2. The Chairman of NTRO calls for more awareness about artificial intelligence to prevent misunderstandings
NTRO Chairman Arun Kumar Sinha emphasized the need to increase public awareness about artificial intelligence. He warns of possible misunderstandings and supports the national authority to monitor the development of artificial intelligence. Sinha also emphasizes the importance of securing user credentials during online transactions to combat cyber fraud, The Hindu reported.
3. AI chatbots offering health tips raise concerns about harmful advice
Artificial intelligence (AI) is making strides in providing health advice, but concerns are mounting. The National Eating Disorders Association of America recently removed its AI chatbot “Tessa” due to harmful advice. AI health tips cover symptoms, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention, but are often presented as human-authored content for added credibility. However, there are potential risks as AI-generated content may offer questionable health cures and information, the Indian Express reported.
4. India among the top three most targeted APAC countries as AI-powered cyber threats increase
India is among the top three nation-state cybercriminals in the Asia-Pacific region as they leverage artificial intelligence for new threats and drive the evolution of ransomware. Microsoft’s Digital Defense Report notes that while India was the second-highest target of TCP attacks last year, it has now dropped to fifth due to geopolitical changes. Artificial intelligence is being used by both cybercriminals to fine-tune attacks and defenders to improve threat detection and response as Microsoft thwarts numerous password attacks and DDoS attempts, The Hindu reported.
5. London is experimenting with AI monitoring of employment agency meetings to increase employment
A trial using artificial intelligence to monitor the interaction between jobcentre staff and benefit claimants is underway in London, with the aim of improving employment opportunities. The Ministry of Labor and Pensions is testing several artificial intelligence projects in the hope of improving public sector services and reducing costs. According to a Telegraph report, the government is looking to increase productivity in the public sector, and artificial intelligence will play a significant role, especially in benefits-related applications. In one project, artificial intelligence analyzes conversations between job coaches and job seekers and offers customized advice for job training.
