Ep9: How data evolved as fuel for AI? w/ Nitin Seth

Author: The Hindu August 10, 2024 Duration: 45:50
In today's data-driven world, we're witnessing a peculiar paradox -- on one side, tech giants and established corporations are drowning in vast oceans of data, struggling to extract meaningful insights from information overload. These data-rich entities often find themselves paralyzed by the sheer volume and complexity of their datasets, unable to harness their full potential. On the flip side, emerging startups and traditional industries are desperately seeking more data to fuel their AI initiatives and decision-making processes. In this episode, we discuss: 1. How we moved from a data scarce to a data abundant world? 2. How this massive, growing ocean of data is fuelling data-hungry language models   3. Why are businesses finding it difficult to harness the power of Big Data? 4. Are businesses re-thinking investments in AI? Guest: Nitin Seth, author of Mastering The Data Paradox and CEO of Incedo Inc. Host: John Xavier, Technology Editor, The Hindu. Produced by Jude Francis Weston

John Xavier, the tech editor at The Hindu, hosts The Interface, a podcast that sits at the crossroads where emerging technologies meet daily life and global business. Rather than just reporting on the latest gadgets or software updates, the conversations here dig into the tangible effects of AI, automation, and robotics-how these forces are actively reshaping entire industries and, by extension, the choices we all face. Each episode is built on the premise that understanding the trajectory of tech is less about predicting the future and more about developing a flexible, informed mindset for the changes already underway. You’ll hear thoughtful analysis on the implications behind the headlines, exploring not just what is happening, but why it matters for policy, work, and society. This isn't a series of breathless hype cycles; it's a grounded guide from a seasoned editor, offering clarity on a dynamic landscape that often feels overwhelming. Tune in for a consistently insightful perspective that helps make sense of the rapid evolution happening just beyond the screen.
