Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

FAST will overtake SLOW ?



It is said :


In the internet age , the BIG will not overtake the SMALL


The FAST will overtake the SLOW  !



In following earlier blogs ( sent as emails to Policy Makers ) , I had urged the Prime Minister to appoint a ,



Technology Evaluation and Acquisition Minister [  TEAM  ]

Too  Late ?  As always  !   [  19  Sept  2017  ]


Those in need to know how tiny Dubai is all set to overtake the mighty India , may want to read the following news appearing at :





Dubai just appointed a “ State Minister for Artificial Intelligence “



A NEW PHASE

Governments around the world are beginning to understand the potential and importance of artificial intelligence (AI).

International acceptance has spread with the implementation of AI regulations, like what has been created in Germany. For others, like the U.S., incorporating AI begins with recommendations on how to move forward with the tech.

In the United Arab Emirates (UAE), however, the government took AI adoption one step further by installing a minister in-charge of AI.

The UAE’s first State Minister for Artificial Intelligence is 27-year-old Omar Bin Sultan Al Olama.

Olama is one of six newly appointed ministers, three of whom were women, who represent a new phase in the UAE’s pursuit of “ future skills, future sciences and future technology, as we prepare for the centenary to ensure a better future for our generations,” UAE Vice-President and Prime Minister Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum said during Thursday’s announcement, according to Gulf News.

IMPORTANCE OF AI


As tech companies begin to center their business models around AI, it’s no surprise that a country like the UAE and a city like Dubai — which has invested heavily in technologies that are future-focused — want to be at the forefront of this development.

Dubai, for example, plans to put robot cops on the streets by 2030 and they’ve also been pushing to get autonomous vehicles on the city’s roads and in its skies.


“We want the UAE to become the world’s most prepared country for artificial intelligence,” said Prime Minister Shaikh Mohammad.

Aside from AI, Dubai is also investing in a number of hyperloop projects and even a plan to reach Mars.

=================================

Dear  Policy Makers :


Since we already have a Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology ( MeIT ) for a long time , we are ahead of Dubai as far as AI is concerned


What we need is a Minister in charge of ANY type of technology ( examples shown in my blog ) which can benefit our country


In appointment of TEAM , we could still be FAST and have a " First Mover Advantage "
