AI will bring in a new era of enlightenment, says Meta's chief scientist - The Hindu BusinessLine

 

Extract from the article:

 

In the article "AI will bring in a new era of enlightenment," Yann LeCun, the chief scientist at Meta, expresses his belief in the transformational power of artificial intelligence (AI). LeCun discusses how AI systems can help humans achieve a higher level of understanding, akin to an 'era of enlightenment.' He emphasizes the importance of human-AI collaboration, where AI assists humans in achieving their goals by breaking them down into a series of sub-goals and actions. LeCun's insights shed light on the potential benefits and challenges of integrating AI into various aspects of life, paving the way for a more enlightened future.

 

My Take:

Thank You, Mustafa Suleyman

 

"I'd like to reflect on the idea of creating a united front for AI, similar to the Paris Agreement, as mentioned in my blog post. In line with LeCun's vision of AI ushering in an era of enlightenment, the concept of a global pact for AI governance gains significance. Just as LeCun advocates for a collaborative approach between humans and AI, fostering cooperation and understanding in the AI landscape aligns with the broader goal of leveraging technology for collective enlightenment."

 

Call to Action:

To Yann LeCun and other pioneers in AI, I urge you to continue advocating for inclusive and transparent frameworks that promote the responsible development and deployment of AI technologies. Let's work together towards establishing ethical standards and governance mechanisms that prioritize human well-being and foster a future where AI truly enhances enlightenment and progress.

Consumers worried about data breaches, says PwC India survey - The Economic Times

Extract from the article:

The article highlights the concerns of consumers regarding data breaches, as revealed by a survey conducted by PwC India. It emphasizes the growing unease among consumers about the security of their personal data due to increasing incidents of data breaches. The survey sheds light on how these breaches can significantly impact consumer trust in businesses, leading to potential repercussions such as decreased customer loyalty and engagement. Additionally, it underscores the importance for companies to prioritize data protection measures to regain consumer confidence and ensure the safety of sensitive information.

My Take:

 

An Exam with a Difference

 

In my blog from 2015, I discussed the idea of utilizing online questionnaires with a detailed ranking system and weightage allocation for different parameters to gather valuable insights. This concept aligns well with the current issue of data breaches highlighted in the PwC India survey. Implementing a structured approach like the one I proposed could help organizations in assessing and enhancing their data security measures effectively.

Call to Action:

To the businesses mentioned in the PwC India survey, I urge you to take proactive steps to address consumer worries regarding data breaches. Implement the suggestions put forth in the survey to strengthen your data security protocols and rebuild trust with your customers. By prioritizing data protection measures, you can not only safeguard sensitive information but also foster long-term relationships with a loyal and trusting consumer base.

Dear Shri Stalin : What Incentive do you offer ?

Extract from the article:

In a surprising statement, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister MK Stalin suggested that newly-wed couples should consider having 16 children instead of accumulating 16 forms of wealth. This unconventional proposal has garnered attention, with parallels drawn to a similar viewpoint expressed by Chandrababu Naidu regarding changes in parliamentary constituencies. The idea of prioritizing large families over traditional wealth accumulation has sparked discussions on societal norms and government policies.

My Take:

A. UP Population Bill - Opening Pandora's Box

"The proposed policy shift in Tamil Nadu echoes the complex discussions around population control that I delved into previously. It's intriguing to see how the concept of encouraging larger families intersects with the challenges posed by population explosion. The exceptions and considerations outlined in the UP Population Bill are especially relevant here, highlighting the need for nuanced approaches to demographic dynamics."

Call to Action:

To Chief Minister MK Stalin and policymakers, I urge a comprehensive evaluation of the social, economic, and environmental impacts of advocating for larger families. Considering the intricate balance between population growth and resource sustainability, fostering informed and inclusive discussions on family planning policies is crucial for shaping a sustainable future.

Boost for fight to save Great Indian Bustard as chick born through IVF

Extract from the article:

The recent development in the conservation efforts for the critically endangered Great Indian Bustard has brought a ray of hope with the successful birth of a chick through In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) techniques. With less than 150 Great Indian Bustards existing in the wild in India, this achievement marks a significant milestone in the fight to save this majestic bird species. The majority of these birds, around 90%, are predominantly found in the desert landscapes of Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Andhra Pradesh, and Karnataka.

---

My Take:

Where there is a Will, there are Two Ways

 

"The Supreme Court's orders impacting renewable energy projects due to the protection of the Great Indian Bustard highlight the delicate balance between conservation and development. My blog from 2021 foresaw the challenges faced by the industry with the conversion of overhead power lines to underground in the habitat of these endangered birds. The recent IVF success story underscores the urgency of finding sustainable solutions that protect biodiversity while allowing for progress."

Have Lines: Save Birds

 

"The Supreme Court's considerations to potentially lift the ban on transmission lines through Great Indian Bustard habitats showcase the ongoing discussions on how to best conserve this vulnerable species. In my blog from 2024, I highlighted the court's review of the ban on overhead transmission lines in critical habitats. This evolving narrative emphasizes the importance of adapting policies to strike a balance between environmental protection and infrastructural needs."

---

Call to Action:

To the Union government and conservation authorities involved in defining critical habitat areas for the Great Indian Bustard: "It's crucial to prioritize the protection of these endangered birds while considering the needs of various sectors. Collaborative efforts between policymakers, scientists, and industry stakeholders are imperative to ensure a sustainable future for both biodiversity and development."

Stitch-less ? A Nine Year long wait

 

 

It is said > A stitch in time, saves nine

I said  “ How about a Stitch-less garment ? “ – but I had to wait for nine years to realize !

Here is that realization :

https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=4654514671353902&ref=sharing

Most innovative breakthrough: No tailor required... Just feed the yarn in the machine and get the finished dress of your design and that too without stitches

Here is what I envisaged :

Ø  HOW FAR SHOULD WE SEE ?  .. ……………..  15  Feb  2016

 

Extract :

The rate at which innovations are continuously happening all around us , we need not look very far  !

 

In the internet age , the " Slow " ( to adapt ) will get overtaken by the " Fast & Nimble "

 

Even the " Big " will get left behind by the " Small "

 

 

How long before textile scientists come up with a fabric that does not require " Stitching " to make garments  ?

 

May be a fabric that can be " welded " or " glued " to form a garment  ?

 

And a automated assembly-line where :

 

*    Fabric is fed at one end

 

*    Glue ( or a welding wire ) , is fed at intermediate stages

 

*    Fabric gets cut into pieces as per online personalized  " designs " ordered  by visitors of Amazon / Flipkart /

      Snapdeal etc

 

 

What would this do to the manufacturers of domestic / industrial sewing machines and threads  ?

 

And then what would happen to such automated garment-making assembly lines when people install 3D Printing Machines in their homes ? - machines that can print garments as per designs downloaded from Net  ?

 

Ø  Tech World turning imagination real …………………………. 23  Feb  2016

 

Extract :

 

A BBC TV report last evening talked about the Chinese Manufacturers having developed machines that can carry out traditional Indian " Chikankari " embroidery on a saree within one hour what takes poor women of Lucknow, close to a hundred hours  ! 

 

And they are dumping these sarees in the Indian Market at one fourth the price  !

 

Some 5 lakh poor women in UP are in danger of being obsolete !

 

DIPP is planning to equip some 100 " Innovation Centres " at University Campuses across India , with 3D printers

 

How about some Indian Start Up developing a technology to 3D Print " Chikankari " sarees and make these software / hardware available to these poor women, to beat the Chinese at their own game ?
