#Gen AI in resource management

[generative-ai-in-bi]

How Does Gen AI Make Resource Allocation Cost-Efficient?

Find out how Gen AI enhances cost-efficiency in resource allocation with cutting-edge algorithms and data insights for smarter business decisions.

In the contemporary business world, strategy implementation requires proper management of resources to sustain organizational competitiveness. Resource allocation is a critical capability for today’s businesses as it enables efficient and effective resource usage as a way of optimizing profits and reducing costs. However, most traditional techniques for resource allocation are defective since the data used are either inaccurate or insufficient to exact resource optimizations. This is where Generative AI (Gen AI) comes into play. Gen AI is revolutionizing the way businesses approach the management of their resources through increased efficiency, operational costs, and responsiveness to changing market conditions, all due to its use of sophisticated algorithms and access to large quantities of data.

Generative AI offers a new dimension in the concept of cost because they make data as the center of resource management plans. Through its real-time analysis of large datasets, Gen AI can help businesses make better decisions on the deployment of their resources. In terms of inventory, workforce, or supplies, Generative AI guarantees the spending of available resources to the least possible extent. As mentioned above the advantages of implementing Gen AI in resource management is not a pipe dream; there are already companies across industries that are realizing lower operational costs and higher efficiency.

Predictive Analytics for Demand Forecasting

The most significant application of Generative AI in the allocation of resources is its predictive analytics use in demand forecasting. Gen AI uses historical data to make persistent analyzes and draw the corresponding conclusion of future demand for products and/or services. It is most applicable in the management of inventory since both overstocking and stock-outs can be very costly. Overstocking means keeping excess inventory leads to the consumption of company capital, and stock-outs lead to lost business and customers’ disappointment. This is where Generative AI can help with demand forecasting, allowing businesses to have just the right amount of stock which is optimal for fulfilling customer needs without overstocking.

For example, a retailer leveraging Gen AI for demand forecasting can plan for increased demand of certain products during festive occasions and replenish their stock in advance. This approach reduces the probability of overstocking, but also helps to avoid stock-outs and hence the use of resources and costs are optimized. Within industries like manufacturing where raw materials and production schedules need to be carefully managed, Generative AI can forecast fluctuations in demand and optimize the supply chain as well, further reducing costs and improving efficiency.

Optimizing Workforce Allocation

There are other important area like workforce management where Generative AI can drive significant cost efficiencies. Typically, workforce management often involves manual scheduling, and this causes some problems such as high levels of inefficiency in utilization of labor resources, which include time wastage and over-time costs. As for generative AI, it is capable of identifying workforce needs of a company based on project requirements, skills and workload balances. This way, it avoids issues such as over staffing, which may lead to wastage of resources, or understaffing that may slow down productivity.

For example, in a manufacturing plant, Gen AI is capable of estimating peak and off production seasons and then schedule the employees. For instance, the AI could recommend hiring additional workers during peak production periods as well as downsizing during slower periods. Such a level of precision in workforce allocation not only reduces idle time and overtime expenses but also enhances overall productivity. Several companies that have integrated AI in workforce management solutions have realized better control of workforce costs and increased employees’ satisfaction since the workforce is well-matched with the business needs.

Enhancing Supply Chain Efficiency

Supply chain management usually involves a cocktail of issues including supplier selection, logistics, and inventory management which all have the tendency of contributing to the over cost of the overall chain. The innovation of generative AI presents a powerful solution to these challenges since it improves the transparency and flow of supply chain. Gen AI is also very effective in analyzing data from all supply chain links from the procurement of raw materials to final product delivery; Gen AI can identify cost-effective suppliers, optimize logistics routes, and streamline inventory management.

For instance, Generative AI can analyze historical data to identify the best suppliers regarding delivery time, quality, and price in the supply chain. It also simplifies the process of finding new sources and can help to negotiate for better prices and improved supply chain reliability. As for the concept of logistic, Gen AI can easily find the best routes to transport goods, reducing fuel consumption and delivery times, which directly translates into cost savings. Further, by providing real-time insights into inventory levels, Generative AI is also important in eliminating excess stock and stock out situations hence increasing the efficiency of the supply chain and decrease operational costs.

Dynamic Pricing Models with Gen AI

Dynamic pricing is a method through which prices for products and services are varied according to the current market conditions. Generative AI helps to integrate flexible pricing strategies into enterprises with high levels of accuracy based on market changes. Having information about the customer behavior, competitor actions, and broader economic trends, Gen AI can suggest the optimal price adjustments that balance competitiveness with profitability.

For instance, an e-commerce platform with Gen AI to apply dynamic pricing will reduce product prices during low demand in the market in order to increase its sales revenue, and increase prices during high demand to increase its profits. This flexibility in pricing helps businesses want to remain relevant and at the same time make profits without having to compromise on its profit margins. Companies that have adopted the use of AI in pricing strategies have disclosed that they have realized an increase in revenue and profit margins, as they are able to respond more quickly and effectively to market changes.

Energy Consumption and Sustainability

The cost of energy consumption for a business is one of its significant expenses depending on the industry where it operates, specifically those relying heavily on energy, such as manufacturing industries and other sectors utilizing large amounts of energy. As for the challenges and the solutions, there are still some challenges to be addressed that lead to Generative AI’s major advantage of improving efficiency in energy consumption and leading to cost reduction for renewable energy, which in turn makes a positive impact toward achieving sustainability. Because the patterns of energy use, equipment performance, and production schedule can be monitored and analyzed, Gen AI can suggest changes to optimize energy use and increase efficiency.

For example, in the manufacturing environment, Gen AI can use data from sensors installed in manufacturing equipment to identify low energy consumption time and recommend changes to the schedules or equipment settings. This not only lowers energy costs but also supports the company’s sustainability initiatives by reducing its carbon footprint. Industries like automotive manufacturing where energy cost forms a good fraction of the total cost have already started realizing benefits of AI-driven energy management with companies recording improvements in energy consumption of more than 20%.

Risk Management and Cost Control

It is crucial to function as a risk management practice since uncontrolled risks may significantly impact the company’s profitability. Generative AI plays a crucial role in risk management, as it helps to determine risks before they occur and provides recommendations on how to avoided them. Using historical data, trends, and various indicators, Gen AI can predict potential disruptions and recommend ways of preventing or mitigating them.

For instance, in the financial sector of a business, Gen AI can look at the market tendencies, identify emerging economic risks that might affect either a company’s investment or operations. Through early identification of these risks, the AI enables the management to make necessary changes, including adjusting investment portfolios or resource allocations, to minimize loss. This proactive approach not only lowers the probability of losses, but also helps in better dealing with the budget management, as the resources can be distributed with more precision if the risks are taken into consideration.

Continuous Learning and Improvement

One of the major benefits of Generative AI is that it expands and develops a model while working on it. Unlike traditional systems, Gen AI receives new data more often and updates its algorithms for efficient resource allocation. This continuous learning process makes certain that the AI in cost management is always up to date achieving further improved levels of effectiveness and efficiency.

For example, in a retail context, Gen AI might initially analyze sales data to optimize inventory levels. As the customer data and seasonal trends are accumulated or the conditions of competition changes, the AI system would move to more effective recommendations of solution making the whole process cost saving and more efficient. Such continuous improvement process plays an important role in contemporary business environment in order to cope up with emerging business environments.

Conclusion

This is what generative AI is doing for businesses as it brings efficiency, flexibility, and profitability to resource management. Besides, more operational expertise, workforce and supply chain management, flexible pricing, and risk management allow Gen AI to greatly contribute to cost cutting and increased effectiveness. With the progressing advancement of Generative AI systems, it will be to businesses’ advantage to allocate the power of this technology to resource management. It is for this reason that cost management of the future is already here, and it is driven by Generative AI.

The Great All Generation Nuzlocks Roundup

This is gonna be long and have multiple parts thanks to the image limit on posts. Each game will be headlined by their title in Bold Print so if you're only interested in certain games it'll be easy to filter through. These notes will also only be on the Successful Run of each game. I'll note how many times I wiped in each game, but largely won't mention those runs for sake of relative brevity.

All runs were performed with the following rules - Only One Encounter Per Route/Zone/Area/Cave [Unique Names Denote Separate Areas] No Duplicate Encounters No Using Items In Battle No In-Game Trades No Overleveling the next Gym Leader or Major Boss Purchased/Gift Pokemon Are Allowed (Though there is only one case where I use one) but count as your encounter for that Area. No Use Of 'Affection' Based Mechanics.

RED - Kanto is a genuine joy to Nuzlocke for a few reasons. It's quick to get going, most early game Pokemon are quite strong (Ratticate, Primeape, Nidoking/queen, and Fearow are all genuinely incredible encounters), and it has probably the most balanced set of starters overall with regards to choice. All three have viable reasonings to be picked in the context of a nuzlocke. I, personally, went with Bulbasaur because my primary goal was to Win The Game and not to flex.

Kanto's also great for developing basic skills for nuzlocking. Team building, knowing when to switch, resource/Power Point management, moveset scouting, etc. all go much farther than normal in Kanto thanks to the poor AI and generally weak enemy trainers.

My favorite thing about it, though, and what made it very fun and a great start is that unlike every other region you can 100% assure yourself VERY powerful encounters in the mid and late game, and I don't mean gift Pokemon. There's just so many routes where all the encounters are filler you're 100% going to have out of the way early (Ratata, pidgey, etc.) that it's a surefire thing that you WILL get a Doduo right outside Celadon, for instance. Extending this to the whole region, you can guarantee you get other extremely potent Pokemon like Slowbro, which I did.

My team in this one was a strong Water/Fire/Grass core and otherwise strong goodstufts that compliment one another well. The surprise of this run was definitely Arcanine. I remember as a kid really being underwhelmed with trying to raise a Growlithe and never really getting the hype behind Arcanine outside of a VGC setting. However, I realized as an adult that keeping it a Growlithe until level 50 for flamethrower is Stupid. I immediately evolved that sucker and taught it Dig, which has 100 base power in gen 1. Arcanine was able to coast off of Dig and Body Slam until we beat Blaine and got the Fire Blast TM. It can also learn Reflect in this gen! All in all a stellar team member whose absolutely massive stats right after obtaining at level 19 really let it shine!

I always forget just how absurd the level swing from even just Lorelei to Blue is though. Just an absolute cliff of increase. Thankfully, however, leveling up in Kanto is a non-issue, so I was able to keep pace even while abiding Hardcore Nuzlocke rules. Total Wipes - 0

CRYSTAL - My overall opinion on Johto really hasn't changed at all, lol. It's still suffers a lot from what I'll call 'Fake Nonlinearity'. Like, sure, you CAN go to a lot of places after beating Morty but like...why would you do anything but go Chuck->Jasmine->Pryce and their associated content? It's not like you can meaningfully get strong early since the entire region has a dearth of strong trainers and wild pokemon alike. It's simply not productive to do things outside of the obviously intended order, except perhaps in the context of a Nuzlocke and trying to get some encounters early.

What does give Nuzlocking this region a unique flavor is that the best pokemon in the game, Alakazam, is a 100% ensured encounter assuming you're willing to pass over the free Eevee from Bill, which you should be. For a mere 200 coins at the game corner, you can get an Abra which can immediately be taught all 3 elemental punches on the cheap and raised up. Johto Nuzlockes thus take the form more of building an ensemble cast to support your clear Main Character, rather than building a cohesive team. As a result, Steelix and Machamp greatly stood out for being so dramatically different from Alakazam that they could patch up his few deficiencies.

We faced a setback VERY late and lost our Tauros on Victory Road, leading to the emergency training of Golly the Politoed. He ended up doing almost nothing, but that's true for the entire team besides Pugilist, who swept the entire Elite 4 and Lance unassisted.

It was definitely a fun time and had a very unique flavor compared to other regions. What Johto offers it does offer uniquely, at least.

Total Wipes - 2 (Rival Fight in Azalea Town Gym Leader Morty)

EMERALD - I'm gonna be totally honest. I love Hoenn and I love Gen 3 but I had somehow never actually pushed all the way through Emerald before. I've beaten Sapphire and ORAS each several times, so there was some nice new stuff to me waiting. Emerald is the first game you can play that still feels 'Modern' even without the Phys/Special split. The gameplay design, routes, and everything else just feel much more well realized and iterated upon, which makes sense. Gen 2 was made to capitalize on the Pokemon Craze where Gen 3 was made with the idea of 'Oh, we have a long running thing on our hands.' They worked to impress!

That said, I don't have all that much to say! Emerald is a very Standard Pokemon game and I had a lot of fun with it. I did end up repeating a single pokemon on my endgame team, Gyarados, but most of the run was played without it. I simply blundered a good number of strong encounters away in the midgame and had to fall back on a Pokemon I knew would be strong and could help get me through the Elite 4 and Juan!

This team has a very funny Water/Fire/Grass/Water/Grass core and it's also the first game where I actually EV trained my team on purpose. Thanks to Gen 3's thoughtful encounter design, training up Sp. Attack, HP, Speed, and Defense are all trivial, which greatly helped out. Sunny Day on Ludicolo was specifically to counter Juan, and we NEEDED it too because we lost Gyarados to Drake and Juan got TWO FREEZES in that final battle, so I needed Ludicolo to put in extra work. All in all, this was definitely one of my weaker Final teams, but I partly blame that on my relative unfamiliarity with Emerald's mid and late game. I also simply was not using all the resources at my disposal, which would dramatically change starting with the next game. The big surprise was honestly Electrode, who was a pretty stellar and reliable teammate all through the late and endgame due to fast, strong thunderbolts and screens support.

This game had a nickname theme - Fruits.

Total Wipes - 1 (Gym Leader Brawly)

PLATINUM - If you've followed me long enough you know I've historically been very hard on Gen 4. I do not like Diamond/Pearl and have started and dropped Platinum many times. However, this run I had a genuine joy playing through. Really and truly, playing in this format with the momentum of three runs behind me energized me to see Sinnoh in a new light and I can truly appreciate the dramatic improvements Platinum makes to the region. Most importantly, I've made a new, lifelong friend.

Encountered as a Nosepass at level 14 in Mt.Coronet, Cao Cao was a true champion and help throughout the midgame and into the early late game. Stonewalling tons of trainers, enabling easy captures on lots of encounters, offering free and important switches at critical moments, and just generally being a reliable member of our core duo for most of the game with Rotom Fan...but we lost him at Iron Island in a completely optional double battle... (artist's rendition in the workbench room at my office)

To make matters worse, the teammate we went to Iron Island for, our Scyther so we could evolve her into Scizor, would also be lost shortly before the Elite 4, rendering his loss all the more painful! I knew, for him, we had to carry on and we had to win.

And win we did. My total unfamiliarity with Platinum past the first couple gyms had me doing much more planning and research out of game on upcoming trainers to help ensure a strong run. As a result we lost far less team members than in the past three runs. In particular I was really sweating the encounters with Barry, who is dramatically stronger than previous rivals. But really, we didn't have any noteworthy losses to him.

Platinum is certainly a challenging game in its back quarter but it also really squanders its otherwise quite excellent pacing in the first two thirds or so of the game. After the sixth gym the game gets really long in the tooth and I was just ready for it to be over by the end. Nonetheless, I did have quite a lot of fun and when I play Platinum again in the future I'll definitely do it as a more casual nuzlocke, for fun.

For the vast majority of this run I had a Rotom Fan, Probopass, and Scizor but they were all lost somewhat to VERY late and were replaced with the bottom row. While Whiscash and Porygon 2 stepped right up and were excellent performers, Bronzong was absolutely abysmal and did nothing but provide a single free switch against Cynthia. This run also came closest to dying, with only Crobat surviving the champion battle. (in my heart, however, any team that completes the game all get to go on and I have in fact transferred them into pokemon home, lol) Wuxuan the Crobat was basically my true starter. With me from before the first gym and all the way through to the end. A stellar pokemon. While this run endeared me to many Pokemon I hadn't used in game - or at all - before in Rapidash, Crobat, and Rotom Fan, above them all stands my new true friend, Probopass.

This run was downright cursed when it came to natures, too. Basically every single encounter had a nature that was negative on their most important stat. It was really frustrating, tbh!

This game has the second and final case of a team having a duplicate species of a previous team - Machamp This game has a nickname theme - Romance of the Three Kingdoms

Total Wipes - 0

Post will continue in a Part 2 because of the post image limit.

As an avid fan of Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk setting I cannot help but just look at the year 2024 in the US and be like: Yea Mike, you were a little off and a bit ahead, or a lot, but like holy fuck the internet and cyber tech has been so misused and is now the tool of corporations to fuck us over.

First off, phone phishing??? I have spam filters and still get 2-5 phishing phone calls a day that, if I do pick up, try to trick me into giving away my voice and data. This has become so common that literally no one I know answers a call unless they know the number or are actively awaiting a call from an unknown number (for job interviews, appointments, etc).

We, on the regular, deal with AI that is meant to steal our voices, names, and other cruical data. This has brought us to manage unknown numbers the same way we manage superstitious entities such as fae in fairy tales. How fucked up is that?

Streaming, once an alternative to and then a replacement of video stores, has come to replace TV and is severely less consumer friendly as access to media has become severely fragmented by the corporate nature of these services. I won't even get into the decreasing quality of popular media, just simply look at Disney to see the shift.

Social media? Something that was meant to connect family, friends, and community? Yea, that's now a sespool of ads, has algorithms that will try to feed you misinformation, and has been made into an addictive drug meant to keep people seperated and inactive in the freetime that we have.

There's come a large group of people in my generation (gen Z) and those who came before us (Millenials), who simply do not pay for our media. Piracy of old and new movies, shows, videogames, music, and even books has simply become the norm because we cannot afford to pay for it, and what we can access on the corpo sites has been severely reduced in quality by easily evaded ads.

And what do I have to say to that? We live in a capitalist society and we gotta play the game to live until we break it. They can't create a product that we're willing to use? Boohoo, someone outcompeted them by providing us with a product that removes ads that only serve to degrade, seperate, or comodify us. Corporations act like they deserve our subservience, money, and labor -- they don't.

Moving on from just entertainment and social media, search engines, our phones, and nearly everything we have to access the internet is used to track us and sell our data so that we may be comodified more efficiently by the corpos. We may say "I'm gonna google that", but many of us have stopped using google and other engines because of how bad they are at actually giving us good results. Task specific search engines and ones that don't track or sell our data (like duckduckgo) have become common place.

Also, just, most people do not own their own media? Some people don't own a single movie, show, song, book, videogame, or any other digital media and instead opt to stream them (ie spotify) or purchase access to them (ie steam). I know very few people in my generation who own a cd player or any type of physical music, and it just throws me.

The internet and digital tech could have been so much better and can do so much good, but no, it's used for capitalism instead.

Wage theft, job theft, piracy, and phishing.

Down with the capitalist system, let's bring on a future wherein our art, knowledge, social forums, and automatons are not weaponized against us so that we may share the resources we need to survive, thrive, and live fulfilling lives.

[plotholes-and-spellingerrors]

But I think the point is that the "AI" (marketing term) that was used for Spiderverse is NOT THE SAME TECHNOLOGY as the "AI" (marketing term) that outputs simulacrums of text or images as a response to user input, right?

Like, [a stand mixer] and [every item in your kitchen drawers duct taped to the business end of a a V8 625 HP outboard motor] are both, technically, kitchen appliances. But one is purpose-built for a specific task, and one is both ridiculously over-powered while also being almost unusably broadly specified. The stand mixer is a $200 one-time purchase that lives in your house on your kitchen counter, whereas the 625 HP omnitensil is a $20 monthly subscription that runs on gasoline and that can only be used at the omnitensil depot. You could, probably, baby-sit and micro-manage the All The Food Everywhere All At Once Device to the point of getting something that resembles a beaten egg (and most of it sill in the bowl, even! ...Though you did need to hand-craft a bowl that could contain the egg during the procedure) but at that point, why not just buy the stand mixer?

The point is that the Spiderverse folks didn't HAVE to micromanage a "generative AI" model to get it to output every frame with a line in the right place, because they were not using a "generative AI" tool.

(And this is my personal opinion here, but I'm not sure that gen ai will ever be able to be as good as something like a rendering program or a photoshop brush because those are tools built and optimized for a specific task, whereas "gen ai" is intended to be a "general intelligence" - capable of doing whatever. But there's so much that can be asked of such a tool that I think there's not enough data in the world to effectively train it and it would be too computationally expensive to do so... and if you managed to make it anyway, it would be so resource-heavy to run that there would be zero reason to use it in favor of a smaller, simpler, purpose-built tool.)

Anyway, thanks for reading my late-night rant lol

In addition to freeing operators from outdated, inefficient methods that require careful supervision and extra resources, AI enables real-time, adaptive optimisation of application scaling. Ultimately, these benefits combine to enhance efficiency and reduce costs for targeted applications.

With its predictive capabilities, AI ensures that applications scale efficiently, improving performance and resource allocation—marking a major advance over conventional methods.

Ahead of AI & Big Data Expo Europe, Han Heloir, EMEA gen AI senior solutions architect at MongoDB, discusses the future of AI-powered applications and the role of scalable databases in supporting generative AI and enhancing business processes.

AI News: As AI-powered applications continue to grow in complexity and scale, what do you see as the most significant trends shaping the future of database technology?

Heloir: While enterprises are keen to leverage the transformational power of generative AI technologies, the reality is that building a robust, scalable technology foundation involves more than just choosing the right technologies. It’s about creating systems that can grow and adapt to the evolving demands of generative AI, demands that are changing quickly, some of which traditional IT infrastructure may not be able to support. That is the uncomfortable truth about the current situation.

Today’s IT architectures are being overwhelmed by unprecedented data volumes generated from increasingly interconnected data sets. Traditional systems, designed for less intensive data exchanges, are currently unable to handle the massive, continuous data streams required for real-time AI responsiveness. They are also unprepared to manage the variety of data being generated.

The generative AI ecosystem often comprises a complex set of technologies. Each layer of technology—from data sourcing to model deployment—increases functional depth and operational costs. Simplifying these technology stacks isn’t just about improving operational efficiency; it’s also a financial necessity.

AI News: What are some key considerations for businesses when selecting a scalable database for AI-powered applications, especially those involving generative AI?

Heloir: Businesses should prioritise flexibility, performance and future scalability. Here are a few key reasons:

The variety and volume of data will continue to grow, requiring the database to handle diverse data types—structured, unstructured, and semi-structured—at scale. Selecting a database that can manage such variety without complex ETL processes is important.

AI models often need access to real-time data for training and inference, so the database must offer low latency to enable real-time decision-making and responsiveness.

As AI models grow and data volumes expand, databases must scale horizontally, to allow organisations to add capacity without significant downtime or performance degradation.

Seamless integration with data science and machine learning tools is crucial, and native support for AI workflows—such as managing model data, training sets and inference data—can enhance operational efficiency.

AI News: What are the common challenges organisations face when integrating AI into their operations, and how can scalable databases help address these issues?

Heloir: There are a variety of challenges that organisations can run into when adopting AI. These include the massive amounts of data from a wide variety of sources that are required to build AI applications. Scaling these initiatives can also put strain on the existing IT infrastructure and once the models are built, they require continuous iteration and improvement.

To make this easier, a database that scales can help simplify the management, storage and retrieval of diverse datasets. It offers elasticity, allowing businesses to handle fluctuating demands while sustaining performance and efficiency. Additionally, they accelerate time-to-market for AI-driven innovations by enabling rapid data ingestion and retrieval, facilitating faster experimentation.

AI News: Could you provide examples of how collaborations between database providers and AI-focused companies have driven innovation in AI solutions?

Heloir: Many businesses struggle to build generative AI applications because the technology evolves so quickly. Limited expertise and the increased complexity of integrating diverse components further complicate the process, slowing innovation and hindering the development of AI-driven solutions.

One way we address these challenges is through our MongoDB AI Applications Program (MAAP), which provides customers with resources to assist them in putting AI applications into production. This includes reference architectures and an end-to-end technology stack that integrates with leading technology providers, professional services and a unified support system.

MAAP categorises customers into four groups, ranging from those seeking advice and prototyping to those developing mission-critical AI applications and overcoming technical challenges. MongoDB’s MAAP enables faster, seamless development of generative AI applications, fostering creativity and reducing complexity.

AI News: How does MongoDB approach the challenges of supporting AI-powered applications, particularly in industries that are rapidly adopting AI?

Heloir: Ensuring you have the underlying infrastructure to build what you need is always one of the biggest challenges organisations face.

To build AI-powered applications, the underlying database must be capable of running queries against rich, flexible data structures. With AI, data structures can become very complex. This is one of the biggest challenges organisations face when building AI-powered applications, and it’s precisely what MongoDB is designed to handle. We unify source data, metadata, operational data, vector data and generated data—all in one platform.

AI News: What future developments in database technology do you anticipate, and how is MongoDB preparing to support the next generation of AI applications?

Heloir: Our key values are the same today as they were when MongoDB initially launched: we want to make developers’ lives easier and help them drive business ROI. This remains unchanged in the age of artificial intelligence. We will continue to listen to our customers, assist them in overcoming their biggest difficulties, and ensure that MongoDB has the features they require to develop the next [generation of] great applications.

BT Group’s Digital Unit launches GenAI Gateway platform powered by AWS

BT Group’s Digital Unit has announced the launch of an innovative internal platform to help the company tap into the power of large language models (LLMs) from providers such as Anthropic, Meta, Claude, Cohere, and Amazon. The GenAI Gateway, built in collaboration with AWS and using Amazon Bedrock, Amazon SageMaker and AWS Professional Services capabilities, provides secure, private access to a range of natural-language processing and large language models, a critical tool BT Group will use as it embeds AI into the way it runs the business. Ad-hoc use of LLMs, whilst appropriate for test and development work, is not well suited to large scale use; cost control, security and privacy need more careful management. LLM performance also needs to be monitored, for unexpected errors (e.g. “hallucinations”) and model decay over time (where LLMs stop behaving as expected). The GenAI Gateway also gives BT Group protection against ‘lock-in’ to any given LLM if any other issues emerge. The use of GenAI Gateway platform will encourage BT Group engineers to use the right model for the right use case, at the right price, as it supports per-use case budget tracking. A consolidated platform reduces duplication of effort and resources, as BT Group scales the adoption of generative AI. Application programming interfaces (APIs), security configuration and infrastructure management, can all be managed centrally, reducing the risk of error and the cost of maintaining separate LLMs for every use case. GenAI Gateway, deployed on AWS, is accessed via secure APIs, like all the components of BT Group’s modular digital architecture. GenAI Gateway uses Amazon Bedrock, a fully managed service that offers a choice of high-performing foundation models from leading AI companies like AI21 Labs, Anthropic, Cohere, Meta, Mistral AI, Stability AI, and Amazon through a single API; as well Amazon SageMaker, a fully managed service that brings together a broad set of tools to enable high-performance, low-cost machine learning for any use case.  The platform supports prompt security, chat history, FinOps billing per use case, enterprise search, as well as use of multiple corporate data sources. Central privacy controls include separate tenants for each use case, the use of Personal Identifiable Information filters, the location of the data within the UK and the isolation of trained models from each other, protecting data in line with Group policies and relevant regulation. Guardrails are built into the GenAI Gateway, limiting the risk of jailbreaks or toxic interactions, filtering out queries that go beyond the remit of specific applications – ensuring both performance and ethical guardrails are built-in by design.   Gen AI Gateway is one of the several key enablers we are deploying to enable BT Group as an AI-enabled enterprise, and we will also use our “data fabric” data management platform to help enforce governing policies for how data can be used, as well as to manage access control and data sovereignty restrictions. GenAI Gateway is live today with the first beta use cases. A trial in Openreach is summarising engineering notes on Ethernet and full fibre jobs, helping to simplify processes and boost productivity for its teams and Communications Provider customers. A second use case, supporting contract analysis for the Group’s Business, legal and procurement teams, is also live. Fabio Cerone, GM EMEA Telco at AWS, said: “The BT Group GenAI Gateway is showcasing how enterprises can effectively deploy generative AI at scale and speed. It’s been a brilliant, pioneering opportunity to collaborate and work backwards from the customer to provide a way to accelerate deployment of generative AI use cases into production with embedded security and compliance. The GenAI Gateway will trigger the flywheel effect in the adoption of generative AI, delivering quicker results for BT Group and its customers.” Deepika Adusumilli, Managing Director, Data & AI, BT Group’s Digital Unit said: “AI is helping us reimagine the future of our company. We believe that where our data is a constant, we need flexibility with our LLMs. GenAI Gateway allows us to tap into this powerful new set of technologies at scale, in a way that is safe, responsible, flexible and scalable, delivering the ambition we have for AI to unlock the human potential within BT Group, today and in the future.” Read the full article
