In my , I have spent a lot of time talking about the technical aspects of an Image Classification problem from data collection, model evaluation, performance optimization, and a detailed look at model training. These elements require a certain degree of in-depth expertise, and they (usually) have well-defined metrics and established processes that are within our control. Now it’s time to …

Detecting signs of this debilitating disease with AI before any bones start to break Melissa Formosa is an osteoporosis expert at the University of Malta in Msida. She shares her AlphaFold story. Right now, medicine is too dependent on radiographic imaging techniques for diagnosing osteoporosis. It can be a debilitating disease that develops slowly over …
ContentsI’ve been fascinated by debates—the strategic framing, the sharp retorts, and the carefully timed comebacks. Debates aren’t just entertaining; they’re structured battles of ideas, driven by logic and evidence. Recently, I started wondering: could we replicate that dynamic using AI agents—having them debate each other autonomously, complete with real-time fact-checking and moderation? The result was …
