Growth is a top priority for CEOs today, and as traditional avenues for driving growth, like market consolidation, outsourcing and cheap financing dry up, CEOs are looking to employee productivity to fuel success in 2025 and beyond.Discussions about productivity are seemingly everywhere and often with conflicting notions about whether employee productivity is actually increasing or decreasing. While there may not be agreement on the direction of productivity, most can agree that productivity is difficult for employers to define, measure and influence.Gartner determined, through extensive surveys and interviews, that the two critical elements of employee productivity are efficiency and value creation.…
Winery marketing teams are in overdrive these days—accelerating efforts to attract younger consumers, growing wine club membership and elevating tasting room and online interactions for prospective visitors and buyers. In the end, effective communication to meet these goals is a must. Many small and mid-sized wineries have staffing limitations that make providing quality tasting room experiences and handling call-ins while also attending to texts, emails and online orders a daunting challenge. Evgeny Bazhutov founded WineSpot AI to help wineries fill this gap. “Before launching our automated support app, we spent eight months researching the U.S. winery market to assess automation…
Determining how best to incorporate AI in your reporting can be daunting. For journalists and small newsrooms navigating tight deadlines and limited resources, harnessing AI tools to carry out time consuming tasks can be pivotal. For students developing a foundational skill set for future reporting careers, the technology can’t be ignored. Think of AI tools similarly to how you do common applications like Microsoft Excel or Adobe Photoshop: AI can help free up time, which you can in turn dedicate to more in-depth reporting, and more creative writing, visuals and marketing, among other perks. However, a 2024 survey by the…
Among the several companies that have had the opportunity to add Tesla Semi all-electric Class 8 trucks to their fleets earlier than others, the most notable is arguably Frito-Lay, which has utilized the vehicle for a couple of years now. However, as their fleet is making more local runs and there are undoubtedly plans to expand to more Semi units, the company has recognized it needs additional Megachargers to give juice to their trucks. As a result, Frit-Lay decided to build more chargers at their Bakersfield, California facility, according to new permits filed by Tesla: 🚨 Frito-Lay is building an…

Large language model (LLM) agents are increasingly employing retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) to improve the factuality of their responses. However, in practice, these systems often need to handle ambiguous user queries and potentially conflicting information from multiple sources while also suppressing inaccurate information from noisy or irrelevant documents. Prior work has generally studied and addressed these challenges in isolation, considering only one aspect at a time, such as handling ambiguity or robustness to noise and misinformation. We instead consider multiple factors simultaneously, proposing (i) RAMDocs (Retrieval with Ambiguity and Misinformation in Documents), a new dataset that simulates complex and realistic scenarios…
Emerging technology, when first being presented to the public-at-large, is bound to get people fearful and protective of the status quo. Such is the current case with AI and its practical application in multiple industries, particularly in the space of visual media arts, but rather than turn away, renowned filmmaker and technological innovator James Cameron is choosing to lean in. Last year, he joined the board of the generative AI company Stability AI and during a recent interview on the “Boz to the Future” podcast, he explained how the tech’s ability to shorten VFX workflow could truly be a game-changer…

One pressing question at the artificial-intelligence (AI) summit in Paris this week was this: is Mistral AI’s assistant a cat, or a chat? Called Le Chat and developed by a French startup as a competitor to ChatGPT, it launched as a smartphone app on February 6th. To the English speaker, Le Chat looks like a French twist on AI chat, which it conducts in English (and other languages). Yet at the jamboree President Emmanuel Macron plugged it using a soft “sh”, rendering Le Chat distinctly feline. Arthur Mensch, Mistral’s 32-year-old boss, says his baby is indeed four-legged. Look carefully at…
Startup Deep Cogito Inc. launched today with a series of language models that it claims can outperform comparably sized open-source alternatives. According to TechCrunch, the company was founded last June by former Google LLC staffers Drishan Arora and Dhruv Malhotra. Arora worked as a senior software engineer at the search giant. Malhotra, in turn, was a product manager at the Google DeepMind machine learning lab. The duo have raised an undisclosed amount of funding from South Park Commons. Deep Cogito’s lineup of open-source language models is known as the Cogito v1 series. The algorithms are available in five sizes ranging…
