How To Keep Your Algos Fresh

Algorithms like ChatGPT may seem magical, but there’s no wand-waving involved—just careful training, regular updates, and lots of fine-tuning. This process keeps algorithms relevant, whether they’re recommending your next binge-worthy show or powering tools that make your work easier.

Mind The Gap: The Growing Disparity In AI Adoption

AI adoption is not just a technological challenge—it’s a societal one. The technology is still in its formative years, and how we encourage its uptake will determine whether it becomes a force for inclusion or division

How to choose the right LLM

Model routing is all about directing specific tasks to the most suitable LLM based on what the job requires. The benefits are real—optimising costs, speeding up response times, and getting better overall results. Think of it like having a well-stocked toolbox: instead of using an all-purpose tool that’s overkill for most tasks, you pick the perfect one for the job. It’s smarter, more efficient, and often a lot cheaper.

Are Blogs Still Relevant in the Age of AI?

In my years of creating blog sites for global brands, I've seen a shift in focus. It's no longer just about cramming in keywords for SEO. Today, it's about cultivating a distinct brand voice that your audience can relate to.

The Future Of Product Discovery is Generative AI

Given how much consumer behaviour is evolving, startups need to rethink their strategies too. Marketing tactics focused on search engines will now need to shift as people turn to conversational AI instead for discovering and researching products.

Mitigating Hallucinations in AI Systems

With thoughtful implementation, AI systems can provide useful information while minimising falsehoods. As users, we have an obligation to steer development in a direction that augments human knowledge rather than distorts it. If we build and deploy AI responsibly, it can empower people with greater wisdom and insight.

How Behavioural Economics Can Improve AI Decision-Making

Current AI models largely rely on algorithms and data, overlooking how “noisy” human behaviour can be. As Daniel Kahneman highlights in Thinking, Fast and Slow, we are prone to taking mental shortcuts and making instinctive gut reactions rather than purely logical choices. AI systems built without accounting for this can make recommendations that would seem bullish.

The Ethics of Hyper Scaling Productivity

when it comes to the job market, the impact of automation is more nuanced than it may first appear. As we increasingly lean into automated workflows, the nature of work is undeniably shifting. Job roles aren't just changing; some are disappearing altogether. For instance, data entry or basic customer query handling can now be effortlessly managed by AI. While this evolution might streamline operations and drive efficiency, it brings us face-to-face with the question of job displacement.

The Influencers Who Are Changing the Landscape with AI

The integration of AI among influencers is more than a trend; it's a major shift that has far-reaching implications. We must prepare for a future where AI shapes not just what products are offered, but also how we as a society consume them.

CAN AI SYSTEMS develop MUSCLE MEMORY?

So imagine an AI algorithm is like a little kid learning animals. Shown many pig pictures, the AI learns to recognise pigs.

But if not exposed to pigs for a while, it forgets their unique features. The AI can't retrieve memories from earlier like humans can because the knowledge is not deeply ingrained through true understanding. Instead, it relies on temporary pattern associations from its training data. Without regular re-exposure, those fragile links fade away.

AI’s Biased Neural Networks For The 5 Year Old Learner In Me 

The 'network' part comes from how it's all connected, much like how our brain has different parts that work together. In a neural network, there are layers of what we call 'neurons' (like the ones in our brain), and they all work together to help the neural network understand the data it's learning from. So, in essence, a neural network is like a mini-brain that learns from lots of examples to understand and recognise things, playing a significant role in how AI works.

Only 17% of data engineers are female

The lack of women in data engineering isn't just a matter of fairness, it's a matter of creating AI systems that are balanced, unbiased, and truly representative of the diverse world in which we live.

The underrepresentation of women in data engineering has far-reaching implications for the development of AI.

The sorting hat bias: Tidying UP Open source data for AI Startups

Imagine embarking on an AI startup journey and depending on open source data as if it were your own magical Sorting Hat. It's 'super smart', no question, but it's also 'super biased', tending to categorise data into its preferred 'houses'. Much like the hat that has a weakness for placing too many wizards in Gryffindor, our open source data tends to favour certain kinds of data over others. And there lies our predicament.
