We are in the era of information technology. The entire world is centered around information technology. Even in a least developed country like Nepal, the rapid expansion of technology is evident. Along with the expansion of the internet, every piece of information about individuals is stored in one form or another. This raises concerns among people about the risk of their personal information being compromised.

Elon Musk, who is the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, and also the CTO and executive chairman of Twitter, said on Twitter early Saturday morning that Twitter’s cash flow is negative due to a nearly 50% drop in advertising revenue and “heavy debt”. https://youtu.be/BdzxxmQudw8 Musk stated that Twitter needs to reach positive cash flow before it can focus on anything else.

The big telecom company Ncell, currently owned by the Axiata Group, recently faced a major setback. They had a big money dispute of $500 million (~Rs. 66 Billion) with the Nepal Government, but their claim fell flat. All this trouble is over taxes that should have been paid when Axiata bought Ncell from another company, Telia Sonera, back in 2016. To avoid taxes in Nepal, the deal was set up in a way that another company’s shares, based in the tax-friendly country of Saint Kitts and Nevis, were transferred instead. This company, Reynolds Holdings Limited, was the main holding company…

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that I believe the Information Age ended on March 14, 2023 with the launch of GPT-4, and we are now entering a new era which will be known as either the “AI/Robotics Age,” the “Knowledge Age,” or the “Machine Age.” I believe AI will profoundly change the way we work, and the time to pay attention to it is now. Earlier this week, several prominent public and business leaders, many of them senior in the field of AI, signed an open letter calling for a 6 month moratorium on the further development…
