Are you on the AI bandwagon yet?

All of a sudden, every company is an AI company! People who, a year ago, would have mistaken the acronym ���LLM��� to be another flavor of ice-cream claim to be developing foundation models. When you start scratching the surface, their responses would put ChatGPT���s hallucinations to shame. I don���t blame them. I saw similar behaviors��� Read More »

Augmented Intelligence

The decline came faster than anyone would have imagined. The recent reports of ChatGPT getting dumber raise concerns and, more importantly, should give a pause to all who are rushing to adopt AI without doing readiness assessment, feasibility study or AI transformation strategy. There is a lot of noise and recycled information floating around. In��� Read More »

How to stop worrying and love the AI

Borrowing from the Dr. Strangelove, I would say that it’s time we stop worrying about when AI will kill all humanity and start loving it 🙂 The industry appears to be suffering from cognitive dissonance. On one hand newfound fears about ChatGPT is replacing the euphoria and on the other, a plethora of AI startups… Read More »

AI will kill us all… and then do what?

In my short story AI.GOV, I posit – no intelligence will ever surpass that of its creator. ChatGPT, and other generative AIs, have not been able to change my opinion yet. The hue & cry and pleas to form some legislation to limit or ban further development in AI has more to do with corporate… Read More »

Moral imperatives of AI

In spite of 1000 leaders and researchers begging everyone to pause on AI, it continues to advance at an unprecedented pace. Every week, if not every day, a new tool or enhancements to the existing ones are announced. While the pace of AI cannot be paused, or stopped, the moral imperatives of AI cannot be… Read More »

The future is closer than it appears

Since the launch of ChatGPT, the world has gone bonkers over the future of humanity and artificial intelligence (AI). The narrative, the fear and the hype has reached the level of absurdity that we see whenever a pivotal technology captures public attention. I call launch of ChatGPT the ‘Netscape moment’ for AI. [Bias filter]I am… Read More »

Conflicted

I believe it was Ayn Rand who said that contradictions do not exist. It was an ‘a-ha’ moment for me when I first read this quote. This was also the principle behind my R-Quadrant. More recently, I have been pondering over the contradictions and the conflicted life we all live. Why is it that we… Read More »

The tree that would not be a tree

During one of our treks in Nagarahole jungle, I came across a sight I had not seen earlier in my life. A tree that was twisted line a vine! The first thought that came to my mind was – here’s a tree that seems to be wanting to be a vine. Then I noticed a cluster of trees around… Read More »

Rooh (Soul)

A while ago I said that sometimes a picture seizes your grace, but today I realized that sometimes it may pour out a few lines of a poem… I have followed @bellarosa000 on Twitter for her fragments of poetry and her photography. Most of the time I admire the pictures and compliment, but this picture… Read More »

Lessons learned.. or not!

The story, if it can be called such, was very poignant. It goes like this – A couple moved into a house that had the forest as its backyard. One day the man went for a walk in the forest and saw a branch full of chrysalis ready to metamorphosize into butterflies. He had read… Read More »
