A sua empresa usa IA com governança? E muito mais! O especialista defendeu que o trabalho, com inteligência artificial, não desaparece: ele sobe de nível. 🚀 “Uma organização frontier aprende mais rápido. Ela integra IA na operação”. #SOUSummit #SOU #SeuFuturoHoje #AIandData #InteligenciaArtificial

Vipul Kothari liked thisVipul Kothari liked thisI won't say what my favorite SU to work with has always been, but there will be signs (or flags 🇨🇦)... 😉 For legal purposes, this is a joke. Our family is hiking and exploring Banff, Jasper and more of Alberta, Canada this summer vacation. Having heard tales of its natural beauty, I came with high expectations - and was left astounded as it surpassed them at every turn. Also travel with kids in the era of AI is life changing - routes optimized, attractions researched, tickets purchased with minimal effort. (Still no solution for backseat quarreling "she's touching me!!!" on scenic drives.) Enjoying a last few days in Calgary before returning to the office and beginning the school year next week. Grateful to Microsoft for giving me the space and time to disconnect! Shout out to my Canada friends for advice and support along the way Kree Govender Harrison Lee Kelly Pennell Ryan Vanderveer! ...Where should we go next?

SAE Baja Illinois, 2011

Worked in a team of 20 members towards designing and fabricating an All-Terrain Vehicle for participation in the SAE Baja Illinois, 2011. Having worked for just under a year, the vehicle was successfully manufactured by us and shipped to the US for the competition, in which we successfully completed all events.

The IndiaAI Impact Summit 2026 just wrapped. 529 sessions. 4 days. 875,000+ views. I had major FOMO all week about not being able to attend in person. I didn't want to miss out on the discussions and learnings from those 4 days but with 529 sessions, it's just not humanly possible to watch them all online. So I built an AI workflow to parse the entire thing instead 🙂 I used Claude Cowork to categorize and analyze the full dataset of 529 sessions, then NotebookLM to go deep on one track: 'AI Governance & Policy' (with 92 sessions). Some interesting insights that came out from just this track: 1/ India is #2 in the world in accredited AI certifications ahead of the UK. Axis Bank was the first bank globally to receive this certification. 2/ The Indian Army is already building sovereign military LLMs. 3/ India launched Astra: the first AI safety risk database built specifically for the Indian context. These and many other are insights I simply would not have come across otherwise and this was just 1 of the tracks. I wrote this up in detail in the Nanobits newsletter, and also sharing the AI workflow I built if you want to replicate it for your own use (heads up: it's token-heavy, so optimize for your context).
