Ahead of AI & Big Data Expo Europe, AI News caught up with Ivo Everts, Senior Solutions Architect at Databricks, to discuss several key developments set to shape the future of open-source AI and data governance. One of Databricks’ notable achievements is the DBRX model, which set a new standard for open large language models […]

As data management grows more complex and modern applications extend the capabilities of traditional approaches, AI is revolutionising application scaling. Han Heloir, EMEA gen AI senior solutions architect, MongoDB. In addition to freeing operators from outdated, inefficient methods that require careful supervision and extra resources, AI enables real-time, adaptive optimisation of application scaling. Ultimately, these

It’s sometimes difficult to distinguish the reality of technology from the hype and marketing messages that bombard our inboxes daily. In just the last five years, we’ve probably heard too much about the metaverse, blockchain and virtual reality, for example. At present, we’re in the midst of a furore about the much-abused term ‘AI’, and

As AI reshapes the digital landscape, tech companies find themselves in a high-stakes game of regulatory chess, with each move potentially changing the possibilities stemming from innovation. The game board is especially intricate for global infrastructure providers like Cloudflare, involving as it does cybersecurity, data privacy, and content moderation in a complex policy framework. “No

A new study by researchers at King’s Business School and Wazoku has revealed that AI is transforming global problem-solving. The report found that nearly half (46%) of Wazoku’s 700,000-strong network of problem solvers had utilised generative AI (GenAI) to work on innovative ideas over the past year. This network – known as the Wazoku Crowd

As artificial intelligence systems increasingly permeate critical decision-making processes in our everyday lives, the integration of ethical frameworks into AI development is becoming a research priority. At the University of Maryland (UMD), interdisciplinary teams tackle the complex interplay between normative reasoning, machine learning algorithms, and socio-technical systems.  In a recent interview with Artificial Intelligence News,

In the near future, Silicon Valley might look back at recent events as the point where the generative AI craze went too far. This past summer, investors questioned whether top AI stocks could sustain their sky-high valuations, given the lack of returns on massive AI spending. As Autumn approaches, major AI sectors—such as chips, LLMs,

While AI improves the detection of cybersecurity threats, it simultaneously ushers in more advanced challenges. Research from Keeper Security finds that, despite the implementation of AI-related policies, many organisations remain inadequately prepared for AI-powered threats. 84% of IT and security leaders find AI-enhanced tools have exacerbated the challenge of detecting phishing and smishing attacks, which

China Telecom, one of the country’s state-owned telecom giants, has created two LLMs that were trained solely on domestically-produced chips. This breakthrough represents a significant step in China’s ongoing efforts to become self-reliant in AI technology, especially in light of escalating US limitations on access to advanced semiconductors for its competitors. According to the company’s
