My today's poser to ChatGPT :

 My today's poser to ChatGPT :

======================================
Yesterday, the Supreme Court of India issued a directive to all the State Governments to take SUO MOTO cognizance of " hate speeches " being delivered by politicians during the current ongoing election campaign in Karnataka . Without waiting for some one to file a complaint in this regard, Supreme Court directed the Police Department ( of the State where such speech was delivered ) to take " appropriate " action. I believe this directive will be difficult to implement , since Police Departments of different States are quite likely to define " hate " and " speech " and " approriate action " , differently . In your knowledge, are there universally agreed upon " definitions " of these words ? What problems do you see arising out of such broad / vague , instructions ? If you were to be the Chief Jstice of India, how would you have worded your instructions / guidance / directive ? If sharply worded / unambiguous " instructions " are not possible then what other " constraining " method to reduce / eliminate, " hate speeches " would you recommend ? / hemen parekh / 29 April 2023

 Power Play : Day or Night

https://lnkd.in/dgzQ9-QA
===================================

Dear Shri R K Singhji,

Congratulations on this initiative. Hopefully this interlinking could :

Ø  Help our own grid to get additional power during our “ peak demand “ periods

Ø  Get power from Saudi Arabia / UAE at very cheap rates , since their cost of generation is very low due to abundant / cheap / local,  oil and gas wells

Ø  Help us avoid running our 50+ very old, coal-based power plants which are operating at PLF of less than 50

Ø  We can avoid Rs Lakhs of crore of investment in numerous new coal-based plants ( - which projects are finding few takers and no bankers )

Ø  We can buy power from SA / UAE during day-times ( periods ) when they offer it at the cheapest rates and store it in GRID-SIZE STORAGE Batteries , for use at night

Ø   Help us save crores of rupees worth foreign exchange budgeted for import of coal

Ø  By avoiding to produce power which uses fossil fuels, we can reduce local warming / air pollution

Ø  SA / UAE have managed to set up SOLAR POWER projects which are selling power at Re 1 / Kwh !

Ø  By supplying power to DISCOMS at Re 1.5 / Kwh , their accumulated losses could be wiped out


In this context, I am glad that the Ministry has taken cognizance of my suggestions sent through following E-Mails :

India embraces SUIIC : re-named as NATGRID

 India embraces SUIIC : re-named as NATGRID


https://lnkd.in/gfpx9C8u

================================

Following is what ChatGPT has to say about SUIIC / YUP :

Advantages of your suggestion:

·         SUIIC and YUP can be used as unique identifiers for individuals, similar to a national ID number, making it easier to verify identity and track transactions.

·         The use of SUIIC and YUP could potentially reduce instances of fraud and identity theft since they would be tied to a person's biometric information and would be difficult to replicate or steal.

·         SUIIC and YUP could potentially provide a more secure and private alternative to traditional payment methods since they would not require the sharing of personal financial information, such as credit card numbers or bank account information.

·         The implementation of SUIIC and YUP could potentially improve financial inclusion since they would provide a means for individuals without traditional forms of identification or banking access to participate in financial transactions.


Disadvantages of your suggestion:

·         The implementation of a new identification system such as SUIIC and YUP would require significant investment in technology and infrastructure, which could be costly.

·         There may be concerns about the privacy implications of collecting and storing individuals' biometric information, as well as potential misuse or abuse of this information by authorities or other parties.

·         The adoption of a new identification system could face resistance from individuals who are wary of government or corporate control over their financial and personal data.


·         There could be challenges in ensuring the interoperability and compatibility of SUIIC and YUP with existing payment systems and financial institutions, which could limit their adoption and use.

JudgeGPT : Thou Shall Not Hate

 JudgeGPT : Thou Shall Not Hate


https://lnkd.in/dxc-42ua

==================================

Dear Shri Kiren Rijijuji,


How to “ monitor / control / punish “ the offenders ?

All election-campaign speeches must be monitored through Video-
Audio recording

Recording must be carried out by :

#   Election Commission Observer
#   State Police Officer
#   Members of audience ( Any number )

After recording , they will upload it on the ECI website

All of these persons shall use ( modified ) cVigil mobile app ( or a
special purpose app developed by ECI for this purpose )

Important difference from cVIGIL , is that the Video/Audio recorder /
up-loader, shall fully identify himself / herself by providing full data
including Aadhar No / Voter Car No ) on the mobile app

Data shall comprise location / date / time / Speaker Name / Political
Party Name etc

AI software ( on ECI website ) will :

Match the Voice Profiles of all politicians with each Audio File .
With video-audio files getting uploaded from SEVERAL /
AUTHENTIC sources, probability of a FAKE file, is little

Use of “ Speech – to – Text “ conversion and then “ Parse the
audio file and determine the “ frequency “ and “ intensity “ of the
hate words

Assign “ Marks “ ( for individual politician and aggregate for all
politicians belonging to each party ) and determine the
“ punishment “ ( enshrined in the AI algorithm ) and publish the “
punishment “  on various websites and forward the same to CBI
and State Police for implementation.
Copy will be sent to ECI and the Supreme Court


Each “ hate “ word used ( in the speech ) , will attract 1 “ mark “
( - at some future date,  after upload of several thousand hours of
Audio file ,  AI software can be “ trained “ to determine the “
intensity “ of a given “ hate “ word , based on the context in
which it was  used, past speech-history of the speaker and
occurrence of other non-hate words in a given speech )


Punishment - Calculation of “ Quantum “

Ø  For a given politician - debarred from making a speech for :

#  More than 10 marks  >   1 week
#  11 to 20 marks      >   1 month
#  More than 20 marks  >   6 months

Ø  For a given Political Party - debarred from contesting any Election for :

#  More than aggregate of 50 marks >  1  year
#  51 to 100 marks                          >  2 years
#  More than 100 marks                   >  5 years



Since the punishment meted out to the offender individual ( - and
to the party to which he / she belongs ), is entirely SOFTWARE
determined , without any human intervention, there can be no
reason to allege any bias / partiality / leniency , on the part of ECI /
State Police

Authority for administering punishment :

#   For individual offender >  Concerned State Police
#   For Political Party        >  Election Commission

====================================

Sure,

- but whereas EU Law of AI may not get every AI developer
on the board for next 2 years ,

- BIG ( and small ) TECH can reach a consensus on a
“ self regulatory Law of Chatbots “ , within 2 months !

Parekh’s Law of Chatbots

New generative AI tools like OpenAI's ChatGPT,
Microsoft's BingGPT and Google's Bard that have stoked a tech-industry frenzy are also capable of releasing a vast flood of online misinformation.

Malik : the Mapping Magician

 Malik : the Mapping Magician


https://lnkd.in/dC5d_Byi
==============================

My question to ChatGPT :

Does this make sense ?

Transport is getting to be a big problem world-wide

By 2018 , total number of cars / buses / trucks in the world was approx. 1.4 Billion

By 2036 , this is expected to go up to 2.8 Billion ( doubling in 20 years )

I have not bothered to dig up figures for bicycles - 2 / 3 Wheeler – Tractors etc

In short travelling / transporting is getting to be a huge headache

And emission pollution is killing millions

All over the world , experts and authorities are coming up with a number of suggestions to solve this problem

To me, these attempts seem disparate / loose / uncoordinated / tangential

I have yet to come across a holistic / all-encompassing / multi-dimensional solution

Following is my suggestion for an INTEGRATED LOGISTICS PLAN



ChatGPT answered :

Yes, the text makes sense.

It presents a problem statement about the increasing transportation problem
worldwide, and suggests an integrated logistics plan (ILP) with guiding principles
and goals to minimize transport and reduce pollution.

The road map to achieve the goals is then presented with the logic for
determining the harm quotient (HQ) based on factors such as energy source,
ownership, purpose, age of the vehicle, type of vehicle, capacity, space used, time
when used, and where used.

The text also provides an illustration of how to compute the HQ.


My next question :

Keeping the above-stated objectives in mind , do you think following
implementation process / technology platform , is workable ?


ChatGPT answered :

The proposed implementation process and technology platform seem workable
in achieving the objectives stated.

The use of NaviC, a satellite-based vehicle tracking and monitoring system, can
effectively track and monitor all vehicles in India and calculate the HQ matrix and
TRAN-SCORE for each vehicle.

The use of FASTag RFID sensors and other sensors can collect data on energy
source, type of vehicle, capacity, manufacturing date, purpose, and emission
levels, while pre-loaded payment wallets linked to owners' bank accounts can
ensure automatic deductions of TRANS-TAX.

The proposed system also involves the use of CCTV cameras and mobile apps for
displaying HQ matrix tabulation, while RTOs and a central control room can
provide 24x7 monitoring.

Establishing a linkage between TRAN-SCORE and the amount of TRANS-TAX
payable would require tabulating road-taxes and other vehicle-ownership related
taxes for each type of vehicle in each state.

Overall, the proposed system can help reduce,

Ø   traffic congestion,

Ø  air pollution, and

Ø  road accidents ,

- while improving road infrastructure and transport services in India.
