When it comes to the auto industry, the rest of the world is so advanced that cities like California are halting operations of self-driven level-5 cars whereas, India is still dealing with levels 2 & 3 of autonomous driving. Will India ever catch up and how will such technological adoption be different in our country? This is the note on which hosts, Leslie D’Monte and Jayanth N Kolla begin this episode with Mr. Rajesh Uppal, MEB (HR, IT, Safety & DE), Maruti Suzuki India Limited. As they proceed toward the meat of the episode, they discuss the tech developments over 30 years in India and how the Gartner Hype Curve offers the universal truth to understand the lifecycle of every technology. They speak about the agility framework to understand the impact of tech by creating early prototypes. They also reason why it's important to encourage a culture of continuous innovation and how can it be applied to the automotive industry which takes a comparatively longer time to release reliable products. Mr. Uppal brings to the fore, with the advent of Gen AI, - How has the focus shifted from efficiency to effectiveness or a customer-first approach? - How advanced is the application of AI and robotics in the auto sector? - How can companies achieve measurable impact on this metric successfully? - What are the challenges of automating legacy applications? - How can the workforce be guided to ease into change management? If you have a keen interest in the Indian auto industry and what drives it, this episode is for you. Tune in now! Read more

In this episode of AI Rising, hosts Leslie D'monte and Jayanth N Kolla take a closer look at the Isreal-Palestine conflict, shining light on the formerly impenetrable Iron Dome, how Hamas managed to penetrate it using low-tech, and how this situation has led to funds drying up for the AI Industry. Referring to the 60-Minute interview with Geoffery Hinton, the godfather of Artificial intelligence, the hosts segue into a discussion of why AGI washing needs to stop and how accepting the opaqueness of deep learning algorithms is healthy but instilling deep-seated anxiety when it comes to AGI is distracting and counterproductive. On a light note, they even contemplate the possibility of humans being treated like animals by AGI and how that could be a blessing in disguise. Having said that, a chatbot has a trillion connections as compared to a human brain which has about 100 trillion connections, and that’s where lies the differentiator. Because, beyond a certain level of complexity, the human brain is incomprehensible to us too. And so, the hosts argue that we don’t give the human brain enough credit; challenging the idea of AI replicating human-like behavior and highlighting the unique capabilities of both humans and machines. While discussing the near future of AI, they speak of how and why RetNets will replace Transformers. And how using stable diffusion, AI is now being used to tap into the intricate patterns of human brainwaves, thoughts and dreams.

‘Law is glacial. Nothing happens in a tearing hurry.’, says N.S. Nappinai - Advocate, Supreme Court and Founder, Cyber Saathi, So how does it keep up with the compound effects of AI and emerging technologies today? What could become of the class-action suit filed against OpenAI by Authors Guild & authors like John Grisham for plagiarism? How will the definitions of copyright, licensing, etc., change? Can private companies like Meta act as a sovereign, deciding to almost extort the governments and the regulators by withholding services? India’s Data Protection Act doesn’t use the word - profiling - unlike the EU’s GDPR. How does that help protect Indians from individual privacy and rights? How does the exclusion of voluntarily shared data from the Data Protection Act become its weakest link? How will the Digital India Act become dynamic enough to not just protect us against deep fakes but also against other newer technologies in the future? How can the legal framework be structured to empower the beneficial use of AI? How can AI regulations affect speculative investments and volatility of Cryptocurrency, blockchain and CBDC? And finally, amongst so much polarization, can AI be used to fight cybercrimes? N.S. Nappinai discusses it all along with hosts, Leslie D’monte and Jayanth N Kolla. Read more
