Jumping on the artificial intelligence (AI) bandwagon, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the Cupertino-based firm is investing heavily in AI even as the tech giant reported declining sales numbers.

The announcement was made on Thursday (Aug 3) as Apple recorded its third straight quarter of fall in sales and predicted a similar performance in the current period—the company’s most prolonged sales slump since 2016.

<h2>Weak iPhone sales</h2>

In the third fiscal quarter ending July 1, Apple’s sales fell 1.4 per cent to $81.8 billion, according to IBES data from Refinitiv.&nbsp;

However, the company made a profit of $19.9bn over the quarter, higher than analysts had expected.

iPhone sales were weaker than the analyst estimates, but it was balanced by strong sales in the services segment that contains Apple&nbsp;TV+ and by sales in China that grew 8 per cent year over year, according to Reuters.

The iPhone sales in India also grew double-digits, however, the executives didn’t share the exact numbers.

<h2>Apple to invest heavily in generative AI</h2>

Speaking to the Reuters news agency, Tim Cook said that the company’s main focus is on generative artificial intelligence and added that a significant amount of R&amp;D has been dedicated to the field, which has been witnessing big spending by its technology rivals Alphabet and Microsoft.

“We’ve been doing research across a wide range of AI technologies, including generative AI, for years. We’re going to continue investing and innovating and responsibly advancing our products with these technologies to help enrich people’s lives,” Cook said.

“Obviously, we’re investing a lot, and it is showing up in the R&amp;D spending that you’re looking at.”

Apple has upped its research and development spending to around $22.61bn for the fiscal year so far, which is about $3.12bn higher than at this point in the previous year.

Apple has pegged the gross profit margin in the September quarter at 44 per cent to 45 per cent, above analyst expectations of 43.4 per cent, according to Refinitiv data.

While Apple expects growth in its service segment that contains Apple TV+, iPad and Mac sales will fall by "double digits," Apple Chief Financial Officer Luca Maestri told Reuters.

Apple sales slump continues as it unveils its AI plans

Tinder, the popular dating app with over 75 million active users, is stepping up its game with the integration of artificial intelligence (AI) to optimise users' profile images.

With the aim of increasing the chances of making meaningful connections, Tinder is testing an AI tool that selects the most flattering photos from a user's album, effectively transforming the dating experience, as reported&nbsp;by the Guardian.&nbsp;

<h2>AI's image selection algorithm</h2>

Tinder's AI innovation involves an intricate algorithm that meticulously examines a user's photo collection and curates a selection of five images that best encapsulate their personality.

This technological advancement aims to alleviate the stress of photo selection, addressing the age-old dilemma of choosing the most appealing picture for one's profile.

By relieving users of the uncertainty surrounding photo choices, the technology seeks to create a more accurate and vibrant representation of each individual.

Tinder's venture into AI-driven improvements is just one facet of Match Group's overarching strategy. The company envisions various initiatives utilising generative AI to revolutionise the dating landscape. The goal? To eliminate the discomfort and uncertainty often associated with online dating, ushering in a more rewarding experience for users.

Swipe right to perfection: Tinder tests AI-powered tool for picking your picture-perfect pose

Artificial intelligence is currently gaining a lot of attention worldwide, particularly in Hollywood, where thousands of actors and writers are on strike, demanding regulations concerning AI. In the midst of this, actress Whoopi Goldberg shared her thoughts on the growing use of modern technology. 
 
During a Hot Topics chat on the recent episode of The View with Neil deGrasse Tyson, the actress had a very deep discussion on AI as she went on to share that she doesn't want to be recreated by AI. 
 
Goldberg said, "I don't want AI duplicating me. That's what I don't want,".

Reacting to the actress's view, Sara Haines joked, "Oh, we could never get two of you, Whoops." Cohost Joy Behar added, "One is enough" with a laugh.

Further referencing to the SAG-AFTRA strike, Goldberg said, "But, think about what they're doing in cinema."&nbsp;

She added, "They can duplicate folks, and you don't know who's who or which one is real." 
 
Last month, Goldberg shared that she doesn't want a hologram of herself after her death.&nbsp; 
 
She has mandated in her will that nobody ever make a digital hologram featuring her likeness following her death.

On The View episode, Goldberg, 67, said, "Yeah, no, I don't want to be a hologram, but that's been in my will for 15 years."

<h2>SAG-AFTRA strike&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;</h2>

The SAG-AFTRA strike began last month. Thousands of actors have joined the ongoing writer's strike, which started two months ago. The union of actors began the strike after SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) and AMPTP (Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers), failed to reach a deal. The union of actors is demanding fair pay and a guarantee from the studios that they will not replace them with the help of artificial intelligence (AI).

Hollywood studios will meet with writers this week to discuss reopening talks for the first time since a strike began nearly 100 days ago.

The Writers Guild of America (WGA) walkout, which kicked off May 2 over pay and the threat of artificial intelligence, has brought US film and television production to a halt.&nbsp;

Writers have been joined on the picket lines since last month by the much larger Screen Actors Guild (SAG-AFTRA) -- including A-list stars such as Sean Penn -- ramping up pressure on the likes of Disney and Netflix to return to negotiations.

Studios "reached out to the WGA today and requested a meeting this Friday to discuss negotiations," the union said in an email to members on Tuesday.

"We'll be back in communication with you sometime after the meeting with further information."

The first Hollywood "double strike" by writers and actors in six decades has meant movie productions are shut down, glitzy premieres are scrapped, and events such as the Emmys are delayed as stars are banned from promoting TV shows.

The strikes are costing the entertainment industry and the California economy several million dollars per day.

Writers are demanding higher pay and a greater share of profits from the boom in streaming, while studios say they must cut costs to cope with economic pressures.

Other major disagreements include the growing trend for TV shows to hire fewer writers, for shorter durations, to script series -- and studios' refusal to offer protection against the future use of artificial intelligence in writing.

While writers appear poised to return to talks, actors remains at an impasse with studios, which are represented by the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (AMPTP).

"We have not heard from the AMPTP since July 12 when they told us they would not be willing to continue talks for quite some" time, SAG-AFTRA chief negotiator Duncan Crabtree-Ireland told trade outlet Deadline on Wednesday.

Artificial Intelligence could cut workload of radiologists in searching routine scans for breast cancer signs, a large study in Sweden suggested on Wednesday. The interim results were promising, but the authors cautioned that more research is needed before using AI for broader breast cancer screening.

What would the latest AI breakthrough mean for the human workforce engaged in the radiology and related medical works, remains unclear.

In 2020, over 2.3 million women were diagnosed with breast cancer and 685,000 deaths were attributed to breast cancer, according to World Health Organization.&nbsp;

<h2>How the study was conducted?</h2>

The medical community has been repeatedly asserting since long that regular screening is crucial for early cancer detection.

The current study involved 80,000 mammograms from four sites in southwest Sweden between April 2021 and July last year.

The AI-supported system predicted 20 per cent more cancers, reducing the workload for radiologists by 44 per cent, as only one person was needed to read the scans instead of two.

<h2>What next?</h2>

Despite the promising results, the study's lead author said that more time and research are needed before implementing AI in mammography screening. The trial will assess AI's impact on reducing interval cancers, detected between routine screenings, over the next two years.

When you're not feeling very well you would most probably pay your doctor a visit. But what if your doctor is not a person but a technology? Artificial Intelligence has transformed the healthcare industry in many ways from screening to diagnosing. AI has reshaped the medical industry, but will you trust AI to be your doctor? As per statistics in 2022 the International Medical AI Market was valued at more than four billion dollars it is expected to grow by nearly a quarter annually over the next decade.

With each development in the field of AI fears regarding the dangers of the potential of artificial intelligence seem to be on the rise. Many government agencies and Tech Giants are in the process of regulating and safeguarding AI and now the US senators were alarmed about artificial intelligence potential used to create a biological weapon.

Is Artificial Intelligence a threat?

The rise of Artificial Intelligence is all set to revolutionise the nature of work. But this could also be bad news for women workers in the United States. A Mckinsey report states that more American women are more likely to lose their jobs by the end of this decade, compared to men, due to the rise of AI and automation.

Will AI snatch jobs from women? | World Business Watch

According to a recent report by the McKinsey Global Institute, more women are likely to lose their jobs by the next decade, as industries shrink due to swift progress in generative artificial intelligence (AI) and automation technology.

With the rapid development of AI, it is predicted that about a third of the working hours across the US economy could be automated by 2030. Industries like customer service, office support and food services are expected to shrink further while the demand for STEM, construction, creative, legal and business professionals will be on the rise.

The report said that about 12 million people will have to abandon shrinking occupations by 2030. The economy may shift in favour of higher-paying jobs, with workers in lower-paying jobs 14 times more likely to switch careers in comparison to those with higher-paying jobs.

Women are 1.5 times more likely than men to change jobs as they are overrepresented in the rapidly shrinking customer service, office support and food service industries, as per the report by McKinsey.

The report added that occupational shifts can be traced back to the Covid-19 pandemic when the US labour market saw 8.6 million changing their jobs.

Based on the report, the impact of AI on women’s jobs can be identified under five broad categories.

1. More women to lose their present jobs

Women make up for a major portion of workers who fall under the lowest wage quintiles (those who earn between $30,800 to $38,200 and less in a year). With the office support and customer service industries shrinking, women engaged in these industries are more likely to lose their jobs by 2030. These shrinking industries presently employ those with relatively less education, including women and people of colour, with Black and Hispanic workers being highly concentrated in production work and food services.

2. Women may be encouraged to stick to family obligations

Looking back at the pandemic, more women left the workforce than men and it took about three years for the number of working women to come on par with the pre-pandemic workforce in the US. Women engaged in lower-wage work often have family obligations, which may discourage them from switching careers and trying a new occupation.

3. Women may need to switch industries

While food, customer and office service industries continue to shrink due to AI, former male dominated fields like construction are facing labour shortages. These gaps can be filled by women, addressing issues regarding diversity in construction. With the US population ageing, there is also an increasing demand for health-care workers which is was also attributed by the structural changes brought about by the pandemic. “We anticipate that the two fastest-growing occupations through the end of this decade will be nurses and home healthcare aides,” the authors said in the report.

4. Women may require to upskill

In order to switch careers, women need to add new skills to their existing skill set. This calls for training programs, effective job matching, different hiring and training practices by employers. Additionally, education among women needs to be prioritised.

5. More women could potentially engage in higher paying jobs

“While our analysis shows a decrease of 1.1 million jobs in the two lowest wage quintiles by 2030, jobs in the highest wage quintile could grow sharply, by 3.8 million,” the authors said. In that respect, although training workers for a desired skill set is difficult for employers, there are chances to recruit from "overlooked populations", including workers without college degrees and workers with employment gaps. This could potentially indicate an increase the number of women employed in higher-paying jobs.

With the US population ageing, there is also an increasing demand for health-care workers which is was also attributed by the structural changes brought about by the pandemic. “We anticipate that the two fastest-growing occupations through the end of this decade will be nurses and home healthcare aides,” the authors said in the report. 4. Women may require to upskill In order to switch careers, women need to add new skills to their existing skill set. This calls for training programs, effective job matching, different hiring and training practices by employers. Additionally, education among women needs to be prioritised. 5. More women could potentially engage in higher paying jobs “While our analysis shows a decrease of 1.1 million jobs in the two lowest wage quintiles by 2030, jobs in the highest wage quintile could grow sharply, by 3.8 million,” the authors said. In that respect, although training workers for a desired skill set is difficult for employers, there are chances to recruit from "overlooked populations", including workers without college degrees and workers with employment gaps. This could potentially indicate an increase the number of women employed in higher-paying jobs. WATCH WION LIVE HERE

Artificial Intelligence to impact more women than men in the US. Here's why 

AI is becoming good at many human jobs leading to many fearing that AI will ultimately one day replace human workers throughout the economy. To tackle these concerns, the world's top artificial intelligence companies have launched a new industry body to regulate the development of AI. Google, Microsoft OpenAi and Anthropic have announced the formation of Frontier Model Forum.

Both Democrat and Republican senators have sounded the alarm on the potential malevolent use of artificial intelligence (AI) to develop biological weapons. The bipartisan alarm was raised during a hearing by the&nbsp;Senate Judiciary Committee on Tuesday (July 25).&nbsp;

Subcommittee chair Richard Blumenthal, a Democrat raised concerns and said the aim of the hearing was to bring in laws that could help avoid the worst-case scenario.&nbsp;

"The experts building these systems are warning of human extinction.&nbsp;The goal for this hearing is to lay the ground for legislation. To go from general principles to specific recommendations. To use this hearing to write laws,"&nbsp;Blumenthal said in his opening remarks.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Republican Senator Josh Hawley called for safeguards&nbsp;"that will ensure this new technology is actually good for the American people."

At the hearing, Dario Amodei, the CEO of Anthropic, warned that while AI is not quite capable yet, it may someday potentially aid non-state actors in creating biological weapons.

"Certain steps in bioweapons production involve knowledge that can't be found on Google or in textbooks and requires a high level of expertise," said&nbsp;Amodei.&nbsp;

"We found that today's AI tools can fill in some of these steps. By enabling many more actors to carry out large-scale biological attacks, we believe this represents a grave threat to US national security," he added.&nbsp;

US senators sound alarm on AI helping non-state actors develop biological weapons

Sam Altman, the founder of Openai, has started a new project, which can gift crypto tokens by scanning human beings. The project is called world coin, and it aims to provide a unique world id to humans. That will be done by scanning a human eyeball using Worldcoin's 'orb', a silver ball about the size of a bowling ball.

After over 40 years of Agrentina's mass abduction of babies during the military dictatorship in the 1970s and 1980s, an Artificial Intelligence artist posted pictures of how the kids would look now, with&nbsp;the hope to reunite them with their families.&nbsp;

The images of a man and a woman were shared on Instagram by an account called IAbuelas by Santiago Barros, the creator. He&nbsp;came up with the idea last year after discovering the Midjourney AI tool, Rest of World reported.&nbsp;

The images were created by splicing photos of the child's parents using Midjourney and then applying the age filter. The end product is a photorealistic portrait of the person in his or her in their current possible look in late forties.&nbsp;

Barros took images from the online archive of Grandmothers for the Plaza de Mayo, an organisation founded by the grandmothers of the kids kidnapped. The grandmothers earlier used to stand outside kindergartens, waiting for their disappeared grandkids.&nbsp;

Clarifying no connection with IAbuelas, the organisation reached out to Barros and published a joint statement saying that it is just an AI art project.&nbsp;

'They are waiting for you'

In a conversation with the Rest of World, Barros said that this is not just important for his family, but for others too. "That's what most important to me- for it to fell like they are looking at you, waiting for you to do something."

However, the images lack credibility. This is because of a "lack of data," as the military kidnapped the kids immediately after their birth and even the gender of many babies wasn't verified, the report said.&nbsp;

The images displayed by IAbeula are not a clear representation of Argentina's ethnic diversity, nor the imperfections that come with age.

"The app tends to show hegemonic portraits," Barros said. "For example, making everyone very thin … I’m working to make the images more diverse, more representative of what Argentines truly are."

Despite the project’s limits, the Grandmothers of the Plaza de Mayo appreciated the spirit behind IAbuelas. It may also use AI portraits for its promotional material.&nbsp;

Barros hopes that his project might do some good amid decades of often fruitless search. He said, "If there’s at least one person that’s inspired by the project and calls the Grandmothers to ask about his or her identity, this will have been all worth it."

AI reimagines babies abducted in Argentina's 1970s dictatorship era to help find them

Photo apps digitally undressing women, sexualized text-to-image prompts creating "AI girls" and manipulated images fueling "sextortion" rackets -- a boom in deepfake porn is outpacing US and European efforts to regulate the technology.

Artificial intelligence-enabled deepfakes are typically associated with fake viral images of well-known personalities such as Pope Francis in a puffer coat or Donald Trump under arrest, but experts say they are more widely used for generating non-consensual porn that can destroy ordinary lives.

Women are a particular target of AI tools and apps -- widely available for free and requiring no technical expertise -- that allow users to digitally strip off clothing from their pictures, or insert their faces into sexually explicit videos.

"The rise of AI-generated porn and deepfake porn normalizes the use of a woman's image or likeness without her consent," Sophie Maddocks, a researcher at the University of Pennsylvania tracking image-based sexual abuse, told AFP.

"What message do we send about consent as a society when you can virtually strip any woman?"

In a tearful video, an American Twitch streamer who goes by QTCinderella lamented the "constant exploitation and objectification" of women as she became the victim of deepfake porn. She was harassed, she added, by people sending her copies of the deepfakes depicting her.

The scandal erupted in January during a livestream by fellow streamer Brandon Ewing, who was caught looking at a website that contained deepfaked sexual images of several women including QTCinderella.

"It's not as simple as 'just' being violated. It's so much more than that," she wrote on Twitter, adding that the experience had "ruined" her.

<h2>'Hyper-real'</h2>

The proliferation of online deepfakes underscores the threat of AI-enabled disinformation, which can damage reputations and lead to bullying or harassment.

While celebrities such as singer Taylor Swift and actress Emma Watson have been victims of deepfake porn, women not in the public eye are also targeted.

American and European media are filled with first-hand testimonies of women -- from academics to activists -- who were shocked to discover their faces in deepfake porn.

Some 96 percent of deepfake videos online are non-consensual pornography, and most of them depict women, according to a 2019 study by the Dutch AI company Sensity.

"The previously private act of sexual fantasy, which takes place inside someone's mind, is now transferred to technology and content creators in the real world," Roberta Duffield, director of intelligence at Blackbird.AI, told AFP.

"The ease of access and lack of oversight -- alongside the growing professionalization of the industry -- entrenches these technologies into new forms of exploiting and diminishing women." 
Among a new crop of text-to-art generators are free apps that can create "hyper-real AI girls" -- avatars from real photos, customizing them with prompts such as "dark skin" and "thigh strap."

New technologies such as Stable Diffusion, an open-source AI model developed by Stability AI, have made it possible to conjure up realistic images from text descriptions.

<h2>'Dark corner'</h2>

The tech advancements have given rise to what Duffield called an "expanding cottage industry" around AI-enhanced porn, with many deepfake creators taking paid requests to generate content featuring a person of the customer's choice.

Last month, the FBI issued a warning about "sextortion schemes," in which fraudsters capture photos and videos from social media to create "sexually themed" deepfakes that are then used to extort money.

The victims, the FBI added, included minor children and non-consenting adults.

The proliferation of AI tools has outstripped regulation.

"This is not some dark corner of the internet where these images are being created and shared," Dan Purcell, chief executive and founder of the AI brand protection company Ceartas, told AFP.

"It's right under our noses. And yes, the law needs to catch up."

In Britain, the government has proposed a new Online Safety Bill that seeks to criminalize the sharing of pornographic deepfakes.

Four US states, including California and Virginia, have outlawed the distribution of deepfake porn, but victims often have little legal recourse if the perpetrators live outside these jurisdictions.

In May, a US lawmaker introduced the Preventing Deepfakes of Intimate Images Act that would make sharing non-consensual deepfake pornography illegal.

Popular online spaces such as Reddit have also sought to regulate its burgeoning AI porn communities.

"The internet is one jurisdiction with no borders, and there needs to be a unified international law to protect people against this form of exploitation," Purcell said.

The White House said on Friday (July 21) that OpenAI and other tech giants in the artificial intelligence race have committed that they would make their technology safer with features like watermarks on fabricated images.&nbsp;

"These commitments, which the companies have chosen to undertake immediately, underscore three principles that must be fundamental to the future of AI -- safety, security, and trust -- and mark a critical step toward developing responsible AI," the White House said in a release.

Later on Friday, representatives from Amazon, Anthropic, Google, Inflection, Meta,&nbsp;Microsoft and Open AI were due to join&nbsp;US President Joe Biden to announce the commitments. These include developing &nbsp;"robust technical mechanisms" like watermarking systems to ensure that users get to know which content is AI-generated.

There are worries that images or audios generated by artificial intelligence will be used to deceive people and to commit fraud along with spreading misinformation as the tech improves in the run up to 2024 US Presidential Election.

Ways to tell when audio or imagery have been generated artificially are being sought to prevent people from being duped by fakes that look or sound real.

"They're committing to setting up a broader regime towards making it easier for consumers to know whether content is AI-generated or not," a White House official said, as quoted by AFP

"There is technical work to be done, but the point here is that it applies to audio and visual content, and it will be part of a broader system."

The White House has said that commitments these companies have made include independent testing of AI systems for risks &nbsp;when it comes to biosecurity, cybersecurity, or "societal effects."

Common Sense Media, a review and rating organisation commended the White House for its "commitment to establishing critical policies to regulate AI technology," according to its chief execurtive James Steyer.

"That said, history would indicate that many tech companies do not actually walk the walk on a voluntary pledge to act responsibly and support strong regulations."

In a dimly lit recording studio in Seoul, producers at the K-pop&nbsp;music&nbsp;label&nbsp;that brought the world-hit boy group BTS is using artificial intelligence to meld a South Korean singer's voice with those of native speakers in five other languages.

The technology enabled&nbsp;HYBE, South Korea's largest&nbsp;music&nbsp;label, to release a track by singer MIDNATT in six languages – Korean, English, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese and Vietnamese in May.

Some K-pop&nbsp;singers have released songs in English and Japanese in addition to their native Korean, but applying the new technology for a simultaneous six-language release is a global first, according to&nbsp;HYBE, and could pave the way for it to be used by more&nbsp;popular acts.

"We would first listen to the reaction, the voice of the fans, then decide what our next steps should be," said Chung Wooyong, the head of&nbsp;HYBE's interactive media arm in an interview at the company's studio.

Lee Hyun, 40, known as MIDNATT, who speaks only limited English and Chinese in addition to Korean, recorded the song "Masquerade" in each language.

Native speakers read out the lyrics, and later the two were seamlessly combined with the help of&nbsp;HYBE's in-house AI&nbsp;music&nbsp;technology, Chung said.

The song is the latest sign of the growing influence of AI in the&nbsp;music&nbsp;industry at a time when the Grammy Awards have introduced new rules for the technology's use and AI-generated mash-ups of songs are flooding social media.

"We divided a piece of sound into different components – pronunciation, timbre, pitch and volume," Chung said. "We looked at pronunciation which is associated with tongue movement and used our imagination to see what kind of outcome we could make using our technology."

In a before-and-after comparison shown to Reuters, an elongated vowel sound was added to the word "twisted" in the English lyrics, for example, to sound more natural while no detectable change was made to the singer's voice.

Using deep learning powered by the Neural Analysis and Synthesis (NANSY) framework developed by Supertone makes the song sound more natural than using non-AI software, Supertone chief operating officer Choi Hee-doo said.

HYBE&nbsp;announced the 45 billion won ($36 million) acquisition of Supertone in January.&nbsp;HYBE&nbsp;said it planned to make some of the AI technology used in MIDNATT's song accessible to creators and the public, but did not specify if it would charge fees.

'IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE'

MIDNATT said using AI had allowed him a "wider spectrum of artistic expressions."

"I feel that the language barrier has been lifted and it's much easier for global fans to have an immersive experience with my&nbsp;music," he said in a statement.

While the technology is not new, it is an innovative way to use AI in&nbsp;music, said Valerio Velardo, director of The Sound of AI, a Spain-based consulting service for AI&nbsp;music&nbsp;and audio.

Not only professional&nbsp;musicians but also a wider&nbsp;population will benefit from AI&nbsp;music&nbsp;technology in the long term, Velardo said.

"It's going to lower the barrier of&nbsp;music&nbsp;creation. It's a little bit like Instagram for pictures but in the case of&nbsp;music."

For now,&nbsp;HYBE's pronunciation correction technology takes "weeks or months" to do its job but when the process speeds up, it could serve a wider range of purposes such as interpreting in video conferences, said Choi Jin-woo, the producer of MIDNATT's "Masquerade" who goes by the name Hitchhiker.

Delhi prison authorities have announced the installation of Artificial Intelligence-based CCTV cameras within prison premises. The purpose is to bolster security measures and address blind spots where traditional cameras are not yet installed, reported the Hindustan Times.

These blind spots have been exploited by incarcerated criminals to engage in illegal activities, such as smuggling contraband items and communicating through unauthorised mobile phones.

<h2>Reinforcing security against mobile phone usage</h2>

In response to the rampant use of mobile phones by inmates, Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal approved the formation of an expert committee comprising ten members, led by the director general of prisons. This committee's primary task is to select the most effective signal jammers capable of preventing inmates from using mobile devices inside Delhi's jails.

Delhi houses three major prison complexes: Tihar, the Rohini complex, and the Mandoli complex, accommodating approximately 13,000 inmates collectively. The surge in illegal mobile phone usage within the prison walls, often smuggled in through various means, has necessitated stricter security protocols.

According to a senior Delhi Police officer, an alarming average of 10 mobile phones are illicitly smuggled into Tihar jail every day. Visitors of inmates have been found to be the primary means of smuggling these devices, using ingenious methods such as concealing them in food plates or packets of clothing.

Previously, efforts to install mobile phone jammers within Tihar prison faced resistance from nearby residents' welfare associations. They frequently complained about network disruptions and inconsistent connectivity resulting from the jammers' operation.

Next-gen surveillance: This Indian prison is adopting AI-powered CCTV cameras

The majestic woolly mammoth went extinct over 4,000 years ago,&nbsp;however, they continue to captivate the imaginations of biologists and enthusiasts to date.&nbsp;

What if modern science manages to pull them back to Earth using Artificial Intelligence and elephant behaviour?

Fueling this fascination is a daring ambition by the US biotech startup Colossal, known as the "de-extinction company," which has set its sights on bringing back the woolly mammoth through genetic engineering.

The plan is to create a hybrid of the Asian elephant and the mammoth, which will be introduced to the Arctic tundra. While the project has received substantial financial backing, it has also attracted both curiosity and scientific scepticism.

<h2>Lots of challenges to overcome</h2>

To achieve success, Colossal must overcome numerous challenges, including crafting the animal's genetic sequence, successfully fertilising an egg, and then nurturing the hybrid.&nbsp;

However, the real test lies beyond birth, as scientists grapple with the question of how these creatures will thrive in the wild—a puzzle that may take a lifetime or more to solve.&nbsp;

To address this, Colossal is seeking guidance from other animals, specifically a group of elephants in Botswana.

<h2>Startup joins hands with an elephant&nbsp;organisation</h2>

The startup has joined forces with Elephant Havens, a wildlife foundation situated in the Okavango Delta, devoted to caring for orphaned elephants.

Elephant Havens, founded in 2017, will collaborate extensively with Colossal to gather data using artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse the elephants' behaviour, coupled with genomic data for each elephant.&nbsp;

“We’ll be able to mix the art of the elephant handlers with the science of today,” said Matt James, chief animal officer at Colossal.

Colossal aims to combine the expertise of Elephant Havens with AI modelling and genetic data to deepen their understanding of elephant behaviour. This knowledge will be instrumental in the eventual rewilding of the woolly mammoth hybrids.

<h2>How crucial is AI in the de-extinction process?</h2>

AI plays a crucial role in this animal research endeavour. Colossal's founder, Ben Lamm, acknowledges, “Some of these technologies we take for granted in corporate America or in defence could be directly applied and have a meaningful impact on conservation,” he said. “These tools aren’t in the hands of the people that really need them,” he added.
