Vizag police launch ASTraM app to resolve traffic woes
Visakhapatnam: Vizag city police have launched 'ASTraM', a mobile app aimed at resolving the city's traffic issues. Home minister V Anitha inaugurated the app, which is centred primarily on tackling traffic-related challenges. According to Vizag city police chief Shanka Brata Bagchi, the app will gather information on traffic updates from Google Maps and similar platforms, providing alerts to traffic personnel in real-time, every 15 minutes through Telegram. These alerts will then be assigned to ground-level traffic police, who are expected to promptly reach sites of congestion and alleviate traffic bottlenecks. Bagchi noted that the app is equipped with a variety of features, including route planning, accident reporting, traffic alerts, incident reporting, violation reporting, information about traffic fines, an event calendar, and e-attendance. He subsequently requested the app developer to arrange a one-week training session for traffic police officers. Anitha pointed out that Vizag city has been hosting several national and state-level events. She added that as a resident, she was aware of the traffic woes that commuters in the city face. The minister highlighted that the app is designed to be user-friendly, offering detailed traffic updates, and can be used via Telegram. Moreover, she mentioned that the app is being anticipated to be fully functional within the next three months.

Apple WWDC 2025: What to expect, including iOS redesign and productivity features
The five-day Worldwide Developer Conference 2025, one of Apple's big events of the year, will officially kick off on Monday, June 9, with a keynote from CEO Tim Cook and other executives at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, US, starting from 10:30 PM IST onwards. WWDC is where Apple typically showcases its latest developer-focused software updates and features, including plenty of news relating to iOS, Vision Pro, etc. However, this year's WWDC arrives at one of the most pivotal moments in the company's history. There have been several question marks about Apple's AI strategy and whether it plans on taking bold steps to catch up with rivals in an industry rapidly being transformed by AI. AI is also emerging as the new user interface that threatens the stronghold of companies such as Apple over smartphones and app distribution. For instance, OpenAI recently announced it is acquiring io, a startup founded by Jony Ive, Apple's former industrial designer, for $6.5 billion. Ive is also collaborating with OpenAI to build a new AI hardware product that could potentially match the success of the iPhone. So, the stakes at WWDC 2025 appear to be higher than ever. Yet, AI is not expected to take centre stage at Monday's keynote. At WWDC 2024, Apple introduced Apple Intelligence, its response to the rise of chatbots and AI models sparked by OpenAI's ChatGPT in 2022. But the rollout of Apple Intelligence has been sluggish and the features limited. The promise of an AI-powered, revamped Siri has also been delayed indefinitely. In this context, what does Apple have in store for WWDC 2025? Here's what to expect. Some of the biggest announcements to come out of WWDC 2025 will be the revamped design of iOS as well as a new naming convention, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Instead of naming the latest version of the operating system iOS 19, after iOS 18, the company is likely to skip ahead to iOS 26 which will be followed by iOS 27, iOS 28, iOS 29, etc, in the future. Apple is also expected to announce a major shift in the aesthetics of its software in order to make the visual elements more consistent across the company's myriad products like the Vision Pro, Apple Watch, iPad, and more. The Tim Cook-led company is also expected to take another shot at social gaming by introducing a new pre-installed gaming app on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Apple TV devices. On the AI front, Apple is expected to open up access to its foundational AI models. This means that third-party software developers could get access to the company's large language models (LLMs) in order to build AI features within their respective apps for iPhones and other Apple devices. Reports also suggest that Apple's health app could be integrated with an AI health chatbot as well as other AI-powered insights and personalised health suggestions for users. iMessage may also get new AI features such as translation and polls with AI-generated suggestions, according to a report by 9to5Mac. The Apple AirPods may also get an upgrade with a live-translate language feature to translate conversations in real-time. The AirPods could get new head gestures such as nods or headshakes to answer incoming calls or read messages, as per reports. But it is unlikely to make any other hardware-related announcement. Apple's refreshed lineup of iPhones and other gadgets are generally announced at an event held sometime in September or October this year. The WWDC 2025 keynote on Monday is going to be livestreamed starting from 10:30 PM IST onwards. You can watch the keynote live via the Apple Developer app, on Apple's website, or by visiting the company's official YouTube channel. You can also follow along with The Indian Express' live blog in case you don't want to miss out on any updates during the event.

Airtel urges RBI, NPCI and banks to collaborate on digital fraud fight
Bharti Airtel has approached around 40 banks, the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) and the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), seeking collaboration to establish a collective database of known fraudulent financial domains. Airtel expressed support for regulatory discussions and offered assistance to the RBI in framing mechanisms to ensure that over-the-top (OTT) platforms are held responsible for consumer protection in financial communication, according to a PTI report. The company has also proposed launching joint awareness campaigns to inform the public about evolving tactics in digital fraud and to promote secure digital practices. On 15 May, Airtel introduced an artificial intelligence (AI) based security platform designed to block fraudulent websites in real time, aiming to prevent digital scams targeting users. In a regulatory filing, Airtel stated that the service is the first of its kind globally. The platform has been launched in Haryana and will be expanded to other parts of India in due course. According to Airtel, the solution is compatible with multiple communication platforms, including WhatsApp, Telegram, Facebook, Instagram, emails, web browsers and SMS. Collaboration with NPCI In a separate communication to NPCI, Airtel suggested a partnership to improve the safety of the country's digital payment infrastructure. The telecom operator proposed that awareness initiatives use the combined outreach of Airtel and NPCI to educate users on secure online behaviour, identifying phishing threats and protecting against new digital fraud methods. It also suggested workshops to develop and commercialise anti-fraud solutions to help reduce financial fraud cases. In the communication, Airtel Vice Chairman and Managing Director Gopal Vittal wrote to NPCI MD and CEO Dilip Asbe: 'The NPCI has been deploying AI-based models that offer an advanced real-time Fraud Risk Monitoring and Management solution that generates alerts and allows banks to detect and prevent fraud across all online NPCI products.' Airtel outlined specific proposals in its 16 May letter, including: 'Closer collaboration between Airtel and NPCI to create a repository of known fraudulent financial domains, enabling proactive blocking of these malicious sites and creating a multi-layered defence against digital fraud.' Airtel said its fraud detection technology, which restricts access to malicious websites and phishing links at the access point, could complement NPCI's existing systems. The telecom stated: 'Additionally, during these programmes as well as our overall telco acquisition and experience, we believe that we have strong signals that could lead to identification of potentially fraudulent transactions or users.' It also recommended joint awareness efforts and workshops to build fraud resistance in the digital payments ecosystem. 'Through this collaboration, NPCI, Airtel and the banking sector can collectively create a more robust and resilient framework for reducing fraud and building greater confidence in India's digital financial services. Airtel remains committed to doing its part and would be happy to provide further technical details and explore how we can work together with the NPCI to enhance the security and integrity of India's digital payments ecosystem,' the letter said. RBI partnership In a separate letter to RBI Governor Sanjay Malhotra, Vittal acknowledged the central bank's initiatives, including its work with regulated entities and the Reserve Bank Innovation Hub (RBIH) on the system. Vittal wrote: 'This powerful AI-based system has already demonstrated its ability to identify mule accounts used to route illicit funds. By analysing user behaviour and transaction patterns, banks can now flag and disable suspicious accounts more efficiently, thereby disrupting fraud at the transactional layer.' He added: 'Airtel believes that our fraud detection solution can complement these efforts by stopping fraud at the very first step: the moment a user attempts to access a malicious site.' 'Airtel remains committed to doing its part and would be happy to provide further technical details and explore how we can work together with the RBI in this critical fight against digital fraud,' Vittal stated. OTT cyber risks The company also raised concerns about security risks associated with OTT platforms. It said replicating the protection level of SMS on OTT platforms is 'impossible' because detecting and blocking fraudulent links on these platforms is more difficult compared with websites. Airtel also noted the absence of traceability, compliance obligations and regulatory access within OTT platforms. 'In this context, and in light of the ongoing RBI consultation on additional factor authentication (AFA) for digital payments, we wish to emphasise that financial transactions must continue to be conducted over secure telecom networks. Telecom networks offer a level of protection and oversight that OTT platforms currently lack, thereby helping to mitigate fraud risks and enhance overall consumer safety,' Vittal wrote. Banking industry Airtel's collaboration proposals received positive feedback from both private and public sector banks. Previously, Airtel had approached Reliance Jio and Vodafone Idea to propose a joint initiative against telecom fraud, aimed at addressing scams targeting users through telecom networks. In those letters, Airtel cited data showing that over 1.7 million cybercrime complaints were recorded in the first nine months of 2024, with financial losses exceeding ₹11,000 crore. The company urged all telecom providers to jointly work to combat fraudulent and deceptive practices targeting individuals.
