In the latest edition of our tech newsletter, we delve into the paradox of artificial intelligence (AI): a technology that garners both disdain and fascination simultaneously. Recently, I had a conversation with the CEO of Springboards, a startup focused on creating a versatile language model. He described their company as a ‘self-loathing AI’ firm, expressing […]

Despite the vast amounts of data AI systems collect and analyze, a significant limitation persists in enterprise AI agents: their lack of contextual knowledge. Knowledge, which encompasses the understanding of data within the specific framework of an organization, is crucial for AI agents to effectively reason about scenarios, make informed decisions, and undertake appropriate actions. […]

During EmTech Future 2026, Yossi Matias, Vice President and Head of Google Research, highlighted the profound influence of artificial intelligence (AI) across various fields such as biology, infrastructure, manufacturing, and science. He emphasized that the most significant changes are likely to emerge at the intersection of AI and other technological domains. This year’s event provided […]

The landscape of enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) has shifted dramatically from a futuristic aspiration to a present-day necessity. Organizations are witnessing rapid advancements in AI capabilities, which are developing quicker than many can implement. As a result, global investments in AI are projected to soar to $2.5 trillion by 2026, reflecting a 44% increase from […]

In March, during an event in Seoul, I witnessed a moment that sparked debate regarding artificial intelligence’s capabilities. A program I contributed to made a seemingly bizarre move in a game of Go, placing a stone on the fifth line of the board. Observers initially suspected a programming error, but the move was intentional. Ultimately, […]

This week, I embarked on a unique competition that challenges participants to reverse their biological age, a concept that aims to provide a deeper understanding of health beyond mere chronological age. As I recently celebrated another birthday, the idea of biological youth sparked my interest. This contest, dubbed the ‘Younger’ challenge, invites competitors to engage […]

This week, an intriguing competition has emerged, challenging participants to reverse their biological age—a measure that aims to better assess the health of our organs and overall vitality compared to chronological age. With around 500 entrants, including myself, we will embark on a six-month journey employing various techniques and strategies to achieve this goal. Notably, […]

The integration of large-scale batteries into the energy grid has encountered significant hurdles, particularly in densely populated areas like New York City, where stringent regulations complicate the approval process. In response to these challenges, innovative startups are pivoting towards smaller, distributed battery systems, which can be deployed in diverse applications such as induction stovetops and […]

A groundbreaking artificial intelligence tool has emerged that can interpret visual stimuli directly from brain scans, effectively reconstructing images with impressive accuracy. This innovative technology not only determines what someone is viewing but can also predict brain activity based on specific visual inputs. Developed by Michal Irani and her team at the Weizmann Institute of […]
