How Can We Matter

The first part of my blog article Beyond Human Error: Software Bug Led to Flight AI171 Tragedy dated July 14, 2025 outlines why putting the focus squarely on the pilots and the aircraft's fuel switches will only mislead the investigation . In this article we explore the critical actions Boeing and regulators need to pursue using AI-driven Digital Twin Technology , going beyond the mechanical fuel switch checks currently mandated by the Indian regulator, DGCA . What is Digital Twin Technology Digital Twin Technology involves creating a virtual replica of a physical object, process, or system using real-time data from sensors and other sources. This digital representation allows for simulation, analysis, and prediction of the real-world counterpart's behavior, enabling informed decision-making and optimization across various industries. Digital Twin models are designed for testing real-time software, including critical subsystems like the Generator Control Unit (GCU) and other a...

Discover how we can reimagine education for the AI era , drawing insights from Sanskrit's profound categorization of different types of "teaching."  As AI transforms existing professions and creates entirely new job types , the nuanced distinctions in "teaching" beautifully captured by the Sanskrit language gain significant new relevance. Beyond Teacher : A Categorization of Educators Among languages, the ancient Indian language  Sanskrit is arguably unique in possessing such a nuanced vocabulary, allowing it to differentiate between various types of " teachers " according to their distinct capabilities. Copyright: Raja Ravi Varma - Google Arts & Culture Here is a fascinating insight into the nuanced understanding of teaching embedded within the Sanskrit language. It highlights how ancient Indian thought meticulously categorized different facets of learning and mentorship, far beyond a single, generic term for "teacher." This linguistic p...
