  • 1.77 Crore Mobile Connections Disconnected, 45 Lakh Spoofed Calls Blocked: Center |

    New Delhi: The Center on Friday informed that 1.77 crore mobile connections have been disconnected so far which used fake or forged documents, by using artificial intelligence (AI)-based tools. Moreover, four telecom service providers (TSPs) have successfully implemented an advanced system in collaboration with Department of Telecommunications (DoT), blocking 45 lakh spoofed international calls so far from entering the Indian telecom network.

    “The next phase, involving a centralized system that will eliminate the remaining spoofed calls across all TSPs, is expected to be commissioned shortly,” said the Ministry of Communications. DoT has introduced an advanced system designed to identify and block incoming international spoofed calls before they can reach Indian telecom subscribers.

    This system is being deployed in two phases — first at the TSP level to prevent calls spoofed with phone numbers of their own subscribers, and second, at a central level, to stop calls spoofed with the numbers of subscribers from other TSPs. As part of the action on 1.77 crore mobile connections, the Center disconnected 33.48 lakh mobile connections and blocked 49,930 mobile handsets used by cyber criminals in cyber-crime hotspots/districts of the country.

    About 77.61 lakh mobile connections exceeded the prescribed limits for an individual have been disconnected and 2.29 lakh mobile phones involved in cyber-crime or fraudulent activities have been blocked. About 12.02 lakh out of 21.03 lakh reported stolen/lost mobile phones have been traced, and DoT and TSPs disconnected about 20,000 entities, 32,000 SMS headers and 2 lakh SMS templates involved in sending malicious SMSs.

    “About 11 lakhs accounts have been frozen by the banks and payments wallets which were linked to disconnected mobile connections taken on fake/forged documents,” informed the ministry. Nearly 11 lakhs WhatsApp profiles/accounts have been disengaged by WhatsApp which were linked to disconnected mobile connections taken on fake or forged documents.

    The DoT informed that 71,000 Point of Sale (SIM Agents) have been blacklisted so far and 365 FIRs have been registered in multiple states and UTs.

    New Delhi: OpenAI’s chief technology officer (CTO) Mira Murati has announced that she’s leaving artificial intelligence company. Mira had served a few days as its interim CEO during a period of turmoil last year.

    In a post that she shared on X, Mira Murati wrote that after much reflection she has “made the difficult decision to leave OpenAI”.

    “I’m stepping away because I want to create the time and space to do my own exploration,” she said.

    Hours after Mira’s post, Altman shared another note stating that two other top level executives have decided to depart OpenAI.

    “I also want to share that Bob and Barret have decided to depart OpenAI. Mira, Bob, and Barret made these decisions independently of each other and amicably, but the timing of Mira’s decision was such that it made sense to now do this all at once, so that we can work together for a smooth handover to the next generation of leadership,” wrote Altman.

    i just posted this note to openai:

    Hi All–

    Mira has been instrumental to OpenAI’s progress and growth the last 6.5 years; she has been a hugely significant factor in our development from an unknown research lab to an important company.

    When Mira informed me this morning that…

    He also praised Mira for being instrumental to OpenAI’s progress and growth in “the last 6.5 years; she has been a hugely significant factor in our development from an unknown research lab to an important company.”

    Murati was made the company’s interim CEO late last year after the board of directors fired CEO Sam Altman, that sent shock waves in the AI industry. The company later brought in another interim CEO before restoring Altman to his leadership role, also replacing majority of the board members that ousted him.

  • ‘AI Will Be Of More Value To Us Than We Imagined’: Anand Mahindra |

    New Delhi: Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra has said “Artificial intelligence (AI) will be of more value to us than we imagined”. He said this citing a research that showed AI can detect breast cancer five years before it develops.

    “If this is accurate, then AI is going to be of significantly more value to us than we imagined and much earlier than we had imagined…,” said Anand Mahindra in a post on X.com.

    Several studies show the potential of AI in the early detection of cancers. Advanced technology is also paving the way for the development of new drugs to predict the treatment outcome and prognosis.

    Recently, a team of researchers from Duke University in the US developed a new, interpretable artificial intelligence (AI) model to predict 5-year breast cancer risk from mammograms. Another study, published in the journal Radiology, showed AI algorithms outperformed the standard clinical risk model for predicting the five-year risk for breast cancer.

    Biopsy, histological examinations under microscopes, and imaging tests such as MRI, CT, and PET scans are traditional approaches to diagnosing cancer. While the interpretation of these tests is likely to vary among professionals, AI systems, especially those using deep learning techniques, can analyze medical images with staggering accuracy.

    It can also detect minute anomalies often missed by the human eye, reducing false negatives. It can also aid in early detection which can boost treatment outcomes. It can also boost the growth of personalized medicine.

    Vineet Nakra, a radiation oncologist at Max Super Specialty Hospital, told IANS that AI is helping pathologists diagnose cancer much faster and paving the way for doctors to make personalized and patient-centric cancer care.

  • Why Apple To Delay Three New AI-Powered Features In Europe? Details Here |

    New Delhi: The Cupertino-tech giant Apple is set to delay the three new artificial intelligence features in Europe because of the landmark European Union tech rules which require Apple to ensure that its devices are compatible with rival products and services, as per the US tech group reports.

    Earlier this month, the tech giant Apple highlighted its commitment to AI by introducing a range of new features and software enhancements for its iPhone and other devices, aiming to boost declining sales.

    Apple announced that its AI feature ‘Apple Intelligence’ will come to the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max, along with all the iPad, Mac, iMac and MacBook variants that are powered by the M-series chipsets. Apple Intelligence is a term given to a suite of features that Apple incorporates into its devices.

    This AI feature can generate text, images and other content on demand. Apple Intelligence will introduce a system-wide suite of features designed to potentially replace individual generative AI applications like ChatGPT or Copilot. Hence, this AI feature will offer comprehensive generative AI capabilities across supported products.

    The company said in an email which states that “specifically, we are concerned that the interoperability requirements of the DMA could force us to compromise the integrity of our products in ways that risk user privacy and data security”.

    The company further mentioned that “we are committed to collaborating with the European Commission in an attempt to find a solution that would enable us to deliver these features to our EU customers without compromising their safety.”

    Moreover, Apple Intelligence will power a multitude of features across iOS 18, iPadOS 18, and macOS Sequoia. These include enhanced Siri capabilities, integrated writing tools, intelligent email categorization, notification prioritization, and much more.
