"India's government has stepped back from its plan to require government approval for AI services before they come online."
I posted about this when it was first announced (on March 12), so I feel obligated to post this follow-up.
"That plan, announced in early March, was touted as India grappled with what the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology described as the 'inherent fallibility or unreliability' of AI."
"But last Friday the ministry issued a widely reported update removing the requirement for government permission, but adding obligations to AI service providers. Among the new requirements for Indian AI operations are labelling deepfakes, preventing bias in models, and informing users of models' limitations. AI shops are also to avoid production and sharing of illegal content, and must inform users of consequences that could flow from using AI to create illegal material."

India: Authorities Revoke Visa Privileges of Diaspora Critics
Government Targets Overseas Indians Opposing Ruling Party Policies

(New York) – Indian authorities are revoking visa privileges to overseas critics of Indian origin who have spoken out against the ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led government’s policies, Human Rights Watch said today. Prime Minister Narendra Modi often attends mass gatherings of diaspora party supporters in the United States, Europe, Australia, and elsewhere to celebrate Indian democracy, while his government has targeted people it claims are “tarnishing the image” of the country.

Pilot cargo transportation has been initiated along the India-Iran-Armenia trade route, as announced by Armenia’s Deputy Minister of #Economy, Narek Teryan, during the Armenian-India business forum. However, there is still ongoing work needed to establish a stable transport corridor, he emphasized without disclosing further details at this stage.
#Armenia anticipates that the launch of this trade route will rapidly boost trade and cargo transportation between Armenia, #India, and #Iran, and subsequently with #Georgia and the #EU, in both directions.

The temple of Lepakshi in Andhra Pradesh, India, is seeped in mythological grandeur. The larger-than-life sculptures and exquisite friezes show aspects of Hindu mythology. It has shrines dedicated to #Shiva, #Vishnu, Papanatheswara, Raghunatha, #Rama and other deities. Located a few hundred metres from the main temple is the giant granite bull #Nandi sculpture said to be the second largest monolithic structure in India at 20 feet in height and 30 feet in length. The main temple also has a 2.5ft giant footprint which locals say was carved from an original footprint of a giant from an earlier era. There is also the mysterious hanging pillar, the remarkable ‘thali bowl’ rock carvings and the giant #Naga-Lingham, all showing signs of high technology. Although it is said to have been only built in the 16th Century, locals say it is of ancient origin and built by giants.
