Temptations - Artificial Intelligence Technology And The Price Of Admission

If your work puts you in regular contact with technology vendors, you'll have heard terms such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), natural language processing and computer vision before.

You'll have heard that AI/ML is the future, that the boundaries of these technologies are constantly being pushed and broadened, and that AI/ML will play an integral role in shaping this tech-forward era's most successful business models.

As a technology leader, I've heard all these claims and more. To say that AI/ML will play an increasingly impactful role in business is no overstatement. According to a recent Forbes article, the machine learning market is poised to more than quadruple in the coming years.

Many industry watchers agree that AI/ML solutions, when used to good effect, can equip your organization with a significant competitive advantage. And that makes it tempting to dive right in and start implementing these technologies without first gaining a comprehensive understanding of how they work. Accessibility to myriad options is not a barrier; almost every technology vendor now offers AI/ML services.

If anything, we are often inundated with choices in this domain. But how do we know we're making the right choices and using these services to good effect? This is where a genuine, comprehensive understanding of technology becomes critically important. For many of us, the world of AI/ML is a relatively uncharted terrain.

The answers to these fundamental questions are the keys to unlocking the true potential of AI/ML as business solutions. Current machine learning is a statistical process that employs a model/algorithm to explain a set of data and predict future outcomes. Many of these are "big data" algorithms that analyze huge quantities of data to generate predictions that are as accurate as possible.

Once we understand this, we start to see what is required to effectively use ML as a business solution. We need a lot of it, and we need it to be high quality.

Poor data quality is the biggest impediment to successfully adopting and deploying AI/ML solutions, and insufficient quantities of data can be a major hindrance as well.

Take IBM's Watson for oncology as a cautionary tale. After being trained on a small number of synthetic cancer cases, the Watson supercomputer was discovered to generate "erroneous cancer treatment advice" which ranged from incorrect to outright unsafe.

The data management process, which covers everything from data creation or acquisition to transmission and storage, is therefore intrinsically linked to AI initiatives.

When considering the cost of implementing any AI/ML solution, it's vital to also consider the cost of obtaining a robust amount of high-quality data with which to feed that solution.

Considering AI/ML Solutions In The Context Of Your Needs

Now, with a better idea of what goes into deploying AI/ML solutions, we have to consider each of our options in the context of our vision.

What do we hope to achieve by implementing AI/ML strategies?

Any AI/ML technology we implement will function within a web of our existing applications, interfaces and platforms.

So, when crafting our vision, we need to take our organization's existing technology ecosystem into consideration.

Precise goals will help us ground our vision in reality, while a more ambiguous approach may lead to equally muddled (and unsatisfactory) results.

An effective machine learning model or algorithm must, of course, continuously learn.

We won't see much success with a "set it and forget it" mentality when it comes to machine learning algorithms.

If our algorithms don't rapidly adapt to changing requirements, they quickly become irrelevant and unproductive.

It's just as imperative for an algorithm to be unbiased. Cathy O'Neil, the author of Weapons of Math Destruction, spoke to NPR about the dangers of placing blind faith in the objectiveness of ML algorithms when "we really have no idea what's happening to most algorithms under the hood."

Many of the models used today across the public and private sectors certainly suffer from the prejudices and misconceptions of their designers. In 2011, a Massachusetts man was informed his driver's license had been revoked because a facial-recognition algorithm mistook him for another Massachusetts driver who was involved in criminal activity. In a similar vein, Google's hate speech detector was reported to be racially biased.

To make the most of our AI/ML solutions, we have to invest the time and attention to governing them fairly and rigorously.

You might be excited, and reasonably so, about the seemingly boundless potential of AI/ML technology. Or maybe you subscribe to Stephen Hawking's view that the development of AI could be "the worst event in the history of our civilization." In either case, there’s no question that AI/ML technology is here to stay.

Politics and history of Nepal’s Kalapani claim

The Nepali media also backed the country's historic claim to the region, but the coverage of governments in Kathmandu without much emphasis on Nepal's rightful claim to the region has been measured with much blame.

Former Director General of Nepal Topographic Survey, Punya Prasad Oli said there was a "gentleman's agreement" between Nepal and Indian authorities to publish maps after the joint issue of border / delimitation operations and strip maps of their joint border. . After India released its map in November, Nepal was no help, but released its edition.

It was only in 1981 that the two countries formed the Nepal-India Technical Level Joint Boundary Group, which decided to locate the borders, maintain the dilapidated and missing boundary columns and freeze the areas where they were built.

As clearly stated, Nepal's position in relation to Kalapani, Lipu Lekh and Limpiyadhura is based on a map of British East India, published after the Treaty of Sougouli of 1816 - especially the British map of 1857.

Deepak Gurung needs to be educated in Nepal

On the other hand, India's position is based on a map of the British Survey of India 1857–1881 and beyond. It should be remembered that Nepal's Topographic Survey published the first map of Nepal in 1976, but the artist, Lipu Lekh and Limpiyadhura were not shown. On the other hand, Nepal maps published in textbooks during the Panchayat period contain these areas. The new political map has an appendix-like piece from the northwest corner of Nepal.

There is no other treaty that Nepal has entered into with British India, claiming that Nepal has changed its western boundary due to natural causes. Although the flow of rivers has changed in some sections of Terai following the Treaty, the status of the river is taken as a boundary at the time of the Treaty, according to international boundary principles.

An Indian argument is that British cartographers continued to move the Kashi River to the east for strategic reasons, so Nepal should accept it without question.

There are no records in Nepal to suggest that these boundaries were jointly made between the British East India Company and Nepal. There is no water on the international border crossing due to a change in the route of the mountain river. Although these changes along the river route are described in maps published by the Survey of India under British rule, they cannot be used as a reference for determining international boundaries.

Two Nepal-India allies face Alisha Sizapati

Perhaps Indian Army Chief General M.N. Narvana made a very serious statement last week, which suggested that Nepal was influenced by the 'Third Party' in bringing about the issue of artisans. It is not only in Nepal but also in India where the former Indian Ambassador to Nepal is. A-Salah said, creating a ruckus.

According to Biswabandhu Thapa, who was the Home Minister in the reign of King Mahendra in Nepal in 1962, Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru wrote a personal letter to King Mahendra. Ask for the Indian War.

Two American astronauts enter the International Space Station (ISS)

American astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Benken have entered the International Space Station (ISS). 

Their Dragon Capsule, operated and provided by a private SpaceX company, was attached to the space station at a distance of 422 kilometers from China. After waiting a while to check for leaks, pressure and temperature, they landed at the station to join the Russian and American teams already on the ISS.

Hurley and Benken were launched from Florida on Saturday. This is the first time astronauts have been sent from American soil since NASA's shuttle system shut down nine years ago.

NASA has been using Russian rockets for manned space travel since the shuttles ceased operations in 2011. Through this mission, NASA has signaled the beginning of a new era of commercial leasing, not its own spacecraft. NASA will no longer buy or operate US spacecraft to and from the space center.

Only California-based companies like SpaceX of Heathron, led by billionaire Elon Musk, do such work. The connection to the Dragon ISS was confirmed on Sunday at 14:16 GMT. The SpaceX Falcon reached the space center 19 hours after it was launched from the Kennedy Space Center.

The process of connecting two vehicles is fully automated; Hurley and Bencon didn't have to be involved - but they did practice. The door between Dragon and ISS opened at 17:02 GMT. Hurley and Benken floated to meet ISS commanders and NASA astronauts, as well as Russian astronauts.

"We're happy to be here and now the commander here will put us to work. And, hopefully we'll get used to it and not spoil a lot," said Doug Hurley.

Another astronaut, Bob Banksy, said they had rested well and were ready for more work. "We slept well for seven hours or so," he said in a radio contact with Texas-based Mission Control.

"The first night is always a little challenging, but the dragon was Kaida's vehicle, and the air flow was good and the night was great. We're eager to be in Earth orbit again."

Earlier, the space trip was scheduled for Wednesday but was postponed due to bad weather. NASA Administrator Jim Bridenstein congratulated them both on their good work: "The whole world has seen this mission and we are very proud of what you have done for our country and especially for inspiring the whole world."

The SpaceX company last year launched an unmanned spacecraft in an automated process, but this is the first manned spaceflight.

During the mission, Hurley and Benken's job is to inspect the entire system and inform the engineers about it. It is unknown at this time what he will do after leaving the post.

During that time, he became a member of the current ISS Expedition 63 team and participated in daily activities there. Hurley and Benken were selected in 2000 and have been to space twice before.

ISS commander Chris Cassidy joked that they had missed the opportunity to clean up on Saturday as they arrived on Sunday.

The spacecraft Dragon Capsule carrying two American astronauts has entered the space station.

The spacecraft, including US astronauts Doug Hurley and Bob Banks, has entered the International Space Station (ISS), according to US media reports.

The US space agency NASA has launched the spacecraft in collaboration with the private company SpaceX.

Dragon Capsule is provided by SpaceX and is being operated by him. The spacecraft entered the space station 422 kilometers above China.

After waiting a while to check for leaks, pressure and temperature, passengers in the Dragon capsule entered the station to join the Russian and US teams already on the ISS.

The Dragon Capsule spacecraft, including Hurley and Benken, was launched from Florida, USA last Saturday night.

NASA shut down its space shuttle system nine years ago. This is the first time an astronaut has been sent from American soil since then.

Through this mission, NASA has ushered in a new era of renting spacecraft from the commercial sector, not its own spacecraft.

Mysterious hole in the picture of Mars

The US space agency NASA took a picture of Mars in 2011. The photo was exhibited by NASA on March 1. A mysterious hole is seen in the image captured on Mars.

According to various media reports, scientists have suggested that Mars may be suitable for habitation. There are also many caves near the 35 meter diameter hole. Scientists are now conducting research on this image.

NASA has sent a robot called 'Arbiter' for the study. The robot is sending a picture of Mars. This picture was also taken and sent by 'Arbiter'. The cave is about 20 meters deep after NASA discussed the hole in the picture.

According to NASA's blog, many safe caves have been discovered around the hole seen on Mars. It is estimated to be 35 meters long and 20 meters deep.

Want to go to Mars? Mars became a small planet on Earth

Mars is considered a symbol of heroism in Eastern astrology. If Mars is weak in the horoscope, no astrologer can make you spend 4-5 cycles of your office and 20-25 thousand rupees. According to the established beliefs and principles of astrology, not only Mars but also Mercury, Jupiter, Sun etc. It should be understood that Ketu has a high position in the union with the Moon and Venus and has a crooked vision.

Mars is the fourth planet from the Sun beyond the Earth. Its average distance from the sun is 22,79,9,100 km, and there is a big difference between the earth and its distance. The average distance between the two is 22,50,000,000 km. But when the distance between the two increases, there is a gap of up to 40,10,000,000 km. As the Sun orbits the Earth, Mars travels up to 5,600,000 km.

But this is not always the case. In August 2003, Mars passed so close. Normally, Mars orbits the sun every two years and moves 7,77,92,000 km away from the earth. That's why all the space agencies in the world send their spacecraft to Mars in a gap of 2 years.

Although Earth scientists have succeeded in sending a spacecraft into interstellar space (beyond 150 AU from the Sun), including all the planets in the solar system, they have not been able to send people to any celestial body other than the Moon.

Mars, which has a solid surface like Earth, continues to attract the minds of scientists. There is no solid surface on any planet beyond Mars. All the planets after Jupiter are gaseous planets.

Scientists have a great desire to land humans on Mars.

For this, space corporations of many countries as well as private companies are competing. Everyone is claiming to set foot on Mars by 2032. But with the technology and science that has been available so far, the pace at which space has been achieved does not seem to be changing.

However, this is possible if you want to travel around the Earth in a Mars-like environment.

The famous holiday website Trip Advisor and Astroland Company have created a small planet with a Mars-like atmosphere on Earth. This artificial Mars is made in Spain.

This artificial planet, which has the same atmosphere as Mars, was built in a cave in northern Spain. The company plans to accommodate tourists for three days and three nights.

The dream of Mars has come true in a cave at a height of 196 feet in northern Spain. The length of this cave is 1.4 km. An atmosphere of Mars has been created inside the cave.

You must first participate in a 30-day 'tour program' to visit this Martian planet. The company gives you 21 days of online training after booking a trip to Mars. Mars' gravity, atmosphere, ecology, etc. are all very different from Earth's. After the online training, the company will put you in another 3-day training workshop to give you physical and mental strength and less gravity as well as physical training to do other activities.

After gaining proficiency in training, the company will take you on a journey to artificial Mars for 3 days and 3 nights.

Arrangements have been made for the tourists going to the cave-like Mars to go on this journey only with special equipment and special clothes.

According to the company, the three-day trip to this artificial Mars will cost around Rs 800,000.

"Our first trial is over, and the results are very encouraging," said David Ceballos, the company's CEO.

The company has opened bookings for tourists. It will definitely be exciting to experience Mars for Rs 800,000.
