I could tell you about the human brain, neural networks, cyber impersonations of neural cells, and a whole lot more. But it will benefit you and me to explain to you what we are doing, and what we can do, in layman's terms. The internet is basically divided into three categories.
The first is the surface net. This consists of websites and newspapers. The second is the deep net. This consists of email accounts, medical records, utility bills, and so on. It also has social media and all the public research conducted by every university worldwide, among other aspects. More details I cannot give due to my own business secrecy.
The third is the dark web, which has quite a bit of illegal stuff going on, but don’t write it off – Bitcoin emerged from here. Normally, search engines like Google only trawl the surface net for information. AI, to some degree, uses artificial intelligence gathering and information on the surface and deep net to give you results, generative and other responses.
As a businessman/profession, you know there are many aspects to your profession. Increasing/stagnant/decreasing markets and your share in them, new emerging technologies, cost of borrowing, cost of purchases, cost of sales, macro political/economic conditions, emotional investments, legacy requirements, future stock predictions, and so many more. If you were to analyze all these and come up with a definitive business plan for the future of your business, you can’t. You sometimes rely on business professionals who haven’t been in business themselves to advise you. So, what you do, and what most seasoned and successful businessmen do, is rely on your “gut” feeling. We are not saying you stop using those tactics.
Please do. You have been successful because of them. What we are saying is that we can build an AI model for your business interests that takes into account all these factors, and using all the information available, including business, media, and technical reports, AI can give you its own second opinion. Setting up such a system will not cost much (we will use AI to do it for us – after all, it is intelligent). The best part is that we can program it to give you daily assessments (or hourly, if you wish) for free. Once I have finished programming the computer, it won’t cost me anything regarding the frequency of making an update for you. Investments can be very, very tricky. Let me give you two examples:
We did an independent analysis for Tata Sons, a holding company of the Tata group, having a reported 174 subsidiaries all over the world with their holding in them valued at US$ 104 billion and group turnover of about US$ 500 billion. They also own Jaguar Land Rover in the UK, among other companies worldwide. They initially made money from 1817-1860 during the 1st and 2nd Opium Wars with the opium trade from India to China, after which it was banned. As per land revenue records in 1860 alone, their profit after tax was Rs.3.5 million. At that time, the Indian rupee was the dominant currency worldwide. That is profit for one year. We made a computer model of estimated profit from 1817-1860. AI systems then tracked various investment options available to them at that time. From deposits, gold, real estate, and industry, among others.
The AI systems threw up an interesting answer. If the Tatas had bought gold with that money and thrown it away in a vault in Switzerland, they would have been worth over US$ 400 billion today, tax-free, without generations of sweat and toil. On analyzing their business, we found that 10 companies contributed 95% of their profit and the rest were not worth keeping and should be divested off as and when the stock market was favourable. So for them, the Opium trade was a great business. TCS (Tata Consultancy Service) is a great business – but Tata Chemicals, making Soda Ash in this day and age, does not make sense to the AI models. Can AI models predict the future like the past? We don’t know. But we can try.
Let me give you another example. 399 years ago, Manhattan Island was sold by the Natives to the Europeans for what is today's British pound 24. In 2014, the value of all property in Manhattan was valued at US$ 1.4 trillion. So they got suckered. Right? Wrong. The Natives did not invest those 24 pounds wisely.
If they had deposited that 24 pounds with a bank at 7% interest compounded quarterly (interest for the last 388 years since 2014 has varied from 8-10% compounded), it would have been worth British Pounds 11.847 trillion or US$ 13.2 trillion—ten times the value of the island. However, if they had bought gold, which was US$ 20-30 per ounce at that time, they would have gotten approximately 1 ounce for it, which would have been valued at approximately US$ 3000 only.
So what can we do that the bright boys from Harvard, Kellogs, and Stanford can’t do for you? First, we can make programs that will access diverse fields that affect your business, making a comprehensive AI program for your business. While the history will not change, these programs will keep giving you opinions whenever there is any change in the inputs of your business – this will be costly and time-consuming for you to do. The generative programs will do this in seconds and will do it as frequently as you wish at no extra cost. If you don’t like how one aspect of a program is affecting the reality, we can amend it in hours.
If you want to use my services, please get in touch with me. Take the time to tell me about your business, your concerns, and your aspirations for you, your company, and your legacy. Whether it is market intelligence, the scope of a new venture in Africa, or whatever is on your mind—as long as it is related to business—we will let you know if we can help you and to what extent and how accurately.
My grandfather used to say,” it seems that the business is growing 100% overnight every day, but if you look at it yearly – its only 50%, and if you look at it on a 10-year basis, you are lucky to get a 10% compounded return on your capital. We are trying to bring age-old, unalterable business wisdom to be used by AI.
If you are wondering how we charge, please don’t worry. It is on an assignment-by-assignment basis, based on merit and the value we have provided to you.
