How We Have Made AI Simple & Fast for IBM Power

Wednesday May 21, 2025 1:45pm - 2:45pm PDT

Grand Ballroom

The top priorities of IBM Power clients when integrating AI capabilities into their solutions are simplicity and performance. Both properties have driven the AI with IBM Power strategy since the past two years and have now led to significant innovation with products such as IBM Spyre Accelerator for Power, Code Assistant for IBM i, and more.

This session gives an overview of these innovations in light of the overall strategy and outlines the roadmap for what's next. The session covers concrete customer examples and live demonstrations of typical fit-for-purpose AI use cases on IBM Power, often targeting Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Enterprise Content Management (ECM) systems. An example are RAG architectures for digital assistants interacting with such systems, driven by large language models such as IBM/Granite & Meta/Llama.

Learning Objectives:
- Understand the AI with IBM Power strategy
- Get informed about upcoming capabilities
- Learn how AI can help in typical IBM Power contexts (ITOps & Dev, ERP & ECM systems, specific focus industries) based on references, examples, and demos
- Q&A for anything about AI with Power
