Abstract

Man is an analog animal. The digital world craves to please him through 1s and 0s. First came the internet and then came the Internet of Things. Our gateway to the digital world is through smartphones. Most humans can’t live without a smartphone. The underlying of the digital world is data. The virtuous cycle of harnessing data leads to value creation. Artificial intelligence has evolved as a supplant to man in decision-making in various spheres, from predicting attrition to increasing the accuracy of pathological diagnosis. There’s a new avatar of AI in the form of ChatGPT.
