Syensqo.AI leverages Azure OpenAI Service to develop SyGPT chatbot in record time

Syensqo.AI, a division of the Belgian science and technology leader Syensqo, has developed SyGPT, an advanced AI chatbot using Azure OpenAI Service.

Generative AI uses deep learning to create new content in response to natural language prompts. It can also generate text, images, music, and code.

There are several types of AI, each designed for different purposes:
Traditional AI - Automates specific tasks using predefined rules and algorithms, often used in manufacturing and data processing.
Predictive AI - Analyzes historical data to forecast future outcomes, commonly used in finance, healthcare, and marketing.
Conversational AI - Powers chatbots and virtual assistants to facilitate natural language interactions, generating human-like responses.

Generative AI is different because it creates content rather than simply analyzing or predicting based on existing data.

Visit Microsoft’s Trust Center Learn about trustworthy AI
Implementing generative AI comes with several considerations, including data security, biases, misinformation, and regulatory compliance. Ensuring the security of sensitive data and managing potential biases in AI-generated content are critical concerns—in addition to challenges related to transparency, accountability, and the potential misuse of AI technologies. Microsoft’s strategy paper, Minimize Risk and Reap the Benefits of AI, provides a comprehensive guide to navigating the challenges and opportunities of using generative AI.

Explore Responsible AI principles Visit Microsoft Trust center
Ensuring the accuracy and reliability of AI-generated content requires evaluating and monitoring the performance of generative AI models. Microsoft's Azure AI Foundry offers evaluation metrics that assess the quality, safety, and relevance of generated content. Techniques such as Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can also improve accuracy by using sourced data instead of relying solely on the model's training data.
