Microsoft’s New “Recall” Feature: A Double-Edged Sword?
At the recent Build conference, Microsoft unveiled an ambitious new feature for Windows 11 called "Recall," integrated into the new Copilot+ PCs. This AI-powered tool aims to revolutionize how users search and retrieve past activities on their PCs. However, while innovative, Recall raises significant privacy and security concerns that cannot be ignored. How Recall Works...
Why Software Engineers Should Embrace Philosophy
In the world of software engineering, where lines of code and caffeine reign supreme, there’s an unlikely ally waiting in the wings: philosophy. Yes, you read that right. The ancient art of pondering existence, ethics, and the meaning of life can turbocharge your coding skills. Here’s why software engineers should dive into the realm of...
The Real-World Efficacy of Human-AI Collaboration: It’s Complicated
Welcome to the age of artificial intelligence, where every tech headline seems to herald a new era of human-AI symbiosis. But let’s be real: the relationship status between humans and AI often reads like a complicated Facebook update. As we wade through the waters of AI collaboration, it turns out the synergy between human intelligence...
Understanding AI outputs: study shows cultural bias in the way AI decisions are explained
Humans are increasingly using artificial intelligence (AI) to inform decisions about our lives. AI is, for instance, helping to make hiring choices and offer medical diagnoses. If you were affected, you might want an explanation of why an AI system produced the decision it did. Yet AI systems are often so computationally complex that not...

What are autonomous Agents?
Step aside, boring textbooks! Let's talk about the cool kids on the block: autonomous agents. Imagine a bunch of mini superheroes, but instead of capes and superpowers, they have sensors and software. They're not just sitting around—they're out there in the world, sensing stuff, making decisions, and hustling to achieve their own goals. So, who...
Are We Living in a Simulation? Let’s Explore!
Hey, tech enthusiasts! Have you ever pondered the idea that our reality might not be as "real" as we think? A fascinating article by Nick Bostrom, a philosopher at Oxford University, dives deep into this intriguing concept, suggesting that we might be living in a computer-generated universe, also know in tech circles as simulation. Imagine...

Hello, tech enthusiasts! Are you ready to ride the wave of the future? Imagine if you could clone yourself to tackle that ever-growing pile of coding on your desk. Well, Cognition has just introduced a new team member you'll want to meet—Devin, the AI software engineer. And guess what? Devin is not just any ordinary...
Closing the Automation Gap
In the evolving landscape of digital automation, a significant gap persists between the potential of automation technologies and their application in real-world scenarios. Modern LLMs have virtually no control over legacy apps on computers, smartphones, respectively: they cannot move a cursor on a desktop, cannot input text into fields or start apps. However, there has...
