Where AI meets everyday life and creativity.
We can predict technology and work in two categories. The first is catastrophic: AI will take all the jobs, unemployment shall increase, the economy we know now is over. This view is generated out of gradual fear, but it has been wrong about every previous technology wave — electricity, computers, the internet — and the … Read more
Meera is a third-year student at a private engineering college in Nagpur. Last semester, she spent three evenings writing a literature review for her mini-project. Her batchmate Siddharth spent two hours on the same task, submitted something better, and spent the rest of those three evenings watching cricket. Meera didn’t suspect Siddharth of anything. She … Read more
Here’s a situation: You use Notion for notes, project planning, and to organize your work. You also use ChatGPT to write something, analyze a problem, or get a quick answer.

Useful if you’re a PhD student choosing a research direction. … Read more
Something strange is happening in how people learn. Ten years ago, if you wanted to learn something completely new — say, data analysis, or conversational German, or how to read a financial statement — you had two realistic options. Find a course and spend weeks going through it at the course’s pace. Or find a … Read more

Very few talk about the rules that are quietly being written in the background — rules that will determine how AI is used, who is accountable when it goes wrong, and what rights ordinary Indians have in an increasingly AI-driven economy.
