The GenAI Stack, Explained for Everyone

​We're all bombarded by exaggerated claims around AI. Behind all of this, one thing is certain: There is a concrete GenAI Stack with multiple layers, and with specific categories and tools in each layer.

Let's discuss each of these layers and categories, in simple language for non-tech professionals. Gaining a better understanding of the actual capabilities of these tools will help you better map the implications for your own work and career, your team, your profession or your organization.

​We will go through:

• ​Layer 1: Foundation & Compute

• ​Layer 2: Data

• ​Layer 3: Orchestration

• ​Layer 4: Tooling

​The GenAI Stack Map version we'll use during the session comes from this resource. Coming into the session, you'll only need a basic understanding of how Large Language Models work (5 min explainer here), and we'll go through the other elements of the stack together.

If you think the session will be useful to others around you, share the event link with them as well.

​Flow of the session:

• ​5 min Welcome & intros

• ​35 min Overview of the GenAI Stack, with examples

• ​20 min Discussions and Q&A
