Before the first server hums: India needs an impact test for the AI age

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence

Before advancing with AI infrastructure in India, it is crucial to conduct thorough impact assessments. Large data centres have high demands for electricity and water, necessitating a careful analysis of their environmental and social ramifications. Balancing potential economic advantages with public subsidies and infrastructure expenses is essential for promoting sustainable and well-located AI development.

Scientists turn plastic waste into protein cookies; food can tackle hunger and feed space crews

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence

Researchers at Southern Illinois University Carbondale are developing protein-rich cookies made using plastic waste and agricultural waste. Called µBites, the cookies use PET plastic from bottles and discarded corn stalks and leaves. Programmed yeasts convert processed waste into proteins, fats, acids and flavouring molecules. The NASA-linked project is aimed at developing food for resource-limited environments,

TL;DR A recognizable face, familiar voice, corporate email address, or executive chat account can communicate a request. None of those signals should independently authorize a high-value business action. The safer model is an executive identity control plane that separates communication from authorization. High-value actions should require phishing-resistant authentication, transaction-specific signing, independent verification, role-separated approval, behavioral

17-year-old Leon Wang finds 2 FDA-approved drugs that reduced Alzheimer’s-linked cell damage

ai, AI (Artificial Intelligence), Artificial Intelligence

A young student’s research explored existing medicines for Alzheimer’s disease protection. He identified two drugs, nintedanib and pirfenidone, showing protective effects in cell models. This drug repurposing approach offers a faster, less expensive research starting point. Wang’s work highlights targeting APOE4 and brain blood vessel cell changes. His findings suggest further investigation into TGFβ pathway
