When we see the machines helping mankind without writing explicit software but through learning, just like we humans have learnt – it is totally path-breaking.
How are deep learning and AI revolutionizing computing and where do you see the geospatial industry fitting into this?
Deep learning is changing all the impossible scenarios that the traditional software coding used to be challenged of. Earlier, the domain expert would decide what they perceived and then formulated it, and based on that a software code was written. But now, you look at the patterns, images, look at what is happening around, and through that experience, you try and identify what needs to be done.
For example, in Agartala, India, a landslide yielded 55 days of blockage. In times such as today getting blocked for 55 days incurs huge costs and challenges to an economy. Nevertheless, if the pattern of the landslide could had been figured out earlier, where you knew that because of deforestation, Climate Change, the river changing pattern, there is going to be a landslide, the entire route could be rerouted. That is the difference the new age is making.
How would artificial intelligence help us solve bigger human problems?

Rolling in the Deep
WHEN IT COMES TO choosing a career path, India has a long tradition of following the family practise. It is pretty common to see a doctor’s son taking up medicine or a chartered accountant’s daughter joining her father’s firm. So, when the son of the Dean of the city’s medical college and the grandson of the state’s most prominent physician decided to break the family tradition, quite a few eyebrows were raised.
