One sure sign that the hype of any technology is ebbing is when you see the media coverage and articles that are insightful, pragmatic, less hyperbolic and are not recycled content. In recent months, I have observed such green shoots related to AI. My gut instinct is that most of the enterprise have conducted one…
“The journey of a thousand miles starts with a single step,” said Lao Tzu. It took me almost a decade from the time I had the idea of ‘theLie Llama’ and it took my co-host, Gunjan, and I about six months of deliberations to take the first step. Then it took us about four months…
It was interesting to see that the idea I had proposed in my blog on moral imperatives of AI about reskilling workers displaced by AI showed up in the policy discussions of India’s finance minister. In my most recent keynote for PMI Chapter of Gujarat, India, the same question came up again – will my…
Obituaries of Generative AI or artificial intelligence in general have started trickling in across the media. This article in Fast Company predicts the onset of AI winter for the reasons that are typical in the early phase of any technology transition. Those of us who saw the boom-and-bust or hype-and-disillusionment cycle of the Internet would…
All of a sudden, every company is an AI company! People who, a year ago, would have mistaken the acronym ‘LLM’ to be another flavor of ice-cream claim to be developing foundation models.

There is a lot of noise and recycled information floating around. In the last one month…
In my short story AI.GOV, I posit – no intelligence will ever surpass that of its creator. ChatGPT, and other generative AIs, have not been able to change my opinion yet. The hue & cry and pleas to form some legislation to limit or ban further development in AI has more to do with corporate…
In spite of 1000 leaders and researchers begging everyone to pause on AI, it continues to advance at an unprecedented pace. Every week, if not every day, a new tool or enhancements to the existing ones are announced. While the pace of AI cannot be paused, or stopped, the moral imperatives of AI cannot be…
Since the launch of ChatGPT, the world has gone bonkers over the future of humanity and artificial intelligence (AI). The narrative, the fear and the hype have reached the level of absurdity that we see whenever a pivotal technology captures public attention. I call ChatGPT the ‘Netscape moment’ for AI. [Bias filter] I am not…
I believe it was Ayn Rand who said that contradictions do not exist. It was an ‘a-ha’ moment for me when I first read this quote. This was also the principle behind my R-Quadrant. More recently, I have been pondering over the contradictions and the conflicted life we all live. Why is it that we…
