@Chanakyalatest update, UPSC high command has scolded evaluaters for their sub-optimal checking.

we are not too naïve to not know a hawk from a handsaw

hi everyone

My AI essay in 2019 mains- apologies for asking you to comment on it when the results are expected to come in a couple of weeks.

Introduction:

Me: Call Sharath
Reply: Call went to Sharath
Me:What is famous restaurent in this area
Reply:
Me:What is your Name?
Reply: My name is SIRI.

Mentioned Google search page, Amazon search items displayed while browsing other webpages, Driverless cars. Technology used is AI.
Then I defined AI in my own words and its utilities.

in this Paragraph I mentioned negative impacts of AI like tech transformation, job loss in the short period of time.

I counter-argued with Chinese early adoption of IR3.0 and its positive impact in terms of current growth of Export led economy. mentioned Chinese IR4.0(AI, data...)
Stressed point on advantage of early adoption of new tech revolution.

I supported AI in my essay from here. Reasons- above one, changing global dynamics - US-china trade war, protectionism in several countries,
technological advancement.
mentioned its uses in different fields like - Medicine, education, transportation, e-commerce, traffic management, Urbanization-Migration patterns.

I talked about Eco Survey mentioned about AI in its 2018-19 report, Niti Aayog @ India @ 75 years report - Fourth IR or IR4.0.
with these arguments I supported AI

In this part I talked about challenges - Technology transfer, Budget allocation, Policy CERTAINITY(mentioned uncertainity of e-commerce rules in India) , Education and skill building.
I mentioned Sharda Prasad committee report on Skill India program - spent 15K crores but no proper skill dev according to organization needs.

Here onwards, I mentioned about wayforwad - here I included PMUY scheme which talks about - skilling, reskilling , upskilling- so AI training programs
could be integrated with this sceheme.Optimum utilization of funds, Policy support, better infrastucture, R&D

now I concluded my essay in two paragraphs - agian talked about advantages(which are not mentioned above) and current technologies like - CYBORGs
AI became a topic of discussion everywhere. Mentioned - Western European countries increasing their fund allocation on AI

Ended with Amartya Sen CAPABILITY approach - increasing capabilities of people which increase job opportunities,
improve livelihood -

@bharathakkera-ips862seems quite good TBH. I believe alot depends on the examiner too. Hope for the best.

@Asli_hai_sabThanks for the update. Last I heard, the evaluators have staged a walkout in protest and are unlikely to indulge in any further evaluation. We are all f***ed.

@bharathakkera-ips862Ending with capability approach doesn't directly fit with AI as capability approach can be related to anything.

Someone telling me today that around 200 seats has been added in 2019 vacancy.

Did someone hear like this or am I a victim of fake news ??

Anybody has any such info ??

@AplharomeoI heard now UPSC isgoing to sub-contract evaluation work to vajiram.

@pmishra997125yes that's true. Most of the examiners are on strike along with JNU students. They want also Azadi

@pmishra997125Damn, wasn't there a competitive bidding for the evaluation? Evaluators from Vision could've checked better.

seniority trumps merit here. vision abhi baccha hai

@Aplharomeovajiram did predatory pricing. They offered to do it for free. Only their people are gonna be selected. You can verify it later when vajiram uploads its results.

@pmishra997125It is just rumor. Don't believe it.

@TeddyWestsideone of the major takeaway's from the meeting, the evaluators are not allowed to check copies when they are too high, mild high is manageable.

@Asli_hai_saballowed to check after having a hallucinogen like LSD or stimulant like methamphetamine but not after having depressant alcohol

UPSC invigilators after reading the above discussion:

@pmishra997125Shouldn't the Competition Commision of India be called for this instance of monopolistic behaviour by an established player? Double whammy for non-Vaziram aspirants.

Can someone confirm from where did you get this information.

@bharathakkera-ips862
Jiska darr tha wohi hua...

Demand of topic is limited. Jobless or better job opportunities...

Rise of Artificial Intelligence: the threat of jobless future or better job opportunities through reskilling and upskilling

So i think though u have written well it has diverted from the core demand.. which is only 20-25% in your essay..

Hope that examiner awards you on higher side..

All the best

@Haeckeli think he has focussed more on AI in general. not on linking AI+job. if he had linked pros of AI with job opportunities then he will be awarded decently
