AI

In large enterprises, responsible AI lives or dies in the gap between strategy decks and what actually ships. The WEF “Advancing Responsible AI Innovation” playbook gives a useful language for that gap - but it only becomes real when it’s translated into operating habits across product, risk, and technology teams. Here I want to spend some time thinking about how the nine plays in the framework can be used as a practical scaffold for enterprise AI programmes, rather than a poster on the wall....

I’ve been seeing lots about how AI, and the ever-growing use of LLMs, is creating slop that is killing the internet - making us angry and breaking our brains. I wrote about how this might impact scientific publications in 2023, but I think we should revisit this topic in light of a quote that shifts how I think about content today. In her video, My 17 Minute AI Workflow To Stand Out At Work, Vicky Zhao makes the point that, “in 2025, it will take you longer to read something and comprehend it than the amount of time it took to create it”....

I have heard wonderful things about gptel - the Emacs package that gives an interface to various LLMs. I will admit however I really struggled to get this working using my OpenAI API key with the Docs in their GitHub. Below is a quick guide for anyone else that got stuck - running a Linux machine. First things, get gptel installed - add the below to your config: (use-package gptel :ensure t) (setq gptel-api-key (getenv "OPENAI_API_KEY")) You will notice here we have to specify out OpenAI API key....

In the whirlwind of technological evolution, generative AI emerged as a beacon of transformative potential. Less than two years ago, the advent of ChatGPT set the tech world ablaze with predictions of a seismic shift that promised to redefine industries, economies, and the fabric of our daily lives. Goldman Sachs, with the precision of seasoned soothsayers, foretold the displacement of 300 million jobs.1 Yet, as we stand eighteen months into this future, the landscape is markedly different from what was prophesised....

Thoughts here are my own In the ever-evolving landscape of technology and artificial intelligence (AI), the decision by the new Labour government to shelve £1.3bn of funding promised by the previous Conservatives leadership for tech and AI projects will cast a long shadow over the future of AI, and scientific compute, innovation in the UK.1 This move, while framed as a necessary adjustment to restore economic stability, underscores a deeper, more systemic issue: the vulnerability of technological advancement to the whims of political change....

In the rapidly evolving landscape of technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative force, with the promise to reshaping industries and redefining the way businesses operate. As organisations increasingly integrate AI into their operations, a new challenge arises: managing the financial implications of these powerful technologies. This is where Financial Operations (FinOps) comes into play, offering a strategic framework to maximize business value from AI investments. AI’s potential to drive growth and innovation is undeniable....

In the landscape of technological evolution, 2023 marked a significant milestone with the advent of readily available AI tools, ushering in an era where artificial intelligence applications burgeoned, promising to redefine how we tackle everyday tasks. These advances cut through, to the point where everyone and their Nan had heard of ChatGPT. Yet, amidst this digital renaissance, a paradox emerged—not of capability, but of integration. The true challenge lay not in the power of AI itself but in weaving it into the fabric of our daily lives....

A year ago I transitioned from my background in Chemical R&D to a role within the IT function - a significant leap for me. I was quickly introduced to the world of continuous learning within the realm of IT and the well defined certification paths - something, I believe, is lacking within the chemical space. The need to adapt and keep up with ever-evolving technologies was evident and I realized the importance of certifications in validating my knowledge....

Introduction As technology continues to advance, it has become easier for people to create fake blogs and pass them off as legitimate sources of information. One tool that is being used to create these fake blogs is chatgpt, a machine learning algorithm that can generate text in a conversational style. While chatgpt has many legitimate uses, it is also being used to create fake blogs that are designed to manipulate readers and spread false information....
