Generative AI is everywhere. It’s in our apps, our databases, our dashboards, our phones. Tech and data leaders are probably wondering: “How am I supposed to take advantage of the gen AI mania?” This week, a “special guest” joins Bruno’s CarCast to help decrypt the mania. This CarCast also covers some of the must read resources from last week and key ones to pay attention to for…

A New York Times article this morning, titled “How to Tell if Your AI Is Conscious,” says that in a new report, “scientists offer a list of measurable qualities” based on a “brand-new” science of consciousness.  The article immediately jumped out at me, as it was published just a few days after I had a long chat with Thomas Krendl Gilbert, a machine ethicist who, among other things…

In recent months, the enterprise software market has been utterly flooded with new generative AI-related updates, tools, and startups. For vendors hawking new wares, standing out from the crowd is tricky. But one such vendor hopes to do so by tackling a very specific problem: time management. This week, the three-year-old Los Angeles-founded startup timeOS (formerly called Magical HQ) unveiled its…

When people program new deep learning AI models — those that can focus on the right features of data by themselves — the vast majority rely on optimization algorithms, or optimizers, to ensure the models have a high enough rate of accuracy. But one of the most commonly used optimizers — derivative-based optimizers— run into trouble handling real-world applications. In a new paper…
