A new study has found that when people are presented with two answers to an ethical question, most will think the answer from artificial intelligence (AI) is better than the response from another person.
The image diffusion model, in its simplest form, generates an image from the prompt. The prompt can be a text prompt or an image as long as a suitable encoder is available to convert it into a tensor that the model can use as a condition to guide the generation process. Text prompts are probably …
Upgrading to a shiny new device? Here’s how to restore your old phone to its factory settings.
We have just learned about ControlNet. Now, let’s explore the most effective way to control your character based on human pose. OpenPose is a great tool that can detect body keypoint locations in images and video. By integrating OpenPose with Stable Diffusion, we can guide the AI in generating images that match specific poses. In …
We have a very big and exciting update to share with you. Over the past few months, I have been publishing many of my AI insights and experiments on Substack. One of the things that LLMs are exposing is the role that psychology and bias play in creating and interpreting information. Information isn’t passive. It’s some …
We barbecued for weeks to find the right charcoal and propane grills for road trips—or just for smaller homes.
Developing next-gen AI agents, exploring new modalities, and pioneering foundational learning
Conformal prediction (CP) for regression can be challenging, especially when the output distribution is heteroscedastic, multimodal, or skewed. Some of the issues can be addressed by estimating a distribution over the output, but in reality, such approaches can be sensitive to estimation error and yield unstable intervals. Here, we circumvent the challenges by converting regression …

In November 2023, the California Privacy Protection Agency (CPPA) released a set of draft regulations on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) and automated decision-making technology (ADMT). The proposed rules are still in development, but organizations may want to pay close attention to their evolution. Because the state is home to many of the world’s …
The intricate hierarchical data structures in data warehouses and lakes sourced from diverse origins can make data modeling a protracted and error-prone process. To quickly adapt and create data models that meet evolving business requirements without having to rework them excessively, you need data models that are flexible, modular and adaptable enough to accommodate many …
