In recent years, generative AI has taken the world by storm. However, as powerful as these AI systems are, their capabilities can be significantly enhanced by incorporating external data. This is where vector embeddings and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) come into play. What Are Vector Embeddings? At their core, vector embeddings are numerical representations of objects…

“When a Clown moves into a Palace, he doesn’t become a King. The Palace instead becomes a Circus.” This Turkish proverb aptly captures the current state of affairs, particularly regarding Western leaders, with some notable exceptions. On January 29, 2025, Republicans attempted to sanction the International Criminal Court (ICC) in response to the court’s arrest…

Large language models have grown increasingly complex, with some containing hundreds of billions of parameters. Running these models at inference time is typically computationally intensive. One approach to address this challenge is Mixture of Experts (MoE) , a machine learning technique that divides a model into separate subnetworks, or “experts.” Each expert focuses on a…

The term “Sputnik moment” originates from the launch of Sputnik 1 by the Soviet Union on October 4, 1957—the world’s first artificial satellite. This event shocked the United States and the world, demonstrating Soviet technological superiority in space exploration during the Cold War. Similarly, the launch of DeepSeek R1, a groundbreaking AI model developed by…

Anyone in the tech industry today, witnessing the rapid progress of AI models and AI agents, can hardly sleep. I wonder how the leaders of nations remain oblivious to the next tragedy that is approaching. In the past, during the Industrial Revolution (late 18th to early 19th century), many countries missed the bus of opportunity.…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the way we live and work, yet its terminology can often be confusing. Concepts like AI assistants, RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) and AI agents are frequently discussed in media and business contexts. While these terms are sometimes used interchangeably, they represent distinct technologies with unique functionalities and applications. Whether you’re a…

I recently started reading The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman, the co-founder of DeepMind. DeepMind, the pioneering AI company behind AlphaGo, was acquired by Google in 2014. In 2016, AlphaGo achieved a historic milestone by defeating Lee Sedol, one of the world’s top players of the ancient and complex board game Go, in a five-game…

Scenario analysis is a powerful tool for navigating uncertainty in both business and geopolitics. By considering multiple plausible futures based on key variables, decision-makers can anticipate risks, seize opportunities, and build resilience. Unlike predictions, scenario analysis creates narratives around uncertainties, allowing stakeholders to explore a range of potential outcomes. Benefits in Business: Benefits in Politics:…
