Title: Odyssey - a short story about advanced RAG
Description:
Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) is a mechanism empowering modern LLM systems with external knowledge. In this presentation we will briefly go through the basics but shortly dive very deep into advanced techniques, including the code and architecture of how to implement them, while pondering about their usefulness and caveats.
And to make it extra amazing, it will be set within an imaginative narrative and use-case on which these techniques shall be demonstrated. As ChatGPT says: "Prepare for a journey that melds practical learning with a touch of creativity, offering a glimpse into the future of artificial intelligence."

Title: Creative Ping Pong with AI
Description:
The film industry is being disrupted but doesn't know it yet. With SORA behind the door, tools to generate south-park-like TV Show episodes, or transform a book into a script, the audiovisual landscape will change drastically. I'm experimenting with the tools, my AI-generated videos brought me interesting opportunities, and one of them, GTA: Prague, was featured in many online magazines and news sites, including CNN Prima News. That video was created in just about 7 hours. I will share details about my approach to the creative process and cooperation with AI that helps me to get the most out of it in the shortest time possible. Is this the trick with the pointy hat? Maybe.

Let’s get down to the real talk.
