huge debt. The Govt of
Rajasthan has taken loan

UK PM?s RWANDA
GAMBIT HITS YET
ANOTHER HURDLE
llegal migrants entering Britain in hordes is
causing disquiet in the ruling Conservative
Party. Britain?s former Home Minister Suella
Braverman, who was sacked last month, had warned
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that it was ?now or never?
to check ?mass, uncontrolled, illegal immigration?. A
day after her statement her successor James Cleverly
signed a revised treaty with Rwanda where thousands
of illegal immigrants are planned to be deported to
ease pressure in the UK.
The treaty with Rwanda is causing all the trouble in
the Tory party. The former home minister, a hardliner
on immigration, called for tougher measures to pre-
vent the inflow of migrants. She was critical of the UN
Convention on Refugees and European human rights
legislation for thwarting her plans. The scheme has
also failed to stand legal scrutiny.
The Rwanda legislation has taken yet another toll.
The immigration minister Robert Jenrick in Rishi Su-
nak?s cabinet has resigned because the Rwanda legis-
lation ?does not go far enough?.

HOW TO MAKE NEWS:
LEARN FROM NETAS
MK MP Senthilkumar?s reference to Ra-
jasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh as
?gaumutra states? (cow belt) has drawn strong
reaction from the BJP. Another controversy erupted
over the Telangana Chief Minister-designate Revanth
Reddy snide remark describing Telangana?s DNA being
better than Bihar?s and the Kurmi caste to which Bihar
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar belongs. The casteist re-
mark with regional bias did not go down well with Ni-
tish Kumar?s party the Janata Dal (U). In his remark
made before the Assembly elections Revanth Reddy
said, ?BRS chief KCR?s DNA belongs to Bihar. KCR?s
caste is Kurmi. Kur-
mis are from Bihar.
They migrated from
Bihar to Vizianagar-
am, and from there to
Telangana.? This be-
littling was enough to
ignite a political fire
after the elections.
The BJP pounced
on the issue that has
the potential of INDIA
grouping?s unity. Al-
ready the coalition is
showing signs of
cracks with West Ben-
gal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee,
former UP Chief Min-
ister Akhilesh Yadav
and Nitish Kumar dis-
tancing from the group. While the remark jeopardizes
Congress? role in Opposition unity, it also shows that
the political leaders do not know how to make decent,
uncontroversial statements. Union Minister of State for
Home Nityanand Rai accused the Congress of stooping
to play divisive politics. Tactfully he said that the remark
came after Nitish Kumar agreed to support INDIA.
There?s no dearth of instances of political leaders
both puny and tall making condemnable remarks and
then attacking one another. Some of these leaders
ensure that politics cannot remain clean and others
sully it with their deeds. It?s politics after all.

have noticed
a rise in the
number of
people who
say they take
it for granted that there is no
afterlife. As heavens and
hells fade from secular so-
ciety, the scientific world-
view offers no decisive
proof about what happens
when the physical body
dies. That should make the
afterlife an open question,
like speculating about
whether a plant orbiting
around a distant star might
have life on it. But some-
how the absence of proof
has made countless people
decide that death is final.
As sticky and complicat-
ed as this issue is, it can be
broken down into three per-
spectives that in themselves
are simple. The perspective
of a devout believer sup-
ports life after death; the
skeptical perspective denies
it; the undecideds stand in
the middle. The fundamen-
tal issue is whether the after-
life can be transformed into
a viable question.
I believe it can, once we
return to basics, including
the most boring basic,
which is to clearly define
our terms. That sounds
boring, but as it turns out,
defining our terms answers
the question.
The most basic term in
this case is consciousness,
because when arguing over
the possibility of an afterlife,
much confusion is caused by
asking the wrong questions.
If you don?t specify what
consciousness is, you wind
up worrying about the sur-
vival of the soul, or of ?me,?
the individual ego-personal-
ity. And if those pitfalls are
avoided, Eastern traditions
are filled with equally mis-
leading notions of Jiva, At-
man, and Brahman, or of
Nirvana and Satori.
If two people agree on
their definition of con-
sciousness, they will agree
on the existence or non-
existence of an afterlife.
For a skeptic whose core
belief is that all things can
be explained through mate-
rialism (data, experiments,
measurements, etc.), there
is no doubt that the afterlife
is spurious?not because it
actually is, but because a
skeptic?s worldview for-
bids it to exist. By the same
token, a devout believer
holds fast to a worldview
where the non-existence of
a personal God is imper-
missible, even unthinkable,
and therefore the afterlife
acquires its reality by as-
sociation with the deity.
Seeing this rigidity on
both sides, is there a defini-
tion of consciousness com-
pletely detached from all
belief systems, which means
the absence of bias, predis-
position, received wisdom,
rumor, myth, group pres-
sure, wishful thinking, fear,
and mental figments of
every sort? I believe so.
Every reasonable per-
son, I think, will accept that
consciousness, as experi-
enced by humans, is the
awareness of two things:
that we exist and that we
experience. By extension,
a reality that cannot be ex-
perienced is moot. By this
measure, UFOs, angels, the
afterlife, and the quantum
vacuum exist on the same
playing field. They are sup-
positions and inferences.
If we toss out supposi-
tions and inferences, what
can we truthfully say about
consciousness? By this I
mean what can we say that
no reasonable person will
disagree with? Here we
run into a complicated sit-
uation because certain as-
pects of consciousness re-
quire extended discussion
and a back-and-forth be-
tween people of good will.
Such a setup is rare, unfor-
tunately, but at least I can
relate a few things that I?ve
been able to convince peo-
ple of over the years.
1
There is only one con-
sciousness. To subdivide it
makes no sense. This point
is lifted almost verbatim
from Erwin Schr?dinger,
the eminent quantum pio-
neer. Philosophically, the
?one consciousness? posi-
tion is common to monistic
schools, because they repu-
diate any true difference,
ontologically, between the
one and the many. Yet when
dealing with everyday peo-
ple, it?s obvious that we all
cling fervently to being in-
dividuals, outfitted with
?my? family, house, body,
mind, and soul. To crack
this allegiance requires ar-
guments like the following:
l When you get wet, do you
call it ?my? wet? Some things
happen to us personally but turn
out to have a general existence.
l If you sing ?The Star-
Spangled Banner? as you walk
down the street, did the song
walk down the street with you?
l If you imagine your
mother?s face, where is that
mental image located? The
brain has no pictures in
it, and no light. When you
imagine your mother?s face,
you don?t consult a directory
of facial characteristics the
way computer recognition
software does--you simply
call up what you wish to see.
l Where is your self located?
There is no neurological evi-
dence of a region of the brain
that contains the self, and
even if researchers claimed
such a region existed, it would
have to contain everything
attached to you as a self,
including your life history.
2
Assuming that the dis-
cussion can crack open the
presumption of isolated, lo-
cal consciousness--there are
many ways to get at this, not
just the few questions listed
above--the second point is
that this ?one conscious-
ness? cannot be located. It
is everywhere, all at once.
This point sounds like a
hard sell, as it would be if
everyone held an advanced
degree in philosophy, I im-
agine. But in everyday life,
the argument is fairly easily
based on physics.
l Cosmologists and quantum
physicists agree that space-
time originated in a domain
(referred to as the zero point,

UK PM?s RWANDA
GAMBIT HITS YET
ANOTHER HURDLE
llegal migrants entering Britain in hordes is
causing disquiet in the ruling Conservative
Party. Britain?s former Home Minister Suella
Braverman, who was sacked last month, had warned
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak that it was ?now or never?
to check ?mass, uncontrolled, illegal immigration?. A
day after her statement her successor James Cleverly
signed a revised treaty with Rwanda where thousands
of illegal immigrants are planned to be deported to
ease pressure in the UK.
The treaty with Rwanda is causing all the trouble in
the Tory party. The former home minister, a hardliner
on immigration, called for tougher measures to pre-
vent the inflow of migrants. She was critical of the UN
Convention on Refugees and European human rights
legislation for thwarting her plans. The scheme has
also failed to stand legal scrutiny.
The Rwanda legislation has taken yet another toll.
The immigration minister Robert Jenrick in Rishi Su-
nak?s cabinet has resigned because the Rwanda legis-
lation ?does not go far enough?.

HOW TO MAKE NEWS:
LEARN FROM NETAS
MK MP Senthilkumar?s reference to Ra-
jasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Chhattisgarh as
?gaumutra states? (cow belt) has drawn strong
reaction from the BJP. Another controversy erupted
over the Telangana Chief Minister-designate Revanth
Reddy snide remark describing Telangana?s DNA being
better than Bihar?s and the Kurmi caste to which Bihar
Chief Minister Nitish Kumar belongs. The casteist re-
mark with regional bias did not go down well with Ni-
tish Kumar?s party the Janata Dal (U). In his remark
made before the Assembly elections Revanth Reddy
said, ?BRS chief KCR?s DNA belongs to Bihar. KCR?s
caste is Kurmi. Kur-
mis are from Bihar.
They migrated from
Bihar to Vizianagar-
am, and from there to
Telangana.? This be-
littling was enough to
ignite a political fire
after the elections.
The BJP pounced
on the issue that has
the potential of INDIA
grouping?s unity. Al-
ready the coalition is
showing signs of
cracks with West Ben-
gal Chief Minister
Mamata Banerjee,
former UP Chief Min-
ister Akhilesh Yadav
and Nitish Kumar dis-
tancing from the group. While the remark jeopardizes
Congress? role in Opposition unity, it also shows that
the political leaders do not know how to make decent,
uncontroversial statements. Union Minister of State for
Home Nityanand Rai accused the Congress of stooping
to play divisive politics. Tactfully he said that the remark
came after Nitish Kumar agreed to support INDIA.
There?s no dearth of instances of political leaders
both puny and tall making condemnable remarks and
then attacking one another. Some of these leaders
ensure that politics cannot remain clean and others
sully it with their deeds. It?s politics after all.

have noticed
a rise in the
number of
people who
say they take
it for granted that there is no
afterlife. As heavens and
hells fade from secular so-
ciety, the scientific world-
view offers no decisive
proof about what happens
when the physical body
dies. That should make the
afterlife an open question,
like speculating about
whether a plant orbiting
around a distant star might
have life on it. But some-
how the absence of proof
has made countless people
decide that death is final.
As sticky and complicat-
ed as this issue is, it can be
broken down into three per-
spectives that in themselves
are simple. The perspective
of a devout believer sup-
ports life after death; the
skeptical perspective denies
it; the undecideds stand in
the middle. The fundamen-
tal issue is whether the after-
life can be transformed into
a viable question.
I believe it can, once we
return to basics, including
the most boring basic,
which is to clearly define
our terms. That sounds
boring, but as it turns out,
defining our terms answers
the question.
The most basic term in
this case is consciousness,
because when arguing over
the possibility of an afterlife,
much confusion is caused by
asking the wrong questions.
If you don?t specify what
consciousness is, you wind
up worrying about the sur-
vival of the soul, or of ?me,?
the individual ego-personal-
ity. And if those pitfalls are
avoided, Eastern traditions
are filled with equally mis-
leading notions of Jiva, At-
man, and Brahman, or of
Nirvana and Satori.
If two people agree on
their definition of con-
sciousness, they will agree
on the existence or non-
existence of an afterlife.
For a skeptic whose core
belief is that all things can
be explained through mate-
rialism (data, experiments,
measurements, etc.), there
is no doubt that the afterlife
is spurious?not because it
actually is, but because a
skeptic?s worldview for-
bids it to exist. By the same
token, a devout believer
holds fast to a worldview
where the non-existence of
a personal God is imper-
missible, even unthinkable,
and therefore the afterlife
acquires its reality by as-
sociation with the deity.
Seeing this rigidity on
both sides, is there a defini-
tion of consciousness com-
pletely detached from all
belief systems, which means
the absence of bias, predis-
position, received wisdom,
rumor, myth, group pres-
sure, wishful thinking, fear,
and mental figments of
every sort? I believe so.
Every reasonable per-
son, I think, will accept that
consciousness, as experi-
enced by humans, is the
awareness of two things:
that we exist and that we
experience. By extension,
a reality that cannot be ex-
perienced is moot. By this
measure, UFOs, angels, the
afterlife, and the quantum
vacuum exist on the same
playing field. They are sup-
positions and inferences.
If we toss out supposi-
tions and inferences, what
can we truthfully say about
consciousness? By this I
mean what can we say that
no reasonable person will
disagree with? Here we
run into a complicated sit-
uation because certain as-
pects of consciousness re-
quire extended discussion
and a back-and-forth be-
tween people of good will.
Such a setup is rare, unfor-
tunately, but at least I can
relate a few things that I?ve
been able to convince peo-
ple of over the years.
1
There is only one con-
sciousness. To subdivide it
makes no sense. This point
is lifted almost verbatim
from Erwin Schr?dinger,
the eminent quantum pio-
neer. Philosophically, the
?one consciousness? posi-
tion is common to monistic
schools, because they repu-
diate any true difference,
ontologically, between the
one and the many. Yet when
dealing with everyday peo-
ple, it?s obvious that we all
cling fervently to being in-
dividuals, outfitted with
?my? family, house, body,
mind, and soul. To crack
this allegiance requires ar-
guments like the following:
l When you get wet, do you
call it ?my? wet? Some things
happen to us personally but turn
out to have a general existence.
l If you sing ?The Star-
Spangled Banner? as you walk
down the street, did the song
walk down the street with you?
l If you imagine your
mother?s face, where is that
mental image located? The
brain has no pictures in
it, and no light. When you
imagine your mother?s face,
you don?t consult a directory
of facial characteristics the
way computer recognition
software does--you simply
call up what you wish to see.
l Where is your self located?
There is no neurological evi-
dence of a region of the brain
that contains the self, and
even if researchers claimed
such a region existed, it would
have to contain everything
attached to you as a self,
including your life history.
2
Assuming that the dis-
cussion can crack open the
presumption of isolated, lo-
cal consciousness--there are
many ways to get at this, not
just the few questions listed
above--the second point is
that this ?one conscious-
ness? cannot be located. It
is everywhere, all at once.
This point sounds like a
hard sell, as it would be if
everyone held an advanced
degree in philosophy, I im-
agine. But in everyday life,
the argument is fairly easily
based on physics.
l Cosmologists and quantum
physicists agree that space-
time originated in a domain
(referred to as the zero point,
quantum vacuum state, or the
realm of pure mathematics)
that isn?t in time and space.
l The entire universe, as well
as individual subatomic parti-
cles, emerged from this pre-
created state, which has no
qualities we would recognize
such as linear time, dimen-
sionality, solidity, energy, etc.
l At the very least, all
FUHDWLRQVWRULHVVFLHQWLnFRU
not, converge on creation
of something out of nothing.
Beyond our experience of
reality in spacetime, there is
DnHOGRILQnQLWHSRWHQWLDODQG
unbounded possibilities.
l As reality of space, time,
matter, and energy appeared
and continues to appear,
existence of consciousness
must be accounted for. There
are only 2 viable possibilities
that are taken seriously.

The Opposition bloc will
get a “440 volt shock from
Modi magic in 2024”, BJP
leader Mukhtar Abbas
Naqvi has said.
Taking a swipe at the
I.N.D.I.A. bloc, Naqvi on
Thursday claimed there
was an ongoing tussle
among the alliance part-
ners and said Prime Min-
ister Narendra Modi’s
“arithmetic of success”
has shattered the “mathe-
matics of the Opposition”.
Addressing people dur-
ing the Viksit Bharat
Sankalp Yatra in Ram-
pur’s Koyla village, Naqvi
said the opposition should
realise that a “swarm of
stopgap” will not be able
to conquer the “mountain
of mass mandate”.
The Opposition alli-
ance will get a “440 volt
shock from Modi magic
in 2024”, Naqvi said.
There is an “ongoing
tussle” among the part-
ners of the Indian Nation-
al Inclusive Developmen-
tal Allaince (I.N.D.I.A.)
bloc and Prime Minister
Modi’s “arithmetic of
success” has shattered the
“mathematics of the Op-
position”.
A non-Congress Cen-
tral government is suc-
cessfully completing two
consecutive terms ensur-
ing good governance and
inclusive empowerment
and is moving towards
the third term under the
“dynamic and decisive”
leadership of Prime Min-
ister Modi, Naqvi was
quoted as saying by a
statement from his office.
WB: Bill passed

PTI

The West Bengal assem-

bill by virtue of which on-
line gaming, horse racing
and casinos will be taxed
at the highest GST rate of
28 per cent on full face
value of the bets involved.
Minister Chandrima
Bhattacharya said when
the WB Goods and Ser-
vices Tax (Second
Amendment) Bill, 2023,
will become an Act, it
will augment the revenue
of the state. West Bengal
is one of the states which
has advocated taxation of
such online gaming and
similar activities at the
highest rate, she said.
She said activities like
online gaming, casinos
and horse racing are all
games of chance and not
those of skill, and in these
cases, the “right to par-
ticipate and the right to
win cannot be separated”.

growing even before the

BJP leaders and an-

that invitations can also be
sent to independent MLAs
to attend he BJP Legisla-

In the ever-evolving realm of fashion, the iconic cities of New York City, London, Milan, and Paris have
long reigned as the capitals, each pulsating with its unique sartorial rhythm. Amidst this global tapestry
of style, City First encapsulates the finest threads from across these fashion meccas, delivering an
unparalleled array of bold, beautiful ensembles that beckon the fashion-forward!
n the kaleidoscopic
world of fashion, the
iconic quartet of New
York City, London, Mi-
lan, and Paris stand as
the perennial pillars of sartorial in-
novation. New York City, the trend-
setting crucible, thrives on eclectic
street style, where high fashion seam-
lessly merges with urban flair. Think
edgy leather jackets, oversized sil-
houettes, and a fearless embrace of
prints and patterns. Jaipurites can
infuse a touch of the NYC vibe into
their wardrobe with statement jack-
ets, bold accessories, and an unapolo-
getic mix of textures.
London, with its avant-garde spir-
it, exudes a blend of tradition and
rebellion. The sartorial scene is a
playground of contrasts, where vin-
tage meets modern, and
elegance flirts with ec-
centricity. Jaipurites
can draw inspiration
from London’s eclectic
mix by experimenting
with vintage finds, com-
bining florals with leath-
er, and playing with
asymmetry for a touch
of rebellious charm.
Milan, the epitome of
luxury, celebrates im-
peccable tailoring and
timeless elegance. The
Milanese wardrobe boasts sophistica-
tion in its simplicity, featuring struc-
tured silhouettes, neutral hues, and
an emphasis on fine craftsmanship.
The Pinkcity fashion enthusiasts can
embrace Milanese chic with well-
tailored pieces, neutral
color palettes, and an ap-
preciation for quality fab-
rics. Finally, Paris, the eter-
nal fashion muse, is syn-
onymous with romance
and effortless chic. Parisian
style is a delicate dance of
understated elegance,
characterized by classic sil-
houettes, neutral tones, and
an air of nonchalant so-
phistication.
By borrowing elements
from New York’s boldness,
London’s eclecticism, Milan’s refine-
ment, and Paris’s timeless allure,
Jaipurites can curate a fashion iden-
tity that transcends borders, cele-
brating the harmonious amalgama-
tion of global trends and local flair.

In the ever-evolving realm of fashion, the iconic cities of New York City, London, Milan, and Paris have
long reigned as the capitals, each pulsating with its unique sartorial rhythm. Amidst this global tapestry
of style, City First encapsulates the finest threads from across these fashion meccas, delivering an
unparalleled array of bold, beautiful ensembles that beckon the fashion-forward!
n the kaleidoscopic
world of fashion, the
iconic quartet of New
York City, London, Mi-
lan, and Paris stand as
the perennial pillars of sartorial in-
novation. New York City, the trend-
setting crucible, thrives on eclectic
street style, where high fashion seam-
lessly merges with urban flair. Think
edgy leather jackets, oversized sil-
houettes, and a fearless embrace of
prints and patterns. Jaipurites can
infuse a touch of the NYC vibe into
their wardrobe with statement jack-
ets, bold accessories, and an unapolo-
getic mix of textures.
London, with its avant-garde spir-
it, exudes a blend of tradition and
rebellion. The sartorial scene is a
playground of contrasts, where vin-
tage meets modern, and
elegance flirts with ec-
centricity. Jaipurites
can draw inspiration
from London’s eclectic
mix by experimenting
with vintage finds, com-
bining florals with leath-
er, and playing with
asymmetry for a touch
of rebellious charm.
Milan, the epitome of
luxury, celebrates im-
peccable tailoring and
timeless elegance. The
Milanese wardrobe boasts sophistica-
tion in its simplicity, featuring struc-
tured silhouettes, neutral hues, and
an emphasis on fine craftsmanship.
The Pinkcity fashion enthusiasts can
embrace Milanese chic with well-
tailored pieces, neutral
color palettes, and an ap-
preciation for quality fab-
rics. Finally, Paris, the eter-
nal fashion muse, is syn-
onymous with romance
and effortless chic. Parisian
style is a delicate dance of
understated elegance,
characterized by classic sil-
houettes, neutral tones, and
an air of nonchalant so-
phistication.
By borrowing elements
from New York’s boldness,
London’s eclecticism, Milan’s refine-
ment, and Paris’s timeless allure,
Jaipurites can curate a fashion iden-
tity that transcends borders, cele-
brating the harmonious amalgama-
tion of global trends and local flair.

he turmoil at Chat-
GPT-maker OpenAI,
bookended by the
board of directors fir-
ing high-profile CEO
Sam Altman on Nov.
17, 2023, and rehiring him just four
days later, has put a spotlight on arti-
ficial intelligence safety and concerns
about the rapid development of artifi-
cial general intelligence, or AGI. AGI
is loosely defined as human-level in-
telligence across a range of tasks.
The OpenAI board stated that Alt-
man’s termination was for lack of
candour, but speculation has centred
on a rift between Altman and mem-
bers of the board over concerns that
OpenAI’s remarkable growth – prod-
ucts such as ChatGPT and Dall-E
have acquired hundreds of millions of
users worldwide – has hindered the
company’s ability to focus on cata-
strophic risks posed by AGI.
OpenAI’s goal of developing AGI
has become entwined with the idea of
AI acquiring superintelligent capa-
bilities and the need to safeguard
against the technology being misused
or going rogue. But for now, AGI and
its attendant risks are speculative.
Task-specific forms of AI, meanwhile,
are very real, have become widespread
and often fly under the radar.
As a researcher of information sys-
tems and responsible AI, I study how
these everyday algorithms work – and
how they can harm people.
AI IS PERVASIVE
AI plays a visible part in many peo-
ple’s daily lives, from face recogni-
tion unlocking your phone to speech
recognition powering your digital as-
sistant. It also plays roles you might
be vaguely aware of – for example,
shaping your social media and online
shopping sessions, guiding your vid-
eo-watching choices and matching
you with a driver in a ride-sharing
service.
AI also affects your life in ways that
might completely escape your notice.
If you’re applying for a job, many em-
ployers use AI in the hiring process.
Your bosses might be using it to iden-
tify employees who are likely to quit.
If you’re applying for a loan, odds are
your bank is using AI to decide wheth-
er to grant it. If you’re being treated
for a medical condition, your health-
care providers might use it to assess
your medical images. And if you know
someone caught up in the criminal jus-
tice system, AI could well play a role
in determining the course of their life.
ALGORITHMIC HARMS
Many of the AI systems that fly under
the radar have biases that can cause
harm. For example, machine learning
methods use inductive logic, which
starts with a set of premises, to gener-
alize patterns from training data. A
machine learning-based resume
screening tool was found to be biased
against women because the training
data reflected past practices when
most resumes were submitted by men.
Even when legal practices prohibit dis-
crimination based on attributes such as
race and gender – for example, in con-
sumer lending – proxy discrimination
can still occur. Studies have found that
risk-equivalent Black and Latino bor-
rowers pay significantly higher interest
rates on government-sponsored enter-
prise-securitized and Federal Housing
Authority-insured loans than white
borrowers.
AI SAFETY IN THE HERE & NOW
The Biden administration’s recent ex-
ecutive order and enforcement efforts
by federal agencies such as the
Federal Trade Commission are
the first steps in recognizing
and safeguarding against al-
gorithmic harms.
And though large language
models, such as GPT-3 that
powers ChatGPT, and multi-
modal large language models,
such as GPT-4, are steps on the
road toward artificial general
intelligence, they are also al-
gorithms people are increas-
ingly using in school, work
and daily life. It’s important
to consider the biases that
result from the widespread
use of large language
models.
For example, these
models could exhibit
biases resulting from
negative stereotyp-
ing involving gen-
der, race or reli-
gion, as well as
biases in the rep-
resentation of
minorities and
disabled people.
As these models dem-
onstrate the ability to outperform
humans on tests such as the bar
exam, I believe that they require
greater scrutiny to ensure that AI-
augmented work conforms to
standards of transparency, accuracy
and source crediting and that stake-
holders have the authority to enforce
such standards.
Forget dystopian
scenarios
AI is pervasive today & the
risks are often hidden

reception cere-
mony of Divy-
ansh, son of
Jamnadas (JD) Maheshwari &
Archana, with Nikita, daughter of
Manoj Chitlangia & Poonam,
graced the elegant halls of Shakun
Horizon in Jaipur on December 4.
The celebrations commenced with
the vibrant Mayra festivities at
Shakun Hotel in C-Scheme, con-
tinuing with a joyous Nikasi pro-
gram hosted at the couple's resi-
dence, Shubham Enclave in Jaipur.
The occasion was nothing short
of a star-studded affair, adorned
by the presence of eminent per-
sonalities including Governor
Kalraj Mishra, RCA President
Vaibhav Gehlot, Justice SS Ko-
thari and his wife, Dr Anita Ko-
thari, MLA Rafiq Khan, Anoop
Bartaria and Saurabh Kakkar
among others. Adding glitz to the
soirée were celebrities such as
Jaya Prada, Aftab Shivdasani,
Govinda, Sunita Ahuja, and nu-
merous others, gracing the fes-
tivities with their warm blessings
and hearty congratulations.
The culmination of this union
was marked by the couple's wed-
ding vows amidst the scenic beau-
ty of Taj Aravali Resort & Spa in
Udaipur, witnessed by an intimate
gathering comprising family,
cherished friends, and dignitaries
from various sectors.
Dr Jagdeesh Chandra reached
the occasion and extended his
