Artificial Intelligence needs to become less and less artificial AI (Artificial Intelligence) is everywhere and it’s here to stay. It now powers so many real-world applications, ranging from facial recognition to language translators and assistants like Siri and Alexa. Along with these consumer applications, companies across sectors are increasingly harnessing AI’s power for productivity growth and innovation. There are many who believe that AI has the potential to become more significant than even the internet. Availability of enormous amount of data combined with huge leap in computational power and huge improvements in engineering skills should help AI, backed with deep learning, to make huge impact across various facets of human life. Amid all the hype, genuine and inflated, around the world of AI, it is pertinent to ask an important question. Do humans really love AI? Are humans really happy that many of their daily tasks will now be taken care of by a machine? The adoption and so the future of AI is dependent on the answers to these questions. In 2016, AlphaGo, an AI-based algorithm, trounced South Korean grandmaster Lee Sedol four games to one in Seoul, South Korea. This was the first time a computer program had beaten a top player in a full contest and was hailed as a landmark for AI. Today there are more efficient AI algorithms that can beat AlphaGo squarely. But the moot question is whether the human Go players would want to play more games with these machines. The superior computing power of AI has taken away even the remotest chance of a human winning a game against AlphaGo. It is unlikely that a human will want to play a game that he is sure of losing, every time. This holds a valuable lesson about the future of AI. An AI product that makes humans look like losers will not have high adoption rates. The last time there was a serious discussion about machines making humans redundant was at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Newly invented machines and industrial engineering principles put forward by F.W. Taylor treated humans as a replaceable parts of an assembly line. No one cared for the men who lost their jobs to machines, nor the men who worked on those machines. Workers in the world’s early factories faced long hours of work under extremely unhygienic conditions, and mostly lived in slums. This soon resulted in significant resistance to the introduction of machines and several labour riots. Government soon intervened to provide basic rights and protection for workers. Statutory regulations forced factory owners to set up formal mechanisms to look into workers’ wages and welfare. Several new studies like Elton Mayo’s Hawthorne Studies debunked Taylor’s Scientific Management approach toward raising productivity and established that the major drivers of productivity and motivation were non-monetary factors. A host of new theories and management practices emerged.

Sooryavanshi: Akshay Kumar upset with Rohit Shetty over Salman Khan?
Mumbai :While Salman Khan has hailed Rohit Shetty as his brother and one section of the media might have hailed him as the real Singham for agreeing to pre-pone the release of Sooryavanshi, but, Akshay Kumar is not very happy with the sudden development of things. Akshay Kumar starrer, Rohit Shetty's next film in the cop drama – Sooryavanshi – was supposed to release on Eid 2020 along with Salman Khan and Alia Bhatt starrer Inshallah. The clash was touted as one of the biggest clashes the film industry has ever seen since both Sanjay Leela and Rohit Shetty have a reputation of delivering massive blockbusters. The loss to both the films was unavoidable. But, upon Salman Khan's request, Rohit Shetty agreed to pre-pone the release of his magnum opus.
As per a report in Deccan Chronicle, it was solely Rohit Shetty's decision to change the date of the release of this film and Akshay Kumar was not involved in making this decision. The decision was taken by Salman Khan and Rohit Shetty and despite Salman Khan and Akshay being good friends, Kumar had no idea about what was happening. Hence it came as a shock to Akshay when the decision was made on the public platform and left him mightily upset with the maker. Earlier too, Akshay Kumar had agreed to postpone his film, Padman, for the release of Sanjay Leela Bhansali's – Padmaavat.

The company announced at the Paris Air Show on Tuesday that International Airlines Group, the parent company of British Airways and other carriers, signed a letter of intent for 200 Boeing 737 aircraft. Boeing said it's the first sale of the jet since the crash of an Ethiopian Airlines 737 Max in March. Another 737 Max crashed in Indonesia last year, and the planes are now grounded amid a probe into problematic software. The letter of intent is subject to final agreement but is a vote of confidence in Boeing as it struggles to win back trust. The planes would be delivered between 2023 and 2027 to airlines owned by IAG. The planes would cost $24 billion at list prices.

Facebook unveils Libra, its own digital currency for two billion-plus users SAN FRANCISCO: Facebook already rules daily communication for more than two billion people around the world. Now it wants its own currency, too. The social network unveiled an ambitious plan on Tuesday to create a new digital currency similar to Bitcoin for global use, one that could drive more e-commerce on its services and boost ads on
its platforms. But the effort, which Facebook is launching
with partners including PayPal, Uber, Spotify, Visa
and Mastercard, could also complicate matters for the beleaguered social network. Facebook is currently under federal investigation over its privacy practices, and along with other technology giants also faces a new antitrust probe in Congress. Creating its own globe-spanning currency, one that could conceivably threaten banks, national currencies and the privacy.

RTE: HC asks govt to reply on contempt plea Ahmedabad :The Gujarat High Court on Monday sought reply from the state government and primary education department in connection with a contempt of court petition filed over the issue of non-declaration of vacant seats in private schools under the Right To Education Act (RTE).

Hike only in fees, not in facilities: IITE students
Ahmedabad :After raising their voices against increase in exam fee a month ago, students at Indian Institute of Teacher's Education (IITE), Gandhinagar, are protesting against what they feel is a massive and unwarranted fee hike. Around 300 students sat on dharna on Tuesday in protest of the fee hike announced by the new vicechancellor. According to students, the state government has permitted the varsity to collect Rs 25,000 fee per semester. However, the administration has increased the fee for undergraduate semester 3-5 to Rs 32,500 and UG semester 7 to Rs 28,500, they claimed The students added that the varsity has increased the fee for MA-MSC (maths) to Rs 33,500 and MSc-MEd (Physics, Chemistry and Botany) to Rs 40,000 per
semester. Theyalleged that the varsity has abruptly increased the fee.Refuting the allegations, V-C Harshad Patel said there was no change in academic fee. He said the hike was in the fee for hostel and mess facility, which is not mandatory. Students claimed that as per the norm, female students should be exempted from paying fees under government's Kanya Kelavni scheme; however, the varsity not only refused to refund the fee collected during previous years but also
continued to charge tuition fee for girl students. "We sat on dharna from Tuesday morning. The varsity has increased the fee randomly and it is botheringstudents. The irony is that though V-C Harshad Patel knows about our concerns, he did not meet us or even come out to discuss our concerns. On the contrary, he called police to campus," said a student of master's programme, r e q u e s t i n g a n o n y m i t y. Another student said,"Why this increase in fee?

Ahmedabad : Years may go by, but the ground reality in the city hardly changes, literally. The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's pre-monsoon preparations seem to have come to naught, for roads lie broken after just one round of showers, that too pre-monsoon, on Tuesday.

Looking at the damage across the city, mayor Bijal Patel and AMC standing committee chairman Amul Bhatt held a meeting with AMC officials, and instructed them to take immediate action on rain-related problems.

“Ph.D only for the post of Associate Professor and above: Health Ministry clarifies”
Delhi : Responding the memorandum submitted by the National M.Sc Medical Te a c h e r s ’ A s s o c i a t i o n (NMMTA), the union health ministry on 27th May has written to the Principal Secretaries of Health/ Medical Education of all the states and union territories
clarifying that in case of ‘non-medical’ teachers working in medical colleges, Ph.D is required only for the post of Associate Professor and above. This move came following the memorandum submitted by Dr. Sridhar Rao (President) and Mr. Arjun Maitra (General Secretary)
to the Health Ministry. Serial No.2 in the Shedule-I of the MCI’s Teachers Eligibility and Qualification (TEQ) guidelines states, “A nonmedical approved medical M.Sc. qualification shall be a sufficient qualification for appointment as Lecturer in the subject concerned but
for promotion to higher teaching post a candidate must possess the Ph.D. degree in the subject”. “Several medical colleges and the Department of Medical Education (DME) of the state governments were denying appointment or promotion as Assistant
Professor to the non-medical teachers who did not possess Ph.D”, said Dr. Sridhar Rao. “In a written reply to the Lok Sabha in December 2018, MoHFW had stated the same, yet it was not being honored by some medical colleges and DMEs because of disparity between the

The fall in oil prices could benefit the Indian economy
Ahmedabad : India should be thankful for more than the obvious gains like a reduced trade deficit, a more stable exchange rate, more fiscal space, lower inflation and reduced interest rates. Amid a bevy of negative economic news, New Delhi can take comfort in the present slump in oil prices. In the first quarter of this year, oil prices rose over a third. There was talk of $100-a-barrel and growth downgrades for importers like India. Events seemed to only strengthen the case for a price spike: mismanagement by Venezuela and sanctions against Iran cut supply by over two million barrels a year, the Organisation of Petroleum Exporting Nations held to earlier production curbs, and the proxy war between Tehran and Riyadh escalated. Instead, global oil prices have fallen to the low 60s and one crude variety, West Texas
Intermediate, hit $52 a barrel. With some analysts speaking of oil prices softening all the way into 2020, India could be a huge beneficiary given its problematic standing as the world’s fastest growing importer of oil. The reason oil prices are in free fall is not supply, but demand. The assumption that the United States, China and India – the world’s three biggest oil consumers – would keep burning ever increasing amounts has proven false. US oil consumption has been falling while China’s economy is slowing down rapidly. India’s growth in the coming year is likely to be less than robust. The US’s multiple trade wars are putting brakes on growth worldwide. The most obvious evidence of this mismatch between supply and demand, the fundamental driver of global oil prices, is that overall US oil inventories.
