India is a developing country where technology has become a necessity nowadays . With increasing technology rate of increasing like data leakage,cyberbullying and other privacy risks . On other side Social media had played a significant role in raising voice of public .
Social Media helped some missing ones to their loved ones
Social Media has played a significant for making possible for some missing children to their parents through viral messages
Social media as a helping hand for students
Students are able to access ,connect raise their voice and make awareness and drawn the attention of governing bodies to take concern of youth . Either fee hike in JNU or riots in colleges like jamia . Students are future of country and their voice matter the most . Students protest on Twitter takes as hashtags
Social media as a tool for government to messege the public
Twitter is playing a significant roles for making some official announcers by givernment Twitter handles .
Social Media marketing as a tool
The social media is not more social it has become comercial media where during peoples build their business sell ,inform their product on social media. Various companies promote their application softwares through social media as social media is modern easy to connect mode for costumer and seller
Hence the point to be admitted is social media has become a part of our lives
Artificial intelligence is wide range of computer science concerned with building machines which are capable of performing tasks that requires human intelligence. AI is science with multiple approaches, but advancements in Machine Learning also Deep Learning are creating a shift in every sector of the tech industry
HOW DOES ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WORK?
CAN MACHINES THINK? ALAN TURING (1950)
Less then a decade breaking Nazi encryption machine Enigma helping Allied Forces in Second World War, mathematician Alan Turing changed history second time with simple question: “Can machines think?
At its core AI is branch of computer science which aims to answer Turing’s question in affirmative. It is endeavor to simulate human intelligence in machines. The expansive goal of artificial intelligence has given rise to answer many questions and debates.
Limitation in defining AI as simply “building machines that are intelligent” which does not actually explain what artificial intelligence is?
What Makes a Machine Intelligent?
In Groundbreaking textbook of Artificial Intelligence: A modern Approach, authors such as Stuart Russell and Peter approach the question by unifying their work with theme of intelligent in machines. With keeping this in mind, AI is “study of agents that receive accepts from environment and perform actions.
Russell go on to explore four approaches which are historicially defined in AI field:
Thinking humanly
Thinking rationally
Acting humanly
Acting rationally
First two ideas concern thought processes and reasoning while others deal with deal with behavior. Russell focus particularly on rational agents that act to achieve best outcome, skills are required for Turing Test which allows agent act rationally.
Patrick Winston, Ford professor of artificial intelligence and computer science at MIT, defines AI as enabled algorithms by constraints, exposed representations which support models at loops which is tie thinking, action together, perception.
These definitions seem abstract to average person, helps to focus in the field of computer science also provide blueprint for machines as well as programs with machine Learning and different subsets of artificial intelligence.
While addressing crowd at Japan AI Experience in 2017, Data Robot CEO of Jeremy began speech by offering following definition of how AI is used today:
“AI is computer system which perform tasks required by human intelligence. Many of the artificial intelligence systems are powered with help of machine learning, some of them are powered with deep Learning were some of them powered by rules.
HOW AI IS USED
Artificial intelligence consists of two categories:
*Narrow AI: It is sometimes referred as “Weak AI, ” this type of artificial intelligence operates in a limited context and is simulation of human intelligence. Narrow AI focuses on performing single task extremely well and while machines seem intelligent, they are operating for more constraints and limitations which even most basic human intelligence
Artificial General Intelligence : Artificial General Intelligence sometimes referred as “Strong AI,” which is kind of artificial intelligence which is found in movies, like robots from West world or Data from Star Trek: The Next Generation, AGI is machine with general intelligence which is like human being which applies intelligence to solve any problem.
Examples of ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
Smart assistants (Examples like Alexa , Siri)
Prediction tools and Disease mapping
Manufacturing Robots
Robo advisors for trading
Spam filters on email
NARROW Artificial Intelligence
Narrow AI is all around us which is easily most successful realization of artificial intelligence to date. It focus on doing specific tasks, it has experienced numerous breakthroughs in last decade which have significant societal benefits and contributed to economic vitality of nation preparing for Future of artificial intelligence 2016 report released Obama Administration.
Few Examples of Narrow AI include:
Google Search
Image recognition software
Self driving cars
IBM’s Watson
MACHINE LEARNING & DEEP LEARNING
Narrow AI is powered by using machine Learning and deep learning techniques. Understanding difference between artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep Learning could be confusing. Frank Chen provides good overview to distinguish between them nothing but
“Human intelligence became mimic due to artificial intelligence”. Machine learning is one of it , and deep Learning is also part of machine learning techniques”
Machine Learning feeds a computer data for using statistical techniques which help it learn how to get progress better at task, without having specifically programmed for task, eliminating need for millions lines of written code. Machine Learning consists of both supervised and unsupervised learning
Deep Learning is type of machine Learning which runs input through biologically inspired neural network. Neural networks contains hidden layer through which data is processed, allowing machine to go “deep” and making connections and waiting for best input results
ARTIFICIAL GENERAL INTELLIGENCE
Creation of machine with human intelligence which can be applied to task is Holy Grail for AI researchers, but quest for AGI has brought difficulty.AGI has long been muse of science fiction, in which super intelligent robots overrun humanity, but experts agree that it is not something we need to worry anytime soon
HISTORY OF AI
Robots and artificial first appeared in ancient Greek myths of Antiquity. Aristotle’s development of syllogism and it’s use of deductive reasoning was a key moment in man kind quest to understand its intelligence. While roots are long, deep, history of artificial intelligence we think of it today spans less than century. Following above is history of AI from 1950 to 2017. It is seven decades of Artificial intelligence. Many changes have developed in these seven decades. AI has grown a lot. It has raised from Human Level of thinking to Machine Level of thinking.
Over the past years, China have undergone the robotic revolution. China being the epicentre of the pandemic , had no other option but to use robots for purposes like disinfecting hospitals, enforcing quarantine restrictions and in delivering food. All over the world , it can be seen how the Pandemic drastically shifted to Automation. In South Korea, Robots are being used to measure temperatures and in distributing hand sanitizers to lower the risk of Covid-19.
China would account for around 45% of the total robotic shipment by the year 2021,as compared to 39% in 2019.China has planned to upgrade to nation’s manufacturing technologies through the Made In China 2025 campaign. China counts for nearly 800 robots makers , like SIASUN and DJI.Since wagers would no longer be cheap, it would be a good option to switch to robots, where they can work for 24 hours shifts. Though Robots might prove out to be expensive initially, but in the long run they will be profitable.
Chinese Apps like “Meituan Dianping” , where autonomous vehicles are used for local delivery services. More and more people have now switched on to using it , even for non-food items making it China’s Biggest Food Delivery App. During the pandemic, Meituan Dianping even started selling mobile phones. Meanwhile, Companies Operation have taken a hit, and in order for it to get back to track ,robots are preferred over manual workforce. To speed up the process of faster “testing”, Senova ,the German developer have scaled up the productions of the rapid test systems.
In a video getting viral on social media, it seen how a robot was put in use at quarantine hotels in Beijing.Different robots were allocated for each floors , the robots would dial the people’s landline while waiting outside the door. Standardised Food would then be delivered to their doorsteps , and the guests have to collect the food from the Robot’s belly.
Types Of Robots
China’s latest invention , the Giant Robotic Arm have be termed by the scientists as “Zero Gravity” , owing to its smooth operations. With the help of AI , and sensors it would be able to lift heavy objects , and could prove to be a miracle in China’s endeavours to space.
Danish Manufacturer of UV disinfection robots , have seen a sudden surge in robots. The machines destroy the DNA or RNA of any microorganisms. Since the rays could prove out to be harmful for human, it’s been controlled by someone far-off with the help of remote.
Robotic unit, “The Blade Formation” is the newest invention by China, designed specially to take control of situations impossible for mankind .This include assisting in the fire fighting missions,, combustible gas detection, on-site rescue because of 360 degree vision, image and sound collection.
Chinese have created “Micro Robots”. They claim of having turned a gas bubble into a robot, but only in a water-rich environment capable of fabricating artificial tissues, or moresoover modifying a embryo. It can be used for biological research, tissue .
Likeable or Unlikeable, Netizens of China have to accept the Robot culture. China is all set to become the world’s most influential tech country. The robots would be the new force replacing human power in all aspects.
The subject of empowerment of women has becoming a burning issue all over the world including India since last few decades. Many agencies of United Nations in their reports have emphasized that gender issue is to be given utmost priority. It is held that women now cannot be asked to wait for any more for equality.
Inequalities between men and women and discrimination against women have also been age-old issues all over the world. Thus, women’s quest for equality with man is a universal phenomenon. What exists for men is demanded by women?
They have demanded equality with men in matters of education, employment, inheritance, marriage, politics and recently in the field of religion also to serve as cleric (in Hinduism and Islam). Women want to have for themselves the same strategies of change which menfolk have had over the centuries such as equal pay for equal work. Their quest for equality has given birth to the formation of many women’s associations and launching of movements.
#feminism
The position and status of women all over the world has risen incredibly in the 20th century. We find that it has been very low in 18th and 19th centuries in India and elsewhere when they were treated like ‘objects’ that can be bought and sold. For a long time women in India remained within the four walls of their household. Their dependence on menfolk was total.
A long struggle going back over a century has brought women the property rights, voting rights, an equality in civil rights before the law in matters of marriage and employment (in India women had not to struggle for voting rights as we find in other countries).
In addition to the above rights, in India, the customs of purdha (veil system), female infanticide, child marriage, sati system (self-immolation by the women with their husbands), dowry system and the state of permanent widowhood were either totally removed or checked to an appreciable extent after independence through legislative measures.
#women_empowerment
Two Acts have also been enacted to emancipate women in India. These are: Protection of Women from Domestic Violence Act, 2005 and the Compulsory Registration of Marriage Act, 2006. The Domestic Violence Act recognizes that abuse be physical as well as mental.
Anything that makes a woman feel inferior and takes away her self-respect is abuse. Compulsory Registration of Marriage Act can be beneficial in preventing the abuse of institution of marriage and hindering social justice especially in relation to women.
It would help the innumerable women in the country who get abandoned by their husbands and have no means of proving their marital status. It would also help check child marriages, bigamy and polygamy, enable women to seek maintenance and custody of their children and widows can claim inheritance rights. The Act is applicable on all women irrespective of caste, creed or religion. It would truly empower Indian women to exercise their rights.
To what extent legislative measures have been able to raise the status of women in India? Are women now feel empowered in the sense that they are being equally treated by men in all spheres of life and are able to express one’s true feminine urges and energies? These are the important questions to be investigated with regard to women’s empowerment in India.
Knowledge is power! There is ample of knowledge one can learn and even then it wouldn’t be enough. The more knowledge you have the more you realise that how much you don’t. Knowledge is that deep ocean where one goes and never get the end result as it’s beyond our imagination! The deeper you go the more you get introduced to the new things and such is in case of knowledge. Knowledge can be learned anywhere, anytime, and by anyone. The sanity of people is checked through their knowledge and wisdom. People should know how to acquire knowledge and how genuinely they can use it to earn good sum of money. Knowledge can be categorised into two forms- The bookish knowledge and the practical or the general knowledge. Both are important at their part of time. A person gets success in either ways, Even through bookish knowledge or from practical knowledge! Both tends to serve success at peak. Speaking about both then both seemed to earn a good living and allows one to grow wealthy.
Let’s talk about which serves when and how longer one can rely on them in respective fields!!
●Comparison of Bookish knowledge and Practical knowledge.
From the primary sections of our school we are taught to learn from the books. And there starts our journey of getting habituated to mugging up. Our education system checks our memory and not how well we gained knowledge, the obvious reasons for exams. Children’s are slowly turning into bookworms and that is not at all their fault, that is how they have been taught to and so is the reasons why people easily tops these exams but fails the actual exam of something really important than that called life. Yes I know that there is no possible way of inventing a rocket science out of nowhere without having the theoretical knowledge or say the bookish knowledge. One has actually experimented and gave it as a theory, a fact, a norm!! Bookish knowledge helps us add more knowledge. It’s an additional thing as a primary part of our life. But bookish knowledge cannot help us experience the world. Practical knowledge is what let the person face the world. You can read as many books as you want but it is also you who have to apply it in the first place. Bookish knowledge will not teach you primary matters of life. We have to get experience to know how an ATM works likewise purchasing something in market has to do with your knowledge and not with the bookish knowledge. No books will serve you with these knowledge. It is you who has to use your common sense, and the presence of mind. A new born will first learn through his/her experience and noy through books. The basic step to face the world starts with that of experiencing things. Even the books we read are the experiences of someone which we are reading as theory. So altogether we can conclude that bookish knowledge will let you know about the world without actually experiencing things but the practical knowledge will let you survive the world and abundance everything!
Efforts are being made by several companies that are leading their way to develop quantum computing.IBM has developed a 53-bit qubit quantum computer. In October 2019 google officially declared that it has achieved quantum supremacy. There are several companies like Accenture, Microsoft, Atos Quantum and more which are leading their way to develop a feasible quantum computer and make them commercially available.
What is a Quantum computer and how it works?
Quantum physics describes how the atom work and the behaviour of the fundamental particles like electron and photons. Quantum computers operate on Quantum mechanics by controlling the behaviour of fundamental particles. It works on Quantum mechanics phenomena, such as Superposition and uncertainty principle and entanglement to perform the task. A simple computer works on bits (0 or 1) a simple computer can have an only one state at a time but a Quantum computer works on quantum bits(qubit) which can be a superposition of state. It can work parallel on different state at one time.
Over the century physicists have discovered that quantum particles behave weirdly. This led to the branch of physics known as a Quantum mechanics.
Quantum computer with the aid of qubits works on stimulating the behaviour of quantum particles existing in nature which makes Quantum computer way faster than Supercomputers.
Just like a spinning coin when it is in a spinning state we can’t determine whether it turns to head or tail i.e it is in both the states simultaneously. Similarly, qubits are in the same state i.e they can measure a number of possibilities at a time which makes Quantum computer way faster.
Entanglement is the other phenomenon which qubits are capable of doing. It is a physical relationship between qubits they seem to be known what happens to another even they are physically separated. If you measure one qubit (i.e., collapse its superposition to a single state, it will have the same impact on the others in the system.
That seems to be crazy right. Even no one can really understand how it works. Quantum computers have the potential to work on designing new medicines, developing new catalyst however it requires million of qubits whereas even a most sophisticated computer in the world today is made using 72 qubits claimed by google. Since qubits require temperature nearer to absolute zero which is the major roadblock in developing of quantum computers.
What things Quantum computer are capable of doing ?
Quantum computers are really fast and efficient. This computer will far more powerful even than the supercomputers. Quantum computers have the potential to solve the problem of global significance.
Quantum computers have a significance in designing medicines to fight disease because it works using the same quantum properties as the molecule is trying to stimulate. Reason being developing drugs is a challenging problem today because it’s really difficult to calculate all the quantum properties of all the atoms in the molecules even for supercomputers. So it can lead to treatments like Coronavirus which is affecting billions of lives.
Quantum computer with huge computational power is ideal to solve problems such as cybersecurity, Financial modelling, creating encryption methods and development in AI.
Quantum computer has recently set the record for finding prime number factors.
Companies are leading their way to developing and it still requires a lot of work.
There are some obstacles that seem impossible to overcome and we can’t predict anything right now. Let us see what gone happen in future.
Please let me know your thoughts in the comment below and have a wonderful day.
Welcome everyone today, we are going to know about the City of light. Do you have any guess about which city I am going to tell you about, well some of you have guessed right? The city of light is nor other than Paris.
It is the capital and most famous city in France. Paris is referred to as the City of light because, at the Age of Enlightenment, Paris was the one is first to use gas street lighting on a large scale on its masterpieces and streets. Paris is the most visited place in the world of course who doesn’t want to go to Paris. I love traveling, but I had never visited out of India if I would get to chance to visit Paris I would like to go to see the Eiffel Tower because this is the wish that I want to fulfill. I know some of you who are reading this article had visited Paris and some have not, so don’t get upset if you have not visited Paris one day will come you will surely visit Paris. So, I hope your wish come true.
You all have heard there is a bridge where the couples go and lock in the bridge, and throw the key into the water, well I feel that is the most romantic places in Paris. Recently the love locks have been removed from the bridge for some safety reasons.
So there are fun and romantic things we can do in Paris:-
1. If you are going to Paris use should taste their French food Because, in this city, you can have the delightful recipes to eat.
Wine at the Eiffel Tower in Paris, France
2. You must taste their wine while you visit in Paris, as they have excellent wines in the city.
3. You can do their camp as in camping you can see the whole gorgeous city. While camping, people can climb to Eiffel Tower, visit the Louvre from there you can see the whole city from those places. I can say that when you will visit those places you will have the most enjoyable and lively.
So these are the fun things you can experience in Paris.
There are some mind-blowing facts about Paris you must know.
First, In Paris, you can see only one stop sign. Yes it is real in Paris there were no other stop signs, and this stop sign is located at the exit of the building company drive.
Second, In Paris, it is difficult to find a Taxi and if you get a taxi, you have to pay nearly 200,000 Euros. Yes, you indeed have that much money with you to hire a Taxi.
Third, there is a Statue of Liberty in Paris. You must be thinking that the Statue of Liberty is in New York how it can be in Paris? But there is indeed a Statue of Liberty.
A bell on the tower of Notre-Dame Cathedral, Paris
Fourth, The bell which is of the Notre Dame Cathedral is about the weight over 13 tons. It means it is the weight of three big elephants. So these are the facts about Paris.
I hope you enjoyed this article, let me know have you attended Paris or not and what do you think about Paris.
Thank you for reading my article and have a nice day.
Global demand for luxury foods such as wagyu beef, bluefin tuna and caviar has plummeted into decline in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic, with thousands of restaurants shuttered.
The luxury food industry may be among the hardest affected because it depends heavily on restaurants and top hotels for ordering deluxe goods from caviar to champagne, because tight shutdown efforts to curb the epidemic ravage global economic activity. While some gourmet food manufacturers are specifically targeting customers to remain alive, some have been compelled to slash production since some goods have lost nearly half their value since the beginning of the year.
Jean-Marie Barillere, co-chairman of champagne producers’ lobby CIVC in France, said he hoped people would celebrate the easing of lockdown with a bottle of champagne, but expected a difficult end to the year. “This is really a period that looks like a war time,” he said.
Bookings data compiled by OpenTable, an online restaurant reservation service, showed this year a decline of nearly 80 percent year-on-year in seated restaurants in the United States, UK , Germany, Canada , Australia, Ireland and Mexico. Restaurants is among the world’s hardest-hit industries
“People will not want to taste a Chateau Petrus wine, a lobster or caviar under a bell jar,” said Michel Berthommier, managing director of Caviar Perlita in southwestern France. “If you force people to eat in these conditions they will prefer going to fast foods.”
Premium foods was “one of the worst hit sectors worldwide”, said Ole Houe, director of advisory services at agriculture brokerage IKON Commodities in Sydney. He said he did not expect a prompt recovery given many countries were in recession. Falling demand has already taken a toll on the prices of luxury items.
In Tokyo, the price of top-quality wagyu beef cuts fell around 30% from a year ago, bluefin tuna – deemed the best in Japan – fell more than 40% during that period, while Shizuoka’s popular ‘Earl’s melons’ prices dropped 30%. Russia’s largest breeding sturgeon business-Russian Caviar Shop-meanwhile gave Beluga hybrid caviar a 30 per cent discount.
“Spring and summer are always low seasons for the caviar market, but if we compare this period with previous years, the sales in Russia are down 50%,” said the firm’s owner Alexander Novikov.
In France, caviar prices languished near historic lows, champagne sales tumbled, while foie gras producers have had to cut output to prop up prices. Cifog, a foie gras producers’ group, said restaurants account for 40% of total foie gras sales. “Mid-March it felt like the sky had fallen on us,” said Florian Boucherie, who produces 2 tonnes of foie gras per year in France.
To plug the yawning gap left by eateries, many high-end food producers are attempting to reach consumers directly via e-commerce platforms. Others are steering more produce onto supermarket shelves. “We are accelerating our supply of products into some of the world’s largest supermarkets, gourmet butchers and direct to consumers online,” said Hugh Killen, chief executive of Australia’s largest listed beef producer, Australian Agricultural Company.
In Japan, top sushi chefs pay 400,000 yen ($3,737.97) for 10kg of the best cuts of tuna compared to the 25,000 yen paid by supermarkets for 10kg of lower value cuts, said Yukitaka Yamaguchi, owner of Yamayuki tuna brokerage at Toyosu Market in Tokyo. He said “the best part of (the) tuna” was usually sold first to high-end sushi restaurants but when these closed the “harakami had nowhere to go.” They eventually started offering high-quality tuna to fish retailers and supermarkets. For now, Yamaguchi has had to park plans to retire as he has accumulated debt during the pandemic. “I had planned to retire when I turn 60, but that’s no longer possible,” he said.
Due to forced slowdown in COVID-related consumption household savings are expected to spike in Q1’20-21. This will come in handy to finance the economy’s recovery, an RBI research paper said as it is the Indian economy’s most reliable and self-reliant source of capital.
In this time of layoffs and the economy is absolute turmoil, this research comes as a beacon of hope.In India, as compared t other countries saving has been considered very important, especially by middle-class families.Due to our mindset and traditional values saving has always been preferred over spending . In fact consumerism came very late to India in comparison with other countries that achieved independence from colonial powers around the same time that we did.A lot can be attributed to the fact that the standard of living in our country had been stagnant for a very long period of time.
Only in the last decade or two, the standard of living of masses have some how increased, this can be mainly attributed to increase in the country’s overall literacy rate, for both men as well as women and also rapid infrastructural development that we have witnessed since the turn of the century.One of the many policies of this government that played a major role in this would be the 1990 Economic Policies, this particular policy has drastically changed the prevalent economic structure of the country.One of the important implementations of the policy was the opening up of the country’s economy and integrating ourselves with the world economy.This created a healthy competition in the economy which motivated Indian firms to increase the quality of their product to be at par international standards
A spike in households’ net financial assets is likely due to a sharp drop in lockdown-induced consumption in the first quarter of 2020–21. According to the paper written by Anupam Prakash, Anand Prakash Ekka, Kunal Priyadarshi, Chaitali Bhowmick and Ishu Thakur of the RBI Department of Economic and Policy Research, several studies show that households tend to save more during a slowdown and income uncertainty.
After the nationwide lock-down to combat the COVID-19 pandemic, economists forecast an ever worse contraction of the Indian economy during FY’21. The paper also warns that lags in the pickup of economic activity may cause households’ financial surplus in subsequent quarters to taper off. With construction activity at a standstill, households are likely to move from physical assets such as residential property to financial assets such as deposits, currency, and mutual funds, and are more useful in financing businesses and the growth of the economy. At Rs 15.6 lakh crore, India’s net financial savings rose to 7.7 per cent in FY’20 as of March 2020 from 7.2 per cent in FY’19.
For the Indian economy, the report notes, the household sector is the most sustainable and self-reliant source of finance. In the light of the policy initiative gathering critical mass to lift the Indian economy from the vice-like grip of a recession and, more recently, the life-threatening COVID-19 pandemic, it said, its position is likely to become crucial.
The Indian households hold financial assets or financial savings in currency, bank deposits, debt securities, mutual funds, insurance , pension funds and small savings. Currency and bank deposits accounted for 66 per cent of overall financial assets, led by pension companies and mutual funds contributing 30.2 per cent respectively. Such in-turns are strong sources of company financing.
