Overview
With ChatGPT and Auto GPT, even a layman is talking about the potential of AI. The talks about the power of AI have been going for years, but this sudden rise in its dialogue and use, has led to a debate over security, and responsibility. Though AI has tremendous potential, the benefits lie only if it is not exploited for the wrong reasons. People will also need to be educated to be able to adapt it to enhance their performances instead of fretting that it would take away their job. Tune in now, to know more about the potential benefits and threats that come with AI.
[00:37] – About Sateesh Seetharamiah

- He is a pioneer on the Internet of Things (IoT). He is also one of the founding members of the MIT AutoID Lab.
[11:46] – Please talk about the importance and the impact of Automation and data analytics. Where are we today in all of this, and can you give some examples?
- We still have some ways to go. I took another pivot from the old IoT thinking and started looking at enterprises on what kind of problems they have.
- IoT was about connecting everything to everything in a much larger ecosystem. When we founded Edge, we saw that there was a tremendous opportunity to solve certain issues that companies face.
- ERP, while having its own wave of value creation, came with its own set of baggage. While it solved standard operating procedures and brought best practices from industries, it also created a huge amount of silos.
- The ERP systems are going to be there for quite some time to come but the world still needs a different way in which they can interact with enterprises.
- They require a very different layer of technology to integrate with their value trained partners etc.
[18:58] – What are your thoughts on foundation models and what impact is AI going to have on automation and digital transformation?
- As a company, we’ve always believed in the potential of AI as a catalyst to bring good to society.
- EdgeVerve is one of the first companies to invest in open AI in 2015.
- It was a non-profit trust, and we invested a certain amount of money to drive this innovation, to help engage in this innovation and then Amazon probably came a little later into that mix.
- In 2019, we put out a paper that I authored; it’s called “Automation Singularity.”
- In that paper, I spoke about automation and how it can drive all the way from basic automation to automating augmented human thinking.
- I was pretty convinced that this was going to happen. I wasn’t really sure when.
- Despite all its benefits, I was also concerned about how it could be exploited for all the wrong reasons.
