We should use AI to solve social problems, said PM Modi

It is no news that IT workers are looking at AI and automation as a big threat. India’s Prime Minister Narendra Modi thinks that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can solve a number of problems in the country

In his monthly ‘Mann ki Baat’ radio broadcast, he emphasized on how AI can solve a number of issues in the country. He deliberately focused on how ‘Artificial Intelligence’ can help the country in solving problems like differently abled persons, tracking natural disasters, assisting farmers and extending health services.

PMO Modi is keen on learning more about the real-world use cases of AI and automation. If artificial intelligence is harnessed and implemented in a right way, it can add a huge benefit to the society. With the large population and digital literacy, India has a great pool of data that we can use for creating highly-advanced AI technologies.

He said, “It was interesting to know about the ongoing miraculous accomplishments in the field of science. Artificial Intelligence aids in making robots and other machines meant for specific tasks. This technology can be harnessed to better the lives of the underprivileged, the marginalized and the needy.”

In his monthly talk, he appreciated the participation of women in building ‘New India’. He deliberated on how to empower these women in achieving the dream of ‘New India’. He said, “After all, our dream of 'New India' is the one where women are strong and empowered and are equal partners in the development of the country.” The participation of women in all the field is our fundamental duty.

February 28th is the National Science Day. PMO Modi stressed the importance of the relentless quest for truth. He expects the scientific community to leverage artificial intelligence and work on projects that solve the India-specific problems.

Paytm eyes Rs 60,000 crore from interbank transactions

Paytm is targeting average monthly interbank account transactions of Rs 60,000 crore through its platform by the end of the year, to be achieved through a new feature of bank transfers that the digital payments company added to its mobile application. Paytm, which already offers users the option of transferring funds between their mobile wallets, opened up bank transfers using UPI(Unified Payments Interface) and IMPS (Immediate Payment Service). UPI and IMPS are run by the National Payments Corporation of India(NPCI) and facilitate real-time interbank transactions. “We have simplified the product for the users allowing them to transfer funds by using the wallet or any connected bank account,” said Deepak Abbot, senior vice president at the SoftBank- and Alibaba-backed company. “We are trying to promote this product for all recurring payments like tuition fees, rent payments, and others…” Adding this feature to the platform is a significant de...

H4 visa issue: Is Trump administration confusing Indian techies?

The Trump administration decided to delay the decision regarding H4 visa. This is supposed to be a good news, but it has nothing but confused the Indian techies working in the US. The department of homeland security (DHS) deferred issuing the proposal to restrict work permits for H4 dependent visas. The decision was supposed to be taken by February 28 but it has now been delayed to the end of June 2018. The move comes just a few days after the Trump administration announced increased scrutiny for H-1B visa approvals, making it rather confusing for existing H-1B holders. Indian families are largest beneficiaries of H-4 visas. H-1B visa holders that move to the US with their spouses can apply for work permit for their spouses. The provision of H-4 visa has helped many Indian H-1B holders find work for their spouses. The department of homeland security (DHS) was planning to issue the proposal to restrict work permits for H-4 visa holders. The government led by the former...

H-1B: Work permit uncertainty cause worry among spouses of visa holders

In recent times, most of the people who came to the US legally with a spousal visa, or H-4, allowed to the spouses and wives and husbands of those who have H1-B, or high tech, visas, are much delighted and cried with euphoria as soon they heard that they would be able to get a work permit. Although H4 visas did not permit a person to work in the US – until 2015, when the Obama rule empowered a regulation that opened the route for several people with spousal visas to get permits, well-known as employment authorization documents (EAD). The help of H-4 visa holders hasn't kept going long, in any case. Bishen and mates who got the work approvals are presently in limbo since the Trump organization showed it intends to end the program this year. In the event that that occurs before they can get new work grants, life partners of H-1B holders in the Seattle region should choose whether to quit working in the United States or leave the nation. However, this relief of H-4 visa-ho...
