A closer look at why companies like EvenUp are difficult to compete with, and what this means for the future of AI-powered legal technology. Introduction A few weeks ago, I went down a rabbit hole trying to understand how EvenUp built one of the most successful AI products in personal injury law. Like many people, I assumed the competitive advantage would come from a proprietary large language mo…

A beginner-friendly breakdown of what data really is, where it comes from, and why it matters more than you think. You woke up this morning and checked your phone. You scrolled through Instagram. Opened WhatsApp. Maybe checked the weather. Ordered breakfast on Swiggy. By the time you finished your morning tea, you had already generated hundreds of data points — and that was before 9 AM. We live i…

Origin Lab will serve as a marketplace where AI labs can buy high-quality licensed data, and video-game companies can sell it.

Last week we released the Swedish Construction FAQ — 503 bilingual Q&A pairs, CC BY 4.0, DOI 10.5281/zenodo.19630803 . The dataset got onto Hugging Face, Zenodo, Kaggle, PyPI — the usual distribution stack. But one step moved the needle more than the others: putting it on Wikidata as a first-class entity . This post is a practical walkthrough. No philosophy, just what we did and why. What a Wikid…

James Robinson reflects on a journey from the ATLAS collaboration to the Environment and Sustainability programme at the Alan Turing Institute. In physics, as in life, it’s important to persevere in the face of setbacks. When James Robinson joined the ATLAS experiment at CERN in 2008, the Large Hadron Collider had just sputtered into life. “I remember the excitement of the initial startup and the…

To truly ensure students’ education pays off long-term, colleges need support to turn program-level data insights into concrete improvements. A new blog post by the HEA Group’s Laura Jimenez and Michael Itzkowitz.

As the demand for data usage and storage grows exponentially, its scale, capabilities and applications have grown in tandem. In the nearly 40 years of technological progress, 128-gigabyte micro SD cards used in today’s smartphones can now store as much data as two semitrucks of 8-pound Priam hard drives from 1985 . All data must be stored in a physical location, either within the device itself or…
