Last year, OpenAI announced Codex, a model for efficient programming with the aid of Artificial Intelligence (AI). One of the videos uploaded to the OpenAI YouTube channel showed a live demo that was hard to believe even when seen with one's own eyes. With just a few lines of commands, it was possible to create a whole game in JavaScript. The level of the commands seemed somewhat high, but with Codex you can see that it is immediately able to implement the code and run the game. In this way, Codex is a model that helps people write code much more efficiently than they could on their own.

The year 2019 continued to take forward the trends in the world of Information Technology with increased usage of Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT) and Machine Learning. But controversies also cropped up on the use of social media, impacting the industry and common man. The common man has started feeling the need to regulate the sector to ensure harmonious and progressive growth. It was in 2019 that people started thinking on these lines, especially after WhatsApp started spying on Indian journalists and human rights activists earlier this year. The Facebook-owned company also accepted that Indian journalists and human rights activists were among those globally that were spied on by unidentified entities using Pegasus, an Israeli spyware.
