Crucial considerations for adopting generative AI
Generative AI has taken the world by storm, piquing the interest of leaders who want to leverage AI-powered technologies like ChatGPT and seize the opportunity to disrupt and innovate. But as with many leading-edge technologies, it's easy to get caught up in the hype and make hasty decisions that don't consider the potential limitations and risks of technology adoption.

While innovation by definition is about taking risks, when the stakes are high, companies must take a considered approach to make well-informed technology decisions.

As a company that has been pioneering the way the world experiences property for more than two decades, REA Group has ridden the waves of technology breakthroughs. Recently, they have been experimenting with using LLMs and have seen some potential for on-device LLMs, while other technologies like ChatGPT and Copilot have been put on-hold due to security and privacy concerns.

In this session, you will walk away with:

• Insights on how organizations can use Generative AI in a practical way with watch-outs and tips on how to proceed cautiously to avoid inappropriate uses that can lead to reputational and security risks.
• Real world examples of the constraints and possibilities of adopting AI to deliver sustainable value for your organization, from technologists who work on complex challenges day in, day out.
• A better understanding of how to work with Large Language Models (LLMs) in your organization or tech strategy, with a close look into the potential of on-device LLMs.
