The Tripura government has teamed up with the NIC Blockchain Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for the initiative and is using the latter’s APIs Tripura is using the blockchain-based beneficiary management system to secure approved beneficiary lists, transaction requests, and details of successful transactions Tripura has joined a growing list of Indian states and government agencies using blockchain initiatives across a variety of use cases The Tripura government has started using blockchain technology to secure the data on the state’s beneficiary management system. The state government has teamed up with the NIC Blockchain Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru for this and is using the latter’s APIs. The APIs will allow the state government to store state beneficiary data sets on the blockchain, safeguarding the records and avoiding data manipulation. Tripura is using the blockchain-based beneficiary management system to secure scheme-wise approved beneficiary lists, approved transaction requests, and scheme-wise details of successful transactions. The move is in line with the state government’s mission to promote ‘Digital Tripura’. It has also introduced schemes such as the IT/ITeS Startup Scheme, Data Centre Policy, ITeS Policy and IT incentive scheme as part of its digital push. In a statement, Dr Naresh Babu, director of IT in the Tripura government, said he is keen on exploring blockchain for issuing government-to-business certificates such as licences. He also expressed interest in exploring the Web3 Sandbox offered by the India Blockchain Forum to build and test use cases aimed at citizen and public services and enabling startups to build innovative use cases.  Rising Use Of Blockchain Tripura has joined a growing list of Indian states and government agencies using blockchain initiatives across use cases such as e-governance, healthtech, agritech, fintech, edtech and more. States such as Telangana, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu have introduced several initiatives, including initiatives for blockchain property registration, Web3 regulatory sandbox and blockchain policies. In December 2021, the Ministry of Electronics and IT (MeitY) published the National Strategy on Blockchain, a 52-page document on the government’s plan to adopt blockchain. MeitY also introduced a five-year plan to implement blockchain across several industries under the National Blockchain Framework (NBF). According to a joint report by Deloitte and the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce & Industry (FICCI), there are multiple use cases for the blockchain in the public domain. Some of these use cases include health records, digital certificates, land registries, voting, smart contracts and academic certificates. Last year, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman called the blockchain technology imperative but also flagged anonymity as a risk. Earlier, Reserve Bank of India Governor Shaktikanta Das called for global regulations for blockchain as it transcends boundaries.

When it comes to artificial intelligence and machine learning, Googlehas been quite at the forefront. However, it was caught off-guard when ChatGPT arrived in November 2022. Since then Google has taken strides in bringing AI tools to a lot of its users. However, questions still persist about user privacy and how data is being used. Google has allayed some of those fears and reiterated its commitment to user privacy.In a blog post,Yulie Kwon Kim, vice president, product management, Workspace Platform, said “We want to be completely clear that generative AI does not change our foundational privacy protections for giving users choice and control over their data.” Kim said that Google doesn’t sell any Workspace users’ data. “The content that you put into Google Workspace services (emails, documents, etc.) is yours. We never sell your data, and you can delete your content or export it,” she said in the blog post. Further, she underlined that Google does not use your Workspace data to train or improve the underlying generative AI and large language models that power Bard, Search, and other systems outside of Workspace without permission. So yes, unless and until you give consent, your data remains private and secure. Targeted ads are something a lot of digital citizens have to deal with. “Google does not collect, scan, or use your content in Google Workspace services for advertising purposes,” added Kim. Duet AI is Google’s AI tool for Docs, Slides, and Sheets. The company said that while its AI stores any prompts or generated content alongside your Workspace content but does not share them outside your organisation. Duet AI brings the same enterprise-grade security as the rest of Google Workspace, automatically applying your organization’s existing controls and data handling practices, such as data-regions policies and Data Loss Prevention, says Google.

Elon Musk has been posting a lot about his ‘cage match’ on X to create a hype around it but it seems an all talk-no action situation. A day ago, he again posted claiming that his fight with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg will be livestreamed on X as well as Meta’s platforms. Zuck has now replied and he did not pull his punches this time. What Musk saidZuckerberg’s reply came soon after Musk posted that “the fight will be managed by my and Zuck’s foundations (not UFC).” “Livestream will be on this platform and Meta.Everything in [the] camera frame will be ancient Rome, so nothing modern at all. I spoke to the PM of Italy and [the] Minister of Culture. They have agreed on an epic location,” he said, purportedly referring to the reports ofColosseum hosting their fight.Zuckerberg ‘not holding breath for Elon’Zuckerberg posted on Threads that he loves this sport and if there’s a date, people will hear from him.“I love this sport and I’ve been ready to fight since the day Elon challenged me. If he ever agrees on an actual date, you’ll hear it from me. Until then, please assume anything he says has not been agreed on,” he said. “Not holding my breath for Elon, but I’ll share details on my next fight when I’m ready. When I compete, I want to do it in a way that puts a spotlight on the elite athletes at the top of the game,” Zuckerberg noted.“You do that by working with professional orgs like the UFC or ONE to pull this off well and create a great card,” he added, and shared a photo from ‘Friday Morning Fights’ in his backyard octagon.X CEO has ‘objections’Recently, X CEO Linda Yaccarino said she has objections to the fight and Musk is training for it.“We’ll see if that cage match really does happen. I’ve had a front row seat of witnessing that,” Yaccarino added. The CEO also noted that a potential fight would be a “great brand sponsorship opportunity.” Probably, this is the reason why Musk is hyping up the fight – to bring advertising on the platform.

Prime Minister Narendra Modi has asked citizens to upload photos with Tiranga on harghartiranga.com website under the ‘Har Ghar Tiranga’ movement between 13th to 15th August. “The Tiranga symbolises the spirit of freedom and national unity.

Commenting on the occasion, Sunil Raina, President and Business Head, Lava International, said, “We are very proud to see India break the record of building the largest animated mobile phone mosaic in the shape of the Indian Flag. This is a tribute to the nation on its 77th Independence Day and marks a celebration of the success of Agni 2 – which quashed the notion that Indian tech products cannot succeed. We’re proud to have set this record.” On portfolio expansionLava International has its manufacturing and repair facility in Noida.

According to Counterpoint Research, Lava recorded 53% year-on-year growth during the second quarter of 2023.

Many talented artists are represented: a rapper with Trisomy-21 named Jirau (after a pioneering fashion model), who is an especially strong lyricist. In 2073, neurodiverse artists (many formerly known as “disabled”) are valued, as most AI algorithms had largely ignored them in their early training sets. Then there’s DJ Congolia, who made original beats exclusively from the sounds of living things in the Congo rainforest (near where he was born and raised). And, of course, Dice Benoit. Sitting at home in Minnesota, headset on, she exhales in anticipation. In the virtual auction, her avatar rises on stage, prepared to pitch. Her presentation is compelling. It focuses on how she can rhyme about everything: politics, climate, prison, religion, war, famine, gaming, family, friendships, love. She is a strong candidate for a good training set because a company can take her data and build rap music of almost any kind: summer love ballads, political campaign slogan-songs, flying car commercials. Dice Benoit isn’t entirely unique in her topical diversity: Long gone are the days when some hip hop artists felt the need to center misogyny, material consumption, or any other singular tropes. The reason? In the late 2020s, AI became so advanced that it was able to generate songs with that sort of content far more convincingly than any human artist could. Replicating old ideas fell out of favor, while novelty was rewarded—fresh data means new music that more people can relate to, which translates to more money. This arithmetic led to the destruction of older categories and a rapid flowering of new rap subgenres around the world. Some of the most lucrative and popular rap scenes of 2073 include those dedicated to Angolan literature, astrobiology, cyber theft, Harriet Tubman, Jack Kerouac, Maori history, Santeria, sex work, space tourism, and Sufism. And new subgenres are born regularly. Further, AI made language barriers a thing of the past. In 2073, a rapper can generate a rhyme in one language and have it translated into a hundred others in seconds. The challenges that have plagued translation forever—not all things translate well between languages—remain, but AI can optimize as well as anyone ever has. Rappers from the west side of Chicago have large fan bases all over the world who now listen to the lyrics translated to Bengali, Tagalog, and Ibo (AI ensures that despite the translation, the music remains enjoyable). This AI ecosystem rewards human artists who are productive generalists, who can generate as much quality training data as possible. Musicians who play multiple instruments well can generate training data for an entire orchestra, which improves their financial gain. In hip hop, artists who can rhyme about a lot of things—like Dice Benoit—are poised to do well. This perspective is not without controversy, however, as some lament the loss of specialization that had dominated the art world for centuries. But the excellence of AI technology has rendered this perspective less popular. The truth is, no human could ever hope to specialize the way AI can (a lesson the world first learned when IBM’s Deep Blue defeated Kasparov in chess in 1997).
