Maribel and Sherry begin their conversation by discussing Amazon Bedrock, which is Amazon’s AI building service. The technology allows AWS customers to create their own AI models by offering choices of foundational models that can be customized.

Next, Sherry and Maribel discuss AI agents. In AI, Agents can retrieve real-time data to assist LLMs in providing information they cannot access in their training data. They also discuss how customers are currently using artificial intelligence, and why there is a shift away from specific modes and toward using multiple models for different use cases.

Dr. Sherry Marcus also explains how customers have historically used RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) to answer questions, and how that technology is evolving. Last, she explains why companies are using synthetic data to train their models, her predictions for the future of AI, and her favorite primer on AI.
