Have you ever felt like your phone is listening to you? Or that the internet knows more about you than your best friend? Well, you're not alone. Welcome to the wonderful world of Big Tech, where a handful of companies control almost every aspect of our digital lives. It's like living in a world where the only grocery store is Amazon, and the only search engine is Google. And let's face it, who wants to live in a world where you can't find anything online without first seeing an ad for the same thing you were just thinking about?   Unplugging: A Guide to Breaking Up Big Tech Companies A 36-page background paper (PDF) begins by stating: "The current model of the global digital economy is broken and dysfunctional, in part due to the stranglehold of a handful of powerful technology companies that are reaping enormous profits while inflicting increasing harm on people, society, the economy and the environment."     The Plot Against the Machines: A brave ban...

A world where the most valuable resource isn't gold or oil, but data. And the places where this data is stored, processed, and analyzed: the data centers. These digital fortresses are the new frontier of technological innovation, and the stakes are as high as a server farm. If the internet were a human body, data centers would be the brain, the heart, and the lungs. They're the beating pulse of our digital world, and everyone from tech giants to governments is scrambling to get a piece of the action. The Great Data Center Gold Rush The Data Center Dilemma: Building a Digital Empire Now, building a data center isn't as simple as throwing up a few servers in your garage. It's more like constructing a skyscraper in the middle of the desert - a massive, complex undertaking that requires careful planning, immense resources, and a whole lot of faith in the future of AI. You've got to consider factors like: Location, location, location: Is the place cool enough to k...

As artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) continue to revolutionize various industries, it's crucial to remember the importance of valuing human beings. While AI and ML can automate many processes and make them more efficient, they can never replace the creativity, intuition, and empathy that come naturally to humans. The Value of Humanity in the Age of AI (toc) #title=(content list) As we move towards a future where AI and ML are increasingly integrated into our lives, it's important to recognize the unique qualities that make us human. Our ability to connect with others, to empathize, and to adapt to changing situations is what sets us apart from machines. Furthermore, as we create more advanced AI systems, we need to ensure that they align with human values and ethics. The development and deployment of AI should always be guided by the goal of promoting the well-being of humans and society as a whole. In this age of AI, we must strive to strike a balance be...

Stanford University’s AI Index Report 2023: The Current State of AI Research Stanford University’s AI Index Report 2023: The Current State of AI Research Artificial intelligence (AI) used to be an exciting field of research, but now it has become primarily a money-making field for those who already have a lot of it. This is one of the key takeaways from Stanford University's AI Index Report 2023, which was recently published. The report provides a comprehensive overview of the state of AI research and its impact on society. One of the key findings of the report is that up until 2014, most of the major machine learning models were developed by public research institutions. However, the tech industry has now taken over the field, with 32 out of 35 major machine learning models released last year being developed by companies. This has led to a renewed concentration of power among tech companies, which have the resources required to develop state-of-the-art AI systems, such as supercom...

The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) has recently introduced the country's first ethical guidelines for the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in biomedical research and healthcare. The guidelines are aimed at providing an ethical framework for the development of AI-based tools to benefit all stakeholders. AI in healthcare is largely dependent on data obtained from human participants, and as such, raises concerns related to potential biases, data handling, interpretation, autonomy, risk minimization, professional competence, data sharing, and confidentiality. To address these concerns, the ICMR has developed these guidelines to ensure that ethical principles are considered while developing and deploying AI-based solutions in healthcare.  AI in Biomedical Research and Healthcare The adoption of AI technology in healthcare is rapidly growing in India. However, AI as a data-driven technology has potential ethical challenges, including algorithmic transparency and ...
