Artificial Intelligence (AI), often a subject of fascination, speculation, and fear, is not inherently dangerous. It is, rather, a potent tool that can either enhance human potential or become a source of unintended harm, depending entirely on how it is wielded.
India is at the forefront of a global shift towards sustainable energy, showcasing significant progress in its renewable energy journey.
On 23 November 2021, the 194 member states of UNESCO adopted the recommendations on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence. The recommendation provided a basis for making AI systems work for the good of humanity, individuals, societies, the environment, and ecosystems and to prevent harm.
Recently Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) has captured the attention after multiple cases were reported from China and more recently, cases in India. However, should you be anxious about this new virus and is it as dangerous as that of COVID-19? And what one can do to protect themselves and their loved ones from the virus?
As the global shift towards sustainable energy solutions accelerates, electric vehicles (EVs) have become central to this transformation. However, the rapid expansion of the EV market presents significant challenges, particularly in managing the growing volume of electronic waste (e-waste).
Some pathogenic microorganisms (bacilli of anthrax, Clostridium perfringens, S. pneumoniae, causative agents of plague and tularaemia) are capable of producing a capsule in animal and human bodies. Certain microorganisms produce capsules in the organism as well as in nutrient media (causative agents of rhinoscleroma, ozaena, and pneumonia).
As per the Indian Union Minister of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution and Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Mr Pralhad Joshi, India's capacity has almost quadrupled from just 76 GW in 2014 to 200 GW in June 2024. Not just that, solar energy has seen particularly remarkable growth, growing from just 3 GW at the time to a staggering 85 GW in the present.
After some thought, I decided to base my list on the spiritual implications of the laws. Such associations suggest that these laws (applicable to inert objects in physics) are perhaps special cases of more far-reaching principles applicable to our entire existence.
Delivery vehicles, along with the wider freight ecosystem, which involves larger categories of vehicles, including trucks, release lakhs of tons of carbon emissions into our already polluted cities and streets.
