This week I had the opportunity to attend #TEDAI in SF. It was a fantastic event with lots of great conversations about LLMs, RAG, and where we are headed with AI. Had a chance to meet folks from both Academia and industry, discuss how to reduce LLM hallucinations, and the impact AI can have on our future. The TED talks were amazing and included presentations about using AI across the sciences, in music, art and anything else you can imagine. I had the honor to be a judge at the TED AI hackathon. A big thanks to Microsoft Reactor for hosting, Arun Gupta for organizing the hackathon, Patricia Dugan for her support, so many other mentors, judges and volunteers that helped out, and of course TEDAI San Francisco for producing such a great event). The winning team (ZookeepersAI) did an amazing job in creating an AI system to help Zoo Keepers help animals in zoos stay safe (and used Vectara in their application too). In fact all teams were incredible and a big congratulations to all. We also had the opportunity to meet SF Mayor London Breed who came to see the great innovation at the hackathon, and support the teams. On to TechCrunch Disrupt next week. If you are there would love to meet and chat about RAG-as-a-service and build-vs-buy, or anything else related to RAG and Agentic RAG.
