Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the imitation of human intelligence by machines, especially computer systems. The concept of AI has been around for more than half a century, but it took two decades for the world to realize its enormous potential. AI has various applications such as Simulation, Natural Language Processing, Speech Recognition, and Robotics. The field of AI has been evolving rapidly and growing aggressively. Today, AI is ubiquitous. Therefore, learning about AI technologies will keep you updated. This blog will explore some of the popular technologies that use AI, such as Natural Language Processing, Robotic Process Automation, and Natural Language Generation. Artificial intelligence has transformed our lives with innovative technologies. AI has swept across every industry and has a significant influence on every aspect of society. The term Artificial intelligence was first introduced in 1956 at a conference. The conference sparked an interdisciplinary collaboration in in...

Once upon a time, there was a submarine named Titan that belonged to OceanGate Expeditions. It was designed to take five people to depths of 13,124 feet for site survey and inspection, research and data collection1. The submarine submerged with five people on board on a Sunday morning to explore the famous Titanic shipwreck. However, the crew of the Polar Prince research ship lost contact with the sub about an hour and 45 minutes later.  The U.S. and Canadian rescue teams searched for signs of the missing vessel above and below the waters1. The U.S. Coast Guard coordinated with the U.S. Navy and Canadian military to organize the search1. The team had two ROVs actively searching, with several more due to arrive to join the search. The fate of the submarine and its passengers remains unknown. But their story lives on as a reminder of the dangers and mysteries of the deep sea. We will keep you updated in the next few days.

 Google has recently unveiled several new AI-powered tools. One of them is an AI-powered anti-money laundering (AML) product, designed to aid global financial institutions to detect money laundering more effectively and efficiently. Another one is a “virtual try-on” feature that uses AI technology to let shoppers see how clothing items would look on models of different shapes and sizes.

The features include new ways to generate, summarize, and brainstorm text with AI in Google Docs (similar to how many people use OpenAI’s ChatGPT), the option to generate full emails in Gmail based on users’ brief bullet points, and the ability to produce AI imagery, audio, and video to illustrate presentations in Slides (similar to features in both Microsoft Des...

On Thursday (22), a robot discovered the remains of the OceanGate Titan submersible. This comes after the vehicle vanished on Sunday (18) with five people on board, leading to speculation on social media. Some suggested that Titan lost communication because it was using internet from SpaceX's Starlink satellites, Elon Musk's company. However, this is not true. A Logitech control worth R$ 300 guided the lost submarine in its search for the Titanic. According to a Snopes portal publication, Starlink provided a connection for the expedition. Additionally, OceanGate tweeted one day before the expedition began that they relied on Starlink for communication since there are no cell towers in the middle of the ocean. The tweet was deleted after confusion arose. Another tweet from Starlink's profile stated that "space internet was supporting the Titanic diving expedition." Some interpreted this as meaning that Starlink internet - and therefore Elon Musk - was responsible f...
