‘Digital’ continues to be a buzz word for both IT and non IT companies for more than 5-6 decades. In fact when the first semi conductor chip was invented ( in 1958), we had also transitioned from analog to digital in every sphere of our life – in appliances, electronic instruments, computers, space vehicles, automobiles ( remember your first Casio digital watch?) etc.
We still talk about digital revolution in business and in our day to day life and haven’t yet found an alternate word. Frankly speaking, Digital experience has seemlessly merged with our life long ago and it is not a differentiator today. It is no longer fancy to brag that we do digital transformations.
It is good to note AI and ChatGPT are taking the world by storm but these are not new either. They are surely huge improvements of previous inventions that are already in use.
Today the challenge lies in how we integrate different technologies and platforms and what new use cases we could develop that will make our lives much easier. As we make our lives easier we get more time to invent newer technologies and that’s how the cycle of inventions and deployment goes on.
Human intelligence makes Artificial Intelligence more powerful. Our responsibility lies in limiting its use and not harm humans and the mother nature.
