Is your virtualization platform future-proof? Explore VM Migration Strategies

The rapid democratization of AI has not gone unnoticed. Organizations of all sizes, across the globe are now seeking ways to capitalize on this trend. However, the swift advancements in the AI ecosystem come with their own set of challenges. These include selecting the right model, deploying and re-deploying it into the appropriate environment, using different techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) for context awareness, or applying effective fine-tuning techniques. Organizations are now faced with the difficult task of building enterprise-grade, robust, secure, and adaptable AI solutions to achieve their desired outcomes. 

In the current landscape of enterprise AI, developing generative and predictive AI solutions, and leveraging Large Language Models (LLM) faces significant challenges such as dependency on specific model providers, black-box customization issues, and difficulties keeping up with constantly updated open-source machine learning frameworks. This webinar introduces Red Hat's comprehensive open-source approach to overcoming these obstacles, offering scalable and cost-effective solutions for generative AI application development. 

In this session you will learn about:  

 - Understanding Challenges: Dive into different issues such as data access, tooling proliferation, model dependency, and scalable MLOps approaches 
- Red Hat’s Innovative Solutions: Discover how Podman AI Lab, Red Hat Enterprise Linux AI (RHEL AI), Image Mode for RHEL, and OpenShift can simplify your AI development process, reducing costs and enhancing efficiency (DEMO). 
- Scalable AI Operations: Learn about OpenShift AI’s role in enhancing MLOps capabilities, ensuring your AI projects are scalable and manageable. 

Join us to explore how Red Hat's innovative artificial intelligence strategy can revolutionize your enterprise initiatives and propel the development of advanced generative AI applications.

The 5 pillars of an AI strategy

Two key concerns for most IT leaders are security and risk management. When considering the best automation solution for your team, thinking through the most effective and efficient ways to ensure security is key to having a successful automation strategy. This is where Red Hat® Ansible® Certified Content Collections, available only with Red Hat Ansible Automation Platform, come in. 
Join Ansible experts Emily Bock and Jamie Beck as they walk you through how Red Hat platforms are tested and hardened for security, along with the benefits of a Red Hat subscription.

Ansible automation: The security-focused way to automate

According to TechTarget's 2024 Technology Spending Intentions Study, the following areas have become significantly more important to organisations over the past 2 years:

1. Generative AI - 27% of respondents
2. Business and/or IT automation - 32% of respondents

Clearly, there is high interest to invest in AI. However, the journey to enterprise AI is full of challenges and potential pitfalls, and there is a more fundamental consideration in order to ensure greater ease and security for AI - IT Automation. 

On top of that, many questions remain:
-Which use cases make sense? Should we start small and only think about scaling across the enterprise later?
-What about Shadow AI? Shouldn’t the use of AI be “democratised” to ensure greater adoption?
-What are the human and platform capabilities that need to be established in order to eventually build enterprise AI at scale and help AI live up to its promises?

Join us in this IDC webinar sponsored by Red Hat as we answer those questions and discuss how we can make the most of AI while minimising risk.

Modernize your hybrid cloud strategy with Red Hat OpenShift Virtualization

According to Forrester’s 2023 data, over 90% of global enterprise AI decision-makers have concrete plans to implement Generative AI (GenAI). While production use cases are limited to a few sophisticated organizations, enterprises expect broad value from GenAI, with productivity as the leading benefit (47%) and innovation and cost efficiencies coming close with unlimited possibilities to explore . As governments race to unlock the potential of GenAI, the obsession with adding GenAI into existing Chatbots risks obscuring the truly revolutionary opportunities the technology promises and limiting itself to only incremental improvements. For instance, the US . National Bureau of Economic Research and MIT’s Department for Economic Research (respectively) found that adding GenAI into customer service environments provides a 14% productivity improvement versus a 59% in existing document-oriented business operations. 

The truth is GenAI's most profound benefits for public services lie in augmenting human capabilities and streamlining operational efficiencies, with the resulting impact extending far beyond mere customer interactions. Mission as well as the technology leaders who support them must explore the broader applications of GenAI to revolutionize public sector services and operations, harnessing its power to not just improve, but transform service delivery and governmental processes.

Join leaders from Red Hat and Intel, along with our guest speaker, Forrester’s Principal Analyst Sam Higgins, as we explore the state of GenAI adoption in public sector, what traps to avoid when adopting this emerging technology, the benefits government agencies should expect as well as the options and considerations for implementation, drawing on Forrester’s latest research “The State Of AI In The Public Sector”, panel discussion and audience Q&A.
