Upskilling is non-negotiable" -- we heard the same thing with big data, then cloud, then blockchain. every few years it's another "non-negotiable" skill. it's tiring. most of it just becomes another tool in the box, not some fundamental shift requiring everyone to relearn everything.

My own research on Indic languages constantly grapples with how training data reflects societal biases, making fair and equitable outputs a significant challenge. It's not just about technical fixes, but also understanding the cultural nuances that shape language and perception.
