An AI ran a vending machine in the WSJ office.It lost money.The internet laughed. For many people, the reaction was instant and familiar: “See? AI is overhyped.” Screenshots were shared, jokes were made, and the story quickly became another punchline in the ongoing debate about whether artificial intelligence is actually helpful in real-world conditions. But that reaction misses something important. This wasn’t a chatbot giving a wrong answer or a model hallucinating a fact. This was an AI system operating in the real world, with the freedom to handle money, respond to humans, and make decisions with real consequences. It…
Genetics is a lot like receiving a book written in a language you were never taught. You can recognize a few letters, maybe even a handful of words, but most of the pages remain a mystery. And yet, that book shapes everything about us: our traits, our risks, the tiny biological decisions happening in our cells every second. For me, this became real when a family member underwent genetic testing for a health concern. The result? A gene “variant of unknown significance”. It wasn’t clearly harmful, but it wasn’t harmless either. And as the next generation, I felt that gray…
Ever noticed how everything starts to sound alike, no matter where you are online? It could be a blog on a website, a LinkedIn post, a newsletter, or a reel being read out loud by an influencer. Different topics. Different people. Different formats. Yet the language, tone, and structure keep repeating. This became easier to notice once writing with AI was available to everyone. AI gave people a voice. Suddenly, it was easier to put your thoughts into words, share your work, and say what you wanted without overthinking it. That opened the door for a lot more people to…
What if the best code isn’t carefully written line by line, but instead naturally felt and expressed? This concept, often referred to as vibe coding, reflects a fresh shift in modern programming practices. Instead of only following strict syntax, vibe coding highlights intuition and flow as central parts of development. Developers often describe it as similar to music or art, where creativity guides each natural decision. The rise of AI tools has made this approach possible and accessible for more programmers everywhere. AI copilots, such as GitHub Copilot and Replit Ghostwriter, provide instant code suggestions that maintain continuous creative flow.…
Have you ever noticed the smallest details, like the sound of your footsteps, a sudden choice, or a single thought that changes your mood? That spark of awareness is consciousness, the ability to reflect on yourself and the world around you. Scientists and philosophers have debated it for centuries, yet it’s something we all experience every day. Now imagine a machine with that same kind of awareness. That’s what conscious AI is. It’s about systems that can look at their own decisions, learn from them, and change how they act. Some researchers even talk about AI sentience, machines that might…
Ever wondered how your phone recognizes your face but not your sibling’s, or how Google Photos groups your vacation pictures automatically? While it seems like magic, it’s actually AI image recognition quietly crunching pixels in the background. AI, in simple terms, is a branch of computer science that allows machines to perform tasks that usually require human intelligence, such as recognizing patterns, making decisions, or learning from experience. When talking about photos, AI can see images and extract information from them, even though it doesn’t experience them the way we do. How, you ask? Think about the last time you…
A couple of years ago, AI in software development mostly meant autocomplete. Tools like GitHub Copilot and Codeium could predict the next line of code or suggest a snippet. Helpful, but limited. They made typing faster, not shipping faster. That’s changing. Developers are moving from relying on basic autocomplete features to adopting powerful AI coding tools and agents that act across the full development lifecycle. The difference is clear: an assistant advises; an agent carries out the task. Today, a developer can point to a bug and say, “Fix that.” The AI can edit the code, run the tests, and…
Artificial intelligence is changing the way we build software. Tasks that once needed advanced coding skills and hours of work can now be done much faster with the help of AI. A good example is GitHub Copilot. Developers who use it complete tasks 55% faster than those who don’t. That shows how powerful AI can be in making development quicker and easier. GitHub has been leading this shift with tools such as Copilot, which helps developers write code, and Copilot Workspace, which brings AI support across entire development environments. Now the company is testing a new experimental tool called GitHub…
A few years back, searching online meant typing something into Google and scrolling through endless blue links until we found an answer. Things look very different today. We can open ChatGPT, Perplexity, or Gemini, ask a question, and within seconds get a clear, human-like response. These tools can scan millions of web pages in the background, piece together the best information, and present it as if it were written just for you. For decades, businesses played by the old SEO playbook, like using the right keywords, building backlinks, polishing the metadata, and aiming for the top of the search results.…
Every day, we share small parts of ourselves online. A quick voice note to a friend. A short video on social media. A photo with family or colleagues. These moments feel normal and harmless. But artificial intelligence is changing how these moments can be used. With only a few seconds of audio or a few photos, AI can now create a version of you that looks and sounds very real. It can copy the way you speak, the way you smile, and even the way you move. This digital copy is called an AI doppelganger. This is no longer an…
