  • Advisory To Launch AI Models With Permission Doesn’t Apply To Startups: Centre |

    New Delhi: The Centre stated on Monday that permission to launch new artificial intelligence (AI) models in the country will only apply to big tech platforms and social media subsidiaries, not startups.

    In a post on X, Union Minister of State for Electronics and IT, Rajeev Chandrasekhar, said that the latest IT Ministry advisory is aimed at significant platforms, and “permission-seeking from Meity is only for large platforms and will not apply to startups.”

    “The advisory is aimed at untested AI platforms from deploying on the Indian Internet,” he posted. The minister further added that the process of seeking permission, labeling, and consent-based disclosure to users about untested platforms is “an insurance policy for platforms that can otherwise be sued by consumers.” “Safety and trust in India’s Internet are shared and common goals for the government, users, and platforms.”

    The digital platforms have been instructed to comply with the new guidelines immediately and submit an action taken-cum-status report to the Ministry within 15 days of this advisory.

    The digital platforms have been instructed to comply with the new guidelines immediately and submit an action taken-cum-status report to the Ministry within 15 days of this advisory.

    The Centre last week came down hard on big internet and social media platforms for the misuse of AI, stating that all intermediaries must not permit any bias or discrimination or threaten the integrity of the electoral process and must seek the government’s permission before launching any AI model in the country.

    The digital platforms have been instructed to comply with the new guidelines immediately and submit an action taken-cum-status report to the Ministry within 15 days of this advisory.

    “In light of the recent Google Gemini AI controversy, the advisory now specifically addresses AI. Digital platforms must take full accountability and cannot escape by claiming that these AI models are in the under-testing phase,” said the minister.

    According to the new guidelines, all intermediaries or platforms must ensure that the use of AI models/LLM/Generative AI, software, or algorithms “does not permit its users to host, display, upload, modify, publish, transmit, store, update, or share any unlawful content as outlined in Rule 3(1)(b) of the IT Rules or violate any other provision of the IT Act.” (Also read: Google Terminates Contracts With YouTube Music Team Members Demanding Higher Pay)

    “It is reiterated that non-compliance with the provisions of the IT Act and/or IT Rules could result in potential penal consequences for the intermediaries or platforms or their users when identified, including but not limited to prosecution under the IT Act and several other statutes of the criminal code,” said the IT Ministry advisory.

  • China's 'Two Sessions' Begin Amid Economic Challenges And Political Shifts, Here's What To Expect | world news

    BEIJING: China's prestigious “Two Sessions” commences in Beijing on Monday where thousands of delegates from across the country will signal how they plan to steer the world's second-largest economy in the year ahead and try to dispel deepening concern about the challenges it faces. Chinese leader Xi Jinping and his top Communist Party officials are expected to focus on projecting confidence during the “two sessions,” a highly choreographed event where China's rubber-stamp legislature and top advisory body convene.

    The largely ceremonial political gathering is taking on heightened importance this year as China's economy has been roiled by a property sector crisis, hefty local government debt, deflation, a stock market rout and tech friction with the US — all fueling questions about whether the country will lose steam before it reaches its goal of becoming a developed global power.

    Economic Focus And Premier's Projections

    Xi faces scrutiny amid economic difficulties and rising skepticism. The past year saw him embark on an unprecedented third term, marked by economic struggles, job uncertainties, market losses, and small business challenges. Premier Li Qiang's report will unveil a 5% economic growth target for 2024 and address pressing issues from declining birth rates to tech regulation.

    Global Impact And Political Implications

    China's economic troubles reverberate globally, especially in a year where the US presidential election may strain Sino-American relations further. Leaders aim to showcase the government's ability to handle economic issues and provide confidence in China's economic trajectory.

    The “Two Sessions” serve as a platform for the government to announce strategies and key indicators, including economic growth targets and military spending. However, the space for open exchanges has diminished as Xi tightened control, raising questions about the direction of China's economic and social policies.

    Economic Debate Restrictions And Leadership Challenges

    Recent controls on economic debates, including social media restrictions on analysts, highlight the government's efforts to control narratives. Xi's political shakeup and challenges faced by the new administration raise questions about the future direction of China and its impact on the global economy.

    Crucial Topics And Global Relations

    The sessions will shed light on China's stance on Taiwan, relations with the US, and efforts to bolster innovation amid tech export controls. Observers anticipate a possible shift in tone towards a more conciliatory stance, temporarily easing the confrontational 'wolf warrior diplomacy.'

    Leadership Appointments And Foreign Minister's Role

    The unexpected removal of officials, including the foreign minister and defense minister, adds an element of uncertainty. A new foreign minister's appointment and potential high-ranking cabinet posts fillings will be closely monitored, as they signal shifts in China's leadership and foreign policy.

    NPC Dynamics: Ousting And Appointments

    The NPC's Standing Committee witnessed the removal of 11 members, including key figures linked to China's military apparatus. The departures, particularly of Foreign Minister Qin Gang and Defense Minister Li Shangfu, prompt questions about military dynamics and leadership judgment.

    Deciphering NPC And CPPCC Roles

    Although technically independent from the CCP, both the NPC and CPPCC are significantly influenced by it. While the NPC is China's primary legislative body, the CPPCC operates as a political advisory entity, fostering collaboration and extending CCP influence.

    NPC's Significance Beyond Formality

    Despite being colloquially labeled a “rubber stamp,” the NPC holds importance beyond formality. Limited public input and occasional displays of dissent showcase its role in representing citizen interests on less sensitive issues.

    Influence of Non-Party Actors And Global Market Skepticism

    China's political landscape accommodates diverse interest groups, including advocates for women's rights and environmentalists. Their influence, however, remains constrained by the CCP's dominance. Market skepticism prevails as observers await the impact of confidence projections and measures announced during the “Two Sessions.”

    Telangana’s Future Unaffected By Change In Leadership

  • IPL 2024: Pat Cummins, who made Australia world champion, becomes the new captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Daniel Vettori will be the new head coach, Dale Steyn also removed.

    IPL 2024 SRH Captain: The new season of the Indian Premier League (IPL) is going to start from March 22. But before that, major changes are being made by IPL franchises in their teams. Meanwhile, big news has come out from the camp of Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). In fact, 2016 champion team Sunrisers Hyderabad has handed over the command of the team to captain Pat Cummins, who made Australia the world champion last year and has removed Aiden Markram, who took command last season, from the captaincy. Apart from this, SRH has also changed its head coach and bowling coach.

    The most surprising thing about the decision to hand over the command of SRH to Cummins is that Cummins is not the captain of Australia's T20 team. There is a possibility that the Australian team will play the T20 World Cup this year under the leadership of new captain Mitchell Marsh. Because Cummins is currently playing under the captaincy of Marsh in the ongoing T20 series against New Zealand. Whereas Markram has been consistently performing well for the franchise. SRH has handed over the command of its team Eastern Cape to Markram in the South African T20 League. Sunrisers Eastern Cape had performed brilliantly in the last two seasons and won titles. Despite this, Markram was removed from the captaincy.

    Cummins had withdrawn his name from IPL 2023

    It is noteworthy that Cummins did not play in IPL 2023 held last year. He had withdrawn his name from the league to concentrate on international cricket. Before that, he was a part of the Kolkata team from 2020 to 2022.

    Cummins will be the third captain of SRH in the last three seasons.

    Let us tell you that Cummins is the third captain of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the last three seasons. In 2022, the team finished eighth under the captaincy of Kane Williamson. He was released before the 2023 season. Last season, Markram took the command and now Cummins will be seen doing it.

    SRH bought Cummins for 20.50 crores

    Let us tell you that in the mini auction in December 2023, Sunrisers had bought Pat Cummins for a record price of Rs 20.50 crore. He became the second most expensive player in IPL history.

    Daniel Vettori will be the new head coach of SRH

    Apart from the captain, Sunrisers Hyderabad has also changed the head coach. In place of Brian Lara, former New Zealand spinner Daniel Vettori will now take over the responsibility of head coach of the team.

    Dale Steyn's leave

    Apart from the change in captain and head coach, SRH has also changed its bowling coach. Now former Kiwi all-rounder James Franklin will be the new bowling coach of Sunrisers. Franklin will replace Dale Steyn of South Africa. Let us tell you that Steyn was made the bowling coach of Hyderabad in 2022. But this year he will not be able to be a part of IPL due to personal reasons.

    Sunrisers will play the first match against Kolkata

    Let us tell you that the Sunrisers team will start its IPL 2024 against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens. This match will be played on 23 March. After this the team will play a match against Mumbai Indians in Hyderabad on 27th March.

  • Zee News Impact: Greater Noida’s Blue Sapphire Mall To Remain Closed Until Probe Concludes |

    In a significant development, the Blue Sapphire Mall in Greater Noida has been ordered to close down. The Gautam Buddha Nagar Police Commissioner, Lakshmi Singh, has issued directives regarding the order. This decision comes in the wake of a news report by Zee News that prompted authorities to take immediate action. 

    Commissioner Singh stated that until a thorough investigation is conducted, the mall will remain closed. The investigation will cover all aspects related to security. The Commissioner added that the safety of the public is of paramount importance, and the closure will persist until the inquiry is complete. The Zee News reported earlier on the negligence of the authorities, as the mall was fully functional without any change in safety protocols after the incident. On asking the visitors, no one was aware of the mishap that cost the lives of two individuals. 

    In a devastating occurrence at Greater Noida’s Galaxy Blue Sapphire Mall on Sunday, two individuals lost their lives when an iron grill, dislodged from the fifth floor of the Plaza, fell and crushed them. The victims, identified as Harendra and Shakeel, from Vijay Nagar in Ghaziabad, succumbed to the incident on the spot. The police have dispatched the bodies for postmortem examinations, and the mall has been cleared. The tragic incident unfolded as the two were approaching the escalator to ascend to the first floor of the mall.

  • 'List of Congress candidates will come soon': Deepak Baij left for Delhi to attend the screening committee meeting, said regarding the names – the names will almost be decided in the meeting.

    Nitin Namdev, Raipur. State Congress Committee President Deepak Baij has left for Delhi to attend the Congress Screening Committee meeting. Earlier, while discussing with the media, he told that there is a meeting of the screening committee in Delhi. In this meeting the names of candidates from 11 Lok Sabha will be discussed. Also, strategy for the upcoming Lok Sabha elections will be prepared.

    Regarding the announcement of names, Baij said that we are also waiting. The meeting will be held as soon as possible. After the meeting, our names will be ready and the list will come. Regarding the United Front meeting, Deepak Baij said that the Bharatiya Janata Party is doing its work. We are doing our work. But it is simple, in view of the upcoming Lok Sabha, BJP is completely scared of the way anti-incumbency is going on in the country against Bharatiya Janata Party. The way the three-month government has created the atmosphere in Chhattisgarh, the state has become a den of crime. The work of cheating the farmers, the work of cheating the mothers and sisters, the work of cheating the youth is being done. Congress will benefit from this somewhere.

    Chhattisgarh Bharatiya Janata Party sometimes does politics in the name of God. Sometimes she does politics in the name of mother cow. The Congress government worked for the real Lord Ram and for Mother Cow. Cow trafficking and cow slaughter is happening in Chhattisgarh, which is worrying. Bharatiya Janata Party is not paying any attention to this. They should work on this issue.
