During the golden age of the Renaissance, when movable type printing opened the doors of knowledge, a new paradigm was born. This was not greeted with universal enthusiasm. Authorities felt cracks in the foundation of their consolidated power. They recognized that an increasingly informed public undermined their monopoly on truth and thereby on power itself. Sounds familiar? Today this dilemma also arises in the advance of artificial intelligence. Visionary thought leaders call for a prudent approach.

As of late, the issue of AI algorithms facing a shortage of training data has been increasingly prevalent in the tech sphere. This depletion in available data sets poses a significant challenge for developers and researchers relying on robust and diverse information to train their artificial intelligence models effectively.

Crazy 8's is a core Design Sprint method. It is a fast sketching exercise that challenges people to sketch eight distinct ideas in eight minutes. The exercise "Crazy 8's" gets its name from the method of folding a paper into eight sections, with each section representing a unique idea. This approach was popularized by Jake Knapp, who is a design partner at Google Ventures. Since then, it has become widely recognized for its effectiveness in solving problems.

As much as a third of the world’s produce is wasted, costing the global economy a staggering US$1 trillion ($1.6t) a year. However, innovators are using artificial intelligence to fight back. We explore in this article how AI can be deployed to combat excess and maintain freshness in the supply chain.

How many times have we used an AI translation tool and have discovered that the translation did not make sense or was misunderstood? Why is it so difficult for AI Language translation to come up with the right match? Even though AI language translation tools have been incredibly useful helping with communicating across different languages; they face some challenges which we will explore further.
