[Virtual] PRO Session: How Can Engineering Leaders Measure the Impact of GenAI

Thursday February 20, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PST

Yishai Beeri, LinearB, CTO

Generative AI has taken the world by storm since its general availability to the public in early 2023. Going from novel technology to commodity in months, this disruptive technology quickly found applications in the software development world - and many engineering organizations are trying to capitalize on the disruptive technology.

Nearly every engineering organization has adopted, or is thinking about adopting GenAI as a tool for developers. It has become wildly popular for everything from generating code, to writing and deploying tests, pull request reviews, experimentation and PoCs and much more. But who checks the machines?

In this talk I'll dive into the actual measurable outcomes - positive and negative - of adopting GenAI in engineering organizations. While engineering leaders rapidly jumped on the GenAI bandwagon, many are still struggling to quantify its value, not to mention manage its risks. This talk will discuss how and what to measure to understand adoption, quantify benefits and control risks in your initiative to leverage AI in your engineering organization. Join us to learn about the specific metrics you should be monitoring to ensure maximizing ROI on your GenAI engineering org initiatives.

[Virtual] PRO Session: Pattern Rights - An Ethical Framework for Generative AI Training Data

Thursday February 20, 2025 1:00pm - 1:25pm PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Main Stage

Alison Cossette, Neo4j, Data Science Strategist, Advocate, Educator

As generative AI continues to push boundaries, creating novel content by learning from massive datasets, we are faced with complex issues around intellectual property, privacy, and the ethical use of data. Current systems of copyright, fair use, and data protection lack the scope to fully address the unique challenges posed by AI pattern recognition and generation.

This pivotal talk introduces the pioneering concept of "Pattern Rights" - a holistic ethical framework to inform the development and deployment of generative AI technologies. Pattern Rights serves as an umbrella construct, encompassing principles of copyright, fair use, training data transparency, privacy, data ownership, and accountability.

We will explore how Pattern Rights can ensure appropriate attribution and compensation when AI models learn from copyrighted works or personal data. It establishes guidelines around consent, anonymization, and ethical data sourcing practices.

As the AI industry is rapidly evolving, we urgently need governance to foster innovation while upholding rights and safeguarding against misuse. Pattern Rights provides a roadmap to navigate this uncharted territory responsibly and equitably.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: Beyond Vectors: Evolving GenAI through Transformative Tools and Methods

Thursday February 20, 2025 1:30pm - 1:55pm PST

VIRTUAL AI DevWorld Stage

Alison Cossette, Neo4j, Data Science Strategist, Advocate, Educator

Embark on a thought-provoking exploration of GenAI's evolution with "Beyond Vectors: Evolving GenAI through Transformative Tools and Methods." Tailored for engineers seeking fresh perspectives, this session encourages practitioners to step beyond familiar Vector Database practices. It's not just a departure; it's a pragmatic leap forward into precision methodologies for data quality and crafting datasets essential for Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) excellence. We'll navigate the complexities of adding non-semantic context through graph databases, shedding light on the nuanced limitations of distance metrics like Cosine Similarity. Join us for this insightful journey, pushing the boundaries of GenAI evolution with transformative tools and methods.

[Virtual] OPEN Session: From Thought to Action: How Agentic AI Will Reshape Enterprise AI

Thursday February 20, 2025 2:00pm - 2:25pm PST

VIRTUAL DeveloperWeek MAIN STAGE

Utkarsh Contractor, Aisera, VP of AI

Enterprises are on the cusp of a transformative shift. They are moving beyond task-specific AI to embrace agentic systems capable of autonomous decision-making and actions through probabilistic reasoning. This evolution marks a new era of autonomy, where AI not only augments human capabilities but also drives business outcomes by:
- Optimizing Operations: Self-regulating systems enhance efficiency, ensure compliance, and proactively mitigate risks.
- Accelerating Innovation: Data-driven insights fuel strategic decision-making, enabling rapid market adaptation.
- Enhancing Customer Experience: Intelligent agents anticipate customer needs, delivering personalized solutions.

Although the potential benefits are immense, successful implementation demands a strategic approach that encompasses ethical considerations, security, and complexity management.

Join Utkarsh Contractor, VP of AI/ML at Aisera, as we explore the opportunities and challenges of this paradigm shift and how organizations can harness agentic AI to achieve sustained competitive advantage.
