From App Clutter To The Kumbh Mela, AI Is Making Life Easier For You

It is clear that in the app economy, most of us aren’t loyal to one app. If you have Swiggy, chances are you have Zomato too. And you will also have a host of other apps. AI cuts through this clutter.

Artificial intelligence is making inroads into every facet of life imaginable and making things easier to do, get more more done and that too faster and in a much better way. This has been recently seen in multiple areas of human activity including the Kumbh Mela, Australian Open and much more.

Tired of app clutter on your smartphone? If you take the time to browse the apps on your device, you may be surprised to find out how many there are. It is clear that in the app economy, most of us aren’t loyal to one app either. If you have Swiggy, chances are you have Zomato too. And we also have a host of other apps we download but rarely use—for instance, apps from white goods makers that we use only when a service request is to be raised, which isn’t exactly a regular affair.

The AI juggernaut will soon help you with this problem. You will increasingly turn to AI assistants rather than go to apps. For instance, my son wanted pancakes this morning and rather than go through the hassle of browsing outlets on Swiggy or Zomato I asked Gemini to give me a list of the highest rated outlets for pancakes where I live. Gemini even gives me separate lists for Swiggy and Zomato (because not all outlets are on both platforms). Do read this piece for details:

Apps Set To Give Way To Assistants: How ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Meta AI May Reshape Our Digital Lives

Another important read from our coverage this week is on how synthetic data will increasingly be used to train AI models. It boggles the mind, but human-generated data is running out—we cannot create new data (text, pictures and images) fast enough to keep with the enormous demands of AI models. But this has huge reliability implications and guardrails are necessary to ensure this doesn't happen.

Tech Companies Are Turning To ‘Synthetic Data’ To Train AI Models – But There’s A Hidden Cost

If it’s tech you are talking about, security issues are never far behind, because for every new development there are some who will use them for nefarious purposes. AI brings with it a host of security issues, and the risks are exponentially greater for organisations as compared to individuals. While Cisco has an announcement today on how organisations can ensure safe AI deployments, many players are eyeing this pie.

Another interesting story on AI transformation comes from the learning and development domain, as organisations increasingly take to AI to improve L&D capabilities and outcomes.
