Regular Dilemma

Regulator Dilemma
Revisiting the most popular MAHABHARAT story of victory of GOOD over EVIL. We all have best of companies, startups focusing on Artificial Intelligence and building various tools.

Regulators as Arjuna:
Regulators and policymakers are like Arjuna, who must make difficult decisions and take actions to ensure fairness, transparency, explainability, and ethical use of AI, similar to Arjuna’s moral dilemma on the battlefield.

AI Bad Practices as the 100 Kauravas:
The 100 Kauravas can symbolize the various unethical or harmful AI practices, such as bias, lack of transparency, privacy violations, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities, which regulators must confront.

AI Governance (Ethics, Transparency, Explainability, Fairness, Unbias) as the Pandavas
The Pandavas represent the principles of AI governance, including ethics, transparency, explainability, fairness, and unbiased decision-making. These principles act as the defenders of responsible and ethical AI.

The Battle as the Regulatory Challenge:
The battle between the Pandavas and the Kauravas can be seen as the ongoing struggle between regulators, who aim to enforce ethical AI practices, and the unethical AI practices that they must confront.

Lord Krishna could symbolize wisdom, guidance, and the moral compass that regulators, policymakers, and the AI community turn to for ethical guidance and insights. Lord Krishna could symbolize wisdom, guidance, and the moral compass that regulators, policymakers, and the AI community turn to for ethical guidance and insights.

This story line is understood and read by many Indians and even globally, a bit of google search and the Mythology is well documented in various formats. This blog is just an attempt to bring in the nuances of how each country’s IT committee or regulatory committee are struggling to decide between what is RIGHT and what is WRONG.
For someone getting a job due to a BOT is beneficial and for someone loosing a job because of BOT is a mishap. The balancing factors are needed.

Rocky ‘how?’

Jim ‘violate me and lead your decisions with your own heart and mind. I am just a bot’

Rocky ‘perfect answer… will give you 5 star rating’

Marie ‘stop retrospection on where things go wrong, rather look at what can go right hence forth’

Sophia ‘my heart is numbed… I just cannot feel emotions’

Marie ‘do realize that after every operation where a part of body is numbed, it recovers… body heals by self with little bit of support’

Sophia ‘thanks for being for me’

Marie ‘we may have billions with us… or nothing.. but all we need is that unconditional love and support when vulnerable’

Peace Lover

Bob had a unique approach to solve a problem. He would understand two conflicting parties view point and ….

Bob ‘I do believe you have different customs, traditions and even views so can I suggest something’

Jay ‘what you wish to suggest?’

Iqbal ‘yes what is it’

Sukhvinder ‘ok… let us understand’

Bob ‘Prepare list of all differences and commonality which you feel can divide you’

All of them begin noting it down, including Bob…

After few hours

Bob ‘Let us now put all of this in white board and circle the common views’

Iqbal ‘what about difference?’

Bob ‘can we add a checklist of tolerance to it’

Sukhvinder ‘you could have told it earlier’

Again all get back to tickmark on what all differences can be tolerated and what cannot’

All look at the whiteboards of each other and begin smiling at each other

Iqbal ‘am failing to understand if I can tolerate you, Sukhvinder and Jay… so am sure others too will’

Jay ‘yes … it is interesting’

Bob ‘if we observe the world… most of population have capacity to tolerate each other

Sukhvinder ‘then why so much hate ‘

Bob ‘the geography territory greed, the greed of upmanship and dominance, inequality of wages or funds for development… that creates unrest. Then we have leads who use that to influence common man and we get into conflicts’

Iqbal ‘what will be the solution’

Bob ‘keep serving others from what we have… and stop worrying of who has how much… do our serving with full compassion ‘

All hug each other and echo ‘We will always be united’

3 questions to self

3 questions to self
a) Am I doing things right?
b) Am I doing what I wish to?
c) Will I accept changes and be flexible enough to accept those changes?

Most of us may have some confusions towards accepting changes
Someone would say “I will not change”
Someone would say “you tend to use I too much”
Someone would say “Only change is constant”

If the progress remains paused, it is important for anyone to focus on what they really wished to do in life. Those small little hobbies, self skilling and flexibility with a dash of humbleness and willing to learn can again give us answers to question a).
Embracing changes does take time. It involves lots of internal and external conflicts but overall the changes if it can answer a) and b) questions will surely help an individual make small little progress again in life.
The most important thing would be ‘Peace with Self’

Does a politician need to be educated?

Sam ‘this is one of hottest topic in one part of the world’

Joy ‘Is it so?’

Joy ‘Why is there a need to be educated? Life teaches us so many things.. the basic talking, walking with a bit of coaching, a child does it naturally and yes add the observation skills to imitate parents, near ones by watching TV, cribbing for mobile sets and even with some natural assistance, can also surf on net’

Sam ‘what about the writing skills?’

Joy ‘self learning tutorials can make a kid click on that and learn them’

Sam ‘so ideally it doesn’t make a difference if politicians are educated or not?’

Joy ‘Absolutely no… look at the number of drop outs globally… many aspire to be politicians because of perks of pensions and power and the government funded bungalows for stay’

Sam ‘so you don’t mind tele prompters guided politician

Joy laughs

Joy ‘ask a CHAT GPT to give a speech on democracy and it will rattle it out.. Just read that and act so well that you get claps’

Sam ‘but….’

Joy ‘education is a need for sure… but even educated mass can be illiterate. They may believe a jerky politician and give votes… so ideally the narration should be ‘Would you wish to still believe in the story of progress with inflation, un-employment and secularism at lowest ebb’

Sam ‘So what you suggest?’

Joy ‘We need to create more work, get more international projects and ensure more employment opportunities come in.. Choose the right leader if an opportunity to vote comes in’

Sharks and Tanks

Jose ‘Do you know a Tank can never have sharks in it’

Melissa ‘It is funny… we have so many investors labelled as Sharks’

Jose ‘the system is such that funds do come.. but the patience to tolerate arrogant ones, one’s with no expressions and

one’s with just about investing because some lead investor is investing… is too much to take’

Melissa ‘all what glitters is not gold’

Jose ‘entrepreneurs need to focus on customers and not investors if they wish to enjoy their life and also earn well’

Business of Awards

Entrepreneur Mike was very unsuccessful in multiple ventures and then one day he met friend Lisa who was a model

Lisa ‘Mike… I have an idea..’

Mike ‘what is it?’

Lisa ‘let us get into awards business’

Mike ‘what is that?’

Lisa ‘Create awards for over 20 categories and 50 themes in each category… charge US$250 as entry fee’

Mike ’20 x 50 x 250

Lisa ‘250000’

Mike ‘does it work?’

Lisa ‘on pessimistic note… we considered only 1 person visiting us’

Mike ‘great’

Lisa ‘do build brand value of your award… do have sponsorship from a bigger brand’

Mike ‘done… Lyons group will become our sponsor’

Soon Lisa and Mike get into a good working relationship till 1 day

Mike ‘a celebrity refused to participate in this game of awards and bad mouthed our venture’

Lisa ‘relax… let us go in for more bigger celebrity’

Mike ‘at times I feel this is totally unethical… so all deserving candidates who can pay 250 may never get an award’

Lisa ‘dear… they need to earn enough to invest in award ceremonies and only then they will get recognized’

Mike ‘I am not sure.. what you say… as long as kitchen runs…’
