This is good stuff, Congress.

Finally, you are learning.

Why does Mamata Banerjee have so many liberal fans despite tying up with the BJP twice, and repeatedly blocking tactical moves for opposition unity?

It comes from a distaste for Rahul Gandhi, partly because he is a dynast, but more importantly, because he is anti-corporate.

it takes a nehru to unify global south

This is a very strong statement, and it reminds me again of the ideological coherence, articulateness and moral clarity we have had to miss for the last 12 years.

[Priyanka Gandhi Vadra @priyankagandhi]

The targetted assassination of the leadership of a sovereign nation by the so called leaders of the democratic world and the killing of multitudes of innocent people is despicable and deserves strong condemnation, no matter what the proclaimed reason for it is.

It is tragic that multiple nations have now been dragged into conflict.

The world needs peace not more unnecessary wars. Those in charge of it would do well to remember Mahatma Gandhi’s words: An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.

I do hope that having genuflected before the Prime Minister of Israel and President Trump, our Prime Minister makes every effort to bring all Indian citizens in the affected countries back home to safety.

If the draft rule starts classifying (and labelling) anything that appears real as “synthetic”, it risks prioritising perceived authenticity over truth, blurring the line between fact and perception. My piece on AI Generated content in @medianama

Heart goes out to my friend @AadilHasanAdv1 who lost by less than 400 votee in Balrampur. He's a selfless, hardworking leader and I'm sure this is the beginning of a successful journey, God willing.

AI-generated media threatens public trust. In India, low digital literacy & fragile media trust compound risks of AI-driven misinformation. Labels alone arent enough due to issues of accuracy & privacy. I argue for adaptive governance to build trust in AI. https://t.co/yjO37ngXh5

In healthcare, treating data as mere exhaust rather than infrastructure can lead to misinformed decisions, compromised patient care, and missed opportunities for innovation. My piece in @thewire_in.

Real families don’t fit DPDP’s ideal of conscientious parents & dutiful children, they are messy and pose privacy risks. Parental consent adds to this complexity. In ⁦@the_hindu⁩, I argue that policy must balance privacy with children’s rights. https://t.co/Cg5o3PMdSa

[Asheef @knowiqubal]

The draft rules include ambiguous notice and consent mechanisms and broad government powers that could compromise privacy. My piece in @thewire_in

CUTS recommends defining algorithmic risk criteria based on data sensitivity, training methods, use cases, deployment contexts, and consumer impact.
