In the movie Oppenheimer, Niels Bohr challenges the physicist early in his career, comparing algebra to sheet music and emphasizing the importance of being able to “hear” the music instead of just reading the notes. This analogy raises an interesting point about how individuals perceive and interact with computational processes in their everyday lives. Robert

When it comes to the capabilities of Large Language Models (LLMs), they are often likened to System 1 thinking, which is fast, intuitive, and automatic. System 1 thinking is what allows us to quickly recognize patterns, make snap judgments, and understand familiar symbols. On the other hand, System 2 thinking is slow, deliberate, and analytical.
In a recent discussion at VentureBeat’s Transform 2024 event, Elastic CEO Ash Kulkarni and DocuSign CPO Dmitri Krakovsky shed light on the transformative power of generative AI in enterprise search and contract management. The conversation underscored the increasing significance of AI-driven search capabilities for businesses grappling with vast data repositories and complex contractual relationships. Elastic
Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) has revolutionized the way large language models (LLMs) are scaled, offering a more efficient solution to handling computational costs. However, traditional MoE architectures have faced limitations when it comes to accommodating a large number of experts. This constraint has restricted the scalability of MoE models, hindering their ability to fully leverage the benefits
The rise of generative artificial intelligence technology has been impossible to ignore in recent years. AI-generated summaries, prompts for AI tools, and the widespread use of large language models have become common in online interactions. OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT in 2022 marked a turning point, sparking an obsession with generative AI in Silicon Valley and
Khanmigo, a platform created by Khan Academy, takes a unique approach to assisting students with their questions. Instead of providing direct answers, it prompts students to think critically by asking them questions and guiding them towards finding the solution themselves. According to DiCerbo, Khanmigo’s role is to help students who may be stuck on a
In the fast-paced world of the internet, misinformation and disinformation can spread like wildfire. A recent incident involving a piece of Russian disinformation about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s wife purchasing a Bugatti car with American aid money is a clear example of how quickly false narratives can travel across the web. What started as a
In a world where the landscape of warfare is evolving rapidly, the future of US special operations forces is being redefined by the concept of the hyper-enabled operator (HEO). Gone are the days of bulky tactical gear and powered armor straight out of a science fiction novel. Instead, the focus is on creating operators who
The issue of art theft in the digital age is a pervasive problem that many artists face on a day-to-day basis. Artists pour their creativity, time, and effort into their work, only to have it stolen and profited on by others without any credit or compensation. This not only leads to a loss of income
The realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI) underwent a monumental shift in November 2022, transitioning from a background technology to a forefront disruptor. This shift has propelled us into the era of generative AI, where consumers are embracing the technology and organizations are making significant investments. Gen AI has the potential to revolutionize how businesses operate
