Enterprise Guide for Implementing Generative AI and Agentic AI - by Shakuntala Gupta Edward & Rahul Bhattacharya & Vikas Sinha (Paperback)

Book Synopsis

Generative AI and Agentic AI together are revolutionizing the technology landscape, with profound and far-reaching impacts across industries. Organizations are increasingly adopting these technologies to drive innovation, enhance unstructured content management, and improve problem-solving capabilities. With Agentic AI, enterprises are moving towards the development of intelligent systems that can plan, reason, and act with autonomy. While early proof-of-concepts (POCs) demonstrated the potential of these technologies, the current shift is toward responsible and scalable production implementations that leverage both generative and agentic capabilities.
This book begins by guiding you through the technological evolution of AI, from early machine learning to today's large language models (LLMs) and agentic systems. It then explores a wide range of use cases across industries, highlighting how LLMs can support decision-making, and how Agentic AI enables dynamic, collaborative systems that act with autonomy and intent. This is followed by Design Patterns across the lifecycle of AI solution development, deployment and monitoring. Readers will then gain insights into the methodologies for developing and deploying Generative and Agentic AI solutions at an enterprise level. A featured implementation demonstrates how Agentic AI can be effectively put into action.
The book also introduces essential concepts such as MLOps, LLMOps, and Responsible AI principles which are critical for transitioning the AI solutions from experimentation to production. These principles ensure that AI deployments are scalable, secure, ethical and compliant. The book concludes with key takeaways and best practices for developing, evaluating, deploying and scaling AI applications responsibly and effectively within enterprise settings.

You Will:

• Understand key design patterns to develop, deploy and monitor a Generative AI solution effectively.
• Learn how to develop and implement a production-ready Agentic AI use case.
• Discover best practices for building scalable, secure, and enterprise-grade AI solutions.
• Understand how to assess and mitigate risks using Responsible AI principles and LLMOps best practices.

This book is for: Enterprise Software Engineers and Architects

From the Back Cover

Generative AI is a growing trend, and its impact is profound and widespread across industries. Organizations are increasingly using it to drive innovations and enhance their problem-solving capabilities. While proof-of-concepts (POCs) showcase the potential of this technology in driving creative advancements, the latest trend shows a movement from POCs to hardened and responsible production implementation of the technology.

The technology is not only empowering organisations but also laying the foundation for the next-gen users, enabling them to co-work with the technology. This book begins with a thorough introduction to artificial intelligence, tracing its development from early machine learning models to the sophisticated large language models (LLMs) of today. Next, it emphasizes how AI transforms industries by covering possible use cases across business functions. It covers the role of LLMs as a decision-makers, demonstrating their potential to go beyond being mere assistants.

The book covers Gen AI development and deployment methodologies for enterprises. It introduces the readers to the importance of following MLOps, LLMOps, and responsible AI principles while implementing Gen AI solutions for an enterprise. It is the implementation of these principles which expedites the movement of the solution from the POC stage to the production stage. Finally, the book concludes with a summary of key insights, best practices for deploying and scaling generative AI within enterprises, and a glimpse into future trends and recommendations for staying ahead in the AI-driven business landscape.

You Will:

Learn how to develop and implement production ready GenAI use case. Discover best practices for developing an GenAI solutions, which supports scalable, secure, and production-ready deployments. Understand how to assess and mitigate risks associated with AI, focusing on responsible AI principles and frameworks for ensuring ethical and compliant AI solutions.
