Behind the Code: How AI Is Quietly Reshaping Software Development and the Top Risks You Must Know

AI Software Development

In 2025, artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer just a buzzword; it has become a driving force behind the scenes, transforming software development. From AI-powered code generation to advanced testing tools, machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) are significantly influencing how developers build, test, and deploy applications. While these innovations offer speed, accuracy, and automation, they also introduce subtle yet critical risks that businesses and developers must not overlook. This blog examines how AI is transforming the software development lifecycle and identifies the key risks associated with this evolution.

The Rise of AI in Software Development

Artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning are becoming foundational to modern software engineering. AI tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, and various open AI platforms assist in code suggestions, bug detection, documentation generation, and even architectural decisions. These tools not only reduce development time but also enable less-experienced developers to produce quality code.

Examples of AI in Development:

- AI Chat Bots: Provide 24/7 customer support and collect feedback.

- AI-Powered Code Review: Analyze code for bugs, security flaws, and performance issues.

- Natural Language Processing (NLP): Translate user stories into code or test cases.

- AI for DevOps: Use predictive analytics for server load and automate CI/CD pipelines.

With AI chat platforms, free AI chatbots, and robotic process automation (RPA), the lines between human and machine collaboration are increasingly blurred.

The Hidden Risks of AI in Application Development

While AI offers numerous benefits, it also introduces potential vulnerabilities and unintended consequences. Here are the top risks associated with integrating AI into the development pipeline:

1. Over-Reliance on AI Tools

   Over-reliance on AI tools may reduce developer skills and code quality:

     - A decline in critical thinking and analytical skills.

     - Propagation of inefficient or insecure code patterns.

     - Reduced understanding of the software being developed.

2. Bias in Machine Learning Models

     AI and ML trained on biased or incomplete data can produce skewed results:

     -Applications may produce discriminatory or inaccurate results.

     -Risks include brand damage and legal issues in regulated sectors like retail or finance.

3. Security Vulnerabilities

     AI-generated code may introduce hidden bugs or create opportunities for exploitation:

     -Many AI tools scrape open-source data, which might include insecure or outdated libraries.

     -Hackers could manipulate AI-generated models for malicious purposes.

4. Data Privacy and Compliance Issues

    AI models often need large datasets with sensitive information:

    -Misuse or leakage of data can lead to compliance violations (e.g., GDPR).

    -Using tools like Google AI Chat or OpenAI Chatbots can raise data storage concerns.

5. Transparency and Explainability Challenges

   Understanding AI, especially deep learning decisions, is challenging:

   -A lack of explainability complicates debugging processes.

   -There are regulatory issues in industries that require audit trails (e.g., insurance, healthcare).

AI and Its Influence Across Development Phases

Planning & Design: AI platforms analyze historical data to forecast project timelines and resource allocation.

Risks: False assumptions from inaccurate historical data can mislead project planning.

Coding: AI-powered IDEs and assistants suggest code snippets, auto-complete functions, and generate boilerplate code.

Risks: AI chatbots may overlook edge cases or scalability concerns.

Testing: Automated test case generation using AI ensures broader coverage in less time.

Risks: AI might miss human-centric use cases and unique behavioral scenarios.

Deployment & Maintenance: AI helps predict failures and automates software patching using computer vision and ML.

Risks:False positives or missed anomalies in logs could lead to outages.

The Role of AI in Retail, RPA, and Computer Vision

Industries such as retail and manufacturing are increasingly integrating AI. 

In Retail: AI is used for chatbots, customer data analytics, and inventory management tools, enhancing personalized shopping experiences through machine learning and deep learning.

Risk: Over-personalization and surveillance-like tracking raise ethical concerns.

In RPA: Robotic Process Automation tools simplify repetitive back-end tasks. AI adds decision-making capabilities to RPA.

Risk: Errors in automation can lead to large-scale operational failures.

In Computer Vision: AI is applied in image classification, facial recognition, and quality control.

Risk: Misclassification or identity-related issues could lead to regulatory scrutiny.

Navigating the Risks: Best Practices

To safely harness the power of AI in development, businesses should adopt strategic measures, such as establishing AI ethics policies and defining acceptable use guidelines. 

By understanding the transformative power of AI and proactively addressing its risks, organizations can better position themselves for a successful future in software development. Key Recommendations:

Audit and regularly update AI datasets to avoid bias.

Use explainable AI models where possible.

Train developers on AI tools while reinforcing core engineering skills.

Ensure AI integrations comply with data protection and security standards.

Final Thoughts: Embracing AI While Staying Secure

AI, ML, and DL have revolutionized software development, enabling automation, accuracy, and innovation. However, they bring complex risks that require careful management. Organizations must adopt a balanced approach—leveraging the strengths of AI platforms like GPT chat AI, open chat AI, and RPA tools while maintaining strict oversight.

As we move forward, embracing AI in a responsible and informed manner is critical. From enterprise AI adoption to computer vision applications, businesses that align technological growth with ethical and secure practices will lead the future of development.

Using JPEG Compression to Improve Neural Network Training

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/using-jpeg-compression-to-improve-neural-network-training/

Using JPEG Compression to Improve Neural Network Training

A new research paper from Canada has proposed a framework that deliberately introduces JPEG compression into the training scheme of a neural network, and manages to obtain better results – and better resistance to adversarial attacks.

This is a fairly radical idea, since the current general wisdom is that JPEG artifacts, which are optimized for human viewing, and not for machine learning, generally have a deleterious effect on neural networks trained on JPEG data.

An example of the difference in clarity between JPEG images compressed at different loss values (higher loss permits a smaller file size, at the expense of delineation and banding across color gradients, among other types of artifact). Source: https://forums.jetphotos.com/forum/aviation-photography-videography-forums/digital-photo-processing-forum/1131923-how-to-fix-jpg-compression-artefacts?p=1131937#post1131937

A 2022 report from the University of Maryland and Facebook AI asserted that JPEG compression ‘incurs a significant performance penalty’ in the training of neural networks, in spite of previous work that claimed neural networks are relatively resilient to image compression artefacts.

A year prior to this, a new strand of thought had emerged in the literature: that JPEG compression could actually be leveraged for improved results in model training.

However, though the authors of that paper were able to obtain improved results in the training of JPEG images of varying quality levels, the model they proposed was so complex and burdensome that it was not practicable. Additionally, the system’s use of default JPEG optimization settings (quantization) proved a barrier to training efficacy.

A later project (2023’s JPEG Compliant Compression for DNN Vision) experimented with a system that obtained slightly better results from JPEG-compressed training images with the use of a frozen deep neural network (DNN) model. However, freezing parts of a model during training tends to reduce the versatility of the model, as well as its broader resilience to novel data.

JPEG-DL

Instead, the new work, titled JPEG Inspired Deep Learning, offers a much simpler architecture, which can even be imposed upon existing models.

The researchers, from the University of Waterloo, state:

‘Results show that JPEG-DL significantly and consistently outperforms the standard DL across various DNN architectures, with a negligible increase in model complexity.

Specifically, JPEG-DL improves classification accuracy by up to 20.9% on some fine-grained classification dataset, while adding only 128 trainable parameters to the DL pipeline. Moreover, the superiority of JPEG-DL over the standard DL is further demonstrated by the enhanced adversarial robustness of the learned models and reduced file sizes of the input images.’

The authors contend that an optimal JPEG compression quality level can help a neural network distinguish the central subject/s of an image. In the example below, we see baseline results (left) blending the bird into the background when features are obtained by the neural network. In contrast, JPEG-DL (right) succeeds in distinguishing and delineating the subject of the photo.

‘This phenomenon,’ they explain, ‘termed “compression helps” in the [2021] paper, is justified by the fact that compression can remove noise and disturbing background features, thereby highlighting the main object in an image, which helps DNNs make better prediction.’

Method

JPEG-DL introduces a differentiable soft quantizer, which replaces the non-differentiable quantization operation in a standard JPEG optimization routine.

This allows for gradient-based optimization of the images. This is not possible in conventional JPEG encoding, which uses a uniform quantizer with a rounding operation that approximates the nearest coefficient.

The differentiability of JPEG-DL’s schema permits joint optimization of both the training model’s parameters and the JPEG quantization (compression level). Joint optimization means that both the model and the training data are accommodated to each other in the end-to-end process, and no freezing of layers is needed.

Essentially, the system customizes the JPEG compression of a (raw) dataset to fit the logic of the generalization process.

Conceptual schema for JPEG-DL.

One might assume that raw data would be the ideal fodder for training; after all, images are completely decompressed into an appropriate full-length color space when they are run in batches; so what difference does the original format make?

Well, since JPEG compression is optimized for human viewing, it throws areas of detail or color away in a manner concordant with this aim. Given a picture of a lake under a blue sky, increased levels of compression will be applied to the sky, because it contains no ‘essential’ detail.

On the other hand, a neural network lacks the eccentric filters which allow us to zero in on central subjects. Instead, it is likely to consider any banding artefacts in the sky as valid data to be assimilated into its latent space.

Though a human will dismiss the banding in the sky, in a heavily compressed image (left), a neural network has no idea that this content should be thrown away, and will need a higher-quality image (right). Source: https://lensvid.com/post-processing/fix-jpeg-artifacts-in-photoshop/

Therefore, one level of JPEG compression is unlikely to suit the entire contents of a training dataset, unless it represents a very specific domain. Pictures of crowds will require much less compression than a narrow-focus picture of a bird, for instance.

The authors observe that those unfamiliar with the challenges of quantization, but who are familiar with the basics of the transformers architecture, can consider these processes as an ‘attention operation’, broadly.

Data and Tests

JPEG-DL was evaluated against transformer-based architectures and convolutional neural networks (CNNs). Architectures used were EfficientFormer-L1; ResNet; VGG; MobileNet; and ShuffleNet.

The ResNet versions used were specific to the CIFAR dataset: ResNet32, ResNet56, and ResNet110. VGG8 and VGG13 were chosen for the VGG-based tests.

For CNN, the training methodology was derived from the 2020 work Contrastive Representation Distillation (CRD). For EfficientFormer-L1 (transformer-based), the training method from the 2023 outing Initializing Models with Larger Ones was used.

For fine-grained tasks featured in the tests, four datasets were used: Stanford Dogs; the University of Oxford’s Flowers; CUB-200-2011 (CalTech Birds); and Pets (‘Cats and Dogs’, a collaboration between the University of Oxford and Hyderabad in India).

For fine-grained tasks on CNNs, the authors used PreAct ResNet-18 and DenseNet-BC. For EfficientFormer-L1, the methodology outlined in the aforementioned Initializing Models With Larger Ones was used.

Across the CIFAR-100 and fine-grained tasks, the varying magnitudes of Discrete Cosine Transform (DCT) frequencies in the JPEG compression approach was handled with the Adam optimizer, in order to adapt the learning rate for the JPEG layer across the models that were tested.

In tests on ImageNet-1K, across all experiments, the authors used PyTorch, with SqueezeNet, ResNet-18 and ResNet-34 as the core models.

For the JPEG-layer optimization evaluation, the researchers used Stochastic Gradient Descent (SGD) instead of Adam, for more stable performance. However, for the ImageNet-1K tests, the method from the 2019 paper Learned Step Size Quantization was employed.

Above the top-1 validation accuracy for the baseline vs. JPEG-DL on CIFAR-100, with standard and mean deviations averaged over three runs. Below, the top-1 validation accuracy on diverse fine-grained image classification tasks, across various model architectures, again, averaged from three passes.

Commenting on the initial round of results illustrated above, the authors state:

‘Across all seven tested models for CIFAR-100, JPEG-DL consistently provides improvements, with gains of up to 1.53% in top-1 accuracy. In the fine-grained tasks, JPEG-DL offers a substantial performance increase, with improvements of up to 20.90% across all datasets using two different models.’

Results for the ImageNet-1K tests are shown below:

Top-1 validation accuracy results on ImageNet across diverse frameworks.

Here the paper states:

‘With a trivial increase in complexity (adding 128 parameters), JPEG-DL achieves a gain of 0.31% in top-1 accuracy for SqueezeNetV1.1 compared to the baseline using a single round of [quantization] operation.

‘By increasing the number of quantization rounds to five, we observe an additional improvement of 0.20%, leading to a total gain of 0.51% over the baseline.’

The researchers also tested the system using data compromised by the adversarial attack approaches Fast Gradient Signed Method (FGSM) and Projected Gradient Descent (PGD).

The attacks were conducted on CIFAR-100 across two of the models:

Testing results for JPEG-DL, against two standard adversarial attack frameworks.

The authors state:

‘[The] JPEG-DL models significantly improve the adversarial robustness compared to the standard DNN models, with improvements of up to 15% for FGSM and 6% for PGD.’

Additionally, as illustrated earlier in the article, the authors conducted a comparison of extracted feature maps using GradCAM++ – a framework that can highlight extracted features in a visual manner.

A GradCAM++ illustration for baseline and JPEG-DL image classification, with extracted features highlighted.

The paper notes that JPEG-DL produces an improved result, and that in one instance it was even able to classify an image that the baseline failed to identify. Regarding the earlier-illustrated image featuring birds, the authors state:

‘[It] is evident that the feature maps from the JPEG-DL model show significantly better contrast between the foreground information (the bird) and the background compared to the feature maps generated by the baseline model.

‘Specifically, the foreground object in the JPEG-DL feature maps is enclosed within a well-defined contour, making it visually distinguishable from the background.

‘In contrast, the baseline model’s feature maps show a more blended structure, where the foreground contains higher energy in low frequencies, causing it to blend more smoothly with the background.’

Conclusion

JPEG-DL is intended for use in situations where raw data is available – but it would be most interesting to see if some of the principles featured in this project could be applied to conventional dataset training, wherein the content may be of lower quality (as frequently occurs with hyperscale datasets scraped from the internet).

As it stands, that largely remains an annotation problem, though it has been addressed in traffic-based image recognition, and elsewhere.

On generative AI

I've had 2 asks about this lately so I feel like it's time to post a clarifying statement.

I will not provide assistance related to using "generative artificial intelligence" ("genAI") [1] applications such as ChatGPT. This is because, for ethical and functional reasons, I am opposed to genAI.

I am opposed to genAI because its operators steal the work of people who create, including me. This complaint is usually associated with text-to-image (T2I) models, like Midjourney or Stable Diffusion, which generate "AI art". However, large language models (LLMs) do the same thing, just with text. ChatGPT was trained on a large research dataset known as the Common Crawl (Brown et al, 2020). For an unknown period ending at latest 29 August 2023, Tumblr did not discourage Common Crawl crawlers from scraping the website (Changes on Tumblr, 2023). Since I started writing on this blog circa 2014–2015 and have continued fairly consistently in the interim, that means the Common Crawl incorporates a significant quantity of my work. If it were being used for academic research, I wouldn't mind. If it were being used by another actual human being, I wouldn't mind, and if they cited me, I definitely wouldn't mind. But it's being ground into mush and extruded without credit by large corporations run by people like Sam Altman (see Hoskins, 2025) and Elon Musk (see Ingram, 2024) and the guy who ruined Google (Zitron, 2024), so I mind a great deal.

I am also opposed to genAI because of its excessive energy consumption and the lengths to which its operators go to ensure that energy is supplied. Individual cases include the off-grid power station which is currently poisoning Black people in Memphis, Tennessee (Kerr, 2025), so that Twitter's genAI application Grok can rant incoherently about "white genocide" (Steedman, 2025). More generally, as someone who would prefer to avoid getting killed for my food and water in a few decades' time, I am unpleasantly reminded of the study that found that bitcoin mining emissions alone could make runaway climate change impossible to prevent (Mora et al, 2018). GenAI is rapidly scaling up to produce similar amounts of emissions, with the same consequences, for the same reasons (Luccioni, 2024). [2]

It is theoretically possible to create genAI which doesn't steal and which doesn't destroy the planet. Nobody's going to do it, and if they do do it, no significant share of the userbase will migrate to it in the foreseeable future — same story as, again, bitcoin — but it's theoretically possible. However, I also advise against genAI for any application which requires facts, because it can't intentionally tell the truth. It can't intentionally do anything; it is a system for using a sophisticated algorithm to assemble words in plausibly coherent ways. Try asking it about the lore of a media property you're really into and see how long it takes to start spouting absolute crap. It also can't take correction; it literally cannot, it is unable — the way the neural network is trained means that simply inserting a factual correction, even with administrator access, is impossible even in principle.

GenAI can never "ascend" to intelligence; it's not a petri dish in which an artificial mind can grow; it doesn't contain any more of the stuff of consciousness than a spreadsheet. The fact that it seems like it really must know what it's saying means nothing. To its contemporaries, ELIZA seemed like that too (Weizenbaum, 1966).

The stuff which is my focus on this blog — untraining and more broadly AB/DL in general — is not inherently dangerous or sensitive, but it overlaps with stuff which, despite being possible to access and use in a safe manner, has the potential for great danger. This is heightened quite a bit given genAI's weaknesses around the truth. If you ask ChatGPT whether it's safe to down a whole bottle of castor oil, as long as you use the right words, even unintentionally, it will happily tell you to go ahead. If I endorse or recommend genAI applications for this kind of stuff, or assist with their use, I am encouraging my readers toward something I know to be unsafe. I will not be doing that. Future asks on the topic will go unanswered.

Notes

I use quote marks here because as far as I am concerned, both "generative artificial intelligence" and "genAI" are misleading labels adopted for branding purposes; in short, lies. GenAI programs aren't artificial intelligences because they don't think, and because they don't emulate thinking or incorporate human thinking; they're just a program for associating words in a mathematically sophisticated but deterministic way. "GenAI" is also a lie because it's intended to associate generative AI applications with artificial general intelligence (AGI), i.e., artificial beings that actually think, or pretend to as well as a human does. However, there is no alternative term at the moment, and I understand I look weird if I use quote marks throughout the piece, so I dispense with them after this point.

As a mid-to-low-income PC user I am also pissed off that GPUs are going to get worse and more expensive again, but that kind of pales in comparison to everything else.

The AI Revolution: Understanding, Harnessing, and Navigating the Future

What is AI

In a world increasingly shaped by technology, one term stands out above the rest, capturing both our imagination and, at times, our apprehension: Artificial Intelligence. From science fiction dreams to tangible realities, AI is no longer a distant concept but an omnipresent force, subtly (and sometimes not-so-subtly) reshaping industries, transforming daily life, and fundamentally altering our perception of what's possible.

But what exactly is AI? Is it a benevolent helper, a job-stealing machine, or something else entirely? The truth, as always, is far more nuanced. At its core, Artificial Intelligence refers to the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. What makes modern AI so captivating is its ability to learn from data, identify patterns, and make predictions or decisions with increasing autonomy.

The journey of AI has been a fascinating one, marked by cycles of hype and disillusionment. Early pioneers in the mid-20th century envisioned intelligent machines that could converse and reason. While those early ambitions proved difficult to achieve with the technology of the time, the seeds of AI were sown. The 21st century, however, has witnessed an explosion of progress, fueled by advancements in computing power, the availability of massive datasets, and breakthroughs in machine learning algorithms, particularly deep learning. This has led to the "AI Spring" we are currently experiencing.

The Landscape of AI: More Than Just Robots

When many people think of AI, images of humanoid robots often come to mind. While robotics is certainly a fascinating branch of AI, the field is far broader and more diverse than just mechanical beings. Here are some key areas where AI is making significant strides:

Machine Learning (ML): This is the engine driving much of the current AI revolution. ML algorithms learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Think of recommendation systems on streaming platforms, fraud detection in banking, or personalized advertisements – these are all powered by ML.

Deep Learning (DL): A subset of machine learning inspired by the structure and function of the human brain's neural networks. Deep learning has been instrumental in breakthroughs in image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition. The facial recognition on your smartphone or the impressive capabilities of large language models like the one you're currently interacting with are prime examples.

Natural Language Processing (NLP): This field focuses on enabling computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language. From language translation apps to chatbots that provide customer service, NLP is bridging the communication gap between humans and machines.

Computer Vision: This area allows computers to "see" and interpret visual information from the world around them. Autonomous vehicles rely heavily on computer vision to understand their surroundings, while medical imaging analysis uses it to detect diseases.

Robotics: While not all robots are AI-powered, many sophisticated robots leverage AI for navigation, manipulation, and interaction with their environment. From industrial robots in manufacturing to surgical robots assisting doctors, AI is making robots more intelligent and versatile.

AI's Impact: Transforming Industries and Daily Life

The transformative power of AI is evident across virtually every sector. In healthcare, AI is assisting in drug discovery, personalized treatment plans, and early disease detection. In finance, it's used for algorithmic trading, risk assessment, and fraud prevention. The manufacturing industry benefits from AI-powered automation, predictive maintenance, and quality control.

Beyond these traditional industries, AI is woven into the fabric of our daily lives. Virtual assistants like Siri and Google Assistant help us organize our schedules and answer our questions. Spam filters keep our inboxes clean. Navigation apps find the fastest routes. Even the algorithms that curate our social media feeds are a testament to AI's pervasive influence. These applications, while often unseen, are making our lives more convenient, efficient, and connected.

Harnessing the Power: Opportunities and Ethical Considerations

The opportunities presented by AI are immense. It promises to boost productivity, solve complex global challenges like climate change and disease, and unlock new frontiers of creativity and innovation. Businesses that embrace AI can gain a competitive edge, optimize operations, and deliver enhanced customer experiences. Individuals can leverage AI tools to automate repetitive tasks, learn new skills, and augment their own capabilities.

However, with great power comes great responsibility. The rapid advancement of AI also brings forth a host of ethical considerations and potential challenges that demand careful attention.

Job Displacement: One of the most frequently discussed concerns is the potential for AI to automate jobs currently performed by humans. While AI is likely to create new jobs, there will undoubtedly be a shift in the nature of work, requiring reskilling and adaptation.

Is not every character in DL a "brain clone"?

DSoD Kaiba and DSoD Mokuba are (almost) definitely real. Most of the other DSoD characters have a pretty strong chance of being real. I don't remember if we have any dialogue that strongly implies one way or the other, but they're definitely the most likely to be real (as opposed to the DM versions of those characters, which are definitely fake).

Also love the quotes around "brain clone." I'm not going to say "artificially intelligent memory-based reconstructions of their personalities that Kaiba made because he's an absolute fucking madman" every time. We know what they are. We're having fun with words here.

Whether you're a budding data scientist, a business leader, or simply curious about the future, understanding the core vocabulary of AI is essential.

Consider this your ultimate guide to the most important AI definitions you need to know.

Core Concepts & Foundational Terms

Artificial Intelligence (AI): The overarching field dedicated to creating machines that can perform tasks that typically require human intelligence, such as learning, problem-solving, decision-making, perception, and understanding language.

Machine Learning (ML): A subset of AI that enables systems to learn from data without being explicitly programmed. Instead of following static instructions, ML algorithms build models based on sample data, called "training data," to make predictions or decisions.

Deep Learning (DL): A subset of Machine Learning that uses Artificial Neural Networks with multiple layers (hence "deep") to learn complex patterns from large amounts of data. It's particularly effective for tasks like image recognition, natural language processing, and speech recognition.

Neural Network (NN): A computational model inspired by the structure and function of the human brain. It consists of interconnected "neurons" (nodes) organized in layers, which process and transmit information.

Algorithm: A set of rules or instructions that a computer follows to solve a problem or complete a task. In AI, algorithms are the recipes that define how a model learns and makes predictions.

Model: The output of a machine learning algorithm after it has been trained on data. The model encapsulates the patterns and rules learned from the data, which can then be used to make predictions on new, unseen data.

Training Data: The dataset used to "teach" a machine learning model. It contains input examples along with their corresponding correct outputs (in supervised learning).

Inference: The process of using a trained AI model to make predictions or decisions on new, unseen data. This is when the model applies what it has learned.

Types of Learning

Supervised Learning: A type of ML where the model learns from labeled training data (input-output pairs). The goal is to predict the output for new inputs.

Examples: Regression (predicting a continuous value like house price), Classification (predicting a category like "spam" or "not spam").

Unsupervised Learning: A type of ML where the model learns from unlabeled data, finding patterns or structures without explicit guidance.

Examples: Clustering (grouping similar data points), Dimensionality Reduction (simplifying data by reducing variables).

Reinforcement Learning (RL): A type of ML where an "agent" learns to make decisions by interacting with an environment, receiving "rewards" for desired actions and "penalties" for undesirable ones. It learns through trial and error.

Examples: Training game-playing AI (AlphaGo), robotics, autonomous navigation.

Key Concepts in Model Building & Performance

Features: The individual measurable properties or characteristics of a phenomenon being observed. These are the input variables used by a model to make predictions.

Target (or Label): The output variable that a machine learning model is trying to predict in supervised learning.

Overfitting: When a model learns the training data too well, including its noise and outliers, leading to poor performance on new, unseen data. The model essentially memorizes the training data rather than generalizing patterns.

Underfitting: When a model is too simple to capture the underlying patterns in the training data, resulting in poor performance on both training and new data.

Bias-Variance Trade-off: A core concept in ML that describes the tension between two sources of error in a model:

Bias: Error from erroneous assumptions in the learning algorithm (underfitting).

Variance: Error from sensitivity to small fluctuations in the training data (overfitting). Optimizing a model often involves finding the right balance.

Hyperparameters: Configuration variables external to the model that are set before the training process begins (e.g., learning rate, number of layers in a neural network). They control the learning process itself.

Metrics: Quantitative measures used to evaluate the performance of an AI model (e.g., accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score for classification; Mean Squared Error, R-squared for regression).

Advanced AI Techniques & Applications

Natural Language Processing (NLP): A field of AI that enables computers to understand, interpret, and generate human language.

Examples: Sentiment analysis, machine translation, chatbots.

Computer Vision (CV): A field of AI that enables computers to "see" and interpret images and videos.

Examples: Object detection, facial recognition, image classification.

Generative AI: A type of AI that can create new content, such as text, images, audio, or video, that resembles real-world data.

Examples: Large Language Models (LLMs) like GPT, image generators like DALL-E.

Large Language Model (LLM): A type of deep learning model trained on vast amounts of text data, capable of understanding, generating, and processing human language with remarkable fluency and coherence.

Robotics: The interdisciplinary field involving the design, construction, operation, and use of robots. AI often powers the "brains" of robots for perception, navigation, and decision-making.

Explainable AI (XAI): An emerging field that aims to make AI models more transparent and understandable to humans, addressing the "black box" problem of complex models.

Ethical AI / Responsible AI: The practice of developing and deploying AI systems in a way that is fair, unbiased, transparent, secure, and respectful of human values and privacy.

This glossary is just the beginning of your journey into the fascinating world of AI. As you delve deeper, you'll encounter many more specialized terms. However, mastering these foundational definitions will provide you with a robust framework to understand the current capabilities and future potential of artificial intelligence. Keep learning, keep exploring, and stay curious!

Zoomposium with Prof. Dr. Martin Bogdan: "When AI gets bored - Ways to (artificial) consciousness

Information about the person and research field

In this very exciting interview from our Zoomposium themed blog “Artificial intelligence and its consequences”, Axel and I talk this time with the German computer scientist Martin Bogdan, who conducts research on applied signal processing and data analysis in medicine and biology as well as embedded systems for bioanalog information processing at the Faculty of Mathematics and Computer Science in the Neuromorphic Information Processing Department at the University of Leipzig and works as Dean of Studies for Computer Science. It was precisely in this context that I became aware of him during my online research. I was looking for scientists, and in particular computer scientists, who work and research in the field of neuromorphic and bioanalog information processing. One reason for the research was that I have recently been dealing a lot with a possible paradigmshift from physics to biology in AI research. In this context, one could almost speak of a “biologization” in the development of new AIsystems. In this context of the possibilities of “communication” between biological-neuronal and artificial-neuronal networks, he has also worked a lot on new processor architectures. The old processor design for AI applications in the form of the functionalities of the hardware at circuit level (register transfer level synthesis) using “standard CMOS logic gates” is increasingly being replaced by artificial, neural networks “artificial neuronal network (ANN)” or “spiking neuronal networks (SNN)” in the course of “neuromorphic engineering” or “deeplearning (DL)” or perhaps replace them completely in the future. An attempt is made to translate the biological-neuronal networks of the brain into “spiking neuronal networks (SNN)” with the help of the Hodgkin-Huxley-Model. The action potentials of neurons and their connections are simulated as brain areas. Martin Bogdan also had another exciting but also provocative article on this topic, "Is Boredom an Indicator on the way to Singularity of Artificial Intelligence? Hypotheses as Thought-Provoking Impulse“ in 2023, in which he explores precisely this question of whether perhaps ”boredom“ in artificial intelligence could be a possible indicator for consciousness in the form of Kurzweil's ”Singularity". This is of course a “steep thesis”, which we had Mr. Bogdan explain to us in the not at all “boring” interview ;-). More at: https://youtu.be/izN9ac-9zw8

Comprehensive Study of the Global Space Robotics Industry

The global space robotics market was valued at USD 4.40 billion in 2022 and is projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.8% from 2023 to 2030. This robust growth trajectory is driven by the increasing need for efficient repair, servicing, and maintenance of geostationary satellites, as well as the cost-efficiency and superior operational performance of robotic systems in the extreme conditions of space.

The growing demand for autonomous systems and robotics technologies is being further fueled by the accelerating number of space missions worldwide. The success of advanced space programs such as on-orbit satellite servicing, manufacturing, and assembly operations aboard the International Space Station (ISS)—as well as the Lunar Surface Innovation Initiative by NASA—requires sophisticated robotics capable of executing complex tasks with precision and reliability.

Leading space agencies are investing in strategic roadmaps to guide the future of space robotics. For example, NASA's space technology roadmap to 2035 prioritizes several key robotic capabilities. Similarly, the European Space Agency (ESA) supports space robotics innovation through European Commission–funded initiatives such as PERASPERA and SpacePlan 2020. PERASPERA, in particular, is developing a cohesive master plan for European space robotics for implementation during 2023–2024. Beyond the U.S. and Europe, nations including China, Russia, India, and Japan are expanding their space programs and increasingly incorporating robotics into mission-critical roles.

Space robots, designed as mission-defined autonomous machines, can conduct a wide range of operations including planetary exploration, satellite servicing, assembly, and maintenance tasks. These robotic systems are vital for extending human reach in space, supporting astronauts, and executing remote operations with minimal human intervention. Their development represents a convergence of mechanical engineering, computer science, artificial intelligence, and space sciences, significantly broadening their range of applications across both manned and unmanned missions.

Emerging technologies, notably Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Deep Learning (DL), are revolutionizing space robotics by enabling smarter, more adaptive robotic systems. These advancements allow for enhanced autonomy, improved mobility, and more efficient data processing in harsh space environments. A recent example of innovation in this area is the Int-Ball, an autonomous internal camera developed by the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA). Deployed aboard the ISS in June 2023, Int-Ball autonomously navigates to specific positions to capture photos and videos, thereby reducing the workload on astronauts and streamlining onboard documentation processes. Controlled remotely by JAXA's ground teams, the Int-Ball reflects the increasing reliance on AI-driven robotics in space operations.

Another key market driver is the rapid increase in satellite launches, which has created a surge in demand for on-orbit servicing, debris removal, and robotic assembly. The congestion of Earth’s orbit due to satellite proliferation poses a significant threat to current and future missions. This has intensified the focus on developing dexterous robotic manipulators capable of capturing, repairing, maintaining, and de-orbiting dysfunctional or aging satellites. Technologies like In-Space Robotic Assembly (ISRA) and Extra-Vehicular Activity (EVA) robotics are becoming essential tools in mitigating orbital debris and supporting long-term space sustainability.

As the commercial and governmental space sectors continue to expand, the need for advanced space robotics solutions will become even more critical. The integration of AI, machine vision, autonomous navigation, and advanced materials into robotic platforms will pave the way for a new era in space exploration, colonization, and infrastructure development.
