From Coders to CEOs: OpenAI's Srinivas Narayanan on how AI is redefining engineering
He explained, 'AI systems are moving far beyond simply answering questions.' As machines increasingly handle the 'how,' engineers will need to define the 'what' and the 'why', the kind of big-picture thinking that's long been the realm of company founders and C-suite leaders.'Of course, software is interesting and exciting,' he added, 'but just the ability to think bigger is going to be incredibly empowering for people, and the people who succeed (in the future) are the ones who are going to be able to think bigger.'Narayanan, who has led the development of some of OpenAI's most advanced systems, including Codex, a cloud-based engineering agent capable of completing complex programming tasks autonomously, argued that AI enables smaller teams to achieve outsized impact.'An organisation should be able to do things a lot more with the people that we have. I hope that this just elevates the potential for all of us as individuals and organisations to accomplish more than what we have,' he said.AI revolution in researchHis message wasn't limited to the world of software. Narayanan also highlighted how AI is revolutionising research, sharing examples of models that can reason through difficult scientific problems and even assist in medical discoveries. One compelling example involved AI helping to diagnose rare genetic disorders, an area where speed and accuracy can be life-changing.advertisementDespite the transformative power of these tools, Narayanan acknowledged the need for careful development. He spoke about OpenAI's approach to safety, noting the importance of guardrails in preventing misuse and reducing misinformation. 'We don't get everything perfect on the first try, but we learn and iterate rapidly,' he added.- Ends

Indian banks must brace for interest rate whiplash: BCG
MUMBAI: A report by Boston Consulting Group warns that Indian banks must prepare for a period of heightened interest rate volatility after more than a decade of relatively stable and downward-trending rates. The study notes that the impact of policy rate changes on bank performance is neither immediate nor uniform, and that credit growth is more dependent on borrower sentiment and lender confidence than on rates alone. BCG's report urges banks to abandon linear forecasting and adopt scenario-based planning. Stay informed with the latest business news, updates on bank holidays and public holidays .
