The global competition between the United States and China continues apace. Technology is rightly seen as providing unique leverage to win this geopolitical race.

AI and future of work
BusinessLine On Campus
October 15, 2021
Artificial Intelligence is a horizontal technology. It means that AI applications are nearly everywhere. For example, AI will make its way to different functions (such as marketing, finance, HR, supply chain, IT, and customer support) and will be used in different sectors (such as banking, insurance, retail, manufacturing, healthcare, government, defence, and media).

Fighting against AI bias
BusinessLine On Campus
March 03, 2021
In my previous columns, I described how today’s Artificial Intelligence systems use deep learning execute tasks such as image recognition, speech processing, and text analysis. Such deep learning systems make use of advanced mathematical techniques and analyse vast amounts of data to make recommendations, and are even used to automate decisions. On the other hand, as humans we have (individual and collective, and conscious and unconscious) prejudices. Our cognitive capabilities are limited, and there are constraints on how much data we can reasonably process. So, AI can be expected to make objective and unbiased decisions compared to us, right? What then is AI bias or algorithmic bias?
How AI and deep learning are helping marketing

The possibilities are many but we should distinguish between tactics and strategy. AI gives marketers turbo-charged tactical tools. But it is marketers who have to think of the big picture, use AI and data to better understand customers, and add value in a mutually beneficial way.
Preparing successful HR leaders in the age of AI

December 23, 2020
Let’s say you see a job advertisement. You click through and read the job description. The role seems interesting and you email your CV. A couple of days later, you are notified that you are shortlisted, and an interview is scheduled. You also take an assessment test. Then, you get interviewed. The following week you learn that alas, you are not selected. But you get a nice and polite email wishing you all the best.
Diving into Deep Learning
BusinessLine On Campus
December 08, 2020
AI is certainly a hot area today, but it is by no means a new field. In fact, the term Artificial Intelligence was coined nearly 65 years ago in 1956. For nearly two decades after that, there was a wave of great hope around intelligent computers and the hard problems they’d be able to solve. But the first AI wave was followed by many years of disappointment because of the limitations of AI, and the funding for AI projects dried up. Later, a second wave of an AI boomed in the early 1980s, and again followed by an “AI winter” till the early 1990s.
How machine learning differs from traditional software
BusinessLine On Campus
November 25, 2020
In the last column, I discussed the difference between artificial intelligence and machine learning, and referred to narrow intelligence, which is a machine’s ability to perform a single task very well. Now, let’s use a more formal definition. The below definition is from Professor Tom Mitchell of Carnegie Mellon University:
A computer program is said to learn from experience E with respect to some class of tasks T and performance measure P, if its performance at tasks in T, as measured by P, improves with experience E. Among the several definitions of machine learning, this one stands out because of its practicality for managers. Leaving aside the underlying technical details and complexity for a moment, this helps managers make sense of an AI system in terms of:
What decisions the software needs to make (T)
What data to collect (E)
How they will evaluate its results (P)
Getting the nitty-gritty of artificial intelligence right

If you are a non-technical person learning a technical subject or trying to understand a technical field such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), let me share a simple tip that will help you a lot. Don’t let the complex-sounding technical terms confuse you. In due course, you will get comfortable with terminologies if you focus on first principles and try to get an intuitive understanding of the concepts.

Governance and Risk Allocation in Public Private Partnerships
Strategic Management Society
December 13, 2008
In this study we examine the factors underlying the distribution of risk in multi-party projects. The context of this study is the formation and performance of public-private-partnerships (PPP) in infrastructure projects in India. PPP are becoming prominent as a means of providing infrastructure without directly impacting upon a country’s public sector’s finances, especially the Indian government’s capacity to borrow is hindered for large infrastructure projects that often run in the tune of one billion dollars or more each project. Hence, it is interesting to look at the risks involved in PPP and how they can be managed efficiently. In this paper, we examine the successful cases of risk allocation in Indian context and formulate a model of collaboration in multi-partner execution projects based on the different assumptions underlying risk allocation and risk management.

Digital Marketing Reference Models
Real Story Group
August 20, 2018
Traditional IT-oriented architectural reference models only provide a layered inventory of digital marketing systems and provide a baseline for further analysis of functional, integration, and security/privacy needs.
However, a complementary approach to digital marketing as a strategy, practice, and technology examines the efficacy and usability of marketing systems from the perspective of the customer. A customer-centric reference model can more closely tie systems analysis to business value via the pursuit of brand awareness, customer engagement, and increased sales.
This paper examines both types of reference models — enterprise-oriented as well as customer-centric — and offers advice to organizations seeking to systemically improve the effectiveness of their omni-channel marketing.

AI: What it is, isn’t, and how to succeed at it
Deloitte
January 20, 2021
AI: It's time is now, but critical issues await effective solutions
Artificial intelligence is all the rage in nearly every sector, but many people still can’t adequately define it, especially vis-à-vis its complement, machine learning. There are also concerns about algorithm bias and failure rates with AI projects. In this episode, Mike Kavis sits down with rp2ai Research founder and CEO Kash Kompella to discuss his book, “Practical Artificial Intelligence Enterprise Playbook.” The pair discuss AI—what it is, what it isn’t, bias and ethics concerns, and how to get (and keep) AI projects on track. Kash’s take is that humans need to be constantly in the loop and that governance plays a critical role in preventing both bias and AI project failure.
Being able to identify [AI] use cases, having realistic expectations...becomes very important.
