Shadow Warrior

What motivated Trudeau to get into this godawful escalation on flimsy evidence? Has India done the right thing? What does this mean for Hindus around the world?

Is it possible that it wasn't equipment failure but deliberate hacking or jamming that caused the Chandrayaan-2 lander to malfunction? Is it the autonomy of Chandrayaan-3's lander that did the trick, as it managed its final descent itself, without waiting for orders from ground control?

India is facing headwinds in BRICS+, which is turning out to be a group of friends of China. Besides, China is saber-rattling as well, and doing map warfare. Again. It appears as though China is gearing up for a nice little war against India, rather than over Taiwan. India has to prepare to fight this on its own, especially as the ghosts of 1962 hang over it.

My guest, Dr. Abhishek Puri, is a Radiation Oncologist with an interest in AI and healthcare policy. He blogs at www.radoncnotes.com and tweets as “radoncnotes”. We wrote a column in Open magazine, at https://openthemagazine.com/columns/artificial-intelligence-like-allopathy/ which looks at what can be gleaned from our experiences with Allopathy and how these can be translated to how we deal with generative AI. In this video, we summarize our findings. Of particular note is the fact that chatGPT, in summarizing our article, completely ignores Ayurveda, despite the fact that we do mention it several times. As Abhishek points out, this suggests the eclipse of Indian knowledge altogether, as western biases creep into epistemology: Indian knowledge simply doesn’t exist as far as the western Internet is concerned. We have seen this before in how Indian mathematical advances and scientific advances have been either erased, or generously ‘awarded’ to the Greeks or Chinese or someone else. Although our purpose in writing this essay was to consider how statistics-based (ie. stochastic) systems work when we expect them, unconsciously, to be predictable in all cases (ie. deterministic), this issue of the erasure of Indian knowledge is a particularly important concern. Others have also expressed the concern that with generative AI’s mimetic skills, copyright may become a thing of the past. Intellectual Property Rights need to be protected, and in particular, data. India needs to develop its own generative AI systems: not the large language models (these are available in open source), but the data to train them with an Indian context and in multiple Indian languages. This is a major challenge.
