Google Translate has been prominent for language translation; however, limited work has been done in evaluating the quality of translation when compared to human experts. Sanskrit one of the oldest written languages in the world. In 2022, the Sanskrit language was added to the Google Translate engine. Sanskrit is known as the mother of languages such as Hindi and an ancient source of the Indo-European group of languages. Sanskrit is the original language for sacred Hindu texts such as the Bhagavad Gita. In this study, we present a framework that evaluates the Google Translate for Sanskrit using the Bhagavad Gita. We first publish a translation of the Bhagavad Gita in Sanskrit using Google Translate. Our framework then compares Google Translate version of Bhagavad Gita with expert translations using sentiment and semantic analysis via BERT-based language models. Our results indicate that in terms of sentiment and semantic analysis, there is low level of similarity in selected verses of Google Translate when compared to expert translations. In the qualitative evaluation, we find that Google translate is unsuitable for translation of certain Sanskrit words and phrases due to its poetic nature, contextual significance, metaphor and imagery. The mistranslations are not surprising since the Bhagavad Gita is known as a difficult text not only to translate, but also to interpret since it relies on contextual, philosophical and historical information. Our framework lays the foundation for automatic evaluation of other languages by Google Translate

For instance, Philadelphia-based fintech firm cred.ai, The card was licenced by payments network Visa and issued by Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB. The credit optimizer tool uses an AI algorithm to improve the user's debt-to-credit ratio, which accounts for up to 30% of a FICO score that evaluates a person's creditworthiness in the US. Apple, too, uses AI to determine a user's credit limit on the Apple Card. Closer home, Gurugram-based fintech firm OneBanc has developed a card to connect various banking systems.

The idea of conscious artificial intelligence (AI) conjures images of machines taking over the world, but experts disagree over whether to take the concept seriously. A top AI researcher recently claimed that AI is already smarter than we think. Ilya Sutskever, the chief scientist of the OpenAI research group, tweeted that "it may be that today's large neural networks are slightly conscious." But other AI experts say that it's far too soon to determine anything of the sort. "To be conscious, an entity needs to be aware of its existence in its environment and that actions it takes will impact its future," Charles Simon, the CEO of FutureAI, told Lifewire in an email interview.

Rujul Gandhi's love of reading blossomed into a love of language at age 6, when she discovered a book at a garage sale called "What's Behind the Word?" With forays into history, etymology, and language genealogies, the book captivated Gandhi, who as an MIT senior remains fascinated with words and how we use them. Growing up partially in the U.S. and mostly in India, Gandhi was surrounded by a variety of languages and dialects. When she moved to India at age 8, she could already see how knowing the Marathi language allowed her to connect more easily to her classmates -- an early lesson in how language shapes our human experiences. Initially thinking she might want to study creative writing or theater, Gandhi first learned about linguistics as its own field of study through an online course in ninth grade.

The string of engineers who spoke Thursday night during a deep dive into Cruise's autonomous vehicle technology never mentioned Tesla's name. They didn't have to, although the message was clear enough. GM's self-driving subsidiary Cruise presented a technical and deployment roadmap -- at a granular level -- that aimed to show how it has built autonomous vehicles that are safer and more scalable than any human-driven vehicle, including those equipped with advanced driver assistance systems. While Cruise was clearly making a case for its own technology (not to mention trying to recruit fresh talent), the event was also an argument for autonomous vehicles in general. Each engineer or product lead who spoke Thursday presented various components, from how it uses simulations and the development of its own chips and other hardware to the design of its app and the vehicle itself.

AI technologies are quickly maturing as a viable means to enabling and supporting essential business functions. But creating business value from artificial intelligence requires a thoughtful approach that balances people, processes and technology. AI comes in many forms: machine learning, deep learning, predictive analytics, natural language processing, computer vision and automation. Companies must first start with a solid foundation and realistic view to determine the competitive advantages that an AI implementation can bring to their business strategy and planning. "Artificial intelligence encompasses many things, and there is a lot of hyperbole and in some cases exaggeration about how intelligent it really is," said John Carey, managing director at business management consultancy AArete.

Most of the world has not yet experienced the benefits of a 5G network, but the geopolitical race for the next big thing in telecommunications technology is already heating up. For companies and governments, the stakes couldn't be higher. The first to develop and patent 6G will be the biggest winners in what some call the next industrial revolution. Though still at least a decade away from becoming reality, 6G -- which could be up to 100 times faster than the peak speed of 5G -- could deliver the kind of technology that's long been the stuff of science fiction, from real-time holograms to flying taxis and internet-connected human bodies and brains. The scrum for 6G is already intensifying even as it remains a theoretical proposition, and underscores how geopolitics is fueling technological rivalries, particularly between the U.S. and China.

The Delhi-based company launched the app two weeks before India's ban on Chinese apps and has acquired 400K users till date India's ban on 59 Chinese apps has opened up the Indian market for many native startups, who have the potential to replace these banned apps. With CamScanner, one of the most prominent productivity apps in the market, also banned, Indians are looking for replacements. While Microsoft Office Lens, Adobe Scan and other apps are available, the current wave of adoption for Indian products has brought the spotlight on Kaagaz Scanner. Launched about two weeks before the ban, Kaagaz Scanner is an app built by Sorted AI, which is an year-old file management platform. Kaagaz's launch was driven by the company's realisation that scanning is where the document storage process starts for millions of Indian users. Founder Snehanshu Gandhi said that Indian users scan documents in an app, and they also want to use the app to peruse the document storage solution.

A new study has explored whether AI can provide more attractive answers to humanity's most profound questions than history's most influential thinkers. Researchers from the University of New South Wales first fed a series of moral questions to Salesforce's CTRL system, a text generator trained on millions of documents and websites, including all of Wikipedia. They added its responses to a collection of reflections from the likes of Plato, Jesus Christ, and, err, Elon Musk. The team then asked more than 1,000 people which musings they liked best -- and whether they could identify the source of the quotes. In worrying results for philosophers, the respondents preferred the AI's answers to almost half the questions. And only a small minority recognized that CTRL's statements were computer-generated.

The tech industry's great new hopes – artificial intelligence (AI), big data and blockchain – are making their presence felt in an unexpected new field: Indian real estate. As the world starts to rely more on these innovations, India is catching up, and making room. There are AI labs coming up in established tech hubs like Bengaluru and surprise destinations like Kolkata. Now, Hyderabad is set to house India's first blockchain district. Experts point out that this signals an impending boost for the housing market there.
