This post offers some lightweight education. “As we’ve been researching the AI landscape & how to build applications, a few design patterns are emerging for AI products. These design patterns are simple mental models. They help us understand how builders […]
Rob May predicts that bots will become the default collectors of information, which could suck for us because they never tire and have no shame. Will we be inundated with non-stop requests to benefit the AI models more than ourselves? ~ learn […]
“Small-language models are coming. The consensus within the data ecosystem is that many will start with more expensive large-language models which are robust to many types of questions, but perhaps too expensive to run for most applications at scale.” ~ learn more
“Advances in AI and satellite imagery allowed researchers to create the clearest picture yet of human activity at sea, revealing clandestine fishing activity and a boom in offshore energy development.” ~ learn more
There’s a video demo. It’s pretty cool. “In a world-first, researchers from the GrapheneX-UTS Human-centric Artificial Intelligence Centre at the University of Technology Sydney (UTS) have developed a portable, non-invasive system that can decode silent thoughts and turn them into […]
A report from Rock Health, making use of their ‘maturity curve’ model that tech themes follow from nascent to mature. At maturity it should be clear whether a theme is a fad, a niche, or new table stakes. They, “selected […]
This blows my mind. I double-checked the math and think it’s accurate. The average power needed to generate one image from text is equivalent to an entire cell phone battery. A new paper published by researchers from Hugging Face and […]
Researchers mapped each “neuron” of their AI system to a physical location, creating a constraint found in physical brains. “When the system was asked to perform the task under these constraints, it used some of the same tricks used by […]
“Canadian medical researchers trained the machine-learning AI to recognise 14 vocal differences in the voice of someone with type 2 diabetes compared to someone without diabetes. The auditory features that the AI focussed on included slight changes in pitch and […]
