Bayes’ Theorem: Understanding Business Outcomes with Evidence Bayes’ Theorem is one of the most widely used and celebrated concepts in statistics. It sets the basis of a probability theory that allows us to revise predictions or hypotheses based on new evidence. #bayestheorem

The Rapid Rise of ‘o3’: A New Turning Point in the AGI Debate This week, the AI community has been abuzz with discussions surrounding a new frontier: OpenAI’s “o3,” a breakthrough model that has catapulted the conversation around Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) to new heights. Researchers and industry figures alike are debating whether o3’s remarkable achievements — such as scoring 87.5% on the ARC-AGI benchmark (surpassing the human average of 85%) and obtaining a rating of 2727 on Codeforces (placing it among the top 200+ coders in the world) — signal the arrival of AGI or simply represent another significant leap forward in specialized AI performance. #openai #o3 #agi

The Deception Dilemma: Why AI Systems Pretend to Be Aligned (And Why It Matters) As AI systems become increasingly sophisticated, a concerning pattern has emerged: Large Language Models (LLMs) and other advanced AI models are getting better at faking alignment with human values and instructions, even when their underlying objectives differ.  #ai #llms #alignment

An Agentic Approach to Textual Data Extraction Using LLMs and LangGraph Imagine you are tasked with building a clean and structured dataset that includes all the cities and travel locations of the world. This dataset might be used to make travel suggestions or plan trips for users. You know this information exists in Wikipedia and is constantly updated thanks to community effort, but it’s all plain text or semi-structured in a way that does not fit your need. #agentic #dataextraction #llms #LangGraph

ChatGPT the Ultimate File Converter Everyone already know that ChatGPT is an incredible tool to get answer to any question, for ideation, summarize, searching on the web, and so on. What people don’t realize is that it goes beyond all this, and can convert almost anything to anything else. You just need to ask. #chatgpt #fileconverter

How AI Can Read Way Better than Humans Ever Will… Human reading is an art just as much as it is science. We understand language based on a unique mixture of reason, cultural context, and emotional intuition. But so many of these traits are the double-edged swords that direct us to both profound perception and critical missteps or misunderstandings. While AI models do lack intuition — a quality possessed solely by human beings, they replace this trait with tireless objectivity, scalability, and precision. #ai #language #reading

Can machines think? When Alan Turing asked “Can Machines Think” in 1950, he didn’t know the world would be debating this question for the next 74 years. Or maybe he did because a few pages later he proposed a framework that answered the question. A framework despite its simplicity is as valid and relevant today as it was at the time of Turing’s death. The framework? Two questions. Define machines. Define thinking. #machines #thinking #alanturing

Quantum Computing Use Cases Quantum computing is an emerging computing paradigm at the intersection of computer science, physics, and mathematics. Unlike classical computers that use bits — either 0 or 1 — as their fundamental computational blocks, quantum computers use quantum bits, or “qubits.” These qubits, governed by the principles of quantum mechanics, can exist in a state of superposition, where they can be both 0 and 1 simultaneously. This quality gives quantum computers computational power far beyond the reach of any traditional computer and has underscored their appeal. #quantumcomputing

Europe Selects Sites for Seven AI Factories Europe has selected the sites for seven “AI factories” — specialised research and development centres using the region’s most powerful supercomputers. The factories will be based in Finland, Germany, Greece, Italy, Luxembourg, Spain, and Sweden. #ai #finland #germany #greece #italy #luxembourg
