Bad news for Sundar Pichai's Google, loses appeal in…, major victory for video game maker…
Home Business Bad news for Sundar Pichai's Google, loses appeal in…, major victory for video game maker… Bad news for Sundar Pichai's Google, loses appeal in…, major victory for video game maker… Google is also facing a proposed breakup of its advertising technology as part of the countermeasures to its monopoly in that business. A trial on that proposal is scheduled to begin in September. Sundar Pichai- File image A federal appeals court has upheld a jury verdict declaring Google's Android app store an illegal monopoly, due to which a federal judge can implement changes at increasing consumer choice. The unanimous decision by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is a legal setback for Google. It is the third major antitrust ruling against the tech giant since late 2023, with various aspects of its digital empire being found in violation of monopoly laws. How Will Verdict Benefit Google's Competitors? It is considered a major victory for video game maker Epic Games, which launched a legal battle against Google's Play Store for Android apps and Apple's iPhone app store nearly five years ago in an attempt to bypass payment processing systems that charged 15% to 30% commissions on in-app transactions. What Jury Found About Google? Following a month-long trial, a nine-person jury determined that Google had rigged its system to thwart alternative app stores from offering better deals to consumers and software developers. That verdict resulted in US District Judge James Donato ordering Google to tear down digital walls shielding the Play Store from competition, triggering the company's appeal to overturn the jury's finding and void the judge's mandated shakeup. But a three-judge panel that heard Google's appeal in February rejected its lawyers' contention that Donato erred by allowing the case to be determined by a jury that deviated from the market definition outlined by another federal judge who mostly sided with Apple in Epic's case against the iPhone maker's app store. What Was Google's Stand In Case? Google has argued that the required revisions will raise privacy and security risks by exposing consumers to scam artists and hackers masquerading as legitimate app stores. But Epic's lawyers have ridiculed Google's warnings about the changes as scare tactics in a desperate attempt to protect the fortunes of its corporate parent Alphabet Inc. Although Epic fell short in its attempt to have the iPhone's app store declared a monopoly, that case resulted in a judge issuing an order that required Apple to surrender exclusive control over the payment processing of in-app transactions and allow links to alternative systems without collecting a commission.

Tesla to inaugurate first India supercharging station in Mumbai next week
American electric car maker Tesla on Friday said it will launch its first charging station in Mumbai next week. The company, which had announced its much-awaited entry into the Indian market last month, said the first Tesla Charging Station in India will feature four V4 Supercharging Stalls (DC charging) and four Destination charging Stalls (AC charging). The Tesla Supercharging Stalls offer a peak charging speed of 250 kW starting at Rs 24/kW and destination chargers providing 11kW at Rs 14/kW, it said in a statement. "This will be the first of the eight Supercharging sites that were announced during the launch in Mumbai, with more planned across the country, to provide the optimal cross-country experience," the company added. Last month, Tesla launched its Model Y with price starting at Rs 59.89 lakh while opening its first experience centre at the Maker Maxity Commercial Complex, in Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. Tesla said the "Model Y can add up to 267 kilometres of range in just 15 minutes with Tesla Superchargers, enough for 5 return trips between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai and Gateway of India". The company said it will be providing a free wall connector with purchase of a new Tesla to be installed in customers' residences.

The AI learning curve: How Indian universities can catch up with the future
About one million AI-skilled professionals will be required in 2026 to meet industry demands in a rapidly changing job market, says a government report titled: India's AI Revolution - A Roadmap to Vikshit Bharat. Another official report forecasts India's AI industry to be touching $28.8 billion in the current financial year. Even industrial sectors, especially Aerospace, Agriculture, E-Commerce, Manufacturing, Retail and Supply Chain, are undergoing a churning to find best answers to AI's inevitability in business. So, as AI reshapes the global workforce, Indian universities now face the onus of making democracy of AI knowledge a reality. They are under mounting pressure to reinvent how they prepare students for the future as they try to bridge the gap between the need to embrace AI and its effective application. AI is advancing so rapidly in every perceptible sphere of activity that the line separating human and machine is becoming increasingly blurred. As the debate now revolves around which jobs will endure and which have an expiry date, the conversation in higher education is moving to what skills and mindsets students should cultivate to thrive in the immediate future. Much as we deliberate on this topic, jobs are already beginning to emerge, ones that leverage AI thereby adding to the strong demand for AI-trained professionals. Positions such as AI ethicist, prompt engineer, algorithm auditor, AI-assisted content creator, digital wellness coach, human-AI interaction designer, and MLOps specialist are surfacing fast. These positions call for more than just technical skills; they also require ethical judgment, creativity and interdisciplinary thinking. Although a sizeable section of the state-run and private education are incorporating AI in their curricula, what, however, remains a stumbling block on the path to India's goals in this regard is the significant shortage the country is facing in the number of AI experts it has in its skills bank vis-a-vis the demand. According to BCG's 'GenAI Adoption Conundrum' report, only half the demand is being met, with a 53 per cent gap predicted by 2026. Against this backdrop, companies are investing substantially in upskilling the workforce though the challenge to integrate AI into the working system remains due to structural handicaps. To do away with this problem, universities across the board should weave AI into every course and bring in experts that would ensure AI-driven critical thinking and creativity among the student community. This AI-led disruption also implies that the boundaries of your learning, even if you are a professional, will continue to expand, which is likely to be mission-critical for rewarding careers in the near future. Universities need to create living scaffolds for stackable mini courses, micro-credentials and modular certificates that allow working professionals to continually reskill.
