#CodeX: Think Different. /  by Ajit Minhas

“Here’s to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the troublemakers, the round pegs in the square holes ... the ones who see things differently — they’re not fond of rules, and they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them, but the only thing you can’t do is ignore them because they change things. They push the human race forward, and while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius, because the people who are crazy enough to think that they can change the world, are the ones who do.”

It’s been over a quarter of a century since Apple’s iconic ‘Think different’ ad campaign, which captured in two simple words Apple’s vision for the company in 1997. The tagline, which continues to resonate to this day, helped launch one of the biggest corporate turnarounds in history.

In 1997, Steve Jobs returned to Apple as CEO after the company's acquisition of NeXT. The burning question in front of him was:

“Can we turn around Apple? Can we make Apple really great again?”

#CodeX: AI & Tech → Unleashing the Potential ... Responsibly! /  by Ajit Minhas

The race for AI supremacy is in full swing. As Artificial Intelligence continues to advance, a question arises: Can it avoid the pitfalls of the 2000 Dotcom Burst and The Tech Bubble?

Amidst the hype surrounding AI, the advancements in Machine Learning offer compelling reasons to tap into its great potential and explore underlying market opportunities.

AI has the potential to reshape our world, but it must be approached with responsibility and careful consideration. The responsible use of Artificial Intelligence can lead to improvements in various aspects of human life, but it requires careful attention to avoid pitfalls and unintended consequences. By acknowledging the limitations of algorithms, understanding the complexity of AI systems, and guiding their development ethically, we can navigate the AI landscape successfully.

[Expanding on the Concepts] :

#CodeX: The Power of Creative Destruction /  by Ajit Minhas

‘Uncertainty’ is inherent in the nature of Innovation.

But it's important to understand that innovation doesn't necessarily mean inventing something entirely new. Instead, it's about Creative Destruction, that truly unleashes the power of an organization by focusing on continuous improvement in all aspects of the business.

Innovation is a never-ending cycle, and product market-fit is constantly evolving. To stay ahead, organizations need to keep rethinking, refining and redefining their solutions.

CREATIVE DESTRUCTION is front and center to the true innovators culture. It’s the mechanism by which innovations continually displace existing technologies and ways of doing things (... get the job done). New organizations, new products and new jobs continuously replace obsoleted ones ... the new destroys the old.

AI Development is the emerging phenomenon of the current Innovation Cycle.

ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE is on the cusp of creating autonomous, self-sustaining digital enterprises that can interact with humans seamlessly. The use cases for AI are vast, from business and consumer applications to customer relationship management, digital health, financial info systems and automated software engineering.

AI presents a momentous opportunity for humanity … IF employed intelligently.

“This is a moment of choice and opportunity. It could be the best 10 years ahead of us that we have ever had in human history or one of the worst, because we have more power than we have ever had before.” — Erik Brynjolfsson, MIT

As AI technology continues to develop, evolve and penetrate into many aspects of our lives, the opportunities are endless. But at the same time, these developments raise important policy, regulatory, and ethical issues, that need to be better understood and addressed due to the major implications it will have on the humanity as a whole.

In 2011, Marc Andreessen coined the phrase “Software is eating the World”. But now:

AI is eating the Software ( … as AI is increasingly powering the Software we use)

In conclusion, Creative Destruction is essential for businesses to stay ahead of the competition and is critical to the capitalist economy. While there are risks associated with innovation, businesses must engage in a continuous cycle of discovery, validation, development, registration, and commercialization to create and deliver value.
