GenAI is fundamentally different from traditional AI, and that distinction has massive implications for your data pipeline. Does Generative AI require a completely new data strategy? In this essential discussion, Dan Kasun, ISV Partner Sales Leader for Global Financial Services at Amazon Web Services (AWS), answers the crucial question about data infrastructure. He breaks down the difference between traditional AI, which relies on curated, structured data, and GenAI, which thrives on all data, including unstructured documents. Dan explains why Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture is the non-negotiable data layer for GenAI deployments in finance. Learn how to leverage your existing data practices—like governance and access control—to set your firm up for success in both predictive and generative AI without starting from scratch.
