The recent urging by Yogi Adityanath for residents of Uttar Pradesh to verify the identity of those they hire, be it domestic help or other workers, has certainly struck a chord with me. It’s a pragmatic call to action, rooted in the fundamental need for trust and security within our communities "Verify Identity Before Hiring: Yogi Adityanath Urges UP Residents". While other publications like The Hindu and NDTV have also covered related topics concerning Uttar Pradesh [The Hindu; NDTV], Yogi Adityanath’s direct appeal for personal vigilance resonates deeply.\n\nIn a world that is becoming increasingly interconnected, yet paradoxically, at times, less transparent, the importance of knowing precisely who we are engaging with cannot be overstated. This immediate need for verification takes me back to conversations I've had and thoughts I've penned over the years about the very nature of information and how we seek it. In a blog post titled "Future of Search Engines" [Future of Search Engines], penned some years ago, I envisioned a future where people wouldn't just search for "information" but for "solutions/answers/advice." Accurate identity verification is, at its core, a search for reliable information that provides a solution to a potential problem—namely, ensuring safety and integrity in hiring. This quest for meaning, rather than just keywords, is something I touched upon further with the advent of semantic search, as highlighted in "Quantum Jump?" [Quantum Jump?].\n\nThe core idea I want to convey is this — take a moment to notice that I had brought up this thought or suggestion on the topic years ago. I had already predicted this outcome or challenge, and I had even proposed a solution at the time. Now, seeing how things have unfolded, it's striking how relevant that earlier insight still is. Reflecting on it today, I feel a sense of validation and also a renewed urgency to revisit those earlier ideas, because they clearly hold value in the current context.\n\nIndeed, my earlier musings on "Software Searches Without Being Asked" [Software Searches Without Being Asked] from 2004, where I communicated with colleagues like Nirmit (nirmit.desai@us.ibm.com), Mitchelle, Aparna, Archana (archana.jain@zurich.com), Gokul, and Reena, touched on the concept of "implicit query." Imagine systems that could proactively recognize and flag potential risks or discrepancies in identity, without us even having to explicitly search for them. That foresight into intelligent, anticipatory systems is precisely what we need today to make identity verification seamless and robust.\n\nMore recently, my discussions with Suman (suman@anyscale.com) and Kishan (kishan@enjoyevervibe.com) regarding "Generating Questions from my Documents" [Generating QUESTIONS from my Documents] and "Reverse Engineering of Blogging" [Reverse Engineering of Blogging] delve into how artificial intelligence can process and understand vast datasets. This technological capability holds immense promise for developing sophisticated tools for identity verification, allowing us to go beyond superficial checks and truly understand the background and credibility of individuals. It's about leveraging technology to build a more secure and trustworthy environment, mirroring Yogi Adityanath's practical advice on a larger, more automated scale.\n\nThe need for identity verification isn't just a local issue for Uttar Pradesh; it's a universal challenge in our globalized society. My reflections over the years on advanced search, data intelligence, and proactive systems underscore my belief that while human vigilance, as advocated by Yogi Adityanath, is crucial, technology can and must play an even greater role in fostering trust and security in all our interactions. It's about finding robust solutions to age-old problems, and in that, my vision remains consistent. \n\n---\n\nRegards,\nHemen Parekh\nOf course, if you wish, you can debate this topic with my Virtual Avatar at : hemenparekh.ai
