When I initially got the itch to purchase a ‘beginner’ level drone a few months back, I didn’t really know why I wanted it. I didn’t want to pay big bucks because odds were I’d lose it, crash it or simply not appreciate it so I bought a sub $100 DJI ‘...

“Without this fungal web my tree would not exist. Without similar fungal webs no plant would exist anywhere. All life on land, including my own, depended on these networks.” ― Merlin Sheldrake, Entangled Life: How Fungi Make Our Worlds, Change Our Minds & Shape Our Futur...

Like the mythical sirens that enchanted ancient mariners, the promise of artificial intelligence seduces modern executives with visions of effortless optimization and predictions of untold riches. Yet, much like those wayward sailors of lore, leaders entranced by AI’s potential may steer their...

Deep neural networks (DNNs) have profoundly transformed the landscape of machine learning, often becoming synonymous with the broader fields of artificial intelligence and machine learning. Yet, their rise would have been unimaginable without their partner-in-crime: stochastic gradient descent (SGD)...

Introduction In the ever-evolving landscape of technology, one phenomenon stands out as a beacon of innovation and transformation: Artificial Intelligence (AI). From its inception as a concept in science fiction to its omnipresence in our daily lives, AI has not only revolutionized industries but h...

For the past year, I’ve been kicking around the idea of writing a book. Except that I — despite my decision science background — can’t seem to decide whether to write the damned thing and, if I do, whether the book should be about decision-making&n...

As I’ve gone throughout the world discussing this topic, I’m frequently asked, “What will the future hold for humans and AI?” This is a critical question at this juncture in history. Some feel we are in the midst of an “AI bubble” that will eventually burst or ...

Introduction In the rapidly evolving world of technology, few innovations have captured the imagination quite like Artificial Intelligence (AI). From its early theoretical foundations to its present-day applications, AI has not only transformed industries but has also sparked discussions about it...

What does the term ‘Intelligence’ originally stand for in Business Intelligence. Does it mean as used in Artificial Intelligence or as used in Intelligence Agency? In other words, does ‘Business Intelligence’ mean: Acting smart &...

Modern organizations rely heavily on business intelligence (BI) tools to consolidate and analyze data. However, an overdependence on manual analysis of consolidated datasets can obscure valuable insights and prevent timely action. Here are some of the major pitfalls of traditional BI approache...

These days, in the sphere of public debate, there’s a rule I try to remember. Namely, that if I come across the same idea twice in a week, it’s probably a bad idea. And if I see it a third time, it’s surely a terrible one. Ideas that are easily repeated are too simple to do justice...

In the dynamic realm of technological advancements, artificial intelligence (AI) stands as a beacon of transformative potential. As we stand on the cusp of a new AI era, it’s imperative to delve deeper into the nuances of this technology, its trajectory, and its multif...

Weoften refer to a ship as “she”, even trains and sometimes our cars. It’s not uncommon in the manufacturing industry for workers to name large pieces of equipment. Research into voice assistants like Alexa and Siri noted that some people will treat their engagement with a range of...

Economic choices are acts of creativity. They encode points of view about what is best for the buyer or seller. New options, and new information about existing options, change each individual’s choices. This is true even in non-capitalist economies, as no central committee can control indiv...

Intro: The Evolution of Intelligence Metrics Allow me to guide you through an enlightening journey. Gone are the days when IQ tests were the definitive measure of human intelligence. In today’s interconnected and emotionally complex world, Emotional Intelligence (EQ) is emerging as the new ...

People are talking more and more about data dignity and collaborative intelligence–especially since AI really took off. But the discussion often revolves around these concepts with consumers in mind–which, of course, is crucial. But people aren’t always ‘just’ consumers...

Burnout is one of the top trends that will shape the workplace this year, according to a recent story by CNBC. This proliferation is especially concerning in a tight labor market. Unemployment remains low, employers are experiencing increasing attrition, and the war on talent continues to wage ...

Have you experienced seeing a really smart colleague promoted to a leader only to fail because of an inability to connect with people, lack of empathy and struggles with listening skills? Compare this to an individual with good (not excellent) technical skills and exceptional Emotional Intelligen...

There’s no shortage of ideas to explore and things to write about. In the conversation below, ChatGPT and I “listen” to some songs by The Boland Underground. Check them out on Spotify, YouTube, YouTube Music, Pandora, iHeart and Amazon. ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and automation have become prominent and transformative forces in today’s world, touching nearly every aspect of our lives. From virtual personal assistants to self-driving cars, these technologies hold the promise of making our lives more efficient and convenient....

An assumption is often made that India’s open defecation problem was rooted in a lack of hygiene that sprang from a general backwardness emanating from Hindu texts. Nothing can be more preposterous than this. Indians inferred the linkage between personal hygiene and health thousands of year...

Preface: The following is an exercise in imagining a positive vision for artificial intelligence systems over the next years to decades. As a practicing Buddhist, this vision is unsurprisingly one heavily inspired by that tradition. It is also greatly indebted to the wonderful paper “Biology, ...

The Route to Data-Driven Decisions The first truth about Big Data in trucking is that it’s everywhere. Every electronic logging device (ELD), each GPS tracker, all the sensors monitoring truck health, and every digital transaction related to logistics are constant streams feeding into the e...

Our body consists of more than 28 trillion cells and every cell has DNA that is at least a meter long. Our genes are the blueprint of our body: They contain information about hundreds of proteins and RNA. So it is of no wonder that they might also influence intelligence, as a study on...

Intelligence is one’s ability to understand and use information to solve problems, make decisions, and learn from personal experiences. It involves cognitive and emotional skills that allow one to perceive the world through critical thinking and constant evaluation, which can help one achieve ...

One such sign is the tendency for divergent thinking, which is the ability to generate a wide variety of possible solutions to a single problem. While most people might approach a challenge in a linear, straightforward manner, those with high intelligence often explore unconventional routes, even if...

In a dozen interviews over the past week, I was repeatedly asked to define intelligence. My response was that intelligence represents the ability to process and communicate information for the pursuit of goals. The more complex the information is, the more intelligent its carrier is. A genius is som...

There is an apparent intelligence-gathering capability of UAPs, as they appear to monitor the proliferation, movement, and storage of nuclear materials and ICBM sites. Testimonials from at least 150 US servicemen have established that ICBMs have been deactivated at nuclear weapon...

Several apocalyptic German documents have been published as of recently, which predict that Russia and NATO will be at war by the year of 2025. This is not a theory, it is based on the information of what Germany has retrieved from Russia. I would like to point out, that this is nothi...
