For years, software development has relied on a paradigm of predesigned User Interfaces. Designers meticulously craft interfaces based on...

Federated learning has emerged as a groundbreaking approach to train machine learning models on decentralized data residing on edge devices or servers. This approach ensures data privacy as the raw data never leaves its source. Instead, models are trained locally and only model updates are aggregated. Within this paradigm, two main branches exist: Horizontal Federated Learning (HFL)  and Vertical Federated Learning (VFL) . Understanding their differences is crucial for selec

In the high-stakes world of venture capital, disputes are inevitable. Differing visions for growth, management disagreements, and stalled...

The relentless march of artificial intelligence has ignited both excitement and trepidation. We're developing systems that can diagnose diseases, drive cars, and even generate art, prompting questions about the nature of consciousness and the potential for truly sentient AI. However, a fundamental philosophical problem lurks beneath the surface: qualia . This article will delve into the problem of qualia in AI, exploring its definition, implications, and the challenges it p

AI agents are rapidly transforming our world, promising increased efficiency, productivity, and even creativity. These software entities, designed to act autonomously to achieve specific goals, are popping up in various sectors – from customer service and healthcare to finance and logistics. While the potential benefits are undeniable, the increasing reliance on AI agents also brings forth a critical issue: the ironies of automation. The "ironies of automation," a term coin

Family offices , increasingly sophisticated in their investment strategies, are turning to direct investments to achieve higher returns,...

In AI research, as in life, sometimes the most effective path to a desired outcome isn't a direct one. This is the essence of obliquity , a concept popularized by John Kay in his book "Obliquity: Why Our Goals Are Best Achieved Indirectly." It suggests that when faced with complex, nonlinear problems , pursuing our goals head-on can often be counterproductive, while approaching them indirectly, with a broader perspective and focusing on related activities, can yield surprisi

The pursuit of Artificial Intelligence has largely been defined by mirroring and replicating human cognitive capabilities . However, a burgeoning area of research is challenging this anthropocentric paradigm by looking beyond the human mind and delving into the rich tapestry of non-human intelligence found in the natural world. This exploration promises to not only broaden our understanding of intelligence itself but also inspire novel and potentially more robust AI archite
