Microsoft CoPilot and Gen-AI (with Daniel Laskewitz)

Technology Labs

Former member of our Podcast team and Microsoft Cloud Advocate Daniel Laskewitz is now our guest. A great opportunity to check with him the status of Gen-AI at Microsoft. Before we dive into details with Daniel there are some very interesting tech items to discuss. We start with an article on the Verge telling us about how Microsofts Dall-e can filter out specific prompts that could let Copilot generate controversial images (https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/10/24096451/microsoft-blocks-terms-that-could-let-copilot-generate-controversial-images). Local Gen-AI with RAG is something we have been looking at for a long time. Specifically with privacy heavy data (https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/what-is-retrieval-augmented-generation/). A big topic that Microsoft also implements at scale. Further Gen-AI features that Microsoft delivers can be found in the new partnership that is out there with Mistral AI (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-and-mistral-ai-announce-new-partnership-to-accelerate-ai-innovation-and-introduce-mistral-large-first-on-azure/). It really unlocks new Large Language Models to be used by developers.

All-in-all a fun episode to listen to, with some great Gen-AI updates from Microsoft.
