Samiran Ghosh
Co-Founder at unblox Solutions
Mumbai, India
I am currently working with a Senior Advisor with several startups in fintech, artificial intelligence, and blockchain. During the last two years with these startups, I have helped build and launch an augmented analytics platform with Rockmetric, a credit risk platform for Rubix Data Sciences, and a patented blockchain ecosystem for Archethic.
In 26 years, I have held leadership roles at McKinsey, Microsoft, IBM, Dun & Bradstreet, IBM, and TCS. As Chief Digital Advisor at Microsoft, I helped launch platforms like the Connected Vehicle, Digital Agriculture, and Smart Cities. Before that, during my 14 years at IBM, I did multiple roles across Consulting, Sales, Project Delivery, Research, and Product Development.
I took a one-year sabbatical from IBM to work for Aadhaar, the world’s most extensive digital identity program. Here I helped develop the Application Authentication Framework, which allows key stakeholders could engage with each other in the UIDAI ecosystem.
I am a regular contributor to leading journals, a keynote speaker at industry forums, the AI & Ethics Journal editorial board, and a TEDx Speaker. Have co-authored books on AI and Blockchain, which Wiley published and was featured in the 20 Best New Fintech Books to Read in 2020 by BookAuthority. I am an MIT Technology Review Global Panel member, a Council Member and Contributor for the Forbes Technology Council, and a digital member of the World Economic Forum.
In 2021, I became a board member at IAC, a global expert and pioneer in Hyperautomation. I was also nominated as a Senior Research Fellow at the Digital Euro Association. I just co-founded my blockchain web3 startup - unblox solutions, and co-hosting a funtech podcast - 3 Techies Banter.
On my own time, I work with animal welfare organizations and am the proud parent of Toffee, a golden labrador retriever.

A supercomputer pinpointed and eased congestion in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Eagle (the supercomputer) operated by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) used machine learning to trawl through tons of traffic data from satellites, traffic cameras, weather stations, patterns, etc. For example, Eagle found that traffic lights on a road leading into Chattanooga were causing delays, leading to congestion. Switching traffic timings resulted in a 16% decrease in fuel use. In addition, Eagle itself reuses 97% of the wasted heat in other facilities in the complex, making it very environmentally conscious.

If you're my age, you will remember the critical premise of the 1992 classic "Sneakers", starring Robert Redford and Ben Kingsley - a top-secret black box that can break the encryption of any computer system. Quantum computing is that "black box." In the next 2-7 years, quantum computers could change the face of cybersecurity. Once they can factor products of large prime numbers (the basis of current cryptography) (expected between 2024 and 2030) – existing cyber-defense mechanisms will be rendered obsolete. We need to plan for encryption in the quantum future.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the best thing to happen to our lives. It helps us read our emails, complete our sentences, get directions, do online shopping, get dining and entertainment recommendations, and even make it easier to connect with old friends or make new ones on social media. AI is not only skilling itself at many human jobs; it is also making decisions for us.
The question is whether these decisions can be trusted. To elaborate, does AI-aided recruitment facilitate or reject the right candidate selection? Is the Tinder match made in heaven or by the algorithm? Who is being sent to jail — criminals or innocents predicted by AI bias?

The 100 Most Influential People In AI
AI Newsletter

Those who know artificial intelligence (AI) only from science fiction were probably surprised by this Guardian op-ed written by the AI GPT-3.
“Artificial intelligence will not destroy humans,” it says. “Believe me.”
Whether or not you find this reassuring, AI is now integrated into our daily lives. For example, Siri, Amazon, and Facebook rely on narrow (or weak) AI, focused on specific tasks.
General (or strong) AI can do much more, and AI experts now predict that a general AI rivaling or exceeding human intelligence is on its way. Even if we never reach this ‘singularity,’ AI will change how we do business, learn, drive, and even create.
To help you keep up with these developments, we’ve compiled a diverse list of researchers, business leaders, entrepreneurs, and journalists who bring unique perspectives on AI.

TEDx Talk by Samiran Ghosh - Is Eternal Life Possible
YouTube
September 04, 2020
I revisited my TEDx Talk very recently and realized how relevant it was to the new world in transition. All of us seem to be redefining our lives and I thought - why not add some sub-titles and upload a Ver 2.0 of this talk. We all seem to be a new version of ourselves (or at least trying to figure out one).
A big challenge with these talks is not being able to choose one's subject but work with the one provided - and an abstract one at that. Further, working with Microsoft at that point in time also had its challenges - adopting any position on the future of technology would be grounds for disqualification.
At the same time, the expectation was that there would be some unique and thought-provoking insights leveraging my experience. I chose to interpret 'Coming Back to Life' in as many ways as I could - eternal life, another life, a second life, a better life, the life you always wanted to live. But to be able to speak with conviction, I had to speak on something close to my heart." That's how my favorite comic characters, movies, and my golden labrador, Toffee found their way into the talk - along with their unique philosophies!

14 Smart Ways To Keep Your Dev And Sales Teams On The Same Page
Forbes
September 01, 2020
In a tech company, the people selling your product usually aren’t the same ones who developed it. Your sales numbers and customer retention can significantly decline if the members of your sales team don’t fully understand your product’s capabilities and functionality. They may under-promote it, leaving out key details that could close the deal, or make unrealistic promises about the product, leaving new customers disappointed and more likely to move on.
As a tech leader, you need to do your part to keep your company’s IT and sales teams on the same page. Here’s how the members of Forbes Technology Council recommend encouraging greater collaboration between these two departments.

WHY AI CONTINUES TO FAIL AT VALUE-LADEN DECISION MAKING
Boundless Podcast
July 15, 2020
“With AI on a global scale, certain developing nations could leverage the ‘leapfrog effect’. This can occur when a late technological entrant has the two distinct advantages of learning from first movers and of not living with legacy.” Samiran Ghosh
️ This is a conversation with Samiran Ghosh. Samiran has held leadership roles with IBM, Microsoft and McKinsey and he’s worked on the world's largest digital identity program. Samiran has authored chapters on blockchain and AI in books published by Wiley and is a TEDx speaker and Forbes Tech Council member.
In this episode, Samiran talks about:
1.) why embedding ethics and morality in machines is so difficult despite having a thousand years of common law
2.) whether it’s fair that we hold AI decision making to higher standards than human decision making
3.) how difficult it is to ever say whether technology is doing good or bad.
What if technology could finally simplify your daily life without jeopardizing your security? What if you were told that you already have this technology? Uniris promise is to provide access to all technologies with a simple touch of your finger while protecting your identity. The Uniris team has developed an ultra-secure and tamper-proof technology that is as secure as a chip of a Bank card. It allows you to replace any password, key or other authentication device by simply reading inside your fingers.
To operate on a global human scale without control or intervention of any person, company or state, this "open source" technology is based on a new generation network called "Blockchain". To achieve the scale and adoption we improved the blockchain technology so that it can replace any application or service: open your car or home door, identify yourself or pay online without risk to your data or goods, always have your medical record accessible yet protected ... This technology just works from the very first use regardless of where you are.
To function and reward people who host a network server (miner), a Blockchain is built around a cryptocurrency (UCO in the case of Uniris). This currency is created at the start of the project to finance all developments thus making each investor, a real participant in the construction of this New World from the very first moment of inception.

Cryptocurrency economy introduced a disruptive way to invest & protect assets, irrespective of government or regulatory instability. Yet it remains a promise to be delivered. Uniris aims to deliver that promise of secure, scalable, decentralized World. After 4 years of research, Uniris introduces ARCH consensus that provides 10-9 risk of fraud even at 90% malicious network activity unlike dBFT, dPoS or DAG. Similarly, even after a decade of mathematically proven trust of blockchains, mass adoption remains a pipe dream. Uniris brings mass adoption by providing the missing link of Human/Computer interaction by using a tamper-proof biometric authentication inside a new blockchain ecosystem - truly decentralized and designed to survive for centuries.

In the following document and through four successive publications, we present the Uniris solution and how its blockchain provides a counterpoint to every single weakness of current blockchains – provides a decentralized and interoperable identity for every use-case – supports millions of transactions per second avoiding known security breaches – provides a governance integrating the community as a whole and, finally, offers the prospect of a tamper-proof, universal and risk-free human-machine interaction system.
How AI Is Learning to Identify Toxic Online Content
Date : February 10, 2021
The prevalence of hateful or offensive language online has been growing rapidly in recent years, and the problem is now rampant. In some cases, toxic comments online have even resulted in real life violence, from religious nationalism in Myanmar to neo-Nazi propaganda in the U.S. Social media platforms, relying on thousands of human reviewers, are struggling to moderate the ever-increasing volume of harmful content.
In 2019, it was reported that Facebook moderators are at risk of suffering from PTSD as a result of repeated exposure to such distressing content. Outsourcing this work to machine learning can help manage the rising volumes of harmful content, while limiting human exposure to it. Indeed, many tech giants have been incorporating algorithms into their content moderation for years.
2023 will be the year of sustainable energy efficient blockchains that will allow creation of scalable enterprise grade apps.
This will pave the way for greater adoption in secure metaverse solutions where crypto and NFTs will promote digital identity, trust and an acceptable medium of value exchange.
Cryptos will break out of their speculative legacy and address their true underlying purpose - that of providing a viable financial alternative to the un-included.
They will find their way back into UHNI portfolios as well.
And NFTs will bring order to various unstructured and informal markets by allowing individual reputation to be verifiable, immutable and monetizable.
Regulated marketplaces for NFTs will emerge.
Outside of the number of unicorns and unlimited funds flowing to anything remotely sounding like a FinTech, I see the growth of this class of startups as a unique opportunity to further the cause of financial inclusion profitably. Financial tech and innovation will make this a more inclusive and empowered world by enabling the flow of money to and from the remotest corners of the planet. And I see that happening more vigorously in 2022 and beyond as the world tentatively steps out of the shadow of the pandemic.
AI adoption will be the prime focus for top vendors. To that end, I see a move to DIY AI tools and many more SaaS offerings in the marketplace. Even Big-Tech will try and make their complex AI suites more self-service friendly to enable faster and easier implementations with clients. Overall, much more depth and breadth in the AI ecosystem in the coming year.
