Satya Nadella checks right boxes talking about G20, Make in India and AI

Looking to help in "amplifying" the India story, Microsoft Executive Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella on Thursday said the country's technology story and the policies that helped it reach here is a tale that needs to be told to the world. Briefing the media after the Future Ready Technology summit in Bengaluru, Nadella said "India is taking the leap to contribute both in the digital technology as well as the soft side of it--the policy side of it, as to how this came about."

You can't insult me by saying Biryani is tiffin: Satya Nadella to ChatGPT

Microsoft Executive Chairman and CEO Satya Nadella had a disagreement with ChatGPT and the software apologised. All this over Biriyani. ChatGPT is a popular AI-enabled software and a chat-robot. Nadella asked ChatGPT to come up with the most popular south Indian tiffin items in the future and it came up with the usual suspects - Idli, Dosa and vada. But among the options was biriyani and that seems to have left a bad taste in Nadella's mouth. He told ChatGPT that as a Hyderabadi, the software cannot insult his intelligence by calling Biriyani a South Indian 'tiffin.' And according to Nadella, the software said, "I am sorry! " And to keep the dialogue going after this, Nadella asked ChatGPT to create a play between Idli and Dosa over who was better. To add literature to the batter, Nadella asked the software to make the dialogue, a part of a Shakespearean play! Nadella was speaking at the Future Ready Technology Summit in Bengaluru on Wednesday and decided to introduce the crowd
