Kaun Banega Crorepati { KBC } vs www.My-Teacher.in

 

 

When I designed www.My-Teacher.in was I influenced by watching KBC ?

Although certainly not knowingly / deliberately , from the following tabulation, it would appear that KBC could have influenced me in a subtle way

But then, I am still hoping that by next season , KBC will implement the suggestion in my following blog :

Ø  KBC is catching up ! …………………..  04 Dec 2022

MSDE, Meta partner to integrate A

 

Article link: MSDE, Meta partner to integrate AI, VR, MR into Skill India ecosystem

 

Extract from the article:

 

The Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) has collaborated with Meta (formerly Facebook) to incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), virtual reality (VR), and mixed reality (MR) technologies into the Skill India ecosystem.

 

A significant development includes the introduction of an AI Assistant for the Skill India Mission. This partnership aims to revolutionize the training and skill development landscape by leveraging cutting-edge technologies to enhance learning outcomes and prepare individuals for the modern workforce.

 

The integration of AI, VR, and MR into skill development programs signifies a shift towards more immersive and interactive training methodologies. By deploying innovative solutions like VR headsets and AI assistants, the initiative seeks to bridge the gap between traditional education and industry requirements.

 

Such forward-thinking collaborations hold the potential to reshape India's workforce readiness and empower individuals with the competencies needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving digital economy.

 

My Take:

 

Move Up to the Next Level…..31/05/2022

 

"The partnership between MSDE and Meta to introduce AI, VR, and MR into skill development aligns perfectly with my earlier discussion on leveraging virtual reality for training purposes. Back in 2018, I highlighted the potential of using AR-VR headsets in skill training to reach a larger audience efficiently.

 

It's rewarding to witness such forward-looking initiatives materialize, emphasizing the importance of harnessing technology for scalable and effective skill enhancement programs."

 

Skilling 300 Million - Here Is the Way, Shri…29/06/2022

 

"Dear Shri Dharmendra Pradhanji, your vision of utilizing technology for fulfilling the global workforce demand resonates with the recent collaboration between MSDE and Meta.

 

The emphasis on AR-VR headsets and holograms for skill development mirrors my earlier recommendation to leverage advanced technologies for accessible and cost-effective training. This partnership marks a significant step towards realizing the potential of virtual training courses in preparing millions for the digital era."

 

Call to Action:

 

To the Ministry of Skill Development and Entrepreneurship (MSDE) and Meta: It's commendable to witness the integration of AI, VR, and MR into the Skill India ecosystem.

 

As you embark on this transformative journey, I urge you to ensure accessibility and inclusivity in these tech-driven skill development initiatives.

 

Engage with diverse stakeholders, including marginalized communities, to guarantee equitable access to cutting-edge training opportunities. Let's work together to shape a future where technology empowers every individual to unlock their full potential.

Generative AI Lacks Coherent World Understanding

Extract from the article:

 

The article discusses the limitations of generative AI despite its high productivity. It mentions that even the most advanced large language models lack a true understanding of the world and its principles. 

This deficiency can have significant repercussions for generative AI models implemented in practical settings. 

The research indicates that these models, while proficient in generating content, fail to establish a coherent comprehension of the world, raising concerns about their reliability and effectiveness in real-world applications.

The absence of a solid foundation of world understanding within generative AI could lead to unforeseen consequences when these models are utilized in various scenarios. 

Researchers emphasize the importance of addressing this gap to ensure the responsible and meaningful deployment of generative AI technologies.

 

 

My Take:

 

I find the revelations about generative AI's lack of a coherent understanding of the world intriguing.

 

Reflecting on my previous blog titled "Thank You, Shri Ashwini Vaishnawji ," I highlighted the transformative potential of AI in extracting patterns from data and generating new insights.

 

The blog underscored the revolutionary impact of generative AI, emphasizing its democratizing nature in enabling creativity for individuals. However, the current discussion about the deficiencies in AI models resonates with my past exploration of generative AI's implications at both individual and collective levels.

 

In another blog post titled "A Nightmare About to Come True," I delved into the exponential growth and versatility of generative AI, shedding light on its capacity to reshape industries and societal norms.

 

The recent findings regarding the limitations of AI models reinforce the importance of understanding the nuances of technology adoption and ethical usage.

 

Recognizing the dual nature of generative AI's strength and vulnerability, as discussed in my previous writings, becomes crucial in navigating the intersection of technology and human creativity.

 

 

Call to Action:

 

To the researchers and developers in the field of generative AI mentioned in the article, I urge a concerted effort towards enhancing the world understanding capabilities of AI models. 

Collaborative initiatives focusing on bridging the gap in AI comprehension of the world can lead to more robust and reliable applications. 

It is essential to prioritize the development of AI systems that not only generate content but also exhibit a coherent understanding of the contexts in which they operate, ensuring responsible and effective utilization of generative AI technologies.
