Hello Gophers! Our **Ultimate Practical AI** workshop will be held on **21 May 2026**, before our GopherCon Singapore 2026 conference. You can buy tickets for the conference and this workshop at our [GopherCon Singapore 2026 website](https://2026.gophercon.sg). Workshop description follows: This is a hands-on, full-day workshop where you'll build a complete AI-powered application in Go — from first prompt to production-ready system. You'll start by connecting your Go application to a language model and grounding its responses in real data using Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG). Then you'll give it the ability to act on the world through Tool Calling, Function Execution, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP). With the core system working, you'll learn the advanced optimization techniques that separate prototypes from production — speculative decoding, semantic caching, and intelligent model routing. Finally, you'll harden everything against the security threats unique to LLM-powered systems, from prompt injection to data exfiltration. Each part builds on the last. By the end of the day, you won't just understand these concepts — you'll have built, optimized, and secured a working system that retrieves, reasons, and acts. ### Full Curriculum #### What a Student Is Expected to Learn By the end of this workshop, you'll leave with working code, a production-ready mindset for AI-powered Go applications, and hands-on experience across the full stack: retrieval, action, performance, and security. 🚀 ##### Part 1: Ground It — Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) in Go * **Understanding RAG Concepts** – Improve responses by dynamically retrieving relevant context rather than relying solely on static training data. * **Ingesting and Processing Documents** – Build pipelines to index and retrieve documents from client systems. * **Interacting with AI-Compatible APIs** – Learn how Go applications can connect to local inference engines, OpenAI-compatible servers, or cloud AI services. * **Optimizing Performance & Latency** – Implement caching, batching, and parallel processing to enhance efficiency. * **Using Vector Databases** – Store and search embeddings with tools such as Chroma, Pinecone, Weaviate, Milvus or pgvector in PostgreSQL. ##### Part 2: Make It Act — Tool Calling, Function Execution & MCP in Go * **How AI Uses Tool Calling** – Enable external system control by allowing AI to invoke predefined functions in Go. * **Building Function Calls with OpenAI-Compatible Systems** – Define structured function inputs and outputs for AI-driven interactions. * **Connecting to External APIs & Databases** – Trigger real-world actions, query databases, and automate workflows. * **Handling Responses & Errors** – Ensure safe and reliable execution of AI-invoked functions. * **Introduction to the Model Context Protocol (MCP)** – Understand how MCP standardizes the way models discover and invoke tools. Build a simple MCP server in Go that exposes tools to any MCP-compatible client, showing how it compares to direct function calling. ##### Part 3: Make It Fast — Advanced Optimizations * **Speculative Decoding** – Use a smaller draft model alongside a larger verification model to get near-large-model quality at small-model speeds. Applicable to both local inference libraries and serving engines that support it natively. * **Automatic Prefix Caching & KV Cache Reuse** – Structure multi-turn conversations so shared prefixes (system prompts, conversation history) are cached and reused across requests, avoiding redundant computation. Manage message arrays carefully to keep prefixes stable across turns. * **Semantic Caching** – Embed user queries and check vector similarity against cached query-response pairs, returning cached answers for semantically equivalent questions without running inference — implementable in Go with any embedding model or API. * **Adaptive Retrieval** – Use a lightweight classifier or a small local model to decide whether RAG context is needed at all, avoiding irrelevant context injection that can degrade response quality. * **Cascading Model Routing** – Route queries to different models based on complexity: a fast small model for simple questions, escalating to a larger model only when confidence is low, implemented as Go middleware. ##### Part 4: Lock It Down — Securing LLM-Powered Go Applications * **Prompt Injection Defenses** – Understand direct and indirect prompt injection attacks, and implement role separation, input sanitization, and detection strategies. Demonstrate how injected instructions in user input or retrieved documents can hijack model behavior. * **Securing Tool Calls** – Apply least-privilege principles to exposed functions, prevent command injection from model output, and enforce authorization checks before execution. * **RAG Pipeline Security** – Guard against data poisoning and indirect injection via ingested documents. Show how a malicious document in the vector DB can manipulate retrieval results and model responses, and defend with access controls, relevance thresholds, and content isolation. * **Output Sanitization & Exfiltration Prevention** – Sanitize model-generated content before rendering in web UIs to prevent XSS. Defend against data exfiltration where the model encodes sensitive retrieved data into tool call arguments targeting attacker-controlled endpoints, using domain allowlists and egress filtering. * **Chain-of-Call Escalation** – Show how a model can chain multiple tool calls in a single turn to escalate privileges. Implement call budgets, supervision layers, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints in Go.

**Welcome to Drunken Philosophy** a casual, curious social discussion **Optional topic for this meetup: What's up with all the AI hate?** A recent survey found that 74% of Americans have a negative view of AI, and I want to know why. Come out and debate whether AI is good or bad. My hot take: a labor-saving tool that could potentially help cure cancer gets called dangerous because it might raise unemployment or cause a speculative investment bubble, that tells you a lot more about capitalism and the economic system we live under than it does about the tool itself. As a computer programmer, I think AI is a wonderful tool that has increased my productivity by at least an order of magnitude. I'd go so far as to say Claude Code is the best tool I have ever used. Debate me and name a better one. Is AI potentially dangerous? Yes, but so are a lot of tools. Chainsaws. Steam engines (early ones would occasionally explode and kill everyone in the room). Do you think cavemen sat around debating whether fire could be used as a weapon or for self-harm, and decided not to discover it? I have two friends who hate AI for opposite reasons: one thinks it's a fad and not useful, and the other thinks it's going to take over everything and cause human extinction. Come out tonight, have a friendly debate, and make some friends. No lectures. Friendly crowd. Drop in for one drink and stay if it's fun.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
