Are you just experimenting with GenAI, or already thinking of scaling it in your company? Come to the workshop by AWS to see and try the enterprise-grade solutions that will save you time, effort, and money no matter at which stage you are with GenAI. Mikhail Ishenin, Solutions Architect from the AWS for Games team, will describe AWS vision on GenAI, including data security, cost efficiency and partnership with the leaders of the open-source AI community.

Mikhail will dive deeper into three popular use-case for GenAI in Games:

1. Scalable, secure, and cost-efficient infrastructure pipeline for Stable Diffusion-based projects, including marketing assets creation and improvement, and ideation for artists working on game assets. AWS infrastructure for Stable Diffusion is easy to master, is performant and lets your artists share their LoRA’s, plugin’s and settings while keeping your data and IP secure. Your artists will always have access to most powerful resources, and you will only pay for what you use.
2. Support chat bots or in-game assistants and companions. AWS technology provides blocks to build the conversational agents working with any complexity of data underneath.
3. Data pipelines for internal business flows: getting answers to analytics, product owners, developers and everyone, taking them from the vast amounts of internal data and showing it in a human-readable form quickly.
