Shifting Perspectives. Unveiling Futures.
(Cover photo by @josephfcox) The topic of AI-generated fake IDs has been covered by various news outlets and tech websites, highlighting a concerning trend in digital fraud and identity theft. A notable platform involved in this practice is “OnlyFake,” which is reported to utilize artificial intelligence, specifically neural networks, to create highly realistic fake IDs….
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence (AI), the debate around open-sourcing technology and code is more pertinent than ever. As technologist with over 30 years in the industry, I’ve observed firsthand the transformative potential of open source in democratizing technology, fostering innovation, and accelerating development. However, this approach as it relates to AI…
In the span of the last half-century, the manner in which we interact with technology has undergone a remarkable transformation. From the early days of room-sized computers operated by rows of switches and punch cards, to the sleek, touch-screen devices that fit snugly into our pockets, each leap forward has brought technology closer to becoming…
In the current business milieu, data is often touted as the new oil, a critical commodity driving organizational success. However, as we gaze into the future, a paradigm shift is on the horizon: the transition from data as a primary asset to the commoditization of knowledge. This essay explores this impending shift, contrasting the current…
In the realm of science and technology, few concepts are as simultaneously exhilarating and daunting as the Singularity. This term, popularized by futurist Ray Kurzweil, refers to a point in time when artificial intelligence (AI) will surpass human intelligence, fundamentally transforming civilization. As we stand on the cusp of unprecedented technological advancements, it is crucial…
A particularly insidious form of prompt injection involves the concept of “sleeper agent” Large Language Models (LLMs). This concept refers to the potential for certain inputs or “trigger phrases” to be embedded within AI models during their training phase or through carefully crafted prompts post-deployment. These triggers lie dormant until activated by specific inputs at…
In the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence, generative AI systems like language models and image generators have opened new frontiers in creativity, automation, and human-computer interaction. However, as these systems become more integrated into our daily lives and business operations, they also introduce new vulnerabilities, one of which is the phenomenon known as “prompt…
In the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, two groundbreaking advancements stand out for their potential to redefine the future of business operations: Large Language Models (LLMs) and Large Action Models (LAMs). LLMs, exemplified by models like GPT (Generative Pre-trained Transformer), have revolutionized natural language understanding and generation, enabling machines to interpret, respond to, and…
In today’s fast-paced technological landscape, a groundbreaking concept is emerging: Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Unlike the specialized AI tools currently in use, AGI promises a revolution in how machines think and interact with the world, closely mirroring human intelligence. This essay demystifies AGI for business professionals, outlining its nature, development process, recognition criteria, and its…
