Our Mission...

We believe in repeatable and scaleable architectures represent the highest quality and best ROI for our practice. This extends to all branches of architecture, but especially to AI. Our mission is to bring forth AI architectures which can be implemented by organizations of all sizes, adaptable to their specific needs, and help them maintain a competitive as well as legally and ethically step ahead of the competition.

Our Vision

Repeatability

AI should not be treated as a "build it and forget it" solution. Architectures in AI are a holistic fusion between what an organization does well, and how probabilistic technical solutions can benefit their end users and customers. We have accomplished our vision if organizations of all sizes and various industries are able to adapt the same frameworks to their particular needs successfully.

Scalability

Organizations should be able to build off of small, iterative successes in AI architectures with more projects that fit an unfilled niche. Only if these architectures are seen as a sustainable and intrinsic advantage to the Enterprise Architecture will their true potential be realized.

Our Events

February 2025 AI Working Group

We will be discussing RAGs, specifically how to "unlearn" data from a RAG. This could be due to compliance issues or a right to forget request under GDPR. RAGs are typically "learn once, always remember" models, so the technique of unlearning is relatively novel and requires more maturity within the broader RAG community.

Scheduled for 20 February, 2025 at 12 PM Pacific.

January 2025 AI Working Group

Agentic AI was the primary focus of the talk. We covered different frameworks for Agentic AI adoption, as well as pitfalls that we learned from Microservices.

December 2024 AI Working Group

We discussed GenAI for code completion tooling, both pros as well as cons. Members from the sustainability board joined in to give their take on the benefits of AI within the context of long term carbon emission goals. We also talked about practical implementations of RAGs.

We are building the worlds largest community of AI Architecture Contributors to create the most repeatable results in AI Value. 


Trainging and Certification

Become an AI architect and join the global AI architecture leaders. The course is based completely on the learning in AI Architectures.

Our CAF Working Group

AI Architecture Framework

There is unfortunately no one size fits all approach to implementing AI within a small, medium, or large organization. That said, we as architects take a broad ranging view of what works, what doesn't work, and how to transliterate what does work into a repeatable system and pattern. To that end, we are focused on developing an AI Architecture Framework that can scale with the needs, size, and complexity of the organizations for which architects that implement the framework at their unique organizations.

Our CAF (Chief Architect Forum) AI Working Group meets monthly to discuss considerations and implications of what AI implementation truly means as a Chief Architect. This then feeds into the monthly AI Focus Group discussions that are open to individuals of all skill levels and interests to validate, vet, and verify against real world examples and use cases.

Rather than being a collection of talking heads that stop short of actual real world advice, our AI Working and Focus groups exist only to provide tangible takeaways that guide board, EA, and AppDev discussions around the world.

Our Public Working Groups

Community Voices

We firmly believe that successful architecture are not built in ivory towers but as a community driven initiative. With AI architecture touching so many different disciplines, including sustainability, cloud native, legal/ethical, etc. it is simply not feasible for a single type of individual to have all of the knowledge and skills necessary to develop successful AI architectures.

To that end we have a public AI Architecture working group to discuss issues and solutions, share experiences as well as setbacks, and provide insights to the rest of the community as to what works and what doesn't.
