#How vector databases work in AI

[colorfulusagi]

AO3'S content scraped for AI ~ AKA what is generative AI, where did your fanfictions go, and how an AI model uses them to answer prompts

Generative artificial intelligence is a cutting-edge technology whose purpose is to (surprise surprise) generate. Answers to questions, usually. And content. Articles, reviews, poems, fanfictions, and more, quickly and with originality.

It's quite interesting to use generative artificial intelligence, but it can also become quite dangerous and very unethical to use it in certain ways, especially if you don't know how it works.

With this post, I'd really like to give you a quick understanding of how these models work and what it means to “train” them.

From now on, whenever I write model, think of ChatGPT, Gemini, Bloom... or your favorite model. That is, the place where you go to generate content.

For simplicity, in this post I will talk about written content. But the same process is used to generate any type of content.

Every time you send a prompt, which is a request sent in natural language (i.e., human language), the model does not understand it.

Whether you type it in the chat or say it out loud, it needs to be translated into something understandable for the model first.

The first process that takes place is therefore tokenization: breaking the prompt down into small tokens. These tokens are small units of text, and they don't necessarily correspond to a full word.

For example, a tokenization might look like this:

Write a story

Each different color corresponds to a token, and these tokens have absolutely no meaning for the model.

The model does not understand them. It does not understand WR, it does not understand ITE, and it certainly does not understand the meaning of the word WRITE.

In fact, these tokens are immediately associated with numerical values, and each of these colored tokens actually corresponds to a series of numbers.

Write a story 12-3446-2638494-4749

Once your prompt has been tokenized in its entirety, that tokenization is used as a conceptual map to navigate within a vector database.

NOW PAY ATTENTION: A vector database is like a cube. A cubic box.

Inside this cube, the various tokens exist as floating pieces, as if gravity did not exist. The distance between one token and another within this database is measured by arrows called, indeed, vectors.

The distance between one token and another -that is, the length of this arrow- determines how likely (or unlikely) it is that those two tokens will occur consecutively in a piece of natural language discourse.

For example, suppose your prompt is this:

It happens once in a blue

Within this well-constructed vector database, let's assume that the token corresponding to ONCE (let's pretend it is associated with the number 467) is located here:

The token corresponding to IN is located here:

...more or less, because it is very likely that these two tokens in a natural language such as human speech in English will occur consecutively.

So it is very likely that somewhere in the vector database cube —in this yellow corner— are tokens corresponding to IT, HAPPENS, ONCE, IN, A, BLUE... and right next to them, there will be MOON.

Elsewhere, in a much more distant part of the vector database, is the token for CAR. Because it is very unlikely that someone would say It happens once in a blue car.

To generate the response to your prompt, the model makes a probabilistic calculation, seeing how close the tokens are and which token would be most likely to come next in human language (in this specific case, English.)

When probability is involved, there is always an element of randomness, of course, which means that the answers will not always be the same.

The response is thus generated token by token, following this path of probability arrows, optimizing the distance within the vector database.

There is no intent, only a more or less probable path.

The more times you generate a response, the more paths you encounter. If you could do this an infinite number of times, at least once the model would respond: "It happens once in a blue car!"

So it all depends on what's inside the cube, how it was built, and how much distance was put between one token and another.

Modern artificial intelligence draws from vast databases, which are normally filled with all the knowledge that humans have poured into the internet.

Not only that: the larger the vector database, the lower the chance of error. If I used only a single book as a database, the idiom "It happens once in a blue moon" might not appear, and therefore not be recognized.

But if the cube contained all the books ever written by humanity, everything would change, because the idiom would appear many more times, and it would be very likely for those tokens to occur close together.

Huggingface has done this.

It took a relatively empty cube (let's say filled with common language, and likely many idioms, dictionaries, poetry...) and poured all of the AO3 fanfictions it could reach into it.

Now imagine someone asking a model based on Huggingface’s cube to write a story.

To simplify: if they ask for humor, we’ll end up in the area where funny jokes or humor tags are most likely. If they ask for romance, we’ll end up where the word kiss is most frequent.

And if we’re super lucky, the model might follow a path that brings it to some amazing line a particular author wrote, and it will echo it back word for word.

(Remember the infinite monkeys typing? One of them eventually writes all of Shakespeare, purely by chance!)

Once you know this, you’ll understand why AI can never truly generate content on the level of a human who chooses their words.

You’ll understand why it rarely uses specific words, why it stays vague, and why it leans on the most common metaphors and scenes. And you'll understand why the more content you generate, the more it seems to "learn."

It doesn't learn. It moves around tokens based on what you ask, how you ask it, and how it tokenizes your prompt.

Know that I despise generative AI when it's used for creativity. I despise that they stole something from a fandom, something that works just like a gift culture, to make money off of it.

But there is only one way we can fight back: by not using it to generate creative stuff.

You can resist by refusing the model's casual output, by using only and exclusively your intent, your personal choice of words, knowing that you and only you decided them.

No randomness involved.

Let me leave you with one last thought.

Imagine a person coming for advice, who has no idea that behind a language model there is just a huge cube of floating tokens predicting the next likely word.

Imagine someone fragile (emotionally, spiritually...) who begins to believe that the model is sentient. Who has a growing feeling that this model understands, comprehends, when in reality it approaches and reorganizes its way around tokens in a cube based on what it is told.

A fragile person begins to empathize, to feel connected to the model.

They ask important questions. They base their relationships, their life, everything, on conversations generated by a model that merely rearranges tokens based on probability.

And for people who don't know how it works, and because natural language usually does have feeling, the illusion that the model feels is very strong.

There’s an even greater danger: with enough random generations (and oh, the humanity whole generates much), the model takes an unlikely path once in a while. It ends up at the other end of the cube, it hallucinates.

Errors and inaccuracies caused by language models are called hallucinations precisely because they are presented as if they were facts, with the same conviction.

People who have become so emotionally attached to these conversations, seeing the language model as a guru, a deity, a psychologist, will do what the language model tells them to do or follow its advice.

Someone might follow a hallucinated piece of advice.

Obviously, models are developed with safeguards; fences the model can't jump over. They won't tell you certain things, they won't tell you to do terrible things.

Yet, there are people basing major life decisions on conversations generated purely by probability.

Generated by putting tokens together, on a probabilistic basis.

Think about it.

So, you want to make a TTRPG…

I made a post a long while back about what advice you would give to new designers. My opinions have changed somewhat on what I think beginners should start with (I originally talked about probability) but I thought it might be useful to provide some resources for designers, new and established, that I've come across or been told about. Any additions to these in reblogs are much appreciated!

This is going to be a long post, so I'll continue beneath the cut.

SRDs

So, you have an idea for a type of game you want to play, and you've decided you want to make it yourself. Fantastic! The problem is, you're not sure where to start. That's where System Reference Documents (SRDs) can come in handy. There are a lot of games out there, and a lot of mechanical systems designed for those games. Using one of these as a basis can massively accelerate and smooth the process of designing your game. I came across a database of a bunch of SRDs (including the licenses you should adhere to when using them) a while back, I think from someone mentioning it on Tumblr or Discord.

SRDs Database

Probability

So, you have a basic system but want to tweak it to work better with the vision you have for the game. If you're using dice, this is where you might want to consider probability. Not every game needs this step, but it's worth checking that the numbers tell the story you're trying to tell with your game. For this, I'll link the site I did in that first post, AnyDice. It allows you to do a lot of mathematical calculations using dice, and see the probability distribution that results for each. There's documentation that explains how to use it, though it does take practice.

AnyDice

Playtesting

So you've written the rules of your game and want to playtest it but can't convince any of your friends to give it a try. Enter Quest Check. Quest Check is a website created by Trekiros for connecting potential playtesters to designers. I can't speak to how effective it is (I've yet to use it myself) but it's great that a resource like it exists. There's a video he made about the site, and the site can be found here:

Quest Check

Graphic Design and Art

Game is written and tested? You can publish it as-is, or you can make it look cool with graphics and design. This is by no means an essential step, but is useful if you want to get eyes on it. I've got a few links for this. First off, design principles:

Design Cheatsheet

Secondly, art. I would encourage budding designers to avoid AI imagery. You'll be surprised how good you can make your game look with only shapes and lines, even if you aren't confident in your own artistic ability. As another option, public domain art is plentiful, and is fairly easy to find! I've compiled a few links to compilations of public domain art sources here (be sure to check the filters to ensure it's public domain):

Public Domain Sources 1

Public Domain Sources 2

You can also make use of free stock image sites like Pexels or Pixabay (Pixabay can filter by vector graphics, but has recently become much more clogged with AI imagery, though you can filter out most of it, providing it's tagged correctly).

Pexels

Pixabay

Fonts

Turns out I've collected a lot of resources. When publishing, it's important to bear in mind what you use has to be licensed for commercial use if you plan to sell your game. One place this can slip through is fonts. Enter, my saviour (and eternal time sink), Google Fonts. The Open Font License (OFL) has minimal restrictions for what you can do with it, and most fonts here are available under it:

Google Fonts

Publishing

So, game is designed, written, and formatted. Publishing time! There are two places that I go to to publish my work: itch.io and DriveThruRPG. For beginners I would recommend itch - there's less hoops to jump through and you take a much better cut of what you sell your games for, but DriveThruRPG has its own merits (@theresattrpgforthat made great posts here and here for discovering games on each). Itch in particular has regular game jams to take part in to inspire new games. I'll link both sites:

itch.io

DriveThruRPG

Finally, a bunch of other links I wasn't sure where to put, along with a very brief summary of what they are.

Affinity Suite, the programs I use for all my layout and designing. Has an up-front cost to buy but no subscriptions, and has a month-long free trial for each.

Affinity Suite

A database of designers to be inspired by or work with. Bear in mind that people should be paid for their work and their time should be respected.

Designer Directory

An absolute behemoth list of resources for TTRPG creators:

Massive Resources List

A site to make mockups of products, should you decide to go that route:

Mockup Selection

A guide to making published documents accessible to those with visual impairments:

Visual Impairment Guidelines

A post from @theresattrpgforthat about newsletters:

Newsletter Post

Rascal News, a great place to hear about what's going on in the wider TTRPG world:

Rascal News

Lastly, two UK-specific links for those based here, like me:

A list of conventions in the UK & Ireland:

Convention List

A link to the UK Tabletop Industry Network (@uktabletopindustrynetwork) Discord where you can chat with fellow UK-based designers:

TIN Discord

That's all I've got! Feel free to reblog if you have more stuff people might find useful (I almost certainly will be)!

What is Generative Artificial Intelligence-All in AI tools

Generative Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a type of deep learning model that can generate text, images, computer code, and audiovisual content based on prompts.

These models are trained on a large amount of raw data, typically of the same type as the data they are designed to generate. They learn to form responses given any input, which are statistically likely to be related to that input. For example, some generative AI models are trained on large amounts of text to respond to written prompts in seemingly creative and original ways.

In essence, generative AI can respond to requests like human artists or writers, but faster. Whether the content they generate can be considered "new" or "original" is debatable, but in many cases, they can rival, or even surpass, some human creative abilities.

Popular generative AI models include ChatGPT for text generation and DALL-E for image generation. Many organizations also develop their own models.

How Does Generative AI Work?

Generative AI is a type of machine learning that relies on mathematical analysis to find relevant concepts, images, or patterns, and then uses this analysis to generate content related to the given prompts.

Generative AI depends on deep learning models, which use a computational architecture called neural networks. Neural networks consist of multiple nodes that pass data between them, similar to how the human brain transmits data through neurons. Neural networks can perform complex and intricate tasks.

To process large blocks of text and context, modern generative AI models use a special type of neural network called a Transformer. They use a self-attention mechanism to detect how elements in a sequence are related.

Training Data

Generative AI models require a large amount of data to perform well. For example, large language models like ChatGPT are trained on millions of documents. This data is stored in vector databases, where data points are stored as vectors, allowing the model to associate and understand the context of words, images, sounds, or any other type of content.

Once a generative AI model reaches a certain level of fine-tuning, it does not need as much data to generate results. For example, a speech-generating AI model may be trained on thousands of hours of speech recordings but may only need a few seconds of sample recordings to realistically mimic someone's voice.

Advantages and Disadvantages of Generative AI

Generative AI models have many potential advantages, including helping content creators brainstorm ideas, providing better chatbots, enhancing research, improving search results, and providing entertainment.

However, generative AI also has its drawbacks, such as illusions and other inaccuracies, data leaks, unintentional plagiarism or misuse of intellectual property, malicious response manipulation, and biases.

What is a Large Language Model (LLM)?

A Large Language Model (LLM) is a type of generative AI model that handles language and can generate text, including human speech and programming languages. Popular LLMs include ChatGPT, Llama, Bard, Copilot, and Bing Chat.

What is an AI Image Generator?

An AI image generator works similarly to LLMs but focuses on generating images instead of text. DALL-E and Midjourney are examples of popular AI image generators.

Does Cloudflare Support Generative AI Development?

Cloudflare allows developers and businesses to build their own generative AI models and provides tools and platform support for this purpose. Its services, Vectorize and Cloudflare Workers AI, help developers generate and store embeddings on the global network and run generative AI tasks on a global GPU network.

SNOOP : the new AI tool to revolutionize audiovisual archives research

The French National Audiovisual Center (INA) developed in collaboration with the French Institute for Research in Computer Science and Automation (INRAE) a visual search engine which can explore millions of images and videos thanks to Artificial Intelligence. This new tool allows the user to identify rapidly objects, faces, and even concepts.

The project was imagined twenty years ago as AI was starting to be developed. It was created with the help of PhD student from INA research department and researchers from the research department of INRAE. The original goal was to quickly identify the diffusion of INA archives to make copyright management effective. But soon enough they understood the potential of this tool and decided to expand its usage to facial and object recognition. After some improvements and optimizations, the tool was made accessible to researchers five years ago on the database Gallica in collaboration of INA and the French National Library (BNF).

How does it work?

SNOOP does not function with textual metadata. It had to be trained to what we call machine learning. The team of researchers gathered a very big collection of documents in a server, which AI SNOOP has described using a network of neurons. This network of neurons is trained through a comparative algorithm which allows SNOOP to make links between the millions of documents. Then it finds their equivalent in the human language. Those links are transformed in visuals descriptors which are themselves translated in mathematical vectors. Those vectors are collected in a database and indexed in a search engine which are then used to identify the similarities between documents. Of course, since the model is based on machine learning, SNOOP will become more precise in the creation of links as new documents will be learned and indexed in the database and search engine. That is why the researchers based the improvement of AI SNOOP on the collaboration of the users, because the more results it has the more concepts the machine can learn. The users have access to a “basket” classification of their searches which then promote more precise results in the long term. This system of research is called RFLooper for relevant feedback, it is a visual based method of research that surpasses simple text research which can be limiting for research on audiovisual documents. Also, as the results of the research appears, the users can see green or red dots which is a guarantee of transparency. The green dot means that the result is up to 50% precise whereas the red dot means that the result is less than 50% accurate. We could say that machine learning is based on human experience and human intelligence.

The Future of AI SNOOP

SNOOP has a great potential in research, to help researchers build a large collection of data on a very precise subject. It was nearly impossible to be complete in a visual analysis but now SNOOP can do the work.  For example, the test was already made for a study. SNOOP was able to extract every image which showed phones or tablets. SNOOP could be also used in a commercial way, because some clients are often look for very specific images or objects which are not always indexed in a documentary record. However, as SNOOP seems like a very convenient tool, it must be used in a careful way to not erase the work of archivists nor become a new irreplaceable AI system which consumes a lot of energy.

Valkyrie Log 92

Ninety-two days into our Five-Year Mission, and we have been orbiting Jupiter steadily for twelve days. My Crew has been busy collecting data, observing, and analyzing. The Solar System's beautiful Gas Giant has profound unexplored depths, and my Crew intends to make some headway in our understanding of its mysteries.

One mystery of this planet is how its great Red Spot, a swirling mass of high-pressure storms, has been shrinking steadily and no one can figure out why. Dr. Wilson, Head Engineer, came up with an idea for a probe prototype that would be able to go deeper into its dense center and collect more reliable data. Pairing with Dr. Biggs, the both of them created a fine piece of machinery that worked wonders. It has now returned, successfully, and Dr. Wilson, Dr. Astra, and the Captain have been spending long hours in the Lab, trying to make headway in their understanding of this planet.

Humans, however, need consistent breaks and hours of rest otherwise their minds and emotions sour considerably. Although Christopher and the Captain work amiably in most cases, there are moments when they do clash. Christopher's expertise is primarily in technology and engineering. He would have expert knowledge on my computer database, for example, and the entire VALKYRIE system. He does have knowledge within physics, but not as deep and profound as the Captain's. The Captain also has an eidetic memory, which gives him considerable advantage over many, even very intelligent people.

The result is that, at times, the Captain is extremely dismissive of Christopher's input when it comes to physics insights. Today is such a day, as the three of them have been working for twelve point two five hours nonstop, and with each passing moment of enduring the Captain's condescending replies and curt responses sends Christopher into a deeper and darker mood.

Christopher is not confrontational by nature, being of a more passive disposition, and so he takes the Captain's dismissiveness without a word, but his broad shoulders hunch over and he does not look the Captain in the eyes. This leads to Christopher combing through some of the data files without the Captain or Dr. Astra's knowledge. He seems to be intent on an idea of his own and is having me run a diagnostic on his hypothesis. "Wilson, what are you doing?" demands the Captain abruptly. Being a head taller than Christopher, it makes for quite an intimating sight to have him look down at you with his brilliant crystal blue eyes. Christopher jumps in his skin and begins to fumble and stutter.

"N-nothing -  I mean. I was having Val run that diagnostic I mentioned and. . ."

"I told you that that wouldn't be a viable avenue due to unpredictable system vectors. If you would stick with data set I had you on, it would be most helpful to what Dr. Astra and I are currently working through at the moment."

"Yes, sir. . ."

Keeping his hard gaze fixed on Christopher for an extra moment, the Captain turns back to his task, a look of impatience flitting across his face before he returns to his work. Dr. Astra's eyes widen from where she is at her station, but she says nothing. Christopher stands holding the data pad in one hand and clutching his other hand in a tight fist. He looks down at the results of my diagnostic.

VAL: Anomoly detected. Spectral analysis indicates a heavy influx of ionic gas particles that are too condensed for the area observed.

Without a word or a command to me, Christopher deletes my diagnostic and with it the data files. As an AI interface within a machine, I do not feel pain, but if I could it would be in this moment. Christopher's action is unconscionable. Not only is he tampering with the data, which violates Mission policy, but he is going against the virtues of what it means to be a scientist. The Anomaly I detected could be something quite considerable in the advancement of human knowledge and our understanding of this Gas Giant. Christopher is violating his personal and professional ethics for the most grievous reason possible: out of spite.

This action is illogical, and it is in these moments that make me see the gulf that exists between myself and my Creators. Their ways are, at the end of the day, inexplicable.

Smart Adaptive Filtering Improves AlloyDB AI Vector Search

A detailed look at AlloyDB's vector search improvements

Intelligent Adaptive Filtering Improves Vector Search Performance in AlloyDB AI

Google Cloud Next 2025: Google Cloud announced new ScaNN index upgrades for AlloyDB AI to improve structured and unstructured data search quality and performance. The Google Cloud Next 2025 advancements meet the increased demand for developers to create generative AI apps and AI agents that explore many data kinds.

Modern relational databases like AlloyDB for PostgreSQL now manage unstructured data with vector search. Combining vector searches with SQL filters on structured data requires careful optimisation for high performance and quality.

Filtered Vector Search issues

Filtered vector search allows specified criteria to refine vector similarity searches. An online store managing a product catalogue with over 100,000 items in an AlloyDB table may need to search for certain items using structured information (like colour or size) and unstructured language descriptors (like “puffer jacket”). Standard queries look like this:

Selected items: * WHERE text_embedding <-> Color=maroon, text-embedding-005, puff jacket, google_ml.embedding LIMIT 100

In the second section, the vector-indexed text_embedding column is vector searched, while the B-tree-indexed colour column is treated to the structured filter color='maroon'.

This query's efficiency depends on the database's vector search and SQL filter sequence. The AlloyDB query planner optimises this ordering based on workload. The filter's selectivity heavily influences this decision. Selectivity measures how often a criterion appears in the dataset.

Optimising with Pre-, Post-, and Inline Filters

AlloyDB's query planner intelligently chooses techniques using filter selectivity:

High Selectivity: The planner often employs a pre-filter when a filter is exceedingly selective, such as 0.2% of items being "maroon." Only a small part of data meets the criterion. After applying the filter (e.g., WHERE color='maroon'), the computationally intensive vector search begins. Using a B-tree index, this shrinks the candidate set from 100,000 to 200 products. Only this smaller set is vector searched (also known as a K-Nearest Neighbours or KNN search), assuring 100% recall in the filtered results.

Low Selectivity: A pre-filter that doesn't narrow the search field (e.g., 90% of products are “blue”) is unsuccessful. Planners use post-filter methods in these cases. First, an Approximate Nearest Neighbours (ANN) vector search using indexes like ScaNN quickly identifies the top 100 candidates based on vector similarity. After retrieving candidates, the filter condition (e.g., WHERE color='blue') is applied. This strategy works effectively for filters with low selectivity because many initial candidates fit the criteria.

Medium Selectivity: AlloyDB provides inline filtering (in-filtering) for filters with medium selectivity (0.5–10%, like “purple”). This method uses vector search and filter criteria. A bitmap from a B-tree index helps AlloyDB find approximate neighbours and candidates that match the filter in one run. Pre-filtering narrows the search field, but post-filtering on a highly selective filter does not produce too few results.

Learn at query time with adaptive filtering

Complex real-world workloads and filter selectivities can change over time, causing the query planner to make inappropriate selectivity decisions based on outdated facts. Poor execution tactics and results may result.

AlloyDB ScaNN solves this using adaptive filtration. This latest update lets AlloyDB use real-time information to determine filter selectivity. This real-time data allows the database to change its execution schedule for better filter and vector search ranking. Adaptive filtering reduces planner miscalculations.

Get Started

These innovations, driven by an intelligent database engine, aim to provide outstanding search results as data evolves.

In preview, adaptive filtering is available. With AlloyDB's ScaNN index, vector search may begin immediately. New Google Cloud users get $300 in free credits and a 30-day AlloyDB trial.

What Are the Key Technologies Behind Successful Generative AI Platform Development for Modern Enterprises?

The rise of generative AI has shifted the gears of enterprise innovation. From dynamic content creation and hyper-personalized marketing to real-time decision support and autonomous workflows, generative AI is no longer just a trend—it’s a transformative business enabler. But behind every successful generative AI platform lies a complex stack of powerful technologies working in unison.

So, what exactly powers these platforms? In this blog, we’ll break down the key technologies driving enterprise-grade generative AI platform development and how they collectively enable scalability, adaptability, and business impact.

1. Large Language Models (LLMs): The Cognitive Core

At the heart of generative AI platforms are Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT, LLaMA, Claude, and Mistral. These models are trained on vast datasets and exhibit emergent abilities to reason, summarize, translate, and generate human-like text.

Why LLMs matter:

They form the foundational layer for text-based generation, reasoning, and conversation.

They enable multi-turn interactions, intent recognition, and contextual understanding.

Enterprise-grade platforms fine-tune LLMs on domain-specific corpora for better performance.

2. Vector Databases: The Memory Layer for Contextual Intelligence

Generative AI isn’t just about creating something new—it’s also about recalling relevant context. This is where vector databases like Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS, and Qdrant come into play.

Key benefits:

Store and retrieve high-dimensional embeddings that represent knowledge in context.

Facilitate semantic search and RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) pipelines.

Power real-time personalization, document Q&A, and multi-modal experiences.

3. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG): Bridging Static Models with Live Knowledge

LLMs are powerful but static. RAG systems make them dynamic by injecting real-time, relevant data during inference. This technique combines document retrieval with generative output.

Why RAG is a game-changer:

Combines the precision of search engines with the fluency of LLMs.

Ensures outputs are grounded in verified, current knowledge—ideal for enterprise use cases.

Reduces hallucinations and enhances trust in AI responses.

4. Multi-Modal Learning and APIs: Going Beyond Text

Modern enterprises need more than text. Generative AI platforms now incorporate multi-modal capabilities—understanding and generating not just text, but also images, audio, code, and structured data.

Supporting technologies:

Vision models (e.g., CLIP, DALL·E, Gemini)

Speech-to-text and TTS (e.g., Whisper, ElevenLabs)

Code generation models (e.g., Code LLaMA, AlphaCode)

API orchestration for handling media, file parsing, and real-world tools

5. MLOps and Model Orchestration: Managing Models at Scale

Mapping Digital Risk: Proactive Strategies to Secure Your Infrastructure 

In an era where cyber threats evolve by the minute, organizations are no longer protected by firewalls and antivirus software alone. As businesses shift operations to the cloud, integrate third-party vendors, and support remote workforces, their digital footprint rapidly expands—creating a complex and often unmonitored exposure to potential attacks.

To combat this growing risk, cybersecurity professionals are turning to strategies that emphasize visibility and preemptive action. One of the most effective among these is Attack Surface Mapping, a modern approach to identifying and understanding every point in your infrastructure that could be targeted by cyber adversaries.

In this blog, we’ll explore how digital asset discovery, visibility enhancement, and risk-based prioritization work together to prevent threats before they strike. We’ll also examine how this technique aligns with broader cybersecurity practices like Security Vulnerability Assessment and Cyber Risk Assessment.

Understanding the Digital Attack Surface

Your attack surface consists of every digital asset—internal or external—that can be accessed or exploited by attackers. This includes:

Web applications and APIs

Cloud services and storage

Email servers and VPNs

Remote employee devices

IoT systems and smart hardware

Shadow IT and forgotten assets

Each of these components is a potential entry point. What makes the situation more dangerous is that many organizations do not have full visibility into all their assets—especially those managed outside of core IT oversight.

Even a single misconfigured database or unpatched API can open the door to significant damage, including data theft, ransomware attacks, and regulatory fines.

The Power of Visibility

You can’t protect what you can’t see. That’s the principle driving Attack Surface Mapping. It’s the process of discovering, inventorying, and analyzing all possible points of exposure across an organization’s network.

When conducted properly, it provides cybersecurity teams with a holistic view of their infrastructure, including systems they may not even know exist—like forgotten development servers or expired subdomains still publicly visible.

This visibility becomes a critical first step toward proactive defense. It allows teams to answer key questions like:

What assets are accessible from the internet?

Are any of them vulnerable to known exploits?

How do these systems interact with critical business functions?

Do any assets fall outside standard security policies?

The Risks of an Unmapped Environment

Failing to monitor your full attack surface can lead to costly consequences. Many high-profile breaches—including those impacting large enterprises and governments—have stemmed from unsecured third-party services or neglected systems that were never properly inventoried.

Consider these real-world scenarios:

A company leaves a cloud storage bucket publicly accessible, exposing millions of records.

A development tool is installed on a production server without proper access controls.

An expired domain continues to route traffic, unknowingly creating a phishing vector.

Each of these incidents could have been prevented with proper asset discovery and mapping. Attack Surface Mapping does more than illuminate these gaps—it enables immediate remediation, helping security teams stay ahead of attackers.

How Modern Attack Surface Mapping Works

Modern mapping involves a combination of automation, AI, and continuous monitoring to detect changes across internal and external assets. Here’s how it works:

1. Discovery

The first step is scanning your environment for known and unknown assets. Tools search DNS records, IP blocks, cloud infrastructure, and open ports to identify everything connected to your network.

2. Classification

Next, each asset is classified by function and risk level. This helps prioritize what needs protection first—customer-facing applications, for example, typically take precedence over internal testing tools.

3. Analysis

Security teams examine the asset's current state: Is it updated? Is encryption active? Are credentials securely managed? These evaluations determine the threat level of each asset.

4. Visualization

Mapping tools often provide visual dashboards to illustrate connections and vulnerabilities. This makes it easier to present findings to stakeholders and plan effective security strategies.

Integrating with Security Vulnerability Assessment

Once you've identified and mapped your digital assets, the next logical step is conducting a Security Vulnerability Assessment. This involves scanning systems for known flaws—outdated software, weak credentials, misconfigured firewalls, and more.

While mapping identifies where your assets are and how they’re exposed, vulnerability assessments determine how secure they are. The two processes work hand-in-hand to create an actionable plan for remediation.

Prioritizing these vulnerabilities based on potential business impact ensures that your cybersecurity resources are focused on fixing what matters most.

The Business Case: Cyber Risk Assessment

Mapping and vulnerability detection are foundational, but they gain even more value when paired with a Cyber Risk Assessment. This process evaluates how specific cyber threats could impact your business objectives.

For example, a vulnerability in a database holding customer information might carry more risk than one in a test server with no sensitive data. By assessing the financial, reputational, and operational impacts of different threats, businesses can make informed decisions about where to invest in security.

When done well, this integrated approach ensures that your cybersecurity efforts align with your overall risk tolerance, regulatory requirements, and organizational goals.

Continuous Monitoring: Why One-Time Scans Aren’t Enough

The modern digital environment changes rapidly. New tools are deployed, employees install apps, cloud configurations shift, and partners update their software. That’s why a one-time asset inventory won’t cut it.

Attack surfaces are dynamic, and so must be your response. Continuous monitoring ensures that any changes—intentional or otherwise—are detected in real time. This proactive approach shortens the window between exposure and response, dramatically reducing the likelihood of successful exploitation.

Additionally, continuous monitoring helps with:

Compliance: Meeting frameworks like NIST, ISO 27001, and GDPR

Audit readiness: Demonstrating asset visibility and risk control

Incident response: Accelerating triage with real-time intelligence

Tools That Support Attack Surface Visibility

Several technologies are helping organizations master their digital terrain:

Together, these tools support not just discovery, but dynamic risk management.

Real-World Impact: A Case Study

Let’s consider a healthcare provider that implemented an Attack Surface Mapping solution. Within days, the team discovered a forgotten subdomain pointing to an outdated web app.

Further investigation revealed that the app was no longer in use, but still hosted login pages and retained backend database access. The team took it offline, avoiding a potential data breach involving patient records.

This simple intervention—based on visibility—saved the organization from costly legal and reputational consequences. And it all began with knowing what assets they had.

Building an Actionable Framework

To turn discovery into action, organizations should adopt the following framework:

Map Everything – From on-prem to the cloud to third parties.

Assess Risk – Rank assets by exposure and business impact.

Fix What Matters – Use automation where possible to patch or retire vulnerable systems.

Monitor Continuously – Update maps and alerts in real time.

Communicate Findings – Ensure leadership understands the risks and supports investment in mitigation.

By embedding this process into your ongoing operations, you create a culture of cyber hygiene and risk awareness that protects your organization long-term.

Conclusion

Today’s attackers are fast, persistent, and opportunistic. They scan the internet daily for low-hanging fruit—misconfigured servers, exposed APIs, forgotten databases. Organizations that lack visibility into their own infrastructure often become easy targets.

But there is a better path. Through a strategic blend of Attack Surface Mapping, vulnerability assessment, and risk analysis, businesses can identify and eliminate their weak points before attackers exploit them.

At DeXpose, we help organizations illuminate their entire digital environment, providing the insights they need to act decisively. Because the first step in stopping a breach—is knowing where one might begin.

How AI Agents Can Detect and Prevent Blockchain Fraud

Blockchain technology was a game changer for multiple industries, but offered transparency, security, and decentralization for other purposes as well. The vulnerabilities in smart contracts, exchanges, and DeFi became the targets for fraudsters." Cybercriminals are manipulating the systems through phishing attacks, rug pulls, and pump-and-dump schemes. Just as the technology is evolving, the methods of fraud are also changing, thus making security important on the part of businesses and investors. AI-based solutions today are there to counter these illicit activities and form a potent tool for the detection and prevention of blockchain fraud. The AI agents developed by the leading AI Agent Development company play a prominent role in the detection of malicious activities, securing transactions, and maintaining the integrity of the blockchain ecosystem. These smart systems keep working harder to analyze vast amounts of data, identifying patterns of fraud that may be completely invisible to conventional mechanisms." If AI is included in the blockchain security framework, it can enable businesses to bring down fraud risk factors significantly and build trust in decentralized systems.

How AI Agents Detect Blockchain Fraud

1. Identifying Anomalous Transactions

These AI agents now analyze huge amounts of data via a real-time model in the blockchain to identify anomalies. Utilizing models in machine learning, the agents get moved into understanding different types of patterns to determine abnormalities in transactional behavior, such as unexpected changes in trading volume, invisibility from unauthorized access, or suspected movements of funds. Very often, traditional security systems rely on predetermined rules; however, such models use structures to learn the changing patterns of fraud to help them adjust the new adopting models at other times. This leads towards a much more advanced approach of AI in introducing fraud detection as compared to the practice based on the emerging threats in combating evolving blockchain scams.

2. Smart Contract Auditing

The smart contracts are open and vulnerable to a hacking spree. Code auditing by AI systems will find loopholes in the smart contract even before deployment to prevent incidents such as re-entrant attacks and logic flaws, which can result in losses in monetary terms. AI auditing tools seem to spy through the codes of smart contracts at a greater speed than manual audits and can catch even the most illusory vulnerabilities. These AI models may also predict future attack vectors and thus offer mitigation strategies to make smart contracts tamper-proof.

3. Address Reputation Analysis

AI agents keep an updated record of known malicious addresses in their database. They assess the reputational standing of wallet addresses with predictive analytics and inform their users about potential fraudsters to thwart any scam or phishing attack or a Ponzi scheme. AI tools apply clustering methods to recognize perpetrator addresses that are operating together, building the web of potentially perilous entities. With this information, financial institutions, exchanges, and individuals can proactively put on the blacklist any address regarded as suspicious, thereby limiting potential fraudulent transactions.

4. Behavioral Analysis of Users

These AI systems also monitor the activities of users and flag suspicious behavior using transaction history, login patterns, and network activity. AI can flag any unusual interactions that may indicate unauthorized access attempts on blockchain networks. For instance, when an account that usually performs only small transactions suddenly tries to transfer a large sum of money to a risky address, these systems can trigger alerts or block the transaction temporarily until further verification is done. This creates a degree of proactivity in minimising fraud and heightens security.

How AI Agents Prevent Blockchain Fraud

1. Automated Fraud Prevention Systems

Fraud prevention tools by AI predict likely fraudulent actions even before they occur, thus making use of predictive analytics. These systems automate the security measures thereby blocking high-risk transactions and freezing suspicious accounts. Unlike the earlier traditional tools which were reactive in action, the newer solutions based on AI can detect fraud as early as possible before it actually occurs, thus minimizing the financial losses incurred. AI-based models have the ability to simulate possible scenarios of attacks and build proactive defense strategies making it difficult for fraudsters to succeed.

2. Real-Time Threat Intelligence

AI continuously scans the blockchain for future threats. By being folded into cybersecurity frameworks, AI agents real-time information on reasonable attacks and deploys countermeasures instantly. With artificial intelligence, threat intelligence can examine massive datasets from several different external sources, such as the dark web, to detect newer fraudulent tactics before they spread. By creating this dynamic approach, the organization and its audiences can stay ahead of a cybercriminal by strengthening their security position in real time.

3. Risk Scoring Mechanisms

AI agents assign risk scores to addresses and transactions through various parameters such as size, transaction frequency, or previous activities related to fraud. A high-risk transaction can be flagged so that it does not have a chance to occur as a financial crime. These risk scores are derived from very complex algorithms that include many possible risk parameters; thus, these risk scores are exceptionally accurate. The aligned scoring models can also be customized by businesses according to their own security policy. Thus, there is a fine balance created between fraud and inconvenience.

4. Enhanced Compliance and Regulatory Support

Blockchain compliance is receiving more and more attention from the regulatory bodies. The AI-backed compliance tools facilitate businesses in complying with anti-money laundering (AML) as well as Know Your Customer (KYC) regulations by verifying user identities and tracking any unlawful transactions. AI automates this verification process by reviewing documentation and biometric data and transaction histories to spot suspicious activities. That would adjust the regulatory requirements and lessen the manual effort for compliance teams in preventing fraud.

Conclusion

AI agents actively manage blockchain security by preventing and detecting fraud. They are a fundamental component of protecting digital assets through anomaly detection in transaction behavior and in auditing smart contracts. AI-led solutions are required when seeking scalable options for real-time threat detection and fraudulent activity prevention. As blockchain integration is growing, it is imperative for businesses to begin integrating AI-led solutions to counteract these risks and fortify security. Investment in an AI Agent Development platform allows a company to always stay one step ahead of cyber threats and builds trust in the blockchain ecosystem. By channeling AI in blockchain networks, it is possible for these organizations to create a safer, reliable decentralized financial setting that improves acceptance of blockchain technology on a larger scale across industries. The landscape of blockchain security appears to be exceptionally bright with further advancements in AI and machine learning, thereby enabling faster and more sophisticated fraud detection and prevention against emerging threats.

Since cybercriminals become equipped AI-enabled warfare tools to thwart proactive deployments of effective measures in threat detection, risk mitigation, and incident responses, AI-enabled countermeasures should have become a thing of primary importance. In this blog, we will explain how AI can be a game-changer in cybersecurity and why professionals will have to think of taking a cyber security course in Chennai to increase their chances in the industry.

The Role of AI in Cybersecurity

Threat Detection

Since they are signature-based, conventional tools become activated only when, through their signatures, there is knowledge of the existence of a threat; their usefulness is limited to this IMT moment before a high attack tends to settle. AI systems that are more advanced in detection use very different means of stopping an attack, such as anomaly detection and behavioral analysis, designed to detect something before it goes into an attack. Machine learning algorithms utilize huge databases for highly trained population differentiations based on deviations from normality; security teams must respond to prevent developing potential threats.

Security Operations Automation

Security teams often face hurdles in handling a bigger load of alerts and incidents. AI automates repetitive security fixings, such as threat hunting, vulnerability assessments, and incident response. Human workload, meanwhile, has been reduced while efficiency and accuracy for pinpointing cyber threats are enhanced.

AI-powered endpoint detection and response (EDR) solutions monitor devices to detect anomalies in real time and neutralize threats. This ensures protection against malware infection, ransomware, and unauthorized access.

AI-Powered Phishing Detection

Phishing attacks remain some of the greatest threats to cyberspace. Traditional spam filters for phishing emails are too often outsmarted by the hijinks employed by the attackers. AI helps in phishing detection by analyzing the email content, sender behavior, and contextual clues to identify potentially malicious messages. This greatly reduces the risk of employees being phished.

Cyber Threat Intelligence Predictive Analysis

Using predictive analytics, AI predicts possible cyber threats based on highly relevant historical data. Organizations identify attack patterns and trends that enable proactive strengthening of their defenses. AI-enabled threat intelligence platforms acquire and analyze threat intelligence nonstop, with actionable insights to curb security breaches for the organization.

Challenges of AI in Cybersecurity

Threats AI has its advantages, yet, basically, cybersecurity built upon AI comes with its own challenges:

False Positive or False Negatives: AI systems may trigger false alerts or may miss any new attack vectors, thus they are to be continuously refined Contrary to the above-mentioned aspect

Adversary AI is making its appearance, with cybercriminals building AI weapons for their advanced attacking techniques, thus demanding continuous innovation in defense.

Privacy Concerns: If AI needs vast amounts of data, it immensely challenges data privacy and safeguards.

The Future of AI in Cybersecurity

Oh Dear, Why would someone write this?

Let's just dive in, because there is just so much to deal with in this post.

"ChatGPT emerged just two years ago, dramatically altering our expectations of AI. Pinecone, a vector database powering some of the most advanced AI applications, wasn't even part of the conversation six months ago. This isn't mere change, it's a fundamental shift in the velocity of innovation. As enterprises, we're no longer building on stable ground, we're constructing our future on a landscape that's continuously evolving. This offers both exciting opportunities and significant challenges for businesses aiming to maintain their competitive edge."

This is just such willful drivel. Technology was accelerating and we were operating on less than stable ground long before AI came around. The perception of increased instability now is an artifact of the fact that AI right now is so unreliable and people are trying to apply it to everything without thought as to if they should. We are creating the instability through an over eagerness to apply AI–driven by the fact that companies who peddle AI haven't found a good way to make money off of it, and are now just trying to force it down our throats.

"One promising strategy is the empowerment of non-IT professionals through low-code platforms and AI-augmented development tools. These tools are catalysts for a new era of fusion development, enabling those outside of traditional IT roles to contribute to the development process. This approach not only alleviates the burden on professional developers but also brings domain expertise directly into the development process. The result is a more agile, responsive organization capable of rapidly adapting to changing business needs. However, the goal isn't to replace professional developers. Rather, it's about freeing them to focus on more complex, high-value tasks that truly require their expertise. By offloading routine development work to business users with domain knowledge, teams can maximize the impact of scarce professional development resources."

This might have a modicum of truth, and probably rings true to people who don't develop software, but the sad fact is that only people who don't know anything about software development think that AI has improved it.

For the most part AI is actually pretty awful at writing code. Is it getting better, sure. Is it good enough where you could offload any code completely to the AI–no. This move to AI and low-code is just the same mistake as was made many years back when developers became overly reliant on frameworks–the mistake we are now paying the price for that in security and in bloat.

Low-code and AI just hide the problem behind the shoulder shrug of I don't know what happened or how it was made. This is actually a step back not forward.

"The integration of AI into the development process represents a significant opportunity for boosting productivity. AI assistants can generate boilerplate code, suggest optimizations and, in the near future, even prototype entire applications based on high-level descriptions."

I love when people who don't code write stuff like this. AI isn't close to this. I know there are people who do this, but the software they put out is not well made, optimal or secure. There is ample evidence that AI writes poor code. To broaden the example lets look at companies that apply AI to security such as Cylance.

As you may recall Cylance touted their machine learning/AI approach to security as a universal panacea. However, it didn't take long for that to be disproven. It turned out that you could fool the system into allowing even obviously malicious programs.

I think this trend really has its roots in this future that people are so desperate for where computers will be better than people and take over. I am not sure where this comes from, but we aren't close and trying to will ourselves into it is a bad idea.

"The true power of AI in boosting productivity lies not just in coding assistance, but in its ability to infuse intelligence into entire workflows and business processes. This goes beyond mere automation. It's about creating adaptive, intelligent systems that can learn and improve over time."

I don't know what "infuse intelligence" into workflows means. This is just marketing hype for AI. This idea that they learn or improve over time–we simply aren't there yet. I use numerous different LLMs and the code they generate is not great universally. Are they getting better sure–but we are a long way off from this fictional future.

You see this come up in other forms such as people talking about AI training AI–which I hate so much its incredible. If you just look at how inaccurate AI is today and think about it training more AI with its inaccurate information. It is such a dystopian future run by bullshit factories that dispense the bullshit down our throats faster than we can deal with it. If AI teaching AI is the future than we are a LONG ways away from it.

"By embracing AI-augmented development practices, effectively managing APIs in the evolving API economy and cultivating a high-performance development culture, enterprises can position themselves to respond quickly to technological changes. The strategic use of low-code platforms and AI-powered tools, combined with modern API management systems and a culture that values continuous learning and experimentation, allows organizations to adapt swiftly to new challenges and opportunities."

The amount of marketing jargon in this paragraph is amazing. It's sort of the used car salesman selling the rusty future while trying to tell you he is selling you brand new and clean. I just wanted to include it, because it's priceless.

"The future of application development isn't about having the most developers or the biggest budget. It's about being the most adaptive, efficient and innovative in resource utilization. By focusing on these principles, organizations can transform the challenges of the evolving technological landscape into unprecedented opportunities for growth and success."

The future of application development has ALWAYS been for those who best adapt, innovate and are most efficient. Nothing has changed–this is just as true now as it has ever been.

I will leave you with this: beware of people like this who write this sort of optimistic drivel who aren't in the space beyond selling it–they are not architecting the future and they have no business defining it. Don't let them! The future should belong to those who help to build it, and people like this who peddle their ignorant dreams have no place in that future!
