Imagine your smart AI assistant needs a small "sip of water" every day - that sounds kind of funny, doesn't it? But in fact, some impressive AI systems and machine learning algorithms consume a considerable amount of water. This topic has so far remained rather obscure, but the German Informatics Society is now shedding more light on water - in the truest sense of the word. If you...

Yet another study that shows how ruthlessly our favourite digital platforms handle personal data? As if nobody would have guessed! But this time it's even more brazen: large amounts of data are being collected by AI collections and collecting everything that isn't nailed down. For us, this means: more convenience,...

Imagine you have a cool website and suddenly robots and AI crawlers come and read everything you have. Not fun, is it? This is exactly where Cloudflare, the great protector of the internet, steps in: Websites can now be protected from those pesky crawlers by default. But that's not all - AI companies can even be used for content scraping.

Honestly, who would have thought that Apple, the traditionalist tech giant, would suddenly change its tactics when it comes to voice assistants? Instead of continuing to rely on its own AI model for Siri, an external Large Language Model (LLM) is now to take over the work. It almost sounds as if Apple is unconventionally throwing its frustration with its own AI flops against the wall -...

If you've ever wondered why your AI is sometimes so chaotic or weird, it's usually because of the quality of the training data. This is exactly where the topic of data quality for AI training comes in - a topic that is currently gaining enormous importance. The German Federal Office for Information Security (BSI) has now even published a...

  Forget everything you've heard about electrical appliances and their short lifespan. The right to repair in Germany is about to turn everything on its head. It's about more freedom, better environmental protection goals and, of course, saving money. Sounds almost too good to be true? But it's not! If you already...

Ever heard of a mysterious rock band that's taking Spotify by storm - and that's not made by humans, but by artificial intelligence? That's exactly what's happening in the world of the AI-generated music industry. While music lovers are enjoying the catchy tune, many are asking themselves: are these really real musicians? Or have computers taken over? The...

If you're like me, you've probably tried to navigate the vast jungle of artificial intelligence. And while some only dream of big, all-encompassing AI solutions, today I want to talk to you about how you can develop customised AI solutions that really fit your project. Don't worry, it sounds complicated, it is...

I stumbled across a fascinating news story the other day during one of my daily online wanderings. It was about Microsoft and its new AI system, which plays an important role in the context of consumer protection. As a lover of technology and also a bit of a data protectionist, I was immediately curious. After all, the connection between big tech companies like Microsoft and consumer protection is a...

AI-based medical diagnostics - revolution from the computer? I recently stumbled across an article that almost knocked me off my chair. It was about an AI system that can supposedly make diagnoses much more accurately and even more cheaply than our human doctors. Sounds almost too good to be true, doesn't it? But that's exactly...
