    🍎 Knowledge Distillation: Compressing AI for Efficiency and Accessibility

    Knowledge distillation is an AI technique that transfers knowledge from large, complex "teacher" models to smaller, more efficient "student" models. This process allows for the creation of compact AI models that maintain much of the intelligence of their larger counterparts, making them suitable for deployment in resource-constrained environments. It works by training the student model to mimic not only the teacher's predictions but also its reasoning processes. Various forms of knowledge dis...

    📔 Apple, the UK, and the Future of Digital Privacy

    Apple has removed its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature in the UK due to governmental pressure under the Investigatory Powers Act. This action weakens data encryption for UK users, making them more vulnerable to cyber threats and governmental surveillance, and raises concerns about corporate espionage and privacy violations. The UK's move sets a dangerous precedent for other countries, who may follow suit, potentially leading to widespread compromises of user privacy and security. Compro...
