Assam university's Rs 30 crore guesthouse turns luxury hotel, sparks row
GUWAHATI: An international guesthouse of the state-run Assam Agricultural University (AAU) built at a cost of over Rs 30 crore to host key seminars and conclaves has transformed into a luxury hotel listed on online travel platforms, sparking opposition from student and teacher bodies. Rohika AAU-International Guesthouse came up in Khanapara here at a veterinary college affiliated to Jorhat-based AAU. It was inaugurated in 2023 by CM Himanta Biswa Sarma with the promise of advancing academic and research collaboration. However, within a year of its inauguration, the state-of-the-art guesthouse was leased out to a private firm for a five-year term, subject to renewal every 11 months. The decision, taken by AAU's board of management, was attributed to a lack of trained manpower to manage the facility of such scale, officials said. It boasts 12 VIP rooms, 43 executive rooms, a 40-seat VIP dining area, an eight-seat private dining space, and a conference hall, among other amenities. "Before construction, it was not decided that the property would be leased out. But after construction was completed, it was decided it would be leased out on rent as staff members could not go there (Guwahati) to manage the guesthouse," said AAU registrar Tapan Kumar Gohain. Student and teacher bodies have decried the handover, arguing that university property should remain in public control. With the veterinary college on the verge of becoming a full-fledged university - only a vice-chancellor's appointment is due - faculty members are hopeful that the guesthouse will eventually return to academic hands. "A decision was made to bifurcate veterinary university from AAU. As far as we know, when the university starts functioning, properties will also be bifurcated. Since the guesthouse is on college land, we hope it will come back to the college and later to the university," said Raj Jyoti Deka, general secretary of AAU Teachers Association (Veterinary Faculty).

YouTube's new AI age verification system: What to do if you are wrongly flagged as a minor
YouTube is all set to roll out an all-new artificial intelligence-based age verification system in the United States on Wednesday, August 13. The innovative system will utilize AI to identify individuals who are below the age of 18. This would be done based on the kinds of videos that these users have been watching on the video-sharing platform, The Associated Press reported. YouTube's new AI-powered age verification system will come into effect in the US on August 13.(Unsplash) The key idea behind this concept is to protect the young audiences and restrict them from getting exposed to content, which could be inappropriate for them. What to expect from YouTube's AI-powered age verification system? Initially, the tests will be conducted on a small amount of YouTube's audience in the US. It will eventually become more pervasive when the concept starts working at par with how it performs in other cities around the world. The new system will only remain effective when the viewers are logged into their accounts on YouTube. It will assess viewers' age regardless of their date of birth, which people enter at the time of sign up. Once a logged-in user is flagged as under the age of 18 by the new AI-powered system, in such cases YouTube will automatically enforce its controls and restrictions that the platform has been using since a long time to prevent minors from watching things deemed inappropriate for their age.

The Google-owned platform does not showcase advertisements to individual tastes when the person is under the age of 18. What if YouTube inaccurately identifies a person as minor? In cases where the viewers might have been incorrectly called out as a minor, the user can still get this mistake rectified. For this, people will be required to show their government-approved IDs, a credit card or a selfie, according to The Associated Press. In a July 29 blog post, YouTube's director of product management, James Beser, said it was one of the first platforms that offers "experiences designed specifically for young people, and we're proud to again be at the forefront of introducing technology that allows us to deliver safety protections while preserving teen privacy'. Also Read: Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak calls out YouTube over rampant scam videos While people can continue watching videos on YouTube without logging into their accounts, this will automatically block some content, since there is no age proof. FAQs When does YouTube's AI-powered age verification system come into effect? It will get underway on Wednesday, August 13. Who all will be affected by it? Initially, this is being targeted upon a sliver of YouTube's audience in the US. What to do if YouTube incorrectly identifies me as under 18? You can rectify the error by showing your government-approved IDs to YouTube.

ED raids 9 locations in PMLA case into Sahara Group ‘ponzi scheme'
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out searches at nine locations in Ghaziabad, Lucknow, Sriganganagar and Mumbai on Monday under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), in connection with its investigation into an alleged 'ponzi scheme' involving the Sahara Group. In a statement, the agency's Kolkata zonal office said the probe is into Humara India Credit Cooperative Society Ltd and several other Sahara Group entities. The ED's probe stems from three FIRs filed in Odisha, Bihar, and Rajasthan under Sections 420 and 120B of the Indian Penal Code, along with more than 500 other FIRs registered against the group nationwide. Over 300 of these cases involve scheduled offences under the PMLA. According to the ED, Sahara Group allegedly ran a massive ponzi scheme through companies including HICCSL, SCCSL, SUMCS, SMCSL, SICCL, SIRECL, and SHICL. 'The funds were managed in an unregulated manner without depositor oversight, maturity proceeds were not repaid, and books were manipulated to camouflage such non-repayments,' the agency stated. Investigators claim the group continued to collect fresh deposits despite financial incapacity, diverting funds for questionable share transactions, benami asset creation, and personal expenses. 'Despite financial incapacity, the group continued to collect deposits, part of which was siphoned off for dubious share transactions, creation of benami assets and personal expenses,' the ED added. During Monday's raids, officials claimed to have seized incriminating documents and records, and recorded statements from key individuals. The agency has previously issued three provisional attachment orders in the case, freezing 707 acres in Amby Valley valued at nearly Rs 1,460 crore, 1,023 acres in Sahara Prime City Ltd worth Rs 1,538 crore, and movable assets belonging to Chandni Roy, wife of Sahara Group's Seemanto Roy, valued at Rs 14.75 crore.
