Platforms have almost doubled-tripled deepfake takedowns: Vaishnaw

Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Monday highlighted rising concerns over AI-generated deepfakes, and noted that social media platforms, too, have scaled up efforts on deepfake takedowns. The minister termed deepfakes as a new menace and a threat to society. "A lot of content has started coming in the nature of deepfakes. Because of whatever changes have happened in the AI world, a huge quantity of deepfakes have started coming in the social media... the entire world, and the social media platforms themselves have significantly ramped up their efforts at removing the deepfakes," Vaishnaw, who is the minister for IT as well as Information and Broadcasting, told reporters. The platforms themselves have almost doubled or tripled their own takedowns of deepfake content, he added. "It's a new menace, new threat, which is coming for the society," he said, adding that countering it effectively is very important for society, for every individual, and institution.

Deloitte South Asia COO dismisses AI job loss fears, pushes for upskilling

Dismissing widespread fears that Artificial Intelligence (AI) will lead to massive job displacements, Deloitte South Asia Chief Operating Officer (COO) Nitin Kini said the consulting giant's ongoing drive to hire 50,000 professionals across India is heavily focused on upskilling employees to solve "higher-order" business problems. In an interview with PTI, Kini outlined Deloitte's aggressive expansion and investment strategy in the country, revealing upcoming plans to launch a Quantum Centre of Excellence (COE). Addressing concerns that the firm's massive 50,000 hiring target would be affected by AI automating manual tasks, Kini noted that Deloitte does not view AI as a tool to "disintermediate" layers of the workforce, but rather to unlock efficiencies. "I do not think job losses are the way. It is about upskilling and making sure that we can solve higher-order value problems with emerging tech," Kini said. The firm has already trained nearly 30,000 of its people on AI, with anoth

Telangana to explore AI tax to offset job losses, says CM Revanth Reddy

Telangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has said the state government is exploring policies to tax AI companies to compensate people who may lose jobs due to automation. In a virtual address to an Artificial Intelligence (AI) Symposium of Harvard Kennedy School in the US on Friday night, he described AI as a "double-edged sword", warning that risks could outweigh benefits if not managed early. "We will also try to bring policies similar to those on pollution, where polluting industries have to pay for carbon credits we will try to introduce laws so AI firms can be taxed for people credits," said Reddy, who recently completed a five-day leadership programme at the Harvard Kennedy School. "It is only fair that our companies with trillions of dollars of valuation compensate people and society whose jobs are lost," he said. Drawing parallels with earlier technological shifts, the CM said machines have eased manual work rather than replacing it. "AI will change the scope of work for
