Today’s episode spans enterprise, research, infrastructure, and society: Orbia’s new Pune IT hub to drive global digital transformation; a stability-boosted Lasso using correlation-aware weights; NVIDIA and Qualcomm joining an India deep‑tech coalition aligned with India’s ₹1T RDI scheme; DeepMind’s hurricane model outperforming on track and intensity; Google’s ambitious orbital TPU datacenters and the engineering tradeoffs; public attitudes on AI in politics—support for assistance, not delegation; Mukuru and JUMO’s AI-powered microloans for South African users; the shift from sales heroics to unified systems; Coca‑Cola’s AI holiday ad and why generative video still struggles; why accountability, not just capability, defines AI’s future; Adobe’s AI expansion across Photoshop, Lightroom, and Firefly; Skyfall‑GS turning satellite imagery into walkable 3D cities; and how AI adoption challenges entry-level IT roles—plus practical ways to adapt. Three takeaways: accountability multiplies capability, human‑in‑the‑loop wins, and talent plus tools beats tools alone.
