Balancing AI and Personal Learning

Waffen Sultan2026-01-30T13:13:22+00:00

Why Balancing AI and Learning Matters Now For many, AI feels nothing short of magical. You give it a question, and within seconds it produces an answer. The once-familiar process of searching through multiple sources on Google and piercing them together into digestible information is long gone, replaced by instant AI-generated solutions. While this convenience has made learning more accessible, it has also made it easier to avoid the learning process itself. People are now faced with a subtle choice: to struggle through a problem or let AI do the work. As human nature often dictates, many take the easy [...]

The AI Risks Hiding in Plain Sight: OWASP’s Top 10 for LLMs

Ian Vergara2026-01-27T18:52:57+00:00

Large language models (LLMs) are transforming tech, but they also bring new security headaches. The OWASP Top 10 for LLMs highlights the biggest AI risks we should know about. In this guide, we explain each risk in simple terms, give everyday examples, and share quick safety tips. Whether you’re a developer or a casual tech user, this walkthrough will help you understand and avoid the most common AI pitfalls. Prompt Injection What it is: Prompt Injection happens when someone sneaks special instructions into an AI’s input so the model does something unintended. In other words, a user’s query tricks the AI [...]

AWS Vector Databases Explained: Semantic Search and RAG Systems

Dearah Mae Barsolasco2025-12-21T03:02:32+00:00

The generative AI (GenAI) revolution has transformed how organizations extract value from their data. While large language models (LLMs) demonstrate remarkable capabilities in understanding and generating human-like text, their true enterprise potential is unlocked only when they can access proprietary, domain-specific information. This necessity has propelled vector databases from a specialized niche into an essential pillar of modern AI infrastructure. But First, What Are Vector Databases? A vector database, as its name suggests, is a type of database designed to store, index, and efficiently search vector embeddings. These vectors are high-dimensional points that represent meaning. At its core, a vector [...]

High-Performing ≠ Massive: The Rise and Progression of Small Language Models (SLMs)

Have you ever needed to find a new charger for your device, only to discover that its voltage wasn’t compatible, causing it not to work or even risking damage? Without checking the actual needs of your device, you’ve probably thought that you could go with what the seller recommends as the “highest quality” rather than your device’s fitting needs. With the current utilization of AI for businesses, bigger doesn’t always mean better. Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT, Gemini, Claude, etc. have been in the spotlight for their high-performing power for computational tasks and content generation capabilities. But let’s be [...]

Chips & Brains: The Psychology of Human-AI Decision Making

Iñaki Manuel M. Flores2025-10-07T07:45:30+00:00

Your smartphone just recommended the perfect restaurant, your GPS avoided traffic seamlessly, and your bank approved a loan in seconds—all without human intervention. The speed at which AI operates is awe-inspiring. Yet when the same AI suggests a medical treatment or hiring decision, we suddenly hesitate. This contradiction reveals something fascinating: our relationship with artificial intelligence isn't just about technology; it is deeply psychological. Today's workplace is undergoing a silent revolution in which human intuition and algorithms clash, operate together, and occasionally fail catastrophically. AI technologist Kylan Gibbs and social psychologist Brian Lowery agreed in a recent TED talk that [...]
