AI & Cost Negative Arbitrage: Caught Between Competitive Pressure and Market Reality

  The AI Moment—and the Pricing Blindspot It is the world of artificial intelligence now, that much is pretty much accepted. But what people have not yet been able to understand fully is the impact it would have on something that is completely beyond, you know, expectations of most people. And that is pricing. Pricing is in a state of flux in any number of industries - that is beginning to be known; what is lesser known is that this is creating a unique matrix between competitive pressure and market dynamics which is going to make things challenging for business managers worldwide. How AI Is Driving Costs Down What is happening is, while it is known that artificial intelligence and proper planned implementation can shorten development cycles, it can shorten execution cycles, it can shorten product to market costs & times - it can lessen product costs across industries. It helps us save money during the advertising execution process, in an ad agency. It helps us ship new feat...

AI Will Transform Everything. That’s Exactly Why We Need to Talk About Risk

  𝗔𝗜: 𝗪𝗲, 𝗔 𝗣𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗣𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗵 𝗗𝗿𝘂𝗻𝗸 𝗢𝗻 𝗜𝘁𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗹 :--> 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗔𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗹𝘆 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 from the other tech innovations we have seen is not just the capability it contains; it is the scale of what is coming that is the defining aspect.      While we go gung-ho ahead on the AI bandwagon, what truly has me worried is that we are not factoring in the risks either at individual levels or at scale. Happily, early trends of an awakening is present in customers judging from my interactions with them - but this is yet to feature in organisations' focus. My deepest sincere desire in this domain is that we, all of us, place risk at the forefront while designing and implementing AI solutions...   AI is going to become increasingly embedded across regulatory, financial, personal and business domains. Once these systems become deeply interconnected, the internet at its most vibrant and interconnected may seem almost ...

Navigating the Real World Through The Gita: Karm, Inaction, the Inevitable Blowback, and Yogakshem

 Navigating the Real World Through The Gita:  Karm, Inaction, the Inevitable Blowback, and Yogakshem We speak of The Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta often; we even state that it is applicable to modern life. Yet, few of us daily people try to articulate what it means in a real world context. In this small thought experiment, I am attempting this daunting task – please forgive me for any errors – they arise from my own lack of understanding. I am not a Guru – just a learner studying the book daily for at least 10 years.   When analyzing the Bhagavad Gita, it is easy to get lost in theoretical theology. But the Gita is, when applied, a manual for navigating the real world. In a recent discussion, I found myself categorizing the concepts of Karm and Akarm into four distinct parts: .        Understanding karm or akarm , Thinking about others' karm, Focusing on your own karm, and Finally, forgetting (rather than just forgiving) others' karm. (Before I proceed – t...

Does Merit Matter To Us?

  Does Merit Matter To Us? How many qualify amorally, creating a victim who lost to your dishonesty for each such case? For every person who qualifies through dishonest means, someone else pays the price — a victim of a system that let them get away with it. At the start of this article, let me be clear: I am 53+, and not dissatisfied with how my life turned out. I am perfectly happy - if I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't change a single professional decision I made. But the recent events surrounding the NEET exam protests have forced me to look back at the past years, towards rumours, reports and claims   of paper leaks, job scams,   and gaming attempts. From Vyapam in MP to the repeated compromises of a multitude of entrance exams, we may be looking at a system in crisis. It is disgusting and frustrating even to me, a person who is not affected; not anymore. And yet I feel the shock of what happened – how must it be for those who are actually impacted, whet...
