Generative AI has created new opportunities for organizations of all sizes. You can easily use tools like ChatGPT, Bard, and Stable Diffusion to generate text and images for product catalogs, marketing campaigns, technical reporting, and other common tasks. Coding assistants like Copilot are accelerating productivity in software teams. In this insightful book, author Amit Bahree shares his experience leading Generative AI projects at Microsoft for nearly a decade, starting well before the current GPT revolution.

Inside Generative AI in Action you will find:

A practical overview of of generative AI applications
Architectural patterns, integration guidance, and best practices for generative AI
The latest techniques like RAG, prompt engineering, and multi-modality
The challenges and risks of generative AI like hallucinations and jailbreaks
How to integrate generative AI into your business and IT strategy

Generative AI in Action stays away from hype and speculation, delivering experience-based advice on how to incorporate AI into your products and processes. You’ll appreciate the relevant use cases that show you how to get started right away, as well as application architectures to deploy GenAI in production at enterprise scale. Show less

Getting quality labeled data for supervised learning is an important step toward training performant machine learning models. In many real-world projects, getting labeled data often takes up a significant amount of time. Weak supervision is emerging as an important catalyst for enabling data science teams to fuse insights from heuristics and crowd-sourcing to produce weakly labeled datasets that can be used as inputs for machine learning and deep learning tasks.

Fundamental concepts of a user, an interface, design and experience are changing. Powered by the right mix of AI and associated cognitive APIs, we are seeing the rise of new user interfaces and experiences with conversational UIs and intelligent assistants such as Microsoft’s Cortana and Amazon’s Alexa. And, in parallel, mobile apps are declining or at least reaching a plateau.

These new AI-driven interfaces are leading to deeper and more meaningful interactions, which are tailored to me… Show more

Fundamental concepts of a user, an interface, design and experience are changing. Powered by the right mix of AI and associated cognitive APIs, we are seeing the rise of new user interfaces and experiences with conversational UIs and intelligent assistants such as Microsoft’s Cortana and Amazon’s Alexa. And, in parallel, mobile apps are declining or at least reaching a plateau.

These new AI-driven interfaces are leading to deeper and more meaningful interactions, which are tailored to me as an individual and to my unique situation. We call this “situational centricity” – which is distinctly human, mostly invisible and seemingly magical. This situational centricity will move from one medium to the next, enriching, expanding, contracting and adapting as needs change. Show less

How is the Automotive industry changing and bringing more digital elements from their customers lives in automobiles.

This article explores peer-to-peer (P2P) concepts and how they are supported in Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5. It aims to provide an understanding of P2P fundamentals, as well as show how to use the new features of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF). Finally, it introduces the new features of managing P2P networks, including the use of People Near Me and Windows Address Book—new features released as part of Windows Vista. (39 pages)

Exceptions are a very powerful concept when used correctly. An important cornerstone in the design of a good application is the strategy you adopt for Exception Management. You must ensure that your design is extensible to be able to handle unforeseen exceptions gracefully, log them appropriately and generate metrics to allow the applications to be monitored externally.
