"We have seen this argument before, that software or AI will replace everything from brokers to doctors and lawyers. The whole thing with AI is nobody knows how it will run. They are trying to create this kind of hype. AI is definitely a disruption. It will improve productivity. When you look at AI, there is accumulated software, and installed software is between $20 trillion and $25 trillion. The world has been spending one and a half trillion dollars, maybe two trillion dollars every year for the last 15 years. Second, large enterprises spend multi-billion-dollar budgets every year because they have complex legacy systems. Many global banks spend over $15 billion a year on such legacy systems. Such large complex systems will have multiple databases, 12 to 13 databases for many of them. AI can assist with tasks or do discovery within one database, but it cannot work across multiple databases in large enterprises. In core systems, when you write new code, AI can help in effort reduction by 30-40 percent. On the legacy code, AI cannot be of much help"


When I was covering WEF for the first time, a C-suite executive of a very large company asked me what I'm doing about food. I said I'd grab a bite at Migrows or Coop between interviews. He said, "Chandra the first thing you need to learn is to never spend money on food during WEF at Davos. There is enough on the promenade, pavilions and at the Congress centre." Valuable advice. We captured it in our dairy entry piece yesterday. moneycontrol.com/news/business/…





If I hit this dictation button after sending a text and it beeps and stops my music one more time, I’m gonna find everyone at apple and put them in a rear naked choke hold Even if I turn off dictation I somehow hit the voice note thing The send button should not have multiple functions in the same spot
