Chats with AI – Shadows in the Cloud

In the bustling city of Techhaven, where skyscrapers gleamed with digital screens and the hum of innovation filled the air, a tech company named Cloud Sphere was making waves. Known for its cutting-edge cloud solutions, Cloud Sphere had rapidly become a leader in the industry. However, beneath the surface of success, a storm was brewing. Read More …

Computer Vision: Enabling AI to See and Understand the World

Computer vision, at its core, is a field of Artificial Intelligence (AI) that empowers computers to “see” and interpret the visual world, much like humans do with their eyes and brains. It’s about enabling machines to extract meaningful information from digital images, videos, and other visual inputs, and then use that information to understand, classify, Read More …

GAN – Generative Adversarial Network

Imagine you have two artists: a forger and an art critic. The forger tries to create fake paintings that look just like the real ones, while the critic tries to distinguish the fakes from the authentic pieces. As they both get better at their jobs, the forger becomes more skilled at creating convincing fakes, and Read More …

RNN – Recurrent Neural Networks

In the realm of Artificial Intelligence, many tasks involve understanding data that unfolds over time or has a sequential structure. Think of comprehending spoken language, predicting stock prices, or even generating music. Traditional neural networks, designed to process independent inputs, often fall short in these scenarios. This is where Recurrent Neural Networks (RNNs) come into Read More …

CNN – Convolutional Neural Networks

Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) were inspired by the way the human visual cortex works, CNNs are a specialized type of neural network particularly adept at analyzing and understanding images. They are the engine behind many impressive AI applications, from recognizing faces in photos to powering autonomous vehicles.  Traditional neural networks, while powerful, can struggle with Read More …

RAG: Giving AI a Better Memory

Imagine you’re trying to answer a tough question, but your brain doesn’t have the specific information. What do you do? You probably look it up – maybe on the internet or in a book. Retrieval-Augmented Generation, or RAG, is a way to give AI models a similar ability.  Think of a powerful AI language model as Read More …

NLP – Natural Language Processing

Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a subfield of artificial intelligence that focuses on the interaction between computers and humans through natural language. The primary goal of NLP is to enable machines to understand, interpret, and generate human language in a way that is both meaningful and useful. This capability has led to the development of Read More …

Chat with AI – Cloud Only Hacker

Attackers are increasingly able to meet their objectives by compromising corporate cloud accounts and subsequently moving laterally within the cloud environment, often without needing to breach individual endpoints. Several factors are driving this trend: Expanded Attack Surface in the Cloud: As organizations increasingly adopt cloud services and SaaS solutions, the attack surface has grown larger Read More …

Month of AI Video – Practical LLM Security

Practical LLM Security As large language models (LLMs) become increasingly integrated into various applications, the security standards for these integrations have not kept pace. Much of the current security research tends to focus on either 1) the social harms and biases associated with LLMs, along with content moderation issues, or 2) the LLMs themselves, often Read More …

LLM – Large Language Model

A non-technical definition………. Imagine you have a friend who is an incredible storyteller. This friend has read thousands of books, articles, and conversations, absorbing all kinds of information about the world. When you ask them a question or give them a topic, they can quickly come up with a thoughtful response, tell a story, or Read More …
