The business and societal roles of Google and the wider search engine space set to evolve alongside generative AI tools
April 18, 2023 /Technology/ — Generative AI tools are set to revolutionize the search engine space. These tools can be used to generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way. They are still under development, but they have the potential to change the way we interact with search engines.
One of the biggest ways that generative AI tools are set to change the search engine space is by making it easier to find information. Currently, search engines are limited by the amount of information that is available online. Generative AI tools, on the other hand, can be used to generate new information on demand. This means that users will be able to find information that is more relevant to their needs and interests.

Prompt Engineering, the art of crafting effective instructions for AI models
April 18, 2023 /Technology/– Prompt engineering is the art (not science) of crafting effective instructions for AI models. It is a relatively new field, but it is quickly becoming an essential skill for anyone who wants to work with AI models.
Prompt engineering is important because AI models are not always able to understand what we want them to do. They are trained on large datasets of text and code, but they do not have the same understanding of language as humans do. This means that we need to be very careful when we give them instructions.

How does the UK Government’s Data Protection and Digital Information Bill impact the economy?
April 17, 2023 /Technology/ —The UK Government’s Data Protection and Digital Information Bill (DPID Bill) is a piece of legislation that aims to reform the UK’s data protection framework. The Bill is currently being debated in Parliament, and it is expected to be passed into law in 2023.
The DPID Bill has the potential to have a significant impact on the UK economy. On the one hand, the Bill could lead to increased compliance costs for businesses. This is because the Bill introduces a number of new requirements for businesses that process personal data, such as the need to conduct data protection impact assessments and to appoint a data protection officer.

Practical examples of combining Search Results with the Power of NLP (Natural Language Processing) and Semantic Knowledge
April 16, 2023 /Technology/ — We’ve all had that frustrating experience of trying to search for something and not finding the results we are after. By building systems that leverage NLP, we can infuse our systems with semantic knowledge and minimize this frustration for end users of our systems.
Free-text search can be limiting, requiring us to search using the exact set of keywords that have been indexed. To go beyond simple text matching requires an understanding of both the search intent and the semantic meaning of the words being searched.
Here are a few practical examples of combining search results with the power of NLP and semantic knowledge: Continue reading
