Ginni Rometty

irginia "Ginni" Rometty is an American business executive who was executive chairman of IBM after stepping down as CEO on April 1, 2020. She was previously chairman, president and CEO of IBM, becoming the first woman to head the company. She retired from IBM on December 31, 2020, after a near-40 year career there.

Indian AI startup Sarvam is betting on voice-enabled AI bots to drive AI adoption in a country with 22 official languages and over 19,000 dialects. The company has launched a series of offerings, including a voice-enabled AI bot supporting more than 10 Indian languages, targeting businesses and enterprises, particularly those relying on customer support.

Sarvam's approach is rooted in the belief that Indians prefer speaking in their native languages rather than typing, especially given the challenges of typing in Indian languages. The startup's AI voice agents can be deployed on various platforms, including WhatsApp and traditional voice calls, with pricing starting at approximately 1 cent per minute of usage.

The voice-enabled AI agents are built on Sarvam's foundational small language model, Sarvam 2B, trained on synthetic data due to limited availability of Indian language content online. The company is also launching an audio-language model called Shuka and a generative AI workbench for lawyers.

Sarvam's efforts align with India's push for "sovereign AI" and the government's IndiaAI program. The startup's focus on language-specific models and voice-enabled AI could play a crucial role in democratizing access to digital services across India's diverse linguistic landscape, potentially contributing to the country's AI infrastructure development.

AI Decoding Ancient Cuneiform: Unraveling the Epic of Gilgamesh

In a groundbreaking fusion of ancient literature and modern technology, researchers are employing artificial intelligence to decipher one of the world's oldest stories: the Epic of Gilgamesh.

The Challenge of Cuneiform

The Epic of Gilgamesh, a 4,000-year-old Babylonian poem, was originally inscribed on clay tablets using cuneiform script. This ancient writing system poses significant challenges for modern scholars:

  • Cuneiform is highly ambiguous, with up to 25 ways to represent a single syllable.

  • Only fragments of the original poem have survived, scattered across various tablets.

  • The text exists in multiple languages, including Sumerian and Akkadian.

These factors have made the complete reconstruction of the epic a daunting task, with only about 60% translated into readable form using traditional methods.

Enter AI: The Fragmentarium Project

Led by Professor Enrique Jiménez from Ludwig Maximilian University of Munich, a team of researchers is developing an innovative solution:

  1. Digital Archive: The "Fragmentarium," an online database containing over 300,000 lines of text from more than 21,000 cuneiform tablets.

  2. AI Algorithm: CuneiBLAST, a machine learning algorithm designed to:

    • Recognize patterns in cuneiform text

    • Identify matching fragments or texts from the same work

    • Compare text sequences with the extensive Fragmentarium database

Early Successes and Future Potential

While still in development, cuneiBLAST has already yielded promising results:

  • Identified several new fragments belonging to the Epic of Gilgamesh

  • Discovered a version of the poem dating to 130 BC, the most recent found to date

  • Established connections between fragments of various other cuneiform texts

Professor Jiménez emphasizes the broader implications: "The new texts we're discovering are helping us understand the literature and culture of Babylon as a whole."

Open Access and Collaborative Efforts

To accelerate progress, the Fragmentarium has been made publicly accessible:

  • Approximately 200 scholars have already utilized the database

  • The most up-to-date digital version of the Epic of Gilgamesh is now available online

  • Researchers worldwide are invited to explore thousands of unidentified fragments

As AI continues to bridge the gap between ancient wisdom and modern understanding, the secrets of cuneiform tablets may finally be unlocked, offering unprecedented insights into one of humanity's earliest literary masterpieces.
