Oracle CloudWorld is just a month away, and the AI team is preparing dozens of sessions to showcase new artificial intelligence (AI) innovations, deep dive into real-world examples, and bring everyone on board with AI, whether you’re a data scientist with years of experience, or looking for guidance on AI in your industry for the first time.

Sparkling highlights from CloudWorld

Our top suggestion is attending SVP Greg Pavlik’s solution keynote, The Future of AI [SOL3061]. Join us and learn about the latest advances in AI, how Oracle is addressing them, what Oracle plans in this space, and how you can take this information back to your businesses to overcome challenges and successfully implement AI. As AI technology continues to evolve, it becomes easier to automate tasks, improve decision-making, and personalize customer experiences so businesses can achieve their goals more effectively. But what’s truly exciting about AI is the transformational change that’s starting to happen in the AI world with generative AI technologies.

If you’re newer to this topic and you need to know more about what generative AI is, we have you covered with Demystifying Generative AI [LRN4161]. You can gain a conceptual knowledge of generative AI and how it relates to traditional AI services. We also dive into the history of generative AI and the amazing things it can do, such as summarization, classification, generation and more. You’ll learn key terms, such as prompt engineering and fine tuning, describe possible use cases, and discover best practices for starting a new generative AI project and driving it to success.

Learn from customers and partners

What better way to see the possibilities of AI than to hear how your peers are implementing it? Oracle partners and customers will offer real world examples across industries and enterprises, with something for everyone to get inspired.

The field of machine learning (ML) is moving quickly, with many advancements happening just recently. In Unlock Enterprise-Grade Machine Learning on Oracle Cloud [LRN3616], you can see how open source tools, GPUs, and large language models (LLMs) are enabling organizations to unlock better insights from data, and how Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI) Data Science accelerates the work of data scientists and ML engineers by supporting and automating the entire workflow. Hear from the scientists at CERN how they harness OCI Data Science and how it can help your organization reach automation in the cloud, with built-in MLOps capabilities, all on top of OCI’s enterprise-grade security.

We all know that the next digital frontier is in the field of generative AI, but enterprises still grapple with questions of what to expect from the next stage of AI-powered business transformation. In Generative AI and the Next Evolution of Enterprise AI [LRN2471], discover how you can apply generative AI models through a new partnership with Cohere on OCI. This pragmatic, deeper-level conversation is designed to provide you with real best practices, tips and tricks, and practical advice to help get you started with your own generative AI journey.

No matter your business context for AI, our session AI Best Practices and Strategies [PAN2485] can lay necessary groundwork for you. Representatives from Accenture, Cohere, and Oracle walk you through real-world examples from other companies in the areas of healthcare, account classification, and transaction matching, and will discuss the challenges and successes these companies faced on their road to successful AI adoption.

Hands-on labs for direct AI experience

One of the best parts of CloudWorld is learning from peers and experts, especially when you can dig into a topic yourself. Bring your laptop and join our hands-on labs for some deep dives into specific scenarios and services that you can build on for future projects. Add any—or all!—of the following to your schedule and come say hello.

Forget about ChatGPT. Let’s create ChefGPT! You have ingredients in the fridge and pantry, but no ideas on how to cook them. With the help of generative AI, in Welcome to Bistro AI: Create an AI-Powered Recipe Generator [HOL2488] you learn how to tune a transformer model to generate recipes based on ingredients you pass in. Boring meals are a thing of the past, and you can brush up your generative AI skills too.

Removing risk from operational resources and detecting issues across the areas of vegetation overgrowth, utility assets and factory machinery can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process, but it can be automated with AI. In this hands-on lab, Automate Defect Detection using Drones and Image AI [HOL2492], you build a custom model to detect rust on utility poles, using drone images and prebuilt AI vision to automate detection. You can apply this platform across several different related sectors and use cases. Bring your questions and ask our AI experts for their advice and how to apply it to your scenario.

Document AI plays a key role in digital transformation across industries because it can automate insurance claims processing, invoicing and billing of receipts, review of legal documents, and much more. Attend Digital Transformation with Document AI [HOL2498] to discover how OCI Document Understanding can classify documents, detect text, and extract table information from the data. By the end, you’ll be ready to incorporate document AI into your business processes, even if you don’t have data science talent on your team.
