3 Subtle Ways Data Leakage Can Ruin Your Models (and How to Prevent It)
Data leakage is an often accidental problem that may happen in machine learning modeling.

Every year, global health experts are faced with a high-stakes decision: Which influenza strains should go into the next seasonal vaccine? The choice must be made months in advance, long before flu season even begins, and it can often feel like a race against the clock. If the selected strains match those that circulate, the vaccine will likely be highly effective. But if the prediction is off, protection can drop significantly, leading to (potentially preventable) illness and strain […]
USDA Secretary Rollins promised “structural changes” to SNAP this week amid concerns about widespread fraud in the program. Major reforms to SNAP’s financing model cannot be made without Congress, but USDA can help enforce the program’s eligibility standards by closing a loophole that has allowed millionaires, lottery winners, and households with six-figure assets to receive SNAP benefits through regulation. lead , In a recent blog post titled The SNAP Loophole that Lets Millionaires Receive Food Stamps, the director […]
OpenAI co-founds the Agentic AI Foundation under the Linux Foundation and donates AGENTS.md to support open, interoperable standards for safe agentic AI.
Author(s): Sayan Chowdhury Originally published on Towards AI. Understanding the OG Perceptron Neural networks look complex from the outside, but at their core they are built from one simple unit. This unit is called the perceptron. The OG 😀The article explains the perceptron, the simplest form of a neural network, which serves as a tiny decision maker by taking a set of inputs to decide between two outcomes. It discusses how perceptrons inspired modern deep learning systems, focusing […]
The CEO of the F1 champion-winning team discusses the hurdles he faced reversing McLaren’s negative momentum.
Both Google and Apple are cramming new AI features into their phones and other devices, and neither company has offered clear ways to control which apps those AI systems can access. Recent issues around WhatsApp on both Android and iPhone demonstrate how these interactions can go sideways, risking revealing chat conversations beyond what you intend. Users deserve better controls and clearer documentation around what these AI features can access. After diving into how Google Gemini and Apple Intelligence […]
Here are Google’s latest AI updates from November 2025
In March of 2020, I published an essay warning both the public and our policymakers against overreacting to the COVID threat. We overreact, I argued, in times of “epistemic uncertainty,” when we do not know enough about a threat we face and are unclear about our best response. Continue Reading…
Author(s): Carlos Eduardo Favini Originally published on Towards AI. By Carlos Eduardo Favini Industrial AI — Image by Author 1. The Semantic Ceiling: Why Industrial AI Stalls After two decades of investment, roughly 70% of digital transformation initiatives fail to scale beyond pilot stages (McKinsey, 2023). Industry 4.0 delivered connectivity — sensors, networks, data lakes — but not cognition. The result: dashboards that monitor but don’t decide, models that predict but don’t understand, and automation that breaks when […]
