The lack of basic privacy and security laws pertaining to digital payments in India puts the onus on consumers who use such services.

Even as demonetisation pushes for more and more cashless and online transactions through, e-wallets, banks and other such apps, there is a serious lack of clarity on how these companies handle customer data, and how it is shared with other entities. "Data is the new oil," is an oft repeated phrase in nearly every technology related conversation that comes up anywhere in India today.

When I think of AI, I think of HAL.
HAL 9000 is the computer in *2001: A Space Odyssey*. HAL runs the systems on *Discovery One* the spacecraft sent to Jupiter to investigate a mysterious signal. Along the way, one things leads to another and HAL ends up trying to kill his human crew. He fails and is undone by crew member David Bowman who unplugs HAL’s systems—killing the computer while it sings a childhood song.
This moment is generally seen as poignant.

Automated technologies using artificial intelligence are increasingly being applied in daily life, and Australia is no exception. Transportation has emerged as a prominent area in which AI and automation are being deployed among the general population, prominently unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs – better known as drones) and autonomous vehicles (better known as ‘driverless cars’).

Earlier this year, the defeat of Go world champion Lee Sedol by Google’s AlphaGo underscored the coming-of-age of artificial intelligence (or AI for short). Since 1956, when the term AI was first coined, billions of dollars of investment have flowed into the development and commercialization of AI – a term referring to computer systems that demonstrate human-like intellect. Today, major tech companies like Google and IBM are claiming that AI will benefit humankind in unprecedented ways.

By definition, the project of artificial intelligence has largely been concerned with replicating human capability for logic and thought. The engineering history of AI reads like a narrative conflict of man versus himself, driven to model the next great feat of thought, capability for strategy, and even humor and punning. Those engineering benchmarks met, we pit man versus the machine in highly publicized feats of strength where AI bests man in his greatest games of chess, go, and Jeopardy.
