AI is divisive. In the modern workplace today, most feel that the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its new generative strain of wonderment will transform the way we all work in the months and years to come. While some are still reticent to embrace its potential benefits (journalists and people in high-level decision-making roles may be among the more skeptical), data science theorists assure us that even the AI naysayers will soon find a subliminally attractive element of AI functionality coming forward in applications without it announcing itself as some newfangled auto-bot or intelligent assistant.

Among those groups who seem to ready to embrace AI quite readily are web developers, especially those who handle a large amount of image-centric tasks as they work to classify, categorize, manipulate and present pictorial assets for our online applications to illustrate our lives with.

To validate this suggestion, we need to know why working with web images can be such a chore, right? The fact is, advanced image editing and optimizing assets for human accessibility and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a key reason web development teams experience resource bottlenecks.

The chatbot which revolutionized the AI industry with competitors to catch up recently turned one year old.

This comes amidst the drama surrounding Sam Altman’s recent to OpenAI as CEO and reports questioning his ‘toxic’ behavior with employees.

In a landmark move with far-reaching implications, the European Union has reached a historic agreement on the world’s first comprehensive artificial intelligence (AI) regulation. This ambitious legislation, dubbed the “AI Act,” paves the way for ethical and responsible AI development while minimizing the potential risks of this transformative technology.

AI Act

The EU was ahead of the game when it released its initial AI rulebook in 2021, but the rise of generative AI caused officials to update their proposal.

In the world of aviation, safety is paramount. Yet, even with the most stringent regulations and meticulous maintenance, unforeseen circumstances can arise, pushing the boundaries of human courage and resilience. The story of British Airways flight BA5390, which took place on June 10, 1990, is a testament to this.

It’s a tale of chaos, quick thinking, and extraordinary bravery, culminating in a miraculous survival against all odds.
