Language models have come a long way in being able to answer simple questions efficiently. However, when it comes to handling complex tasks that require reasoning and planning, special prompting techniques are necessary. These techniques, also known as “System 2” techniques, push language models to generate intermediate steps towards problem-solving, enhancing their reasoning capabilities. While

In recent years, generative artificial intelligence has become a dominant force in the online world. From AI-generated summaries in Google search results to Meta’s AI tools on Facebook, the influence of AI is ubiquitous. This trend can be attributed to OpenAI’s release of ChatGPT in 2022, which sparked Silicon Valley’s obsession with generative AI. Fast
Khanmigo, an AI-powered tutor, takes a unique approach to helping students by guiding them to find solutions on their own. Instead of providing direct answers to questions, Khanmigo encourages students to think critically and come up with ideas to solve problems. This method aims to empower students and help them become more independent learners. According
In today’s digital age, the spread of misinformation and disinformation has become a major concern. A recent incident involving a piece of Russian disinformation about Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky’s wife buying a Bugatti car with American aid money illustrates the speed at which false information can travel across the internet. The disinformation in question originated
Artists often face an uphill battle when it comes to protecting their work from theft and infringement. For artist Jödicke, the frustration was real when he discovered that for every piece of art he took down online, ten more would pop up in its place. This sense of hopelessness almost led him to give up
In a world where warfare is constantly evolving, the United States special operations forces are at the forefront of facing complex threats head-on. The future of these elite troops is being shaped by the concept of the hyper-enabled operator (HEO), a program that aims to give warfighters a cognitive edge on the battlefield. This concept
The landscape of AI has transformed significantly since November 2022, shifting from a technology in the background to a frontstage disruptor. Today, we are already witnessing the next phase of generative AI, with consumers embracing the technology and organizations making substantial investments. Gen AI is poised to revolutionize how businesses operate and succeed, particularly in
The advent of large language models (LLMs) has revolutionized the way we approach writing, especially in the academic and scientific spheres. Researchers have recently conducted a study to evaluate the impact of LLMs on scientific writing by analyzing a vast number of abstracts published between 2010 and 2024. Their findings shed light on the extent
AI agents are a cutting-edge research direction with significant potential applications. However, a recent analysis by researchers at Princeton University has revealed critical shortcomings in current agent benchmarks and evaluation practices that hinder their real-world usefulness. One major issue highlighted by the researchers is the lack of cost control in agent evaluations. Unlike single model
The tech world has long been fascinated by large language models (LLMs) powered by Nvidia GPUs. However, a quieter revolution is taking place in AI hardware, with the emergence of neuromorphic computing. Traditional deep learning architectures are facing limitations in terms of energy demands, leading to the rise of neuromorphic systems that promise to drastically
