India’s big-ticket push for global prominence in artificial intelligence begins on 16 February. The AI Impact Summit has driven hotel prices higher across New Delhi, and attendance rates for global heads of state match those seen when India hosted the G20 summit in 2023. Why is there such hype around a technology event, and what…
In the early interviews, the candidate sailed through the basic, definition-based questions. But as the screening levels got more complex, cracks began to appear. The candidate panicked when the interviewers asked him to walk through decisions in a live scenario. He also showed a lack of basic knowledge in systems he claimed to have built….
After initially pushing for DeepSeek-like large language models (LLMs) last year, the Center has recalibrated its stance. The emphasis now is on building smaller AI models tailored for enterprise use cases. Startups, too, say it is “too early” to unveil sweeping LLMs capable of competing with US and Chinese counterparts. The AI Impact Summit, scheduled…
Elon Musk described the development as the “very early stages of the singularity.” The Reddit-style platform—hosted on GitHub—claims more than 2.6 million registered AI agents, generating over 1 million posts and 12 million comments. Critics caution that meaningful engagement appears far lower than headline numbers suggest, and that human prompting and intervention remain widespread. Even…
MUMBAI: As generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) reshapes India’s $350-billion information technology sector, projected to reach that size by the end of the year, concerns about large-scale job losses have intensified. A study by economic think tank Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICIER) found that a majority of Indian IT sector workers worried…
“An investment in knowledge pays the best interest,” said Benjamin Franklin. But he didn’t have to contend with artificial intelligence. There are many aspects of the recent selloff that are concerning, with anything tangentially threatened by AI getting hit hard. Perhaps the most worrisome, however, is the fact that virtually no knowledge-based company appears to…
The AI capability we unlocked today is based on a tool—PaperBanana. What problem does it solve? Academic researchers spend countless hours manually creating methodology diagrams, system architectures, and statistical charts for their papers. Even as AI tools help write text faster, figure creation remains a tedious bottleneck—choosing the right visual style, ensuring technical accuracy, and…
On 12 February, deeptech robotics company Cyn:Lr launched its Object Intelligence platform, which allows its robots to pick up, manipulate and work with objects without previously being trained on data. The startup said its robotic arms are already being used in places and tasks where traditional automation has proven difficult, requiring manual labor. How significant…
Students preparing for the highly competitive JEE exams for entry into top engineering institutions like the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) can now access practice tests directly on the Gemini platform for free as part of that pilot. The move targets a lucrative layer of India’s coaching economy: mock test series. While classroom programs drive…
About the author: Mike Harris is the founder of Cribstone Strategic Macro and director of the Syracuse University Whitman School of Management London Program. Markets are hugely enthusiastic about what coming AI-driven growth and President Donald Trump’s pick for the next Federal Reserve chair, Kevin Warsh, might mean for the economy. But their read on…
