Bengaluru: Google on Thursday launched a new agricultural monitoring and event detection (AMED) application programming interface (API) in India. The company also announced a collaboration with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur to build localised datasets on India’s rich cultural tapestry. It will help in equipping global Large Language Models with better linguistic and cultural context at the local level. The new mechanism will provide information on crops and field activity across India that will eventually empower the ecosystem to build targeted solutions that support agricultural productivity and resilience, the global tech giant said in a statement. The API details the type of crop on individual fields across India, as well as each field’s size and corresponding sowing and harvesting dates. It will also provide historical information of last three years about the agricultural activity in each field. “With AI research — and especially with AMED building on the foundation of ALU — we’re working on accelerating crucial shifts, transforming broad insights to granular, real-time data, so that increasingly impactful solutions not only translate into benefit for India’s farmers, but also bolster the nation against rising climate risks,” said Alok Talekar, agriculture and sustainability research lead, Google DeepMind. “At Google, along with charting new frontiers in foundational AI, which forms the backbone of many of our launches in the Gemini era, we have continued advancing fundamental research that addresses some of the most pressing challenges facing humanity,” said Manish Gupta, Senior Director for India and APAC at Google DeepMind. By adding more localised data — such as various languages, dialects, and cultural quirks that aren’t currently included in AI training — Google’s Amplify Initiative seeks to fill in knowledge gaps in Large Language models. “We’re thrilled to collaborate with Google on the Amplify Initiative and open a new chapter in global AI development,” stated Dr Mainack Mandal, Assistant Professor, IIT Kharagpur.

New Delhi: In what could change the future of affordable satellite-based internet service in India, Elon Musk’s Starlink on Wednesday received approval from the country’s space regulator, the Indian National Space Promotion and Authorisation Centre (IN-SPACe).  With this, the final regulatory hurdle for the cheaper internet service to start rolling its commercial satellite broadband operations in the country has been cleared, according to the IN-SPACe final authorisation document for Starlink seen by IANS. Starlink now needs to acquire spectrum from the government and establish ground infrastructure for its services. The Department of Telecommunications (DoT) is set to grant trial spectrum to the US-based space firm to complete security compliance demonstrations. Starlink has signed its first commercial agreements with VSAT providers in India. VSAT (Very Small Aperture Terminal) service providers offer satellite-based internet and communication solutions, particularly for locations with limited or no terrestrial connectivity. The affordable satellite-based internet service Starlink is now set to roll out in the country in a few months. While the groundwork is nearly complete, some technical and procedural steps remain before the service can be launched in a few months. Union Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia said last week that all due diligence has been completed from their end for the entry of SpaceX’s Starlink service in India, and once they receive the necessary regulatory and licensing approvals from the space regulator, they can roll out the service in the country whenever they wish to. The space regulator had earlier issued a draft letter of intent (LOI) to the company. Starlink provides internet through a network of satellites orbiting Earth. The company currently operates the world’s largest constellation of satellites, with more than 6,750 in orbit. Starlink services are already available in several countries, including Mongolia, Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, Indonesia, Jordan, Yemen, Azerbaijan and Sri Lanka. Amazon’s Project Kuiper, Starlink’s rival, is also awaiting regulatory approvals from both the DoT and IN-SPACe. Kuiper is planning a large-scale satcom rollout in India.

A key highlight is the introduction of Advanced Protection Mode, offering enhanced privacy and security controls. The Now Bar is also set to receive new additions for quicker access to essential tools and functions.  Audio editing is expected to get a boost with an improved audio eraser, allowing users to remove background noise more effectively. Split-screen mode is likely to be upgraded for smoother multitasking, while a dynamic effect feature may add more fluid animations and transitions throughout the interface.   Samsung’s Strong Smartphone Sales  While Samsung’s smartphone sales remain strong, the company faces business uncertainty due to trade policies, including a proposed 25% tariff on smartphones not manufactured in the U.S. by President Donald Trump.

New Delhi: The cumulative Earth intelligence’s direct revenue opportunity for technology product and service providers will reach nearly $20 billion from by 2030, a report said on Wednesday. Earth intelligence will significantly impact every industry as it rapidly moves from government to the private sector, with annual revenue to surpass $4.2 billion in 2030, up from nearly $3.8 billion in 2025, according to Gartner. “The future of Earth intelligence will be won by the vendors that move quickly to develop technologies that make sense of the oceans of raw data they collect,” said Bill Ray, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner. Gartner defines Earth intelligence as the application of AI to Earth observation data to deliver solutions specific to industries and business functions. It encompasses gathering and providing Earth observation data, fit-for-purpose transforming it, and then using it to produce actionable insights with domain-specific AI models, tools and applications. “The value of Earth intelligence data is only now being realised. For example, vendors are leveraging satellites to pinpoint fallen trees blocking railroad tracks in a storm, monitor the temperature of every metal refinery to assess global production, count vehicles to analyse traffic patterns and consumer trends, and track sea cargo to evaluate shipping activity,” Ray said. These unprecedented insights are delivering immense value, and new use cases are being discovered daily as the AI vendor race intensifies with the ever-expanding volume of available data. He added. Currently, the raw data that fuels Earth intelligence is primarily collected and analysed by governments. However, there is a shift taking place. In fact, Gartner predicts that by 2030, enterprises will be spending more on Earth intelligence than governments and military bodies combined, accounting for more than 50 per cent of total Earth intelligence, up from less than 15 per cent in 2024. “As private technology and service providers begin to dominate Earth intelligence, they have the opportunity to sell data, models and applications to companies that lack the resources to analyse data for themselves,” Ray said. Earth intelligence will lead to new markets and offerings for data, models, stand-alone tools and applications as well as capabilities to embed within existing applications. This represents a massive business opportunity for technology product and service providers.
