Govt to come out with legal framework to ensure data privacy: Piyush Goyal

India will come out with a legal framework to ensure data privacy that will encourage free data flow among trusted partners, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal on Thursday said, as he sought investment in technology and innovation. Speaking at the UK India Business Council's 'UK-India Technology Futures Conference', the minister said India and the UK can collaborate on technology in the fields of AI education, telemedicine, climate modelling, precision agriculture and organic chemical, electronic and food industries. Goyal pointed out that it will be important to understand how in the future the digital world and sustainability issues will intersect. A major portion of energy will be consumed by systems that will churn out data and that will have an impact on sustainability issues, he said, adding that there are very few places in the world where there is an interconnected grid in the way that India has. The minister said that by 2030, India would have a thousand-gigawatt

US elections: Harris calls chip workers in Michigan 'source of optimism'

Kamala Harris has emphasised how government funding for computer chip manufacturers could create factory jobs in the electoral battleground of Michigan, days after Donald Trump criticised the bipartisan 2022 law that provides the money and said he would rather just charge tariffs. The Democratic vice president visited Saginaw County to tour a Hemlock Semiconductor factory. Last week, the Commerce Department said the company would receive up to USD 325 million in direct support to build a new factory making hyper-pure polysilicon, a building block for electronics and solar panels, among other technologies. The new facility would add 180 factory jobs in Michigan.
