Global Airlines and Banks Hit by Major IT Outage Linked to Microsoft 365 and Crowdstrike

A mass IT outage has disrupted major banks, media outlets, and airlines globally. The US state of Alaska reported emergency services affected, and several US airlines, including United, Delta, and American Airlines, have grounded flights worldwide. Australia experienced significant impacts, with broadcast networks struggling and supermarkets crippled. Sky News UK went off air due to the issues. The cause remains unclear, but many affected have linked it to Microsoft PC operating systems. Microsoft acknowledged an issue impacting Microsoft 365 apps and services but stated that most services were recovered hours earlier. Australia's Home Affairs Ministry indicated the outage may be related to a technical issue at cybersecurity firm Crowdstrike. Alaskan officials reported problems with many 911 and non-emergency call centers, while Australian carriers Virgin Australia and Jetstar faced delays and cancellations. Telstra, Australia's telecom firm, confirmed that triple-0 call centers were unaffected and backup processes are being implemented. Social media users reported payment system failures at Australian stores like Woolworths and issues accessing financial institutions like the National Australia Bank. (Source: BBC)

How to use Large Language Models (LLMs) for chatbots:

1. Natural Language Understanding (NLU):
Use LLMs to understand and process user inputs, enabling the chatbot to comprehend various questions and requests accurately.

2. Contextual Conversations:
Implement LLMs to maintain context over multiple interactions, allowing the chatbot to provide coherent and relevant responses even in long conversations.

3. Personalization:
Leverage LLMs to tailor responses based on user preferences and past interactions, enhancing the user experience.

4. Automated Customer Support:
Deploy LLMs for handling common customer inquiries and issues, providing quick and efficient support without human intervention.

5. Content Generation:
Use LLMs to generate content such as product descriptions, emails, and FAQs, saving time and ensuring consistency in communication.

6. Multilingual Support:
Utilize the multilingual capabilities of LLMs to support users in various languages, expanding the reach of your chatbot globally.

7. Sentiment Analysis:
Incorporate sentiment analysis to understand user emotions and adjust responses accordingly, improving user satisfaction.

8. Continuous Learning:
Implement feedback loops where the chatbot learns from each interaction, refining its responses and improving over time.

9. Integration with APIs:
Connect LLMs with external APIs to provide real-time information such as weather updates, stock prices, or personalized recommendations.

10. Compliance and Security:
Ensure the LLM-powered chatbot adheres to data privacy regulations and implements robust security measures to protect user data.

These points highlight how LLMs can enhance the capabilities of chatbots, making them more intelligent, responsive, and user-friendly.

Sri Lanka’s Digital Economy Size.

There has never been a universal technique to calculate the size of the Digital Economy element within an economy. The lack of a generally accepted definition of “Digital Economy” or “Digital Sector” and the absence of product and industry classifications for Internet platforms and related services are obstacles to measuring the digital economy. Still, there have been many workarounds. They all depend on the manner how Digital Economy is defined. In 2016, the G20 Hangzhou summit defined Digital Economy as “a broad range of economic activities that includes using digitized information and knowledge as the key factor of production, modern information networks as an important activity space, and the effective use of information and communication as an importan t driver of productivity growth and economic structural optimization” Just like agriculture and industrial economies use land, labour and capital as the key factors of production, data becomes the key factor of production in Digital Economy (Yubo, 2020) Digitization has infused many activities, and indeed almost the entire economy can be included in a broadly defined 'Digital Economy'. However, at the heart of digitization, it is more realistic to focus measurement efforts on a specific range of economic activity. While the term "Digital Sector" denotes specific limits to economic activity, the term "Digital Economy" is often used to indicate that digitization (for example, the use of the Internet) extends to all sectors of the economy, from agriculture to warehousing. Available evidence suggests that the digital sector in most economies is still less than 10% when measured by valueadded, income, or employment. (IMF, 2018)
