About this episode
Would you trust your life to a robot surgeon? Robotic arms, trained through imitation learning using surgery videos, are revolutionizing healthcare. These steady-handed machines—nothing like the transformers we once imagined—are already assisting in surgeries. While no human can process thousands of data points at once, these constantly learning robots might just improve how surgeries are performed. On the connectivity front, the debate between 4G and 5G continues. While 5G promises faster speeds and lower latency, 4G remains critical, especially in areas with limited infrastructure. Many users still find 4G sufficient for their needs, and projections suggest that even in 2030, India will still have around 410 million 4G users. At the same time, enterprises are increasingly adopting 5G for high-tech operations like IoT devices, digital twins, and AI applications. For industries like manufacturing and healthcare, 5G is essential to connect shop floors to boardrooms seamlessly. In the U.S., Donald Trump’s return as the 47th president could reshape the tech industry. With 50% of revenues for major tech companies coming from the U.S., AI advancements and automation are set to disrupt traditional business models. Even Bitcoin, once dismissed by Trump as a scam, faces uncertainty under his administration. From robotic surgeries to the future of connectivity and governance, the rapid evolution of technology is transforming every aspect of life—are we ready?
