How generative AI works For the most part, generative AI operates in three phases:  Training, to create a foundation model that can serve as the basis of multiple gen AI applications. Tuning, to tailor the foundation model to a specific gen AI application. Generation, evaluation and retuning, to assess the gen AI application's output and continually improve its quality and accuracy. Read more

Generative AI, sometimes called gen AI, is artificial intelligence (AI) that can create original content such as text, images, video, audio or software code in response to a user’s prompt or request. Generative AI relies on sophisticated machine learning models called deep learning models algorithms that simulate the learning and decision-making processes of the human brain. These models work by identifying and encoding the patterns and relationships in huge amounts of data, and then using that information to understand users' natural language requests or questions and respond with relevant new content. AI has been a hot technology topic for the past decade, but generative AI, and specifically the arrival of ChatGPT in 2022, has thrust AI into worldwide headlines and launched an unprecedented surge of AI innovation and adoption. Generative AI offers enormous productivity benefits for individuals and organizations, and while it also presents very real challenges and risks, businesses are forging ahead, exploring how the technology can improve their internal workflows and enrich their products and services. According to research by the management consulting firm McKinsey, one third of organizations are already using generative AI regularly in at least one business function.¹ Industry analyst Gartner projects more than 80% of organizations will have deployed generative AI applications or used generative AI application programming interfaces (APIs) by 2026.

Before exploring stress management techniques, it’s important to recognize that stress can show up in different forms. As you’ll discover, the techniques you rely on to calm yourself may vary depending on the type of stress you’re dealing with. Some types of stress include acute, episodic acute and chronic stress. Acute stress. This involves a temporary source of stress. Maybe you’re worried about an upcoming exam, or perhaps you’re stressed about your disorganized family travel plans. Once the event passes, you feel yourself relax. Read more

Core Components of a Healthy Lifestyle Balanced Diet: Focus on whole foods, including vegetables, fruits, legumes, nuts, and whole grains. Limit added sugar to less than 10% of daily calories, reduce salt to under 5g daily, and minimize saturated/trans fats. Physical Activity: Aim for at least 30 minutes of moderate activity most days (e.g., walking, dancing, yoga). Break this into shorter 10-minute sessions if needed. Sleep and Mental Health: Prioritize 7+ hours of sleep for adults to prevent chronic conditions like diabetes and obesity. Manage stress through mindfulness, hobbies, or social connection. Preventive Habits: Schedule regular medical check-ups and screenings. Maintain proper hygiene and use safety precautions like sunscreen. Avoid Harmful Substances: Stop smoking and avoid alcohol or drink only in moderation. Actionable Tips for Success Start Small: Do not change everything at once; build a foundation with a few sustainable habits. Stay Active Anywhere: Take the stairs, walk more, or try dancing instead of traditional gym workouts. Budget-Friendly Eating: Buy fruits and vegetables in bulk or choose frozen/canned options. Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Digital Detox: Limit screen time, especially 45-60 minutes before bed, to improve sleep quality Read more

Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key. Read more

A healthy diet helps to protect against malnutrition in all its forms, as well as noncommunicable diseases (NCDs), including diabetes, heart disease, stroke and cancer. Unhealthy diet and lack of physical activity are leading global risks to health. Healthy dietary practices start early in life – breastfeeding fosters healthy growth and improves cognitive development, and may have longer term health benefits such as reducing the risk of becoming overweight or obese and developing NCDs later in life. Energy intake (calories) should be in balance with energy expenditure. To avoid unhealthy weight gain, total fat should not exceed 30% of total energy intake (1, 2, 3). Intake of saturated fats should be less than 10% of total energy intake, and intake of trans-fats less than 1% of total energy intake, with a shift in fat consumption away from saturated fats and trans-fats to unsaturated fats (3), and towards the goal of eliminating industrially-produced trans-fats (4, 5, 6). Limiting intake of free sugars to less than 10% of total energy intake (2, 7) is part of a healthy diet. A further reduction to less than 5% of total energy intake is suggested for additional health benefits (7). Keeping salt intake to less than 5 g per day (equivalent to sodium intake of less than 2 g per day) helps to prevent hypertension, and reduces the risk of heart disease and stroke in the adult population (8). WHO Member States have agreed to reduce the global population’s intake of salt by 30% by 2025; they have also agreed to halt the rise in diabetes and obesity in adults and adolescents as well as in childhood overweight by 2025 (9, 10).
