Introduction to AWS AI Ecosystem
In this Session you will get a brief overview of the AWS AI / ML Services.
And how you can start your journey into the AI / ML world in IT.
Presented by: Rinon (AWS UG ZRH)

Optimizing generative AI workloads for sustainability
With the increasing complexity, scale, and adoption of AI workloads, it is important to consider their environmental impact. This session provides environmental sustainability insights that are specific to large language models. Explore practical best practices for different customization scenarios, including training models from the beginning, fine-tuning with additional data using full or parameter-efficient techniques, Retrieval Augmented Generation, and prompt engineering.
Presented by: Jun (AWS)

The Future of Software Development: "From Vibe Coding to Agentic AI"
In this session, Antje will explore the trends shaping the future of software development. We'll dive into the emerging concept of "vibe coding," where developers harness intuition and creativity alongside traditional coding skills. Then, we'll discuss the rise of agentic AI and its potential to revolutionize how we create and maintain software. You will gain insights into how these innovations may transform development processes, team dynamics, and the very nature of coding itself.
