If a study is to be believed, Artificial intelligence (AI) can learn to identify vulnerabilities in human habits and behaviours and use them to influence human decision-making. The recent study shows AI is learning more about how to work with or on humans. &nbsp;

The truth is that AI is transforming every aspect of the way we live and work. From vaccine development, environmental management to office administration, various forms of AI are at work in diverse fields.&nbsp;

Although AI does not possess human-like intelligence and emotions, its capabilities are rapidly increasing. It is turning out to be very powerful.&nbsp;

The recent discovery highlights the power of AI and underscores the need for proper governance to prevent misuse. There is still no need to worry about a machine takeover just yet. &nbsp;

A researcher team of the data and digital arm of Australia's national science agency CSIRO's Data61, devised a systematic method of finding and exploiting vulnerabilities in the ways people make choices. It used a kind of AI system, which is called a recurrent neural network and deep reinforcement-learning. &nbsp;

To test their model, they organised three experiments in which human participants played games against a computer. &nbsp;

In every experiment, the machine learnt from the responses of the participants and identified and targeted vulnerabilities in people's decision-making. In the end, result was that the machine learnt to steer participants towards particular actions.

The Supreme Court on Wednesday asked the Central government for details of the decision-making process in the Rafale deal.&nbsp;

PTI reported that the <a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/supreme-court-to-hear-new-pil-challenging-rafale-deal-on-wednesday-170170">court asked for the details</a> in a sealed cover, while clarifying that it did not want information on the deal's pricing and technical details.&nbsp;

The opposition has accused the Narendra Modi-led government of corruption in the Rafale deal.&nbsp;&nbsp;

An original deal to buy 126 Rafale fighter planes from France's Dassault Aviation had been brokered by the UPA government. Then, in 2015, Modi signed a new government-to-government deal with then French president Francois Hollande to buy 36 of the planes.&nbsp;

The opposition — led by Congress president Rahul Gandhi — says the NDA government is paying three times as much as the UPA government had agreed to pay for every Rafale. The opposition has also accused the government of crony capitalism.&nbsp;

According to India's defence acquisition rules, a foreign company making a large sale to India has to funnel 30% of the money paid to it back into India. That by definition requires it to have an Indian partner or partners.&nbsp;

The original Indian partner in the Rafale deal was the public sector HAL (Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd). But HAL was turfed out of the new deal, in favour of Anil Ambani's Reliance Defence which has little to no experience in the defence and aerospace industries.&nbsp;

The government had earlier said it was Dassault which chose Reliance and they had nothing to do with it but Hollande, while on a trip to India, recently&nbsp;said it was the Indian government which had suggested Reliance's name.&nbsp;

The Supreme court was on Wednesday hearing various petitions against the Rafale deal. The petitions seek directions from the&nbsp;top court, including asking the Centre to reveal details of the Rafale deal and the comparative prices of the deals brokered by the UPA and the NDA governments.&nbsp;

The Supreme Court bench hearing the petitions on Wednesday comprised Chief Justice Ranjan Gogoi and Justices SK Kaul and KM Joseph.&nbsp;
