Jury on AI is still out!

The Jury on the subject of treacherous nature of AI is still out. However, if we observe our own evolution - it may help us identify the critical point of inflexion between  AI being productive and it being inimical.

To begin with we were innately better evolved than all other species just due to one capability - "thinking". We then gradually developed skills to communicate amongst each other and there on think for the community and that's how we have reached, where we have.

Now in the technology landscape, with  IoT - we are giving machines a capability to communicate with us. In near future, with AI we plan to give them self learning and subsequently collaboration capabilities.

Drawing parallels between human and machine evolution journeys, I believe, until a significant foreseeable future - AI & Self learning will be very beneficial in terms of enhancing productivity, reliability and reducing costs. Self learning Machines interacting with humans is safe and productive zone.  I would categorize the M2M interaction self-learning machine is a warning zone.It is a warning zone because it will be very hard to ascertain as to when these self-learning Machines start thinking not only for themselves but start thinking as a community. That might be the point of no return.

But this piece of music has the capability to not only reduce you to a calm state of mind but also a state of heightened emotional awareness. It all begins with an initial flurry of notes. Don’t be misled by this initial gush of musical winds picking up a few leaves, it will smoothly draw to confident & bold stop. Then begins the story of a few Indianised blues chords shuffling and walking with the support of musical anklets and taking you right into the beginning of the song. At this point, the vocals of Papon start spinning the magical world. The vocals and the subtle music in the backdrop are so much intertwined that it would need...

Why Socialist Government Selected by Democratic process in India is not a good Idea?

Democracy finds its origins in Socratic school of thought which was later documented by Plato in the well-known artifact - The Republic. The Socratic Utopian society was based on partial democracy. Socrates valued the immense power that the veto in a choice of government beholds. However, as per many accounts, he wanted this veto power to lie more in hands of intellectually blessed minds, rather than all commoners. He believed that such important choices should be in hands of well-informed minds or lest the Democracy will fail. Though the way we see Democracy today -in principle, it has now a very strong underpinning of the right to social equality(irrespective of intellect or capability). In fact it can be said to be the extension of the idea of social equality in the dimension of Politics and National administration.  From an ideological spectrum standpoint, democracy can be said to be a more center left. When Idea of Social egalitarianism is stretched to the extreme right, i...
