In today’s podcast, you’ll gain insights into several key areas:
In today's digital era, we are bombarded with overwhelming information on our screens daily. This flood of data creates a significant problem: filtering through the massive content to find what truly matters and what should be avoided. We must identify information that captures our interest, enhances our understanding, and enriches our lives rather than just being controlled by the algorithms' contents.
To tackle this challenge, we must develop strategies and tools that help us efficiently access high-quality, relevant content amidst the constant buzz. It requires a discerning eye to differentiate valuable content from the trivial, ensuring that what we consume contributes positively to our knowledge, well-being, and satisfaction. It is quite a challenging task, and even before making it into a task, there needs to be awareness that, yes, this is the challenge that we as humans are getting content from the algorithms to support the interest of these platforms.
In addition, promoting digital literacy plays a crucial role in this context. Educating internet users on effectively searching for, evaluating, and engaging with digital content can empower them to make informed decisions about what they read, watch, and listen to online. This knowledge is invaluable in an age where the quality of information can significantly impact our perceptions, decisions, and actions.
Ultimately, our goal is to transform the challenge of information overload into an opportunity for growth, learning, and enrichment. By leveraging advanced technologies, fostering critical skills, and promoting high standards of content quality, we can create a digital environment where abundant information becomes an asset rather than a hindrance.

An excellent quote from the guest speaker, 'Bitcoin introduced the blockchain to the world, and similar to this, ChatGPT has introduced machine learning to the world.'
What to Expect in Today's Discussion:
With the dawn of ChatGPT, to be more accurate, the Large Language Models (LLMs) have given a new way to interact with everything, from content to writing code to design/drawing a picture.
These models, sophisticated as they are, rely on one critical component: the prompt.
As AI technology matures, crafting the perfect prompt, termed "prompt engineering," has become a high-demand skill set.
This brings us to the new field of prompt engineering. How best will you pass the instructions to large language models? The best results you will get it.
The Evolution of Interaction:
With the ChatGPT, how we communicate with machines has taken a quantum leap. No longer are we confined to simple commands; now, we can engage in intricate, layered conversations. This transition isn't just about the models themselves but how we "talk" to them. The better the prompt instruction, the more refined and effective the output. Just as the pen is mightier than the sword, the prompt holds the power in the AI domain.
Today's guest speaker will reveal his findings and research how he is writing prompts not for him, but he has started sharing those prompts with the broader world and is stormed with the subscribers who began using his crafted prompts to solve his daily jobs.

In today's rapidly evolving corporate landscape, continual learning and upskilling have become crucial for career advancement. Various educational options are available to professionals, each offering unique benefits, from corporate organizations to opting for MOOCs or having formal degree programs. The debate between colleagues and friends often refers to two main paths: a formal degree versus hands-on experience. In this Podcast, I will cover higher degrees during a professional career and how I decided to go for it.
Finally, after a break of six months due to my university dissertation, I am back to writing blogs and podcasts.
Choosing Your Path:
The decision to pursue higher education can be complex, with common considerations such as MBA programs versus technical degrees. This dilemma often feels like a roller coaster ride, requiring much thought and time, and the same thing I was going through while contemplating this.
My journey toward earning an MSc in AI started in late 2019, before the COVID-19 pandemic. While working on several emerging technologies initiatives with many customers, I explored online courses on platforms like edx.org, coursera.org, and LinkedIn learning.
While these courses provided valuable information, I wanted to get deeper into the basics and build upon them. It depends on your personality and, historically, how you take up any new topic or subject to develop your knowledge of it.
After numerous discussions with friends, colleagues, and former managers, it became clear that my aspirations needed to align with what I was targeting or aiming for. I had to spend considerable time deciding whether to pursue an MBA or a tech-focused degree. I concluded that I envisioned a two-step progression: first, to follow the latest technical degree, which equips me with the latest tech, and then to supplement it with management courses.
The Decision to Pursue AI:
Given my involvement in numerous emerging tech projects, my interest naturally gravitated toward data science and AI degree programs. The question then became, where to enroll? Back in 2020, there were fewer options than there are today.
After extensive research, I decided not to go to US universities due to time zone differences and targeted UK universities. While the selection of universities was essential, and the considerations included the fee structure, overall university ranking, job placement record, course structure, and location.
The Online Learning Experience:
The pandemic has exponentially increased the demand for online courses and degrees. As an online student of an AI MSc program, I've been introduced to a new learning methodology that differs from traditional face-to-face instruction.
The primary challenge of online learning is maintaining self-discipline. With it, staying on track with the courses and completing them is challenging. Furthermore, studying in-depth and grasping the material beyond just checking off completion boxes is essential and needs to be paramount in the study approach.
Balancing Professional and Personal Life:
It's complicated, and the journey of juggling a professional career, pursuing a higher degree, and maintaining a personal life was no less than walking a tightrope. The constant switch between work, studies, and family responsibilities was often overwhelming, and there were countless moments when I felt like dropping out of the university program.
Despite the challenges, what kept me going was the unwavering support of my wife. Despite the up and downs, She often reminded me of why I started this journey in the first place and now need to keep an eye on it rather than focusing on something else.
In this ride, I've learned that pursuing a higher degree while working full-time and managing family responsibilities is incredibly challenging. However, with the right support system and a clear vision of the end goal, it is indeed possible.
And learning, growth, and career advancement reward the trip worthwhile.

A deepfake refers to a specific kind of media or photo where a person in an image or video is transacted with another person however it will look like the original person in an image or video.
To make a deep fake video, a creator swaps one person’s face and replaces it with another, using a deep learning algorithm generative adversarial networks (GAN).
A formal definition as per Wikipedia:
Deepfakes are synthetic media in which a person in an existing image or video is replaced with someone else's likeness. While the act of faking content is not new, deepfakes leverage powerful techniques from machine learning and artificial intelligence to manipulate or generate visual and audio content with a high potential to deceive. The main machine learning methods used to create deepfakes are based on deep learning and involve training generative neural network architectures, such as autoencoders or generative adversarial networks (GANs) – Source: Wikipedia
