buzzword I see monitor this it's was responsible AI I don't know what it do but
416
00:39:31,680 --> 00:39:41,280
responsible I it's yeah it's as a new LinkedIn it's everywhere what do the actual mean in practice.
417
00:39:41,280 --> 00:39:50,080
Responsibility I responsibility I basically like you are using like the AI applications in a way
418
00:39:50,080 --> 00:39:56,640
that like you know way that it's actually fulfilling the task that you have assigned it to do and
419
00:39:56,640 --> 00:40:02,400
if it at some point like for example initially when chat you be decay I know a lot of people just
420
00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:08,560
fed in data or gave it information because they thought like you know just take all the information
421
00:40:08,560 --> 00:40:13,520
and that's it but you cannot put like any other data random data into you know applications because
422
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:19,440
you know there's a large language models so using AI effectively is always important to ensure
423
00:40:19,440 --> 00:40:27,840
that like when you're getting a response you so if you are a user like for example if I'm the user
424
00:40:27,840 --> 00:40:32,480
right let's say I'm expecting a response in some capacity I would know that is this a response
425
00:40:32,480 --> 00:40:36,720
right or wrong I mean how are people how do people know that AI is getting wrong response if they're
426
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:41,840
not the subject matter experts of their particular area right so understanding if I can rely on
427
00:40:41,840 --> 00:40:47,520
trust on this and on this outcome so like if you are generating some content for example
428
00:40:48,640 --> 00:40:53,200
you're using it from brainstorming do you think the large idea is going to be practical and like
429
00:40:53,200 --> 00:40:59,680
for example if you're asking on seeking information are those links reliable are the right links or
430
00:40:59,680 --> 00:41:05,680
that information is right so I think I recently tested one of the example like I was trying to build
431
00:41:05,680 --> 00:41:11,040
one agent for like you know just being my concert tax right and I was trying to see like how will it
432
00:41:11,040 --> 00:41:15,440
like for example take the data so it gave me some made a website you know in the start and I was like
433
00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:19,680
oh this link doesn't meet me anywhere because that's not the right website even and the information
434
00:41:19,680 --> 00:41:25,440
was incorrect so measuring and comparing that this is the outcome I'm getting this is the realistic
435
00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:29,920
outsmash should have been getting is making sure that you're responsibly using it especially
436
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:35,440
like not just trusting whatever it's been given because even on both start ones is written that it
437
00:41:35,440 --> 00:41:41,040
makes an incorrect responses on the bottom of that the bar where you give the prompt so I think
438
00:41:41,040 --> 00:41:47,200
it starts with understanding that you have to like make sure you are checking everything before using it
439
00:41:47,200 --> 00:41:53,360
and like if it's not like sort of like an organizational application if you're especially
440
00:41:53,360 --> 00:41:57,920
using for example chatchipity or any other yeah I tool available in the market which this
441
00:41:57,920 --> 00:42:04,720
is a lot of them now and I think like with using a to for example you phone on a daily life first
442
00:42:04,720 --> 00:42:11,600
stuff so if you're building let's say you're planning a travel item right that's the one the muskony
443
00:42:11,600 --> 00:42:19,440
skills I've heard people using it for like making sure that like like it gives you the right option
444
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:23,840
of the flight links and then checking those flight links actually available it basically starts
445
00:42:23,840 --> 00:42:28,640
from all those small steps and then obviously like from enterprise level you all know that like we
446
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:34,560
need more testing and more like evaluation evaluations and LLM as a judge and you know making sure
447
00:42:34,560 --> 00:42:39,200
that all those things work hand in hand to make sure it's more responsible and then like for example
448
00:42:39,200 --> 00:42:43,360
if you're even if you're working in an organization if you find that some points giving wrong answers
449
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,600
please share with other people as well so that they are more aware as well because sometimes maybe
450
00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:52,000
you identify a use case and other people haven't come across that so they will also be aware that
451
00:42:52,000 --> 00:42:56,240
oh like this gives what potentially happened like I couldn't get a wrong outcome for this thing
452
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:59,760
so I think that starts with you know sharing more knowledge and then obviously like you know
453
00:42:59,760 --> 00:43:03,840
these like we are having for example community meetups as well so a lot of people come and share
454
00:43:03,840 --> 00:43:08,240
their projects and they share like things they have found so I think also listening to other people
455
00:43:08,240 --> 00:43:12,720
and like you know learning from them along the way also helps because for example they might have
456
00:43:12,720 --> 00:43:17,520
come across use case which you haven't so you were also know now okay maybe I will think about
457
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:22,400
this next time and I'm building something new for me that I should be I might come across the same
458
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:27,520
scenario and I will try to sort of not fall in that space where I have to do the like work to like
459
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:31,600
you know reinterpret it so I think it starts with multiple practices to make sure that you are
460
00:43:31,600 --> 00:43:42,000
using AI responsibly yeah actually a lot of companies or selling AI governance frameworks there
461
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:48,240
there are a lot of it did company really need an AI governance framework or it's okay to have
462
00:43:48,240 --> 00:43:55,120
IT in the data governance framework what's your opinion here I think oh AI governance should in like
463
00:43:55,120 --> 00:43:59,680
in the granting of things AI governance should be like big things since the beginning of the process
464
00:44:00,400 --> 00:44:05,200
because I think it's sometimes like we build the whole thing and then we think about governance
465
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:10,720
I would say I think it should be in the start and it's actually one of the reasons for your AI
466
00:44:10,720 --> 00:44:17,920
being truly ready because like if you're like all the different processes that are important for
467
00:44:17,920 --> 00:44:24,560
example you work for a company which is super like sensitive, user sensitive data or legal or legal
468
00:44:24,560 --> 00:44:30,240
data for example NDs and so on so like it's super important that you have taken care of the governance
469
00:44:30,240 --> 00:44:35,840
because like it would be quite surprising if somebody is going to go and use it you know because like
470
00:44:35,840 --> 00:44:40,240
those kind of information and like you know you haven't taken care of the ethics and like you know
471
00:44:40,240 --> 00:44:46,160
make sure that all the sensitive data is tackled properly I think it's like a lot of importance
472
00:44:46,160 --> 00:44:54,160
there is on that so I think you you can use like you should make it a part of the architecture itself
473
00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:58,800
in the beginning of the process it should not be an afterthought that we do it once we have built a
474
00:44:58,800 --> 00:45:04,880
product it should be big in the beginning of the process and like I think like if you have a B2B or
475
00:45:04,880 --> 00:45:14,000
B2C company like like without governance I I'm not sure if like people will be like convinced you
476
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:20,160
buy something because they have to pass the governance checks like ensure that the product is truly
477
00:45:20,160 --> 00:45:26,160
ready for like you know being used by the people so yeah I think like it's super important I mean
478
00:45:26,160 --> 00:45:31,520
framework wise like yeah I mean a lot of companies do sell a governance frameworks it depends on
479
00:45:31,520 --> 00:45:36,240
each organization if they actually use it I mean I would say like it's best to have it built in
480
00:45:36,240 --> 00:45:40,640
the start and to see like if actually that framework is going to be what file or like use before your
481
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:45,440
product or the company that it works for and like if you have for example your own internal
482
00:45:45,440 --> 00:45:50,480
governance teams AI governance teams for example then they can support you in that process so it depends
483
00:45:50,480 --> 00:45:54,400
if you don't have internal governance teams you can support you then you might see external health
484
00:45:54,400 --> 00:45:58,640
but it totally depends on one company to another so I don't think one size would for all I think
485
00:45:58,640 --> 00:46:03,360
it depends from case to case cases those like smaller companies might I mean might not have a big
486
00:46:03,360 --> 00:46:08,000
governance team so they might need external support to do that but some companies do have a big
487
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:13,680
governance team so they can support them in those processes yeah um what did you think about
488
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:18,880
regulations I think we have here also two teams we have the the people they say it's allowing
489
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:26,720
the innovation and the other saying it's an A-blig trust what what did you think uh I mean
490
00:46:26,720 --> 00:46:34,880
yeah I mean there's some industries where like uh it's important I mean it's sort of in a way
491
00:46:34,880 --> 00:46:40,240
also trying to ensure that whatever you are creating is the level as I said like entrustworthy
492
00:46:40,240 --> 00:46:47,520
so it's two sides of the same coin so it's all but I think like if your industry has this thing
493
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:52,000
you know where they have to pass all these criteria then I think like you have to go through it
494
00:46:52,000 --> 00:46:57,280
and it's better to be like you know check all those things beforehand like and you know rather than
495
00:46:57,280 --> 00:47:04,080
like just putting something out like innovation is also go leave and like you know it's
496
00:47:04,720 --> 00:47:09,600
it's responsibly used and you know save to use also so I think yeah there's two sides of the same
497
00:47:09,600 --> 00:47:14,000
coin I would say so yeah I think some industries will definitely need to ensure that they pass all
498
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:19,040
those barriers before they actually sort of reach a point where they are directly ready to be
499
00:47:19,040 --> 00:47:28,160
used by consumers and yeah this is awesome and how important that you think is it's actually
500
00:47:28,960 --> 00:47:36,080
yeah this is community in these AI area oh communities I mean there are lots
501
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:42,800
now uh I mean communities are important and I think uh it's important to hear also like what other
502
00:47:42,800 --> 00:47:48,320
people are bringing like for example building because I think like collaboration and all the
503
00:47:48,320 --> 00:47:53,200
shittings are the best way to learn the new tech or any tech essentially and I think like a lot of
504
00:47:53,200 --> 00:47:58,160
places I have attended events or like I've learned a lot of things and the people I've created
505
00:47:59,040 --> 00:48:04,160
you know also like it also sparked my interest in the sense like you can discuss with those people
506
00:48:04,160 --> 00:48:09,040
what approaches they are followed so it does create a platform for people to upscale so for example
507
00:48:09,040 --> 00:48:12,160
somebody comes from core engineering like you know software engineering and then
508
00:48:12,160 --> 00:48:17,680
now they know about coding they know how to build software architecture as you see everything
509
00:48:17,680 --> 00:48:23,040
I listen so on but maybe like I want to understand more about AI which is more about like you know
510
00:48:23,040 --> 00:48:28,400
generative AI like large language models how they are built how the how they process information so
511
00:48:28,400 --> 00:48:32,640
now like obviously there are all of courses online but then like community meetups provide that
512
00:48:32,640 --> 00:48:38,160
sort of like a center spot where you can go and I generally say to people like you don't have to go
513
00:48:38,160 --> 00:48:43,200
to like you have to pick those events where you can learn the most because every event has
514
00:48:43,200 --> 00:48:47,680
their different things like some events like there's advanced AI some places they are more like
515
00:48:47,680 --> 00:48:53,600
topics which are like sort of like in middle like and some barely early start you know they have
516
00:48:53,600 --> 00:48:57,840
like topics which are very so you pick which one you are really trying to learn or maybe your job
517
00:48:57,840 --> 00:49:03,200
whichever you are in where it is more relevant and then you can go and attend those events and learn
518
00:49:03,200 --> 00:49:08,320
from them and then ask questions because curiosity is something which is super important especially
519
00:49:08,320 --> 00:49:12,240
in today's world to learn and understand more you should ask the questions if you have any
520
00:49:12,240 --> 00:49:17,360
confusion or doubt about something so that you learn along the way so I think community meetup
521
00:49:17,360 --> 00:49:22,400
are really really important in my opinion because they provide that free space to you know
522
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:28,160
really be like learn from other people and I think either you are an attendee or you speak or like
523
00:49:28,160 --> 00:49:33,120
you're an organizer you will learn a lot because you will get different diverse perspectives
524
00:49:33,120 --> 00:49:37,680
and like if I'm a data scientist I will come from a data science lens or maybe somebody else who
525
00:49:37,680 --> 00:49:42,000
is a software engineer they will come from a software engineering lens and then somebody maybe is
526
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,400
in analytics they will come from analytics lens everyone is using different tools and it's going
527
00:49:46,400 --> 00:49:51,120
to be everywhere so it's nice to know what's happening so for example in analytics we are seeing
528
00:49:51,120 --> 00:49:56,320
conversationally I being like one of the topics being discussed or in software engineering it's more
529
00:49:56,320 --> 00:50:03,760
like oh hey like now we can use AI to build code or make coding assistance sort of and if you are
530
00:50:03,760 --> 00:50:08,720
data scientist you would think for example oh like I use ML ops now maybe I'm going to use LLM ops
531
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:14,400
or I use large language models to you know reproductive modeling how it can support there or if you're
532
00:50:14,400 --> 00:50:20,960
in finance or like marketing or sales how can I use AI for example will AI be able to help me create
533
00:50:20,960 --> 00:50:27,280
reports create campaigns analyze my campaign data so I think the different you know lenses so it's
534
00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:32,880
good to know all the lenses and learn how people are using it and if you have something to share
535
00:50:32,880 --> 00:50:35,680
you should definitely go and share that information as well.
536
00:50:35,680 --> 00:50:42,720
And Shavani you also lead a community the women in data are long then can you tell a little bit
537
00:50:42,720 --> 00:50:50,000
about this? Yeah so women in data it's a non-profit organization and it started back in 2015
538
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:56,000
in the United States and we have this chapter which is now I think almost 900 members so being
539
00:50:56,000 --> 00:51:01,280
a part of the community for a long time and I lead the chapter I think I organized 35 or 40 events
540
00:51:01,280 --> 00:51:07,280
so far in the past few years so the community and obviously just gone by 40-50% now so we have a lot
541
00:51:07,280 --> 00:51:12,240
of different women from the years you know walks of life and the organizer banks we helped them
542
00:51:12,240 --> 00:51:17,760
and dirt like fine rolls for example and we have a team chapters in click 57 countries or something
543
00:51:17,760 --> 00:51:22,160
now and obviously this is one of the chapters biggest chapters in Europe that one we have right now
544
00:51:22,160 --> 00:51:29,040
in Gijuke yeah it's a super collaborative fun place to be like anyone can join like there's like
545
00:51:29,040 --> 00:51:34,000
anybody like irrespective of is there like been on and they can like you know be a part of the
546
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:38,480
community they can share their sessions they can also mentor other people they are also organizing
547
00:51:38,480 --> 00:51:43,680
a data thorn in the next couple of months so if somebody wants to you know build a team and participate
548
00:51:43,680 --> 00:51:49,280
I'm sure there's gonna be some AI topic that I think the topic is what's cooking this time so it's
549
00:51:49,280 --> 00:51:52,560
gonna be on some like data will be I think on cooking but then you create your own thing
550
00:51:52,560 --> 00:51:57,280
and there's bunny projects as well so somebody wants to you know team of it someone and build a
551
00:51:57,280 --> 00:52:02,240
project there's like that option as well so there's a lot of stuff it offers and yeah it's like
552
00:52:02,240 --> 00:52:08,720
it's not profit so yeah you can just join it for free and like you have reached the the value of
553
00:52:08,720 --> 00:52:14,560
like what it offers and I think you have also another community it's the build us foundry
554
00:52:14,560 --> 00:52:23,360
yeah so yeah bill is foundry I started this year and we already have like 150 plus members I
555
00:52:23,360 --> 00:52:29,360
mean we only done I think two or three events this year because we wanted to like build high quality
556
00:52:29,360 --> 00:52:35,440
events so we do we are building ones on one and the other and one other I'm doing this with another
557
00:52:35,440 --> 00:52:41,040
MVP so we are like doing and building this community together it's mostly focus on software engineering
558
00:52:41,040 --> 00:52:47,360
architecture AI and like you know startups because you know startups there's a lot more startups in
559
00:52:47,360 --> 00:52:53,520
London out than they were I think before especially because of AI so we are like looking for people who
560
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:58,000
are like you know who want to share their real world expertise or knowledge I mean it's okay if
561
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:01,840
something like didn't work that was just fine we just want to know like what's working what's not
562
00:53:01,840 --> 00:53:08,640
working and it's practitioner led community so we are looking people who are more like practitioners
563
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:15,520
in their area and so we did like I think the launch event back in April and then we did one last

00:53:43,360 --> 00:53:52,960
both pie Thor as KL oh that's just I think both because I use both of them so
568
00:53:52,960 --> 00:54:04,720
probably a year or fine tuning I mean it's case based so can't pick one or the other but like if
569
00:54:04,720 --> 00:54:09,600
I want to go for one I might if it's simpler I will go for fine tuning if it's not like a simple
570
00:54:09,600 --> 00:54:15,360
use case I might go with the other one yeah your biggest productivity hack focus

573
00:54:31,600 --> 00:54:39,520

00:54:39,520 --> 00:54:45,520
that you know I will probably expand like the memory management feature like a lot more into

576
00:54:56,080 --> 00:55:04,800
yeah the the yeah the biggest misunderstanding people have about AI
577
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:14,400
like yeah like that it can solve like it can solve many problems but like it's not like it can it
578
00:55:14,400 --> 00:55:21,280
can't it needs to be in every everything like it needs to you're around if I use case for it to
