Delhi schools to launch AI curriculum by IIT Madras for Classes 6-10 from May 8
More importantly, it dives into practical applications of AI and covers essential topics like ethics, bias, privacy, and accountability. These lessons will help students understand both the potential and the risks that come with using AI technologies.MADE FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS ALIKEThe programme doesn't stop at students. It's also designed to empower teachers by offering an open-source content stack and training modules that are accessible online.These resources will be available in five languages -- Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Odia, and English -- to ensure wider access across various linguistic backgrounds.advertisementThe multilingual content stack will be released gradually over the next six months. The creators also plan to include more regional languages in the future so that the curriculum can reach students across different geographies and school boards.FLEXIBLE DESIGN TO SUIT DIFFERENT SCHOOLSUnlike one-size-fits-all models, the AI Samarth curriculum is built to be flexible. Schools can customise the depth and pace of the content based on their institutional goals and the readiness of their students and teachers.Whether a school has more advanced digital infrastructure or is just getting started, the curriculum can be adapted accordingly.According to CSF, 'The curriculum framework supports the development of a flexible, holistic curriculum designed to cater to diverse learning levels, allowing institutions to customise its depth and breadth based on local contexts, grade levels, institutional goals and the varying readiness of students and teachers in terms of their awareness, understanding and use of AI.'PART OF A LARGER AI LITERACY MOVEMENT IN INDIAThis step is part of a growing push to integrate AI education into school curricula across India, with a focus on digital citizenship and 21st-century skills.As AI becomes more integrated into daily life -- from how we shop to how we learn -- building awareness from a young age is seen as essential.With IIT Madras bringing in academic and technical expertise and CSF managing school-level implementation, the AI Samarth curriculum could set a model for other states to follow.

Trouble brews as Elon Musk's restaurant Tesla Diner shrinks menu just weeks after inauguration
Even Elon Musk's ambitious plans appear to be experiencing significant challenges. A few weeks after the big opening of Tesla's retro-futuristic diner, the menu that everyone was talking about has shrunk a lot. Early diners have noticed that there are fewer food options, the hours of operation are shorter, and some of their favorite dishes have quietly disappeared. The Tesla Diner was advertised as a unique mix of a charging station and an old-fashioned American diner, where people could eat while their electric cars charged. But after the most recent menu cuts, a lot of people are now wondering if this early change is a sign of bigger problems to come.

Chef Eric Greenspan says that "unprecedented demand" led to the changes and that the menu will keep changing. ALSO READ : Donald Trump to host Kennedy Center honors — see the surprising list of this year's recipients Why is Tesla Diner already cutting back? Live Events Tesla Diner is a retro-style place where you could charge your Tesla and eat an American meal that reminded you of the past. But only a few days after the excitement, visitors started to see changes. The menu had only five sandwiches left by August 5- the Tesla Burger, the fried chicken sandwich, the hot dog, the grilled cheese, and the tuna melt. The market salad, club sandwich, biscuits with red gravy, hash-brown bites, veggie burger, and the famous "Epic Bacon" are all gone. This maple-glazed, pepper-dusted bacon snack quickly became popular. Some drinks, like the Shirley Temple and Creamsicle soda, just disappeared. ALSO READ : Orca attack mystery: What really happened to marine trainer Jessica Radcliffe What is still on the Tesla Diner menu? For now, diners can choose from the remaining sandwiches, fries, two kinds of pie, and a short list of sides. Breakfast used to be available all day, but now it's only available in the morning. Some fans are unhappy because they think the original menu was more like a full meal, while the new one is more like a snack stop. Eric Greenspan, the chef at Tesla Diner, defended the decision by saying that demand had been higher than expected. He said that streamlining helps the team serve guests faster while still keeping the quality of the food. He also said that the menu would "always change." Are the hours of operation changing as well? Yes, when the diner first opened, it was advertised as a place to hang out all day and night. The official hours are now from 6 a.m. to midnight. You might still be able to charge and order directly from a Tesla's in-car system outside of those hours, but the doors close at midnight for walk-ins. Some visitors have said that the diner's charging stations are only for Tesla owners, which raises questions about how easy it is for other EV drivers to get to them. What will happen next at Musk's retro-futuristic restaurant? Elon Musk still thinks the diner idea is a good business opportunity around the world, even after the early changes. He's talked about opening similar places in big cities and along long-distance Supercharger routes all over the world. FAQs Why did Tesla Diner change its menu so soon after it opened? Chef Eric Greenspan says the changes were made due to "unprecedented demand" and to make service faster. Is it possible for people who don't own a Tesla to eat and charge at the diner? Reports say that only Tesla owners may be able to charge, but anyone can eat there.

RBI committee recommends measures for AI adoption in financial sector
To encourage the responsible and ethical adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the financial sector, a Reserve Bank of India (RBI)-constituted committee has recommended several measures, including the establishment of financial sector data infrastructure, data lifecycle governance, consumer protection and cyber security measures. These proposals were put forward by an RBI committee, set up in December last year, to develop a Framework for Responsible and Ethical Enablement of Artificial Intelligence (FREE-AI) in the financial sector. The committee has given 26 suggestions which are based on six pillars – infrastructure, policy, capacity, governance, protection and assurance. 'A high-quality financial sector data infrastructure should be established, as a digital public infrastructure, to help build trustworthy AI models for the financial sector,' the committee said. This may be integrated with the AI Kosh – India Datasets Platform, established under the IndiaAI Mission. The committee has recommended the establishment of an AI innovation sandbox, development of indigenous financial sector-specific AI models, adaptive and enabling policies and adoption of AI liability framework. It has suggested that regulated entities should develop AI-related capacity and governance competencies for the board and C suite. Regulators and supervisors should also invest in training and institutional capacity building initiatives to ensure that they possess an adequate understanding of AI technologies and to ensure that the regulatory and supervisory frameworks match the evolving landscape of AI. To ensure the safe and responsible adoption of AI within institutions, the committee has proposed that regulated entities should establish a board-approved AI policy which covers key areas such as governance structure, accountability, risk appetite, operational safeguards, and consumer protection. Regulated entities should augment their existing business continuity plan (BCP) frameworks to include both traditional system failures as well as AI model-specific performance degradation. The committee has recommended that REs should implement a comprehensive, risk-based, calibrated AI audit framework, aligned with a board-approved AI risk categorisation, to ensure responsible adoption across the AI lifecycle, covering data inputs, model and algorithm, and the decision outputs.

PSU banks to hold majority in digital payment intel body
New Delhi: State-run banks will take the lead in setting up the Digital Payments Intelligence Platform (DPIP) and hold more than 50% stake in the proposed venture aimed at harnessing advanced technologies to mitigate payment fraud risks . The proposed entity, which will seek to enhance fraud risk management through real-time intelligence sharing and prevent fraudulent transactions, will be set up as a Section 8 company, or non-profit organisation, said people familiar with the matter. Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 4 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals Batch 2 By Ansh Mehra View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 3 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Artificial Intelligence AI For Business Professionals By Vaibhav Sisinity View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass - Batch 2 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program Finance Value and Valuation Masterclass Batch-1 By CA Himanshu Jain View Program A committee with members from both public and private banks, ministry of electronics and information technology (MeitY) and the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will determine the capital contribution, governance structure and minimum paid-up capital for the firm, they said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Undo The proposed committee will be set up through the Indian Banks' Association (IBA). "We expect the final structure to be formalised by month-end. While state-run banks will be the majority shareholder, it is being ensured that there is representation from fintech companies , payment banks and also small finance banks," said an official, who did not wish to be identified. Live Events Earlier, a committee set up by the RBI, headed by former National Payments Corporation of India chairman AP Hota, had recommended establishing DPIP as digital public infrastructure. "Discussions are on to identify the initial contributing partners and governance structure of the company. This will be a broad-based firm and will look to strengthen existing fraud risk management systems, besides addressing core issues like mule accounts and the need for pre-transaction intelligence," a bank executive said on condition of anonymity. Mule accounts refer to bank accounts used by criminals for financial crimes, including money laundering. According to experts it becomes difficult for banks to manage it on a standalone basis and hence there is a need for a market infrastructure platform such as DPIP. "It will allow banks to get an ecosystem view of the frauds and put the right risk mitigants in place on a long-term basis," said Vivek Iyer, partner and financial services risk leader, Grant Thornton Bharat. "Also, with the data available on one platform, machine learning tools can also be applied to detect anomalies and patterns on a proactive basis and. with the increased data over a period of time, build AI capabilities." According to Manoj Ajgaonkar, partner, digital, trust and transformation at Forvis Mazars, fraud prevention platforms themselves are now high-value targets and so the system needs to be protected with strong encryption, limited access and routine testing. "DPIP will do much to reduce payment fraud while building public confidence in India's digital payments system," he said.
