Microsoft Copilot and Gen-AI (with Daniel Laskewitz

Before we dive into details with Daniel there are some very interesting tech items to discuss. We start with an article on the Verge telling us about how Microsofts Dall-e can filter out specific prompts that could let Copilot generate controversial images (https://www.theverge.com/2024/3/10/24096451/microsoft-blocks-terms-that-could-let-copilot-generate-controversial-images). Local Gen-AI with RAG is something we have been looking at for a long time. Specifically with privacy heavy data (https://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/what-is-retrieval-augmented-generation/). A big topic that Microsoft also implements at scale. Further Gen-AI features that Microsoft delivers can be found in the new partnership that is out there with Mistral AI (https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/microsoft-and-mistral-ai-announce-new-partnership-to-accelerate-ai-innovation-and-introduce-mistral-large-first-on-azure/). It really unlocks new Large Language Models to be used by developers.

All-in-all a fun episode to listen to, with some great Gen-AI updates from Microsoft.
