1. A.I (Artificial Intelligence) for the rest of us Prosper Otemuyiwa | Google DevFest Nairobi 2023
2. PROSPER OTEMUYIWA - Jollof Rice Advocate - Open Source Engineer - Core Team, Novu - Co-founder, Eden Life - Serial startup Investor
3. WHOA! NLP Backward Chaining Deep Learning LangChain LLM Cognitive Computing Forward Chaining Generative AI Neural network AGI ANI Transformer ChatGPT RLHF Zero-shot learning Tensorflow Gradient Descent CNN Diffusion RAG Keras llama PaLM diffusion
4. Why Me, Lord? Sielewi! 😓
5. TO BE AN A.I/M.L ENGINEER …there are some general assumptions
6. 01 Statistician PHD Mathematician 02 03 Be an advanced numbers guru / highly credentialed.
7. Be incredibly smart / genius
8. What About The Rest of Us?
9. WE JUST WANT TO BUILD, SHIP & ENHANCE SOFTWARE not genius / incredibly smart not AI-specialized not highly credentialed
10. There’s Hope for Us! …I promise
11. There’s Hope for Us! Let’s get to work
12. The AI API Approach ❖ Frontend think in Components ❖ Backend think in Services ❖ DevOps think in configs & orchestration
13. KNOW THE VOCAB & BASICS 01 Learn the glossary of A.I, understand the terms so you can leverage the most of it!
14. Glossary & Vocabulary Generative AI - AI focused on generating new and original content, images, text, music etc based on patterns from existing data. LLM - A type of AI model that can generate human-like text and is trained on a broad dataset. Natural Language Processing - AI focused on interaction between humans and computers through natural language.
