Lately the e-learning platforms in India have had a rough time. In today’s post I put forward the hypothesis that the trouble with them runs deeper than just a post-Covid slackening of demand. And like with all troubled times, in the challenge they face also lies opportunity.
It is my belief AI will change human civilisation at paradigm-shifting level that the harnessing of fire did. It will do so both at the societal level, through the accelerated progress of science and technology as also in empowering the individual through services like Concierge Intelligence as outlined by me in a previous post. To realise this potential AI will need to go beyond seeking patterns in Big Data to gaining the agency to be curious, to explore and to be creative. This post is a musing on this possibility.
Many fear AI as a tool of repressive regimes and rapacious big business. Instead, I think AI will empower the individual just as the smartphone did through a service I call Concierge Intelligence
Will Big Data powered by a layer of AI will become a public utility like electricity and water?. Available to anyone. For a price of course. As today’s post on my blog here is a short, short story to give the thought narrative life. The game is afoot!
For the past year or so AI has become a big interest of mine both at the professional and the philosophical level. After a few days of wallowing in the shock of the Covid19 disruption I have begun to think about the deeper changes this Black Swan event will effect in all aspect of human society and civilisation. Today’s post on my blog is about a possible paradigm shift that can happen in the area of particular interest to me – AI and the related fields of Big Data and IoT. Look forward to your comments and views.
As AI begins to move centre stage in human affairs it is time we start evolving broader laws governing it. This post briefly postulates one such tenet
