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

 

With regards,
