Making AI Practical and Practicable
Machine learning, combinatorial optimization, computer vision, LLMs, anything that’s been understood to be AI from 1950 to now.
The AI gold rush has created a weird kind of pressure. If you’re not chasing the trend, you’re behind. If you ask hard questions, you’re a stick in the mud. If you jump in too fast? You might end up with a flashy prototype and no plan to support it.…
Let me put a flag in the sand. The documents that come out of research aren’t the value. The value is in building expertise in the researcher.
We’ve been here before. Several times. This is not to say today’s breakthroughs aren’t impressive, they are, but calm the hell down. This scale of breakthrough isn’t unprecedented, even in my lifetime.
Lately, we’ve been fielding a lot of interest in custom Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) systems. And honestly, it’s easy to see why. RAG systems are incredibly flexible tools for injecting up-to-date, domain-specific knowledge into AI responses for answering questions, generating content, analyzing internal data, or any other task that’s primarily completed by producing an artifact.
This post originally appeared on SEP’s Blog Artificial Intelligence is everywhere these days: headlines, investor decks, your last team meeting, and dinner conversations. Just because AI is hot doesn’t mean it’s well understood. Too often, people reach for AI like it’s duct tape: a fix-all solution for any digital dilemma.…
Last year, AI code gen tools made a huge splash into the software development world. Again. Someone had the bright idea that “Hey, source code is text. Maybe we can generate that!”. What started as one big offering has grown to dozens of tools offering to write our code for…
The world is incredibly excited about AI. We’re told that it can make our employees super human and solve our business problems over night. People selling a service have a tendency to exaggerate its quality and impact. Most of us aren’t AI experts, and that makes it hard to tell…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly changing the way businesses operate. The first thing most people think of when they think of AI is automation. Automation is one of the most significant ways AI is being used in business. Specifically, the automation of tedious work. Tedious tasks are repetitive, time-consuming, and…
In today’s data-driven world, businesses are increasingly relying on artificial intelligence (AI). They us it to make decisions, automate tasks, and improve customer experiences. However, the quality of the data AI uses determines its efficacy. “Garbage in, garbage,” out as the old saying goes. What is AI Data Quality? Data…
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming all industries. Aviation is no different, except that it has been an early adopter. AI planning and scheduling being one of the most promising applications. AI can be used to automate tasks, optimize schedules, and improve efficiency in a variety of ways. A Birds-eye…
