IIIT-B 5G-उन्नत, 6G R&D, स्टार्टअप उत्पादों में अग्रणी है
फैशन एक्सेसरी स्टार्टअप ज़ौक अधिक ऑफ़लाइन स्टोर चाहता है, वित्त वर्ष 2014 के विकास का खाका तैयार करता है
पीएम मोदी 4 जुलाई को एससीओ शिखर सम्मेलन में स्टार्टअप संस्कृति की वकालत करेंगे
आज का समाचार:-
इंटरनेशनल इंस्टीट्यूट ऑफ इंफॉर्मेशन टेक्नोलॉजी-बैंगलोर (IIIT-B) ने रविवार को कहा कि वह विज्ञान और प्रौद्योगिकी विभाग (DST) से इंटरडिसिप्लिनरी साइबर-फिजिकल सिस्टम्स (NM-ICPS) परियोजना पर राष्ट्रीय मिशन का नेतृत्व कर रहा है।
मुंबई में फ्लैगशिप स्टोर, लाइफस्टाइल और फैशन एक्सेसरी स्टार्टअप ज़ौक अपनी ऑनलाइन उपस्थिति की सराहना करने के लिए "बहुत तेज़ी से" अधिक ब्रांड आउटलेट खोलने की एक मजबूत ऑफ़लाइन रणनीति पर विचार कर रहा है, और अमेरिका और कनाडा के विदेशी बाजारों में भी प्रवेश करने के लिए उत्सुक है।
प्रधान मंत्री नरेंद्र मोदी अगले सप्ताह के शंघाई सहयोग संगठन (एससीओ) शिखर सम्मेलन में यूरेशियन क्षेत्र में नवाचार और व्यापार को बढ़ावा देने के लिए भारतीय स्टार्टअप क्षेत्र की सर्वोत्तम प्रथाओं को साझा करने की वकालत करेंगे।
सिलिकॉन वैली की प्रमुख हस्तियों द्वारा समर्थित स्टार्टअप इन्फ्लेक्शन एआई ने घोषणा की कि उसने माइक्रोसॉफ्ट और एनवीडिया जैसे उल्लेखनीय निवेशकों से 1.3 बिलियन डॉलर की फंडिंग हासिल की है।
स्टार्टअप20 एंगेजमेंट ग्रुप आज से हरियाणा के गुरुग्राम में दो दिवसीय स्टार्टअप20 शिखर शिखर सम्मेलन की मेजबानी करेगा। शिखर सम्मेलन अंतिम नीति विज्ञप्ति की आधिकारिक रिलीज के लिए एक ऐतिहासिक कार्यक्रम के रूप में काम करेगा
भारत की अग्रणी स्टॉक ब्रोकर कंपनी ज़ेरोधा के सीईओ और सह-संस्थापक नितिन कामथ ने भारतीय स्टार्टअप पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र के भीतर कॉर्पोरेट प्रशासन के मुद्दों पर अपने विचार साझा किए हैं। ट्वीट्स की एक श्रृंखला में, कामथ ने अपनी चिंता व्यक्त की और इस बात पर जोर दिया कि ये मुद्दे भविष्य में और बढ़ेंगे।
सूक्ष्म, लघु और मध्यम उद्यम (एमएसएमई) क्षेत्र की संपत्ति की गुणवत्ता में काफी सुधार हुआ है क्योंकि सकल गैर-निष्पादित परिसंपत्ति (जीएनपीए) अनुपात इस साल मार्च में घटकर 6.8% हो गया, जबकि पिछले साल मार्च में यह 9.3% था, आरबीआई के डेटा के अनुसार दिखाना।
मुख्य सचिव के.एस. जवाहर रेड्डी ने कहा है कि 2023-2024 में 1,50,000 सूक्ष्म, लघु और मध्यम उद्यम (एमएसएमई) इकाइयां स्थापित करने और उनके माध्यम से 7,50,000 लोगों को रोजगार प्रदान करने का प्रयास किया जा रहा है।
ह्यूमेन, हार्डवेयर स्टार्टअप जो स्टील्थ मोड में रहस्यमय एआई-संचालित उपकरणों पर काम करने के लिए जाना जाता है, ने शुक्रवार को एआई पिन नामक एक नए डिवाइस की घोषणा की।
बाजार आज सपाट खुलने की संभावना है क्योंकि गिफ्ट निफ्टी व्यापक सूचकांक के लिए धीमी शुरुआत का संकेत देता है, जिसमें सत्र 19,360 अंक पर खुलने के बाद 15 अंकों की बढ़त है।

Technology, Together.#3.07 Ordinary Ethics of AI and StorytellingWhen it comes to talking about AI ethics, we often hear terms such as bias, fairness, accountability, transparency, human-centered explainable AI, and responsible AI. While they cover major concerns around an AI/data-driven world from technologists’ imagination, they do not capture how these technologies are experienced in everyday lives of people across different physical and social geographies. How do we then create a bottom-up participatory narrative about AI, ethics and algorithmic harm? How do we talk about ordinary ethics of AI? To explore some of these possibilities, today, we have with us Dr. Ranjit Singh.
