The Hindu Huddle 2025: 'AI will amplify, not replace, human capacity'
To think of AI as an instrument of absolute and malicious power was wrong, said Ms. Bali. 'Technology can amplify human efforts both good and bad. There are questions that we need to manage right now - such as whether the data that is used to train AI is representative of the global majority, how do we ensure that models are aware of the context, how to reduce the risk of biases etc.'

The nature of jobs will change and new jobs will be created, but the new ones also will be redundant soon as technology advances, pointed out Ms. Kapoor. 'The most vulnerable jobs right now are those in the BPO industry. There will new jobs in managing the data is being generated. There will be chaos and is need for regulation, social security, skill development and preparedness,' she said.
Ms. Lall said AI has opened up the opportunity for learning for the curious people. AI and technology can take care of a range of routine work, and humans can turn their attention to creative and critical areas. The experts were of the opinion that in this phase of rapid changes, the human capacity to think critically and make sense of the cognitive overload will be of value.

One Gemini AI query consumes about five drops of water: Google on how it calculates energy consumption
Amid growing concerns over the immense energy demands of artificial intelligence (AI), Google has announced that it has reduced the environmental footprint of its AI models, claiming a more than 30-fold decrease in the energy consumed by its Gemini AI over the last year. The company also released a comprehensive new methodology for measuring the energy, water and carbon emissions of its AI systems. According to a report released by the company, the median energy consumption per text prompt in its Gemini Apps decreased by a factor of 33x over a 12-month period. The associated carbon footprint saw an even more significant drop, decreasing by 44x, the company claimed. These advancements are attributed to a 'full stack' approach, focusing on maximising efficiency from custom-designed hardware to the software and models running in their data centers. "As we continue to invest in the technology and innovation needed to meet significant new energy demands, transparency is key to progress," Google said. Key findings of Google's research on energy efficiency In the report, Google disclosed that a median text prompt using its Gemini Apps consumes approximately 0.24 watt-hours (Wh) of energy, contextualising this by stating that the energy consumed by a median AI prompt is now equivalent to watching television for less than nine seconds. It also said that each query processing emits 0.03 grams of carbon dioxide equivalent (gCO2e), and uses 0.26 milliliters of water — equivalent to about five drops. As mentioned, a central point of Google's paper is its push for a more holistic measurement methodology. The company argued that many public estimates of AI energy consumption are 'optimistic at best' because they often only account for the power used by active AI accelerator chips (like GPUs and TPUs). Google's new, more comprehensive approach also factors in several critical real-world elements, including: The energy consumed by idle machines kept ready for traffic spikes. Power used by supporting CPUs and RAM. The significant energy overhead from data center infrastructure, such as cooling systems. The company claims these efficiency improvements are the result of a 'full-stack' approach, which involves optimising every layer of its AI operations. This includes designing more efficient model architectures like Mixture-of-Experts (MoE), refining algorithms, and co-designing its custom-built Tensor Processing Unit (TPU) hardware to maximise performance per watt.

18 arrested at Microsoft employee protest over company's Israel contracts: Read statement from Police
Image credit: Komonews At least 18 people were recently arrested at Microsoft's Redmond campus during the second day of pro-Palestinian protests , a report claims. The group, which included current and former Microsoft employees, was protesting the company's contracts to supply artificial intelligence technology to the Israeli military. According to a report by Komonews, the local police said that officers responded to a large gathering where protesters allegedly poured paint on a Microsoft sign, blocked a pedestrian bridge, and used stolen furniture to create a barrier. The group named 'No Azure For Apartheid' claims the technology is being used to 'surveil, starve and kill Palestinians.' In response, the tech giant said it is looking into the use of its Azure platform in Israel. However, the report doesn't specify how many of the arrested protestors are current Microsoft employees. Police added that these individuals may face charges of trespassing, resisting arrest, obstruction, and malicious mischief. No injuries were reported at the latest protest, which took place a day after the same group demonstrated at Microsoft's campus, but that ended without any arrests. What Microsoft said about the arrests at its campus In its latest statement, a spokesperson for Microsoft said, "Yesterday, approximately 35 protesters gathered and protested on the Microsoft campus. When local police officers informed them that this was not permitted on private property, they left. Today, the group returned and engaged in vandalism and property damage. They also disrupted, harassed, and took tables and tents from local small businesses at a lunchtime farmer's market for employees." Microsoft also added: 'As we have made clear, Microsoft is committed to its human rights standards and contractual terms of service, including in the Middle East. The company announced last week that it is pursuing a thorough and independent review of new allegations first reported earlier this month about the purported use of its Azure platform in Israel." 'Microsoft will continue to do the hard work needed to uphold its human rights standards in the Middle East, while supporting and taking clear steps to address unlawful actions that damage property, disrupt business, or that threaten and harm others,' the company said last week. Tensions between Microsoft and some current and former employees have been rising after recent firings of staff who protested the company's contracts. Reports have also linked Microsoft and OpenAI's AI models to Israeli military targeting in Gaza and Lebanon, including a deadly 2023 airstrike. Microsoft has now hired a law firm to investigate claims that the Israeli military used its Azure platform for storing surveillance data on Palestinians. 'Microsoft's standard terms of service prohibit this type of usage," the company noted in a statement shared last week, claiming that the report raises 'precise allegations that merit a full and urgent review.' Previously, the Associated Press reported that Israel's military uses Microsoft Azure for processing surveillance data tied to its AI targeting systems. Microsoft admitted its technology had military applications but said a prior review found no evidence it was used to harm people in Gaza—though details of that review were not disclosed. The company has now hired Covington & Burling to conduct a new investigation and has promised to share its findings once complete. WhatsApp Makes Group Calls Smarter AI Masterclass for Students.

Meta freezes AI hiring after blockbuster spending spree
Meta Platforms has frozen hiring in its artificial-intelligence division after spending months scooping up 50-plus AI researchers and engineers, according to people familiar with the matter. The hiring freeze, which went into effect last week and coincides with a broader restructuring of the group, also prohibits current employees from moving across teams inside the division. The duration of the freeze wasn't communicated internally. There might be exceptions to the block on external hires, but they would need permission from Meta's chief AI officer, Alexandr Wang, the people said. A Meta spokesperson confirmed the freeze, characterizing it as 'basic organizational planning: creating a solid structure for our new superintelligence efforts after bringing people on board and undertaking yearly budgeting and planning exercises." While all of the top AI companies have hired aggressively this year, Meta has most often pushed the pace of the talent war, offering prized researchers pay packages worth nine figures and using so-called reverse acquihires to strip startups of key leaders. Analysts have voiced concerns about the scale of leading tech firms' investments, with some singling out Meta's fast-rising stock-based compensation costs as a potential threat to shareholder returns. The recent restructuring inside Meta divides its AI efforts into four teams: one working on superintelligence, called TBD Lab, that houses many of the new hires; a second working on AI products; a third working on infrastructure; and a fourth dedicated to projects with a longer time horizon and more exploration, the people said. The latter, called Fundamental AI Research, remains largely untouched in the reorganization. The four groups sit within the umbrella of Meta Superintelligence Labs, a name that reflects Chief Executive Mark Zuckerberg's recent emphasis on building computer systems that can outperform the smartest humans on cognitive tasks. The Information previously reported some details of Meta's AI reorganization. Previously, Meta had a team called AGI Foundations, which worked on the latest versions of the company's large language models, known as Llama. The team drew criticism from executives this spring after the release of the latest Llama models underperformed expectations. It was dissolved as part of the reorganization. At least three members of the previous AGI Foundations team said internally that they were leaving the company around the time of Meta's latest vesting date, Aug. 15, according to internal posts viewed by The Wall Street Journal. It was after the Llama model release in April that Zuckerberg became personally involved in recruiting AI researchers. He approached employees of OpenAI, Google DeepMind and other labs with email overtures and WhatsApp messages that quickly led to offers that in some cases reached $100 million in total compensation. His offer to one researcher—Thinking Machines Lab co-founder Andrew Tulloch—could have been worth as much as $1.5 billion. (Tulloch declined the offer.) To spearhead Meta's AI efforts, Zuckerberg hired Scale AI co-founder Wang, securing him by paying $14 billion for a stake in his company. He also brought on former GitHub CEO Nat Friedman and Safe Superintelligence co-founder Daniel Gross, whose courtship involved Meta offering to buy a stake in their venture firm. As of mid-August, Meta had successfully hired more than 20 researchers and engineers from OpenAI for the effort, at least 13 from Google, three from Apple, three from xAI and two from Anthropic for a total of 50-plus new employees. Mounting concern from investors over the costs of the tech giants' AI buildout has played a role in this week's selloff of technology stocks. In an Aug. 18 research note, analysts at Morgan Stanley warned that the fast-rising stock-based compensation offered by Meta and Google to lure AI talent could threaten their ability to return capital to shareholders via buybacks. Lavish spending on talent, the analysts wrote, 'has the potential to drive AI breakthroughs with massive value creation or could dilute shareholder value without any clear innovation gains."
