I’m Aman, a Google Cloud Platform trainer at Koenig Solutions, where we specialize in
delivering world-class IT training for professionals and organizations across the globe. Our
mission is to make high-quality IT education accessible, practical, and aligned with real-world
goals.
My journey into this space started with a strong foundation—I completed my undergraduate
studies from IIT Roorkee, where I developed a deep interest in solving real-world problems
through technology. I’ve also had an opportunity to train “State of the Art” Models including
Google Gemini, Open AI’s Chatgpt and Amazon Olympus. This gave me deep insights into how
large-scale model training actually works. Over time, my interest in technology evolved into a
passion for enabling others to do the same, especially those who may not come from a
traditional cloud computing background.
First things first: What is Generative AI? Simply put, Generative AI is a subset of artificial
intelligence that creates new, original content—text, images, code, even music—based on
patterns it learns from training data.
Why does this matter? Because Generative AI is poised to change how we work, learn, shop,
play, and (occasionally) argue with our smart devices. Consider these stats: it’s estimated
that GenAI could add $4.4 trillion per year to global GDP and save up to 70% of our time on
many tasks. In other words, it’s like having a 24/7 assistant that never sleeps.
[12:00 – 22:00] Section 2: Industry Applications
(Slide 3: Industry Applications)
Speaker:
Now that we’ve covered the basics, let’s look at how industries are already using Generative
AI to shake things up. And trust me, it’s not just for tech giants—small startups and mom-and-
pop shops are getting in on this revolution, too.
1.
2. Finance & Law
○ DoNotPay: The “Robot Lawyer” that fights parking tickets, cancels subscriptions,
and even sues the government on your behalf. Their Generative AI chatbots draft
legal documents, making the law accessible to everyone (as long as you don’t
mind being bossed around by a bot).
3. Healthcare
○ Babylon Health: Using AI for triage and virtual consultations. Patients describe
symptoms to a chatbot, which then suggests possible conditions or recommends
seeing a doctor.
○
4. Education
○ Khan Academy (Khanmigo AI Tutor): An AI tutor that can answer questions,
provide hints, and customize lesson plans. Students get real-time feedback
without waiting for office hours (or questioning why they paid tuition for all this).
○ Quizlet: Their smart learning tools generate practice tests and flashcards
automatically, helping students study more efficiently.
5. Entertainment
○ AIVA (AI-composed music): Want a new soundtrack for your workout? AIVA
composes original songs in minutes.
○ Lil Miquela: A virtual influencer, complete with an Instagram account and
“personal life.” It’s weird to think that your favorite influencer might literally not
exist.
These are just a few highlights. Every industry—from manufacturing to marketing—is finding
creative ways to deploy Generative AI. By automating content creation, personalization, and
even entire workflows, companies are saving time, money, and sanity.
[22:00 – 32:00] Section 3: Business Impact & Hyper-Personalization
(Slide 4: Business Impacts and Personalization & Slide 5: Most Useful Generative AIs)
Speaker:
Let’s shift gears and talk about the direct business impacts of Generative AI, especially
around hyper-personalization.
AI-Generated Experiences & Services
○ Aragon AI: Need a professional headshot but can’t afford a photographer?
Aragon AI takes your selfie and generates a high-quality, studio-grade headshot.
○ Be My Eyes: An app for the visually impaired—except now it’s enhanced with AI.
Users point their camera at something, and the AI describes it. It’s like having a
friend with perfect vision.
2. Workplace Productivity
○ Walmart Internal Tools: Their AI models forecast inventory needs, optimize
shelf layouts, and even generate product descriptions. If you thought “out of
stock” was annoying when it happened with one item, imagine it across
thousands of SKUs. AI helps prevent that.
○ Meta AI Tools: Chatbots inside messaging apps that can summarize threads,
draft responses, and even suggest emojis (yes, emojis matter). Perfect for when
you’re too tired to craft the perfect comeback.
○ Amazon CodeWhisperer: An AI coding assistant that suggests entire functions
based on comments. It’s like pair programming with a genie—you say, “Write me
a function that parses CSVs,” and voilà! But remember: always review AI-
generated code.
3. Hyper-Personalization Examples
○ Prose: Custom skincare products formulated by AI based on your skin type,
environmental factors
○ Stitch Fix: Stitch Fix uses AI-powered personalization to curate clothing boxes.
Their models analyze your style preferences and send you outfits—saving you
from that tragic “return pile” situation.
4. Most Useful Generative AI Tools
○ Grammarly: AI that checks grammar, style, clarity, and even tone. It’s like having
a demanding English teacher in your pocket—minus the red pen.
○ Notion AI: Built into Notion for note-taking, summarization, and task
management. Great for turning messy notes into coherent documentation.
○ GitHub Copilot: Works inside your IDE to suggest code snippets, complete
functions, and even explain lines of code. If your codebase were a novel, Copilot
would be the helpful editor with a red pen (minus the terrifying red ink).
○ Krisp AI: Removes background noise from calls so you don’t have to apologize
for your dog barking or the neighbor’s lawnmower.
○ Gamma: An AI-powered presentation builder that turns bullet points into fully-
designed slides. It’s like having a design intern who never sleeps.
○ NotebookLM (Google): Organizes research into an interactive notebook—
summarizing papers, answering questions, and helping you brainstorm. If you’ve
ever spent hours hunting through PDFs, this tool is your new best friend.
○ Manus AI: A general AI agent that can run multi-step tasks autonomously—like
booking flights, scheduling meetings, and drafting emails. Perfect if you’d rather
spend time perfecting your “easy-to-edit” voice memos than juggling logistics.
All of these examples show that Generative AI isn’t just a theoretical toy. It’s a tool that’s already
integrated into thousands of workflows.
[42:00 – 50:00] Section 5: Risks & Challenges
(Slide 6: Risk and Challenges)
Speaker:
Now, before we all rush off and hand our jobs to AI, let’s talk about some risks and
challenges. Because, yes, AI is cool, but it’s not a magical unicorn that poops dollar bills.
1. Misinformation & Deepfakes
○ Example: “This Person Does Not Exist”: Websites generate hyper-realistic
faces of people who don’t exist.
○ Consequence: Trust erosion. If we can’t tell what’s real, everything becomes
suspect.
2. Bias & Explainability
○ Brookings Report on Algorithmic Fairness: Models learn from historical data,
and if that data contains biases (race, gender, socioeconomic), the AI
perpetuates them. For example, if an AI was trained on resumes mostly from a
specific demographic, it might unconsciously favor that group in hiring
suggestions.
○ Explainability Gap: Many Generative AI models are “black boxes.” We see the
outputs, but we don’t always know why or how it arrived there. That’s a problem
when the stakes are high—like in loan approvals or medical advice.
3. Copyright & Data Privacy
○ GitHub Copilot Concerns: Copilot was trained on public code repositories.
Some worry it could regurgitate licensed code verbatim, violating copyright. This
raises questions: If AI-generated code matches an open-source license, do we
need to credit the original? Who’s responsible?
○ Privacy: If your company uses proprietary data to fine-tune a model, you must
ensure the AI doesn’t unintentionally leak sensitive information.
4. Environmental Impact
○ Training large language models consumes massive amounts of energy.
Estimates suggest that training a single big model can emit as much carbon as
five cars over their lifetimes. So if you love the planet, think about:
■ Model Efficiency: Use smaller models when possible.
■ Batch Processing: Schedule training jobs during off-peak energy hours
or use renewable energy sources.
5. Human Dependency & Skill Erosion
○ If AI writes all your code, edits all your documents, and answers all your emails,
what happens to your own skills? There’s a risk of over-reliance—particularly for
younger professionals entering the workforce.
○ Mitigation: Treat AI as a collaborator, not a crutch. Always review, always learn
