Things Worth Noting
AI bias represents a critical blindspot in modern technology, where machine learning models trained on skewed data amplify racial and gender biases, perpetuating inequality in hiring, lending, and policing. These algorithms often inherit historical prejudices from imbalanced datasets and undiverse development teams, leading to discriminatory outcomes—like resume screening that disadvantages women or minorities, credit decisions […]
Quantum computing breakthroughs are bringing powerful real-world applications to life through entangled qubits, dramatically accelerating complex computations. In drug discovery, quantum systems now simulate molecular interactions in hours instead of years, enabling faster identification of promising compounds and more efficient pharmaceutical development. When integrated with AI, these capabilities support personalized medicine by analyzing vast biological […]

In 2026, online courses are a smart way to earn high-paying tech certifications in AI and cybersecurity, with salaries often ranging from $110,000 to $170,000+. Flexible platforms like Coursera, Udemy, and edX offer beginner-friendly options, many free or low-cost. For AI certification, start with free courses like “AI For Everyone” or Google AI Essentials, then […]
AI self-checkout systems use cameras, sensors, and facial recognition to detect theft by monitoring shopper movements, scanning items, and flagging issues like label switching or mismatches in real time. These tools help retailers reduce losses, speed up transactions, and improve inventory tracking. However, the technology often produces false positives, wrongly accusing innocent customers, and facial […]
No, governments should not implement a full Universal Basic Income even if AI displaces 50% of current jobs. While AI will disrupt many roles—experts like Geoffrey Hinton predict major job shocks by 2026, and IMF estimates suggest up to 40% of global jobs affected—the historical pattern of technology shows net job creation over time through […]
In 2024, former Google CEO Eric Schmidt gave a candid Stanford lecture on AI’s future, predicting powerful AI agents, massive data centers needing gigawatt-scale power, and a fierce U.S.-China AI race. He criticized Google’s culture for prioritizing remote work and work-life balance, claiming it caused the company to fall behind startups like OpenAI. Schmidt also […]
Agentic AI is transforming productivity automation in 2026 by powering autonomous AI agents that independently plan, reason, and execute complex tasks with minimal human input. Unlike traditional AI that only responds to commands, agentic AI proactively handles multi-step workflows—such as analyzing data, scheduling, automating emails, and integrating with tools—delivering measurable gains like 40-75% higher efficiency […]
In 2025, TIME Magazine named “The Architects of AI” its Person of the Year, honoring the visionary leaders driving the AI revolution. Figures like Nvidia’s CEO, OpenAI’s leader behind ChatGPT, Elon Musk with his AI and robotics ventures, and heads of DeepMind, Anthropic, AMD, and Meta have transformed artificial intelligence into a global force. Rapid […]
