Generative AI is rapidly changing how we build applications, work with data, and develop software. But what exactly is Generative AI, how do Foundation Models and LLMs work, and how do these concepts translate into real-world solutions on AWS?
In this session, we’ll start with the fundamentals of Generative AI and progressively connect those concepts to practical AWS services through hands-on demonstrations.

### What we'll cover

1. Generative AI Fundamentals

  • AI vs. Generative AI
  • What makes Generative AI different
  • What GenAI can create — text, images, code, audio, and video

2. Foundation Models & LLMs

  • What Foundation Models are
  • How they differ from traditional task-specific models
  • Understanding Large Language Models (LLMs)
  • How a single model can perform multiple tasks
  • Real-world Generative AI applications

3. Working with Generative AI

  • Prompt Engineering
  • Few-Shot Prompting
  • Understanding and handling hallucinations
  • Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG)
  • AI Agents and tool/API integration

### Live Demos

Amazon Bedrock
Explore Foundation Models, generate content, and see how RAG and Knowledge Bases connect models with external and enterprise data.
PartyRock
Build a Generative AI application without writing code, understand what happens behind the application, and see how user inputs can generate personalised results.
Amazon Q Developer
See how Generative AI can become part of the software development workflow — from generating and explaining code to debugging, fixing, and refactoring it.

### Bringing It All Together

We’ll close by looking at where Generative AI fits within the AWS ecosystem, including:

  • Amazon Bedrock — building applications with Foundation Models
  • PartyRock — experimenting and building GenAI applications without coding
  • Amazon Q Developer — AI-assisted software development
  • Knowledge Bases — connecting GenAI applications to enterprise knowledge using RAG
  • Agents for Amazon Bedrock — connecting AI models to tools, APIs, and business workflows

Whether you're new to Generative AI or already experimenting with LLMs, this session is designed to give you a clear understanding of the concepts while showing how they can be applied using AWS.
Come learn the fundamentals, see the technology in action, and understand how to move from Generative AI concepts to practical AWS solutions.
