4. It is a part of the World Economic Forum’s Fostering Effective Energy Transition initiative and based on its predecessor, the Energy Architecture Performance Index.

Findings

1. 94 countries have improved their ETI score since 2015, representing 70% of the global population.

2. 20% of the global population uses as much energy as the remaining 80%.

3. 70% of young people consider the speed of energy transition to be either stagnant or too slow.

4. The index has been topped by Sweden. It is followed by Switzerland, Finland, Denmark, Norway, respectively.

5. India has moved up two positions to rank 74th from 76th in the last edition.

7. COVID-19 could threaten the rate at which economies adopt more sustainable power.

8. Robust long-term policies are needed to guard against shocks such as the pandemic and climate change.

Effective energy transition

1. The effective energy transition is timely, inclusive, sustainable, affordable, and secure.

2. It provides solutions to global energy-related challenges while creating value for business and society, without compromising the balance of the energy triangle.

     3. An effective energy transition needs to balance the priorities of diverse stakeholder groups.

Effects of COVID19

1. The transformation of the energy system over the past decade has been significant.

2. But it is being impacted by the COVID‑19 pandemic that continues to cause economic and social damage.

3. COVID-19 has resulted in cascading effects in real-time

a) The erosion of almost a third of global energy demand

b) Unprecedented oil price volatilities and subsequent geopolitical implications

c) Delayed or stalled investments and projects

d) Uncertainties over the employment prospects of millions of energy‑sector workers

Apple is testing a ChatGPT-like AI chatbot

  According to a recent report by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is making significant strides in the development of artificial intelligence tools to rival the likes of OpenAI and Google. Internally referred to as "Apple GPT," the tech giant has created a chatbot using its proprietary framework called "Ajax." This framework, built on Google Cloud with Google JAX, enables the creation of large language models similar to ChatGPT and Google's Bard. While Apple is yet to finalize its strategy for consumer release, it is reportedly planning a major AI-related announcement next year. The chatbot's internal rollout faced delays due to security concerns related to generative AI. However, it has been made available to a growing number of Apple employees with special approval, primarily for product prototyping purposes. Apple's chatbot can summarize text and answer questions based on its training data. Although it shares similarities with commercially availabl...

What is prompt engineering?

  Prompt engineering refers to the process of designing or crafting effective and specific prompts to interact with AI language models. It involves formulating queries, instructions, or input text that can elicit desired responses or outputs from the AI model. The goal of prompt engineering is to guide the model's behavior and generate more accurate and relevant results. Prompt engineering is especially important in the context of AI language models like GPT-3 (Generative Pre-trained Transformer 3) and similar models. These models are incredibly powerful but also very large and complex. Without well-crafted prompts, they may produce responses that are nonsensical, biased, or otherwise undesirable. The process of prompt engineering involves several key steps: Understanding the Model: Familiarize yourself with the capabilities and limitations of the AI language model you are working with. Understand the types of questions or inputs it can handle effectively. Defining the Task: Clea...
