Since the last few weeks, most business and life globally have been disrupted by the Corona Pandemic. It is a Healthcare & Economic nightmare like no previous one. The possible impact, scale, speed with which it has spread globally and also the response by governments, healthcare systems and communities have responded is unprecedented. 
There is a lot of bad news from all over the world especially China where it started and much of Europe and the Americas which it has spread out. I wrote about the role of Network Effects in my previous blog https://www.networkquotient.org/2020/03/corona-virus-has-high-nq-covid19-corona.html. In this blog elaborate on the vital role that AI & ML has played and can play in managing or containing this pandemic.
Over the last many years the technology world has been projecting, speculating & debating about AI & Machine Learning and the role of Humans and Ethics in AI & ML in a wold where Robots are likely to reach and exceed human intell…

Our family or Friends or Colleagues are part of our network. It can be social networks (Facebook is the most popular platform) or professional networks ( Linkedin is the most popular platform). 

Networking is very often used as a term where you meet new people and try to find common grounds, interests, passions or mutually benefits. It is very popular in business circles, especially among entrepreneurs. Many of the alumni from Business Schools schoools or Management Schools schools especially in US are taught to socialize with their alumni especially with prospective employers. The same is true for entrepreneurs where you are expected to socialize or network with possible investors or clients. This is also very popular in the social world where young people are expected to socialize with prospective mates and there is a whole industry for dating. 

For me, networks are mostly about relationships. It starts before you take birth when two people meet and accelerate after you take birth. We…

Covid19 (Corona Pandemic) & needs a High NQ response

We hypothesized & shared many years back that the role of NQ is critical to all beings. Both living and non-living in creation, survival, sustenance, growth, and containment. In recent weeks one topic has captured the attention of all humans across the globe and that is Corona Virus ( Covid19). It is scary because it is a Virus ( goes Viral fast). Both the disease as well as the information about it has become viral. Right from the UN & WHO to all the governments in the world as well as Corporations, NGOs are marshaling their resources to contain this pandemic. 
Communication Networks have advanced a lot and in the age of the Internet and tools like WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Google, YouTubeLinkedIn, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, TV, Radio both good or correct news as well as bad or incorrect news spreads vast and that is what we call them. Often Things go VIRAL and Corona is a Virus so it is expected to go Viral.

Role of Networks in Entrepreneurship. I am obsessed with the power of Entrepreneurship & Networks to influence & change the world for better. When I coined this term/concept NQmore than 10 years back during a conversation with Mayank Krishna, he suggested that we should write a book on NQ. We had planned to publish a book, make videos, give talks in conferences and interview people & organizations with high NQ. Later Mayank lost interest or priorities changed after he got married, had a baby.  I also couldn't pursue it very seriously too. However, made some progress in incubating & curating many Entrepreneurs & Alumni Networks via LinkedIn, Facebook, Google, Telegram, WhatsApp

Over the last decade, the world has changed dramatically (exponentially). which is best explained by Ray Kurzweil in his book Singularity is Near.

I had planned to interview many people & organizations as case studies in my book, blogs & vBlogs but then life happened. A lot of detou…
