Talk: Databases in the AI Trenches

Postgres and the Artificial Intelligence Landscape,(https://momjian.us/main/presentations/extended.html#landscape) artificial intelligence use has exploded, with much anticipation about its future. This talk explores many of the advances that has fueled this explosion, including multi-dimensional vectors, text embeddings, semantic/vector search, transformers, generative AI, and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (rag).
