As an information product, a GEIS (Group Executive Information System) is quite spectacular as it combines a panoramic view with depth of details to furnish any Group CEO a deep bird’s eye view of the entire group’s business. Deciding the level of granularity is a tough decision to make, since decisions taken by such Group CEOs have enormous consequences. An appropriately designed ensemble GEIS might aid them acquire a firm grasp of their businesses, as they expand both horizontally and vertically

This is the second instalment of the reflections on the impossibility of a generalized AI. While the first examined the issue through the prism of language, the second addresses it via our understanding of the functioning of the human brain. Sifting through different and often contrasting research in neuroscience and quantum physics on understanding how the brain functions and whether there is a mind or consciousness, this article raises the question of the possibility of a generalized AI amidst all the open questions facing us.
(I must make it clear that the research I have referred to in neuroscience and quantum physics is vastly more than I have indicated in this short article.)

The creation of a generalized AI has been a dream for many decades and we are nowhere near it. Given the nature of language, is this even possible? This is a tentative attempt to pose the question especially in the face of commendable work in NLP

One of the signs of economic progress is an increase in productivity. And since much of the world runs on some software or the other, it is obvious that there is keen interest in the link between IT and productivity via performance. The news on productivity is not encouraging but not hopeless that a solution cannot be found but we need to think afresh. We don’t need AI or algorithms but simple thinking
