Generative AI for Data Insights on SAP BTP

Introduction

In this course, we will learn about the benefits of cloud computing and Generative AI and provide topics for practical development. As an example of how to run such software, in this course, we use the Business Technology Platform (BTP) for deployment and SAP Cloud Application Programming Model (CAP, https://cap.cloud.sap/docs/). The course is offered by SAP.

Generative AI is a branch of artificial intelligence focused on creating new data or content that resembles something it has been trained on. Unlike traditional AI systems that are designed for specific tasks, generative AI models learn patterns from a dataset and then generate new content based on those patterns. This content can take various forms, such as images, text, music, videos or even data analysis.

The terms cloud and cloud computing have been around for years. In simple terms, a cloud describes a network of systems that are operated elsewhere. Usually, a cloud is used to store data, whereby the structure and basic functionality of the underlying systems do not play a role. Cloud computing describes the use of the cloud infrastructure for storage and computing power to perform complex tasks such as building and using Generative AI models.
