5G’s low latency, greater throughput and more consistent connections make remote driving technically viable—but is it truly the better option? While 5G can help address reliability concerns, the biggest challenge might not be the network but the human element. Could a remote driver be the weakest link in …

The Text-to-Speech (TTS) landscape is transforming rapidly. Have you explored the latest advancements?

I recently came across Kokoro, a compact yet powerful TTS model (only 82M parameters!), and I'm impressed. Its audio quality is exceptional, rivalling much larger models. Beyond quality, Kokoro is fast enough for real-time applications and can …

Ever wish you could give those annoying scammers a taste of their own medicine? O2 has found a brilliant way to do just that! Their AI chatbot, "DAIsy," poses as a sweet but slightly confused old lady, politely but effectively wasting scammers' time. It's a clever and entertaining approach to …

Phishing is becoming more sophisticated with advances in generative AI. A capable attacker with enough of your personal data can do significant harm. This makes data security and privacy more important than ever. Fortunately, AI is also part of the solution, helping to detect and defend against these threats.

Retrieval Augmented Generation (RAG) combines the strengths of Large Language Models (LLMs) with retrieval mechanisms. The term was first introduced by Meta AI researchers in a 2020 paper titled Retrieval Augmented Generation for Knowledge-Intensive NLP Tasks. However, it wasn't until early 2023 that it started to gain interest within Enterprise …

The team at OpenAI has been celebrating the holiday season with a playful take on the 12 Days of Christmas. So far, we've seen updates showcasing how GPT Pro is solving multimodal challenges and announcements like the rollout of SORA, but one update that stood out to me was the …

Back in 2000, Honda unveiled ASIMO, a humanoid robot that felt like it had stepped straight out of science fiction. ASIMO could run, climb stairs, serve drinks, and interact with humans—an incredible achievement from Honda's research into robotics, which began in the mid-1980s.

I vividly remember being captivated by …

Ever wondered how well Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) can perform with a classic like Alice's Adventures in Wonderland? I recently used the RAG Assessment (ragas) Python module to automatically create a set of Q&A and then performance benchmark different configurations. Some of the results were surprising.

Dive into my detailed …
