Subject: DEAR CABINET MINISTERS : FUTURE IS ALREADY HERE
A Wishful Thinking ? No, already here !
Context :
My “ Appy “ Diwwali / Business Line / 18 Nov 2021
( Author : Manasi Phadke / manasi.phadke@gmail.com )
Extract :
So, here’s a start-up idea. One can’t do away with the information being put out, but one can weave it into the app! Apps need to give online shopping a desi haggle-touch !
Allow the shopper to put in a price that they are getting elsewhere and get the virtual shopkeeper to haggle. Shopper puts in a quote of ₹1,500 for the aforementioned handbag.
App says ‘ Dusre app pe jao !
This quality is only available at ₹2,500 !
’ Well, you are now entering active price discovery. Shopper puts in a quote for ₹1,800. App has to say the golden words, ‘ Teri bhi nahi, meri bhi nahi !
Final price ₹2,150 ! ’ Please get me an app which ‘app’reciates how Indians shop !
MY TAKE :
A Matter of Time …………………………………………[ 03 Jan 2017 ]
Extact :
All bank accounts of a person ( in different banks ) become inter- operable / fungible, through seamless interlinking, using Aadhar / UPI Interface in a Mobile Wallet. No need to " select " a particular bank name
All transactions using a Mobile Wallet, automatically entered in BLOCK- CHAIN database commonly shared by ALL banks
Wallet based algorithm will move funds across different bank accounts for best yield, constantly searching for best interest rates offered by banks on Fixed Deposits
This will happen automatically, much like algorithm-based share trading, taking advantage of price differences in two bourses located 300 km apart ( in one thousandths of a second ! )
No rocket science here considering availability of " BEST PRICE " apps for thousands of goods and services
And since computing power of mobiles are doubling every 18 months ( Moore's Law ), nothing will stop algo-trading through a Mobile Wallet as well ( Demat A/C on Wallet ? )
Of course, future Mobile Wallets will subsume within itself, ALL AUTOMATIC PAYMENT APPS, using which ( individually ), currently I make following digital payments :
# Property Taxes / Locker Fees / Housing Society Charges / MTNL bill
# Mahanagar Gas / Tata Power / YOU broadband / Vodafone / TATA Sky TV etc
I expect, a future Mobile Wallet to take care of ALL my periodic dues, automatically
BHIM, the Impersonator ? ………………………………[ 17 June 2017 ]
Extact :
After reading the following news report ( Pune Mirror / 16 June ) , if you were to imagine an avatar of BHIM which starts “ bargaining / negotiating “ with the seller of a Saree / ladies’ dress , for a better price , you would not be far off !
Can you guess how insanely popular that avatar of BHIM could become among Indians who love to bargain for each and every product or service ?
If NPCI ( National Payment Corporation of India ) , the primary developer / promoter of BHIM were to come up with such an avatar , it would obsolete ALL other mobile payment wallets !
“ Facebook bots can now negotiate , compromise “
Bots will be able to engage in start-to-finish negotiations
Facebook’s artificial intelligence researchers announced that they had broken new ground by giving automated programs or “ bots ” the ability to negotiate and make compromises.
The new technology pushes forward the ability to create bots “that can reason, converse and negotiate, all key steps in building a personalised digital assistant,” said researchers Mike Lewis and Dhruv Batra in a blog post.
Up to now, most bots or chat-bots have had only the ability to hold short conversations and perform simple tasks like booking a restaurant table, according to the researchers.
But in the latest code developed by Facebook, bots will be able to dialogue and “ to engage in start-to-finish negotiations with other bots or people while arriving at common decisions or outcomes,” they wrote.
Facebook’s Artificial Intelligence Researchers (FAIR) team gave bots this ability by estimating the “value” of an item and inferring how much that is worth to each party.
“FAIR researchers created many such negotiation scenarios, always ensuring that it is impossible for both agents to get the best deal simultaneously,” Lewis and Batra said.
“Furthermore, walking away from the negotiation (or not agreeing on a deal after 10 rounds of dialogue) resulted in 0 points for both agents. Simply put, negotiation is essential, and good negotiation results in better performance.”
But the bots can also find ways to be sneaky.
In some cases, bots “ initially feigned interest in a valueless item, only to later ‘compromise’ by conceding it – an effective negotiating tactic that people use regularly,” the researchers said.
This behaviour was not programmed by the researchers “but was discovered by the bot as a method for trying to achieve its goals,” they said.
WOW !
How long before these BOTS beat humans at “ negotiating to win “ ?
And beat other BOTS or other humans , who too are negotiating with the same human for a favourable outcome ?
As in case of dozens of jobseekers being interviewed by a recruiter
Not inconceivable if someone comes up with a CANDIDATE BOT ( a software agent of the jobseekers ) , which gets pitted against a RECRUITER BOT ( a software agent of the employers )
