However, it has taken on a new lease of life with the widespread use of generative artificial intelligence (AI) based…
Imagine giving a robot a multiple-choice exam, but then realising it already knows all the answers. When a new version of an AI model is released by a major vendor like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Google, it usually comes with a series of statements about how well the model performs on benchmark tests. These benchmarks may…
The UK employs almost a quarter (24%) of all AI workers in Europe, ahead of Germany (14%) and France (12%). Its AI economy was worth £72 billion in 2024 according to UK government figures, employing over 362,000 workers, and 3,700 AI companies directly employed 60,000 people in 2024. This increased to 5,800 companies by September…
As large language models (LLMs) have become popular, the next phase of artificial intelligence being sold to corporations by vendors is “agentic AI”. This is the idea of AI systems capable of taking autonomous actions without human supervision. An AI agent is an individual software component able to make decisions and carry out tasks, such…
Most articles about artificial intelligence (AI) today discuss its capabilities and potential for innovative applications, from chatbots to predictive maintenance in engineering. What is less well explored is the cost of delivering these projects, and even less well addressed is the issue of supporting an AI model once it is already in production use. We…
Artificial intelligence, particularly generative AI, based on large language models (LLMs) has had a seismic impact on the world since ChatGPT’s public release in November 2022. Half of all internet content is now AI-generated, over half of all venture capital investment is AI-related, and NVIDIA became the most valuable company in the world in July…
