📽️ Showcasing a Language User Interface (LUI): Groq, Deepgram, & More on CNN
In this video, CEO of Groq Jonathan Ross demonstrates how speed can make AI interaction feel more natural. CNN’s Becky Anderson really puts the AI model through a rather drilling interview, and the technology prevails.
PlayHT, Deepgram, Mistral, Vapi, and of course Groq are among the language model leaders making this natural-sounding AI as readily available as possible.
🧑🔬 Brain-controlled robotics and AI Therapists
Cognitive neuroscience and robotics: Advancements and future research directions - This article focuses on using AI algorithms, especially deep learning, to enhance Neuralink-like technology. Specifically, it looks at ways for humans to control robots with their minds via electroencephalography guided by deep learning and brainwave pattern recognition.
Depression Therapy Chat-Bot using Natural Language Processing - Are AI chatbots natural-sounding enough to be effective therapists? This paper believes so. In fact, it reports that “the chatbot therapy group experienced significantly fewer depressive symptoms than the control group (BDI-II). [And] high levels of satisfaction with the therapy and the chatbot interface were also expressed by participants in the chatbot therapy group.”

🎙️ AI Minds Podcast!
Last week, we launched our AI Minds podcast! Featured below is Episode 2: Samiur Rahman, CEO & Founder at HeyDay. Check it out 😁
“I think anytime you try to automate away humans from something, it's going to seem really cool at first, but generally speaking, it's going to be like 80% good enough, and that's fine for a lot of things."
🏇 Building an LLM Stack & Making it Feel Natural
Building an LLM Stack Part 2: Pre-training Tips & Data Processing Tricks - Before you can build a chatbot, you have to start with an LLM. And in this article—part two of a series—Andy Wang walks us through the pretraining and data processing techniques needed to ensure your time building goes as smoothly as possible!
Lone Wolf vs Community: The Benefits of Open Source Software - One way to make your chatbot sound as natural as possible is to use open-source software. After all, the CNN demo above fully uses OSS tech, and if it’s good enough for national TV, it’s probably good enough for the rest of us!

🐝 Social media buzz
As an alternate perspective, Forbes argues that AI video generation is all the rage this year rather than AI Chatbots. Likewise, Wired is focusing on AI studying film rather than language & law. What do you think?
📚 Glossary Pages
The glossary entries below outline everything you need to know about each respective topic—from histories, to use cases, to current implementations & resources. Check them out!
AI Assistants - What’s the difference between reactive agents, deliberative agents, collaborative agents, and hybrid agents? What’s the difference between an agent and an assistant? Find out in this glossary entry!
Mistral - In the CNN interview above, Jonathan Ross cites Mistral as one of the OSS technologies Groq used to make the LUI sound as natural as possible. Learn more about Mistral here!
Backpropagation - Infamously one of the most mathematically difficult concepts to be introduced to when learning about AI, backpropagation has quite the reputation. This glossary entry simplifies it as much as possible, and even discusses how it's used today.
