The AI industry is blooming at a very rapid rate. AI has start to appear in almost every sector and industry. But the results of AI may vary depending upon the data fed to it, the techniques used, the scope of its usage, the expertise level of its users and builders, and the expectations set with that AI. The quality of data fed to the system vastly affects the AI decision making.
The ERP giants like SAP and Oracle have their roots in the garden for a really long time that it will take at least two years for any new competitor to give them a dent. Also, let’s not forget that the technology is flying at a rapid rate, so two years is really long time for a technology to go outdated. Recently, it has been noticed that these giants are trying to move their on-premises systems to cloud based systems. This is not an easy task to move tons of data without much affecting the pricing and retaining the customers.

In countries where legacy systems, paper-based processes and outdated transparency are disarming both governments and citizens alike, Government-Tech, a $400 billion market is a promising take which is slowly giving attention to new age startups and venture capitalist for bringing in efficiency and transparency into the age-old problems. It has the potentiality to disrupt the age old delivery system of the government and provide much better and faster services at reduced costs. Coming to the Indian context, Government-Tech is still at a nascent stage and involves lot of risks but it can provide solutions to the problems involving obsolete technology, lack of information of processes and slow delivery due to bureaucracy which mostly happen to curb the government and the public sectors. For example, a solar powered IoT Air-Quality monitor called, “Polludron” is a low cost, eco-friendly and compact Oizom Instruments Solution which solves the problem of increasing commercialization. Despite the bright potentiality of the Government-Tech Start-Ups in India, there are also many challenges and problems that are rooted in the procurement processes of the government and bureaucratic mind set. Although technology continues to evolve, the unskilled and untrained workforce in the government/public sector results in sub optimal solutions as consultants have no practical exposure to the actual problems thus compromising the expected overall efficiency.

Traces of radioactive waste from 2011 Fukushima nuclear power plant accident has been recently spotted in a California wine by a group of French nuclear physicists. On testing 18 bottles of California’s rosé and cabernet sauvignon produced in 2009 and onwards, it was found that wines produced after the disaster had increased levels of man-made radioactive particles. Two methods have been used by researchers to look for traces of a radioactive isotope called cesium-137. While the first method detects the particles through the wine bottles without having to open or destroy them, the second and the more accurate method for detection is to destroy the wines through heating and reducing them to ashes.Cesium-137 is then tested in those ashes. Inspite of the detection, the experts, according to the New York Times, have assured that there is nothing to worry about health because of the increased levels of radioactive waste in wines.

Proper implementation of Machine Learning(ML) techniques in the organisation can turn out to be a blessing for the organisation. Leaders should consider that implementation of ML can be beneficial not only for them but for the whole organisation as well. Machine Learning can do the repetitive and mindless tasks, providing time for employees to focus on more important tasks. Out of the box solutions can be tempting but at the same time they should put some effort and investment in outlining the best usage of this blooming technology.
The ultimate goal of any customer-facing department is to provide an advanced, instant and trouble free customer support. This real time customer support wasn’t as possible as it is today. With the advent of innovative chatbots, businesses can now offer their clienteles a convenient and self service solution. They have not only cut down on the long periods of time when customers had to wait both physically and virtually to have their queries addressed but also have cut down on the necessity of speaking with humans for the same. The question that arises in this context is that whether buyers are really comfortable in interacting with chatbots. Yes, it is true that many people found it pretty strange to speak to a bot initially, but as more people learned about the benefits of the artificial tools, the more convenient it appeared to them to communicate with chatbots. Chatbots can collect data based on recent interactions and respond to a message or a solution that directly suits the needs and preferences of the customers. The combination of humans and chatbots have always been successful in providing a results driven and around-the-clock hassle free service thus enabling them to increase productivity and customer satisfaction.

The social media platforms are proving to have immense potentiality and opportunity for the businesses to focus on their marketing strategies by targeting their audience on such platforms. However, given the fact that social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter are mostly used for mainly two intentions: to get informed and to have fun, it’s not easy to generate sales through them. Some tips to tackle these types of challenges are listed below.
1. Focus should be on Creating a Community- Before using social media as a marketing strategy, first it is necessary to understand the inherent self-explanatory motive of the audience for using it. People use social media to connect with like-minded people and not necessarily with businesses. Hence creating a social media group or a community can help promote the company’s brand and keep the audience cognizant of the latest stocks and provide a platform where the members can actively share their thoughts about the products.
2. Being a Go-To Page- Having people come to a company’s page with questions and addressing their queries in the comments is a good way to kick-start sales when the audience will start making purchases without having to invite them in taking an action. However having a large scale authority as business is not easy and would require the following dimensions:
· Content- An integrated high quality content blog is required to be published at the website that would provide solutions
· Paying attention to the description of the blog posts and promoting them so that engagement is triggered after reading them.
A lot of effort and patience coupled with the right strategies can indeed help to generate sales of a company from the social media audience.
