Ganesh Chaturthi Special Edition

On the eve of Ganesh Chaturthi, let’s look at the obstacles in the path of the tech and digital world.

In the US an antitrust trial Alphabet's Google faced a second case on how the tech giants ad business harms news publishers.?

While monopolistic practices are the achilles heel for Google, for Snap Inc., it’s a problem of not having enough advertising.

Netflix faces the obstacle of a growing carbon footprint from consumption of your favourite shows. How the OTT major is looking at cutting down the footprint, is another story we look at in this week’s line up.?

In the AI scheme of things, the obstacle is when the machine does not know everything, it must be trained to ask for help. That’s a question that’s increasingly gaining credence with Microsoft’s engineers.

Reliance Jio is experimenting with an AI strategy that could potentially disrupt big tech. Read about all of this and more in this week’s edition.

May the lord remove all tech-led obstacles in your path of progress. Wishing you all a very Happy Ganesh Chaturthi.
