With the much talked about G-20 summit set to commence in New Delhi on the 9th of September with the leaders of some 60 countries arriving in the Indian capital, it is a good time to ponder over the question-“Will India be the definitive G-20 breakout nation in the years ahead?”
Everybody and their uncle has heard about Generative AI. Those who sleep under a rock haven’t. Of course, most people know it as ChatGPT and they haven't stopped yapping about it since its launch. Most of the chatter is about how Generative AI will take away people's jobs rather than how it will help business enterprises perform better. People employed in professions as diverse as writing, coding, law, and medical science have expressed fear that a bunch of technocrats and big corporations will replace workers with Generative AI and concentrate all the wealth in their hands at the expense of society as a whole. The Hollywood writers' strike is a classic example of this type of fear taking root and almost paralyzing people.
To all the writers bemoaning their fate, fearing the imminent takeover of their jobs by AI, my sincere advice is to "Stop the whining and start writing!" AI as it exists today is too dumb to even attempt to replace writers. I am also willing to go out on a limb to say that it never can-no matter how much it evolves. A technology that requires us to prompt it, and turns to content already created by us to regurgitate what we created cannot even begin to replace us. It makes no sense.

Many Indians speak and write English as well as the natives, but almost all of us, incorporate what are known as Indianisms into the way we use the language. Indianism are words, terms and expressions in the English language that are used and understood only by Indians.
Most of us are not aware that these are Indianism and use them unconsciously without realizing that by doing so we are speaking or writing incorrect English that may be totally unintelligible to native speakers of the language. Here is what we have to watch out for.
India needs to get on top of the energy situation if we are to seriously think of becoming the third-largest economy in the world.
Green cloud computing is the way to go forward in the environmental cleanup process by causing a substantial decrease in the energy consumption patterns across an ever-growing number of data centres.
The invasion of Ukraine by Russian forces threatens to bring its booming technology services industry to its knees.
Ever since Mark Zuckerberg expounded the virtues of the metaverse, there has been an explosion of interest in it. What is it? How good is it? Will we gain from it or do we need to fear it. I have tried to answer all those questions in this podcast.
