2 The Traditional Drug Discovery Process Traditionally, drug discovery is a lengthy (10–15 years), costly (over $2 billion per drug), and risky process. It involves: 1 Target identification and validation 2 Compound screening 3 Preclinical studies 4 Clinical trials (Phases I–III) 5 Regulatory approval 90% of drugs fail during clinical trials. 3 How AI Is…
2 Why Use TinyML? 1 Low Power Consumption: Can run for months or years on a battery. 2 Real-time Performance: Instant inference without sending data to the cloud. 3 Privacy: Data never leaves the device, improving security and privacy. 4 Offline Capabilities: Works without internet connectivity. 3 Where is TinyML Used? 1 Smartphones & Wearables:…
2 Introduction 1 Context: Generative AI is now writing novels, composing music, designing products, and making art. 2 The Big Question: If AI can create, where does that leave human creativity? Is it collaboration, competition—or something more existential? 3 What Is Creativity, Anyway? 1 Human Creativity: Often tied to emotion, experience, intuition, and meaning-making. 2…
2 Introduction 1 Autonomous AI agents are systems capable of making decisions and acting independently to achieve goals, often using real-time data and learning algorithms. 2 As they gain more autonomy—think self-driving cars, AI customer service bots, or trading algorithms—ethical concerns become central. 3 What Makes an AI “Autonomous”? 1 Key Traits: 2 Self-directed decision-making…
2 Introduction 1 Generative AI refers to algorithms (like Chat GPT, DALL·E, and others) capable of creating new content—text, images, audio, video, and code. 2 The Shift: Instead of just assisting in creation, AI is now taking a front seat, becoming a co-creator or even sole creator in some contexts. 3 What Is Generative AI?…
2 Introduction 1 Smart Cities aim to improve urban living through technology—enhancing services like traffic management, energy usage, public safety, and waste disposal. 2 Edge Computing processes data closer to where it’s generated—at the “edge” of the network—rather than relying solely on centralized cloud servers. 3 Why It Matters: Edge computing is essential for real-time…
2 Introduction 1 Definition: A digital twin is a virtual replica of a physical object, process, or system that is continuously updated with real-time data from its physical counterpart. 2 Purpose: To simulate, predict, and optimize real-world performance, reduce downtime, and enable data-driven decision-making. 3 Components of a Digital Twin 1 Physical Entity: The real-world…
2 What Are Brain-Computer Interfaces? BCIs are systems that allow direct communication between the brain and external devices — bypassing traditional physical inputs like keyboards, mice, or even speech. They can: 1 Read neural signals 2 Interpret thoughts or intentions 3 Send commands to digital devices There are both non-invasive (like EEG headsets) and invasive…
2 What Is 6G (in a Nutshell)? 6G is the sixth generation of wireless communication, expected to roll out commercially around 2030. It will offer: 1 Speeds up to 100x faster than 5G 2 Near-zero latency (think milliseconds or less) 3 Massive device density (billions of devices connected at once) 4 Seamless integration of AI…
2 What Is Quantum Computing (in Simple Terms)? Quantum computing uses quantum bits (qubits) instead of traditional binary bits (0s and 1s). Qubits can exist in multiple states at once (thanks to superposition) and influence each other instantly (entanglement). This allows quantum computers to process vast amounts of information simultaneously, making them especially good at…
