Introduction to Artificial Intelligence & Generative AI

What is Artificial Intelligence?

  • AI refers to machines or systems designed to simulate human intelligence.
  • Uses algorithms to process data and make decisions.
  • Encompasses areas like machine learning, natural language processing.

Key Types of AI

  • Narrow AI (Weak AI): Task-specific systems (e.g., Siri, chatbots).
  • General AI (Strong AI): Hypothetical machines with human-like reasoning.
  • Superintelligent AI: AI that surpasses human intelligence (future possibility).
What is Generative AI?
  • Generative AI creates new content, such as images, text, or music.
  • Uses advanced machine learning techniques like neural networks.
  • Examples: DALL·E (images), GPT (text), and AIVA (music composition).

How Does Generative AI Work?

  • Trains on large datasets (e.g., images, text).
  • Learns patterns, structures, and features in data.
  • Generates original content based on learned patterns.
Applications of Generative AI
  • Creative Arts: Art, music, and story generation.
  • Healthcare: Drug discovery and personalized treatment plans.
  • Business: Marketing content, design prototypes, and product ideas.
Benefits of Generative AI
  • Accelerates creative processes and innovation.
  • Provides new solutions for complex problems.
  • Enhances productivity and automates repetitive tasks.
Ethical Considerations & Challenges

  • Bias in AI models: Risk of perpetuating biases in data.
  • Misinformation: Potential misuse in creating fake content.
  • Job Displacement: Impact on certain job sectors.

The Future of AI & Generative AI

  • AI will continue evolving, creating new opportunities and challenges.
  • Collaboration between humans and AI will shape the future of creativity.
  • Need for responsible AI development and governance.
Conclusion
  • Artificial Intelligence is transforming industries and society.
  • Generative AI unlocks creative potential with limitless possibilities.
  • The future is bright, but we must approach AI with caution and responsibility.

Script to find memory usage on Ubuntu

This simple script will show the total memory, free memory and percentage of memory used. Have tested it on Ubuntu 14/16 but will work on CentOS as well #!/bin/bash freemem=$(($(free -m |grep "buffers/cache:"|awk '{print $4}'))) totalmem=$(($(free -m |awk 'NR==2 {print $2}'))) usage=$(($totalmem-$freemem)) echo "Memory used: $usage" echo "Total memory: $totalmem" usage=$(($usage*100 / $totalmem)) echo "Usage percentage: $usage" echo "Free memory: $freemem" echo "$TIMESTAMP $totalmem $usage $freemem"

What is a SIEM solution

  What is a SIEM solution I am updating my blog after quite a while and will try to talk about Cyber Security. In today’s blog we are going to talk about a term used commonly in Cyber Security, which is SIEM. SIEM stands for “Security Incident and Event Management” It is a combination of security information management and security event management. SIEM keeps track of the security posture of an organization by collecting security related data of information an organization in form of logs and store them for analysis for upcoming threats and it also monitors the infrastructure of an organization (both on premises and cloud based.) There are different SIEM solutions offered, some of the common and popular ones are Rapid7, Sentinel One, Splunk, ActZero. Most of these solutions can also integrate with next generation EDR/XDR/MDR solutions like Crowd Strike as well. SIEM is the center of organizations security operations (SOC).  Some of the salient features of a...
