Australia’s leading RTO (BSI Learning ) is looking to Partner With Indian Universities



What can Australia learn from UK universities?

The Economist points out that Indian students are reviving UK universities


Last year more than 6,000 students, or about one-quarter of the total of University of East London hailed from India. 


The vice-chancellor, Amanda Broderick, says that uel has a global feel. 

It is booming. 

Total enrolment at the campuses has jumped by more than 60% since 2017.


Between 2017 and 2021 Britain saw a sixfold rise in Indians starting new courses. 


Visa data suggest that India had displaced China as the number-one sender of foreign students to Britain. 


What explains the rise? 

A change in visa rules, in 2019. (Australia take note!!!)


 Officials restored a scheme that lets foreigners stay, and work, for two years after they graduate. 


Students use those years to find employers to sponsor longer-term visas, or try to earn enough to pay down debts - 


The win win win is that these students are Helping the economy with the  labour shortage !!!


There is a boon for university finances. Foreigners pay higher fees than locals and now provide around one-fifth of university income.  In subjects such as business and management, postgraduates from overseas outnumber Britons by about ten to one. 


The Australian Opportunity!

The opportunity for students  to study in India - with BSI Learning  - in partnership with Indian Universities - with a view to get an Australian Diploma and a pathway to  Australian  Universities - is a game changer says Kala Philip - CEO of BSI Learning  .

Is AI a danger or a solution or both




Is #ai  inevitable - unstoppable - how do you engage it?

Are we  the frog in a frying pan ?  We are evolving into  cyborgs   - and we can’t see it ? 

Is it a danger?

Are machines slaves to you or are you a slave to the machine!

Steven Bartlett Speaks to Mo Gawdat in an amazing podcast that explains #ai - the dangers and opportunities….

Is this just part of the evolution?

This is why NVIDIA is now worth $1trillion and the growth has just begun!




In 5 years animation has improved more than 1000 times using #ai 


 how has this been done ? 


So what is the breakthrough of chatgpt? 


💥it’s the capability to learn the structure of anything - and with with prompts we can guide - #ai to understands and uses language and transform  it to another structure #ai 


💥Input Text  - analyse language - pictures 


💥Generative ai - with prompts - information transferred to other information dna, proteins 


💥Why is it so powerful - what’s the 10x factor?


💥It’s so Easy to use -  Chat GPT or generative AI will revolutionise how we connect communicate and collaborate 





NVIDIA is now working with 1600 startups - it’s taking computing to another level ! What happens when computer power is 1000 times faster using quantum computing? 


Current video and communication is antequated 


Communicate - deconstruct - reconstruct 


😎The future of video 


The NVIDIA chip will be a universal translator - 


Communicated - perceived - reconstructed - regenerated and received 


Pictures will be perceived vs received . What you send is not yours but a hybrid . 


❓What is real? 


This is the result 


The ability to transform Text to  animation 


The next phase of ai and life - each person will have a “digital twin” - a servant that will do whatever you want it to do - a robot that will understand your words - and do whatever you want - a system that understands the law of physics ? 


Using human feedback and reinforcement learning - it will be able to perceive your wants and needs - to analyse your moods and understand your desires !


💥Production and throughput of factories 




Every factory will have a digital factory . It will be created before a factory is built -and then transform that twin into reality . 


Questions ❓❓❓❓❓


How will this affect 

❓Your current reality ?

❓ The way you live ?

❓ The way you feel? 

❓The way you behave ? 

❓Your environment around you? 


❓The metaverse? 


❓Does climate change go away? 


❓Do our “beings” get transformed into another “body” 


 think “Dr Spock and Star Trek”  think “avatar” becoming a reality using generative AI . Do “human beings” get transformed into “digital beings” - are we the same being ? 


❓Are we just at the beginning of another revolution ?


❓Will life in 2043 be completely different to what life is today? 


❓Will our “digital twin” become a “digital being” and make the “human being “ redundant?


? Does gender and racial bias go away - you can be whoever you want to be ?

Nvidia - designing semiconductors for AI servers -hits $1 trillion Valuation!




Nvidia became the first chipmaker to hit a valuation of $1trn. Shares rose more than 4% on Tuesday after the company’s chief executive announced the creation of a new AI-supercomputer platform that will help other tech firms build generative AI models. Nvidia, which designs the semiconductors of choice for many AI servers, is one of several chipmakers to cash in on the AI gold rush.

Is AI transforming education for the better ?




AI is  transforming education - for the better !! Says Curt Carlson 


It will likely not eliminate in-class learning but it will be transformative amplifier of learning where every student in the world will have a great teacher in every subject.  


There are so many ways ai will be able to engage people. 


  Think online kid games.  


There is a proliferation of  endless online programs leveraging IT and ZOOM that is being turbo charged with AI .


Education institutions that will survive and thrive will need to embrace online, zoom and AI tools - as part of a hybrid lifelong education system. 


This helps learners become immersed in a lifelong learning process.


 The material and relevant courses need to be 

  • online - where people can learn at their own pace - creating scale 
  • hybrid online when interaction is required, and 
  • in class as demanded by the material. This enables the social advantages of being on campus, as required. The #bbgforum which are held both face to face and virtually on zoom - are great ways to enable students to connect, collaborate, contribute, learn and grow 


As technology and ai continues to change the way we do things , Lifelong learning will be  essential to  keep up with the exponential economy.

16 ways in which AI will effect Education 


Curt Carlson



Dr Curtis Raymond Carlson (born May 22, 1945) was president and CEO of SRI International from 1998 to 2014 , where revenue tripled to $550 million per year and tens of billions of dollars of new marketplace value was created, such as through Siri, an SRI spin-off company that was bought by Steve Jobs at Apple. 


Curt  is a prominent technologist and pioneer in developing and using innovation best practices.


While Carlson was CEO Mayfield Ventures partner, David Ladd, said, “SRI is now the best enterprise at turning its technology into economic value.”


Curt has advised ministers and prîeministers around the world on innovation best practice as it relates to education and economic development . Being a member of Obamas national advisory council on innovation and entrepreneurship 


He is currently on the scientific advisory boards of Singapore and Taiwan
