That's an interesting and somewhat accurate way to put it, but there is more to generative AI than just advanced auto-complete. Generative AI, or generative models, are designed to generate new data samples that resemble a given dataset.

CTO Alert: Generative AI’s transformative potential for IT landscape
LinkedIn
July 17, 2023
In this edition of DEEPakAI: AI Demystified Newsletter, I take a peek at McKinsey & Company's #generativeai guide for the #cio and #cto and then delve deeper into the "reimagining the technology function" aspect.

We'll look at some specific use cases, the perils of dragging one's feet and also a step-by-step approach to manage the IT and technology environment transformation that Generative AI can bring.

As always we end with some interesting #ai related news and nuggets that caught my attention during the week.

Future of AI and more
LinkedIn
June 26, 2023
Future of AI: "Human Intelligence Augmented Artificial Intelligence" ?

Looking into the long term, we're already witnessing advancements in AI-enhanced humans, such as neural links and implants that assist individuals with physical limitations.

However, there is untapped potential in the human brain. New technologies may emerge to unlock this potential in conjunction with AI, allowing us to accomplish even greater feats. Imagine harnessing the idle processing power of our brains and using it to augment AI for various tasks—it would be phenomenal. A Human Intelligence Augmented Artificial Intelligence of sorts.

This concept could be likened to the Napster of human brains in a peer-to-peer network, although the exact form it would take is uncertain. Humans have previously attempted to utilize idle computing power for projects like the search for extraterrestrial intelligence. Similarly, we could use AI to better understand our own brains and potentially address human problems.

This journey has just begun, and there is much to be excited about. It's not something to fear, but rather a source of enthusiasm and discovery. Of course, checks and balances are necessary to ensure responsible development, as humans have done for generations.

Can AI “Think” ?
mytechmag.com
April 19, 2019
There’s a lot of talk and fears about AI replacing humans , but on one key aspect – “thinking”, it still has a lot of catching up to do. Some may argue that using the term “Intelligence” to describe what it does, with that key attribute missing, is wrong. At best it is still “Automation” or perhaps “Intelligent Automation”/”Smart Automation”.

Can AI "Think"? Does AI have "Thoughts"?
LinkedIn
April 11, 2019
I had first posed the question in 2019. Even with Generative AI, I do not think we have yet reached a "Thinking AI". Does AI yet have the capability to have random thoughts "play in its head" and influence its "mood" like they do for us humans?
Will it ever ?
Is that what will distinguish AI from human intelligence. With AI being more directed towards a specific effort while Human Intelligence being more random,unpredictable and hence more creative?

AI Meets Fracking: Artificial Intelligence /Machine Learning in the Oil & Gas Sector

January 30, 2019
The traditional components of AI – perception, decision-making/cognition and action map up quite precisely with the business problems the Oil & Gas sector deals with- collect and process lots of data (perception); where to drill? (decision-making); and how to drill and process most efficiently (action). This is my take as an outsider looking in.

And then we peek at AI trying to to read your mood! "AI isn’t great at decoding human emotions. So why are regulators targeting the tech?"

The Problem with GenAI: Where's the Elevator Music?
LinkedIn
August 07, 2023
In this edition of the #DEEPakAI: AI Demystified newsletter I talk about the missing "music" of #generativeai: it's "heart" and "sense of purpose" and why finding that is essential to alleviate the concerns and fears many have about it.
-------------------------------------
To get the human engaged with this AI journey, they'll need to build it a "heart".
A heartless decimator of human jobs should not be the dominant narrative.
And it does not need to be.
---------------------------------------

We look at some important AI related news from last week: North American Banks leading the race for AI; Calls for weaponization of AI; why most companies are fearful of their employees using AI at work; and news from Google about its AI powered search getting nore video and better links.

I also share some highlights from my recent conversation with Gamiel Gran (Mayfield Fund) on his CXO of the Future podcast.

Digital Transformation: A "Human Approach"
Xenergie
June 19, 2020
Digital Transformations at many companies are leaving in their wake - burnt out or out-of-work humans. Some have started accepting it as an obvious corollary or byproduct. But is that really so ? Can an astute C-suite and thoughtful CIO digitally transform their organizations while retaining their essential "humaneness"/"humanity"? Lorna and Deepak think so. In this conversation today they share some of their own experiences which led them to conclude that Human+Digital makes more sense than Digital alone for delivering lasting value and growth. The journey has its ups and downs but is one well worth embarking upon

Some really interesting perspectives on how to be future-ready, individual values versus the leader values, the culture of the organisation and interlinking the goals of both the public and the organisation together. We must reflect, accept the need to change, and lean in! Lastly, this transformation only works if we work together.
