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?"

KBC is catching up !

 


 

I am a big fan of KBC ( Kaun Banega Crorepati ) show on SONY TV and manage to watch most episodes

Of late, I heard Amitabh exhorting the viewers to “ participate online “ by downloading mobile app “ KBC Play Along “ and win Rs 1 lakh , sitting at home . This made me look up the following instructions on the working of this App :

[ source > KBC Play Along – How to Play & Earnings – Kaun Banega Crorepati 2022 ]

 






My  Take :

 

I am sure , before the next season of KBC , SONY TV will improve its offering over my following suggestion :

Ø  Kaun Banega Crorepati ( KBC ) and Artificial Intelligence ( AI )……………. [  22  Oct  2021  ]

 

Extract :

By now, KBC has been around for some 20 years

During that period, may be 1,000 participants set on the Hot Seat and ( may be, on an average ), answered 10 questions each, - taking the total to ( say ), 10,000 questions, each listing 4 “ Options “

These questions centered around ( may be ) 10 distinct “ Genres / Broad Topics “

A total of  “ 10,000 questions / 40,000  options “ divided among 10 “ Topics “

Of these 40,000 options , 10,000 were the RIGHT options , giving each option a  25 % probability ( 1 correct out of 4 options )

Now, if you have the COMPREHENSIVE  DATA-BASE ( of questions / sequence of Genres / offered options / right options / participant background etc., ), could you subject this BIG DATA to AI , to be able to “ PREDICT “ the “ right option “ to the “ next question “ that Shri Amitabh Bachhan would ask ?

 

Who knows !

May be yes , what with GPT 3.0 and WuDao 2.0 around !

And with AI softwares on their way to decipher the EMOTIONS in the voice of Shri Bacchan  as he prompts the participants – providing clear hints of the RIGHT answer ?

Should SONY TV be worried ?

Not really worry

But then SONY could try following ( an improvement over a somewhat similar feature that it has already implemented )  :

      Ø  Online / instantaneous / dynamic / real-time, VIEWER-POLL by millions of world-wide, residence-based KBC viewers

      Ø  Offer / Sell , a smart mobile device ( call it, VIEWER-POLL ) ,  which closely resembles ( in size and with improved features ) the device which SONY gives to its studio-based audience for AUDIENCE POLL.

      Ø  Immediately upon purchase, each Viewer-Owner of the device would need to visit the SONY website and register himself ( as device owner ),providing full details about himself , along with UNIQUE device number ( may be facial recognition as well ). Alternatively, such REGISTRATION can be enabled from the device itself, obviating need to visit SONY website

      Ø  As soon as Shri Bachhan says > “  for XYZ rupees,  Ye raha your question on the screen “ , the same question with all 4 options, to appear on the screens of VIEWER-POLL devices

      Ø  Viewers need to select , what they think is the RIGHT option, WITHIN 10 seconds- and press the icon SUBMIT

      Ø  The question ( with its options and submit button ) disappears from the screen of the VIEWER-POLL device after 10 seconds. A kind of Self-Destruct

      Ø  As soon as SUBMIT button gets pressed, the data will get entered into the Central Server of SONY, against the name of the concerned viewer.

      Ø  With each SUBMIT press, a HISTORICAL LOG (  database ) will get created on the server, for each polling viewer.

      Ø  Database will show if the RIGHT option got selected and CREDIT the Viewer’s account with the prize-money won

      Ø  At the end of the SEASON, the viewers will be rewarded with ( say ) 1 % of the WON-AMOUNT to their credit

      Ø  This  info will also get published on KBC episodes

      Ø  Selection of winners of HOT SEAT for the next episode, could also be based on this results

 

NOTES :

      Ø  The VIEWER-POLL device is “ Purpose Specific “ and cannot be used for anything else

      Ø  It will display / play, all the ADVERTISEMENTS , sponsored on KBC episodes

      Ø  If viewer turns-off the device during the Advertisements, it will not restart till the next day’s episode

Ø  With such an incentive, KBC will become a truly PARTICIPATIVE – INTERACTIVE program and attract millions to join
