Data privacy and security in AI-driven testing

As AI-driven testing (ADT) becomes increasingly integral to software development, the importance of data privacy and security cannot be overstated. While AI brings numerous benefits, it also introduces new risks, particularly concerning intellectual property (IP) leakage, data permanence in AI models, and the need to protect the underlying structure of code.  The Shift in Perception: … continue reading

Survey reveals the usage and perception of AI in the overall workforce, beyond just the realm of software development

While many surveys on software developers have found that a majority of them are using AI to generate code, the story is different in the workforce overall. Zoho Corporation’s recently released Data Privacy and Generative AI Usage report reveals that only 24% of employees are using generative AI on a daily basis, and 37% said … continue reading

Sentence embedding technology in the age of artificial intelligence

Imagine searching for a crucial piece of information in a traditional search engine, only to be overwhelmed with thousands of irrelevant results. This limitation is especially problematic in critical industries like nuclear power, where precision and reliability are paramount. Enter sentence embeddings—a powerful, yet often overlooked technology that is set to transform how we access … continue reading

OSI releases latest draft of Open Source AI Definition

For the past two years, the Open Source Initiative (OSI) has been working on developing a definition for Open Source AI that the industry can use to determine which models are actually considered open, and it has a new draft of the definition to share as it nears the final release in October.  According to … continue reading

GitHub’s annual developer survey, which it launched for the first time last year, shows that a majority of developers (97%) have used an AI coding tool at some point, but perceptions of the technology vary country to country.  For its survey, GitHub surveyed 2,000 developers from the U.S., Brazil, Germany, and India, with an equal … continue reading

OpenAI launches fine-tuning for GPT-4o

Developers will now be able to fine-tune GPT-4o to get more customized responses that are suited to their unique needs. With fine-tuning, GPT-4o can be improved using custom datasets, resulting in better performance at a lower cost, according to OpenAI. For example, developers can use fine-tuning to customize the structure and tone of a GPT-4o … continue reading

Deepfakes: An existential threat to security emerges

For quite some time, discussion around the dangers of deepfakes were mostly rooted in the hypothetical — focusing on the question of how these tools could be used to cause harm, rather than real-world instances of misuse. However, it wasn’t long before some of those fears became realities. In January, a number of New Hampshire … continue reading

Codeium’s new Cortex assistant utilizes complex reasoning engine for coding help

Codeium has announced a new AI assistant called Cortex that uses complex reasoning capabilities to solve difficult coding problems.  Rather than enabling smaller, individual tasks such as autocomplete or code completion like existing code assistants, Cortex supports large scale reasoning, code generation, reviews, and knowledge transfer, with greater accuracy, lower latency, and reduced costs.  According … continue reading

Anthropic introduces prompt caching to reduce latency and costs

Anthropic has introduced a new feature to some of its Claude models that will allow developers to cut down on prompt costs and latency. Prompt caching allows users to cache frequently used context so that it can be used in future API calls. According to the company, by equipping the model with background knowledge and … continue reading

Google begins rolling out voice capabilities in Gemini with Gemini Live

Google is trying to make its AI assistant Gemini more useful by adding a conversation mode called Gemini Live, similar to how conversations in ChatGPT work. Gemini Live has a voice mode, so that users can speak their questions out loud rather than typing. This voice mode works even when the app is in the … continue reading

Open Model Initiative now hosted by Linux Foundation

The Linux Foundation is making it easier for developers to find open-source AI models by hosting the Open Model Initiative (OMI). The OMI was first launched earlier this summer by Invoke, CivitAI, and Comfy Org as a way to help creators find models that don’t have restrictive licenses.  “From the beginning, we have believed that … continue reading
