Exploring Agentic AI: Ethics, Quantum Computing, and the Future of AI - AI Friday Podcast
Welcome to AI Friday! In this week’s episode, we're diving deep into the fascinating and sometimes controversial world of agentic AI. What does it mean for AI to be able to make autonomous decisions? How could this impact various fields? What are the implications for AI ethics and the potential for AI to show both helpful and malevolent behaviors? Our discussion includes information about how AI systems work together, red teaming, and the latest advances in quantum computing. These are all aimed at making AI systems smarter. We also touch on the importance of community feedback, the role of ethical considerations in AI development, and the intriguing possibilities that lie ahead. Join AubreyKingF5 and Byron_McNaught as we host an engaging conversation with a panel of experts including kenarora, ChuckHerrin , Scheff , and Joel_Moses .

Agentic RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) enhances the capabilities of a GenAI chatbot by integrating dynamic knowledge retrieval into its conversational abilities, making it more context-aware and accurate. In this demo, I will demonstrate an autonomous decision-making GenAI chatbot utilizing Agentic RAG. I will explore what Agentic RAG is and why it's crucial in today's AI landscape. I will also discuss how organizations can leverage GPUaaS (GPU as a Service) or AI Factory providers to accelerate their AI strategy. F5 platform provides robust security features that protect sensitive data while ensuring high availability and performance. They optimize the chatbot by streamlining traffic management and reducing latency, ensuring smooth interactions even during high demand. This integration ensures the GenAI chatbot is not only smart but also reliable and secure for enterprise use.Mitigate OWASP LLM Security Risk: Sensitive Information Disclosure Using F5 NGINX App Protect
This short WAF security article covered the critical security gaps present in current generative AI applications, emphasizing the urgent need for robust protection measures in LLM design deployments. Finally we also demonstrated how F5 Nginx App Protect v5 offers an effective solution to mitigate the OWASP LLM Top 10 risks.How to Prepare Your Network Infrastructure to Add HPC Clusters for AI to Your Data Center
HPC AI clusters are getting deployed as highly-engineered 'lego blocks' which are opaque to established data center operations and standards. By taking advantage of established Kubernetes based networking solutions that provide high-speed intelligent networking, you can save yourself from expensive cost overruns, data center re-auditing, and delays. By using Kubernetes based solutions which take advantage of the high-speed networking solutions already required by HP AI deployments, you further optimize your investment in AI.
