Background Imagine teaching a machine to paint like Raja Ravi Verma, write like Arundhati Roy, or compose music in a style reminiscent of A.R. Rahman. To achieve that, the machine must absorb thousands of hours of music, millions of pages of text, and vast collections of visual art. This is the central reality of generative...

Generative AI is reshaping knowledge work, yet its influence on employee knowledge behavior remains theoretically fragmented. Drawing on the Automation–Augmentation Paradox and Cognitive Appraisal Theory, this study constructs a dual-pathway moderated mediation model to examine how generative AI usage simultaneously affects knowledge sharing and knowledge hiding. We propose that AI usage enhances…

When building prototypes with Generative AI, velocity is everything. Developers want to stitch together prompts, text splitters, vector stores, and models as quickly as possible. This need for speed catalyzed the explosive rise of orchestration frameworks like LangChain. However, as a backend systems engineer with over a decade of experience maintaining production microservices, my perspective ch…

Originally published on Mohamad Alsabbagh's Blog . AI coding assistants are excellent at compressing known work into fast drafts. That speed is the preface boost : routine implementation arrives almost immediately. The hidden risk is that teams begin treating the model's first plausible answer as architecture. Because LLMs are trained and aligned around historically common patterns, they can pull…

Artificial intelligence (AI) is loosely defined as a narrow form of data-driven intelligence that is exhibited by machines.Generative AI (GenAI) creates new content based on learned patterns, and is what supports online chatbots such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Copilot. Given the low awareness of the relationship between alcohol consumption and breast cancer risk in the U.S., as well as the increasin…

Investigation finds AI content that purports to show genuine customers, prompting calls for greater transparency Brands promoting their products online are quietly deploying AI-generated influencers on social media, an investigation has found, prompting calls for greater transparency. The findings suggest companies are increasingly turning to AI-generated content that purports to show genuine cus…

At Inithouse — a studio shipping a growing portfolio of products in parallel — we build tools that solve real creative problems. One of our products, Pet Imagination , turns pet photos into stylized AI art in under 60 seconds. What we didn't expect: users started asking how to put those designs on physical products. So we tested the workflow ourselves. Here's the step-by-step process we use to go…

Last week, a MetaFilter member posted a link to what appeared to be a new website for The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows, John Koenig’s decade-long project to make a “dictionary of made-up words for emotions that we all feel but don’t have the words to express.” The polished site includes everything you’d expect from a publisher’s promotional book site: an author biography, press mentions, and lin…

How AI Will Shape the Technology Industry in 2027 We're roughly 6 months out from 2027, and the signals are already converging: AI is not coming — it has arrived, and the next wave will be fundamentally different from everything that came before it. For developers and tech professionals, 2027 isn't a distant horizon. It's the next major inflection point to prepare for now. Here's what the researc…

AI isn't coming for your job. It already showed up, merged its first PR, and doesn't need a code review. The question developers keep dancing around — but rarely say out loud — is this: If GitHub Copilot, Cursor, and Claude can do what a junior dev does in a fraction of the time, what happens to junior devs? And more uncomfortably: what happens to mid-level devs in three years? The Uncomfortable …

Over the past year, the AI-eats-software camp, which includes sell-side strategists at Jefferies and, more cautiously, analysts at Bain, has warned that generative AI could eat into the seat-based Software as a Service (SaaS) model. In some respects, those fears have been justified. After Anthropic released plug-ins for its Claude Cowork agent earlier in 2026,… The post How Cypris evolved from se…

Generative AI changed how organizations interact with software. Agentic AI changes what software is permitted to do on behalf of users, moving people from direct execution towards supervision, approval, and exception handling. The post Agentic AI: From Gen AI experiments to enterprise operating models appeared first on Capgemini .

A build-in-public log of how we're turning sketches and prompts into beautiful, production-ready interfaces and why we think good design shouldn't be hard for anyone. TL;DR We're building OpenCraft , an AI-powered design-to-code platform. You sketch on an infinite canvas, describe what you want, and design actual beautiful, running Next.js code comes back. One environment. No tool-switching. No A…

Everyone is talking about AI Agents. But before you build an AI Agent, there is one concept you absolutely need to understand: Generative AI. Generative AI is the technology that transformed software from systems that simply follow rules into systems that can understand language, generate responses, reason through instructions, and assist users in a natural way. As part of my new course: Develop …

Generative AI Is Having Its Herbalife Moment How predatory vibe coding startups are selling false hope to young people Over the past few weeks, I’ve noticed that TikTok has been serving me ads for Replit — one of the many vibe-coding startups that have emerged in the past couple of years, and that serve as a glorified wrapper for models from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Google. Now, TikTok can be a wei…

AI may be facing an ROI reckoning. Brands, agencies and tech vendors alike are starting to face harder questions about whether generative AI can deliver the meaningful business results it promises. The honeymoon phase, however, isn’t over yet. DUDE Wipes has AI tools across the company, reducing man hours in supply chain tasks — providing employees […]

L’Oréal’s CMO Asmita Dubey is tasked with keeping the beauty giant competitive in the age of zero-click search and rapid AI creative production.

The big idea up front: AI, machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI are not four competing things. They are four circles nested inside each other. Once you see the nesting, the buzzwords stop being scary. I am a product manager, not an engineer, learning to become an AI PM in public. This is lesson 1, and this is the mental model I wish someone had drawn for me on day one. The four nest…

Germany’s BCN, the joint-venture commercial arm of three major publishing houses – Hubert Burda Media, Funke and Klambt – is rolling out a commercial product that helps brands get properly surfaced and described inside ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI assistants, not just on traditional search results pages.

Using 30 months of panel data on 26,811 Chinese students in grades 7–12, we study how generative AI affects homework productivity and learning. The data combine monthly closed-book exams, high-school and college entrance exams, and homework scores and completion time across nine subjects. We exploit staggered AI adoption in a difference-in-differences design. AI adoption raises […]
