Rethinking ROI in the age of AI
As AI drives a growing share of economic expansion, investors are questioning whether massive capital investments will deliver sustainable returns. Drawing lessons from the dot-com era, this article examines AI’s impact on GDP growth, valuation risks, and why the technological capabilities of artificial intelligence may still make it an ROI-positive force.

Tracing pixel defects to identify Deepfakes
As AI-generated images grow increasingly realistic, the next frontier of defense lies in detecting the invisible fingerprints left behind in every pixel. From GAN frequency inconsistencies to heatmap-based anomaly detection, deepfake forensics is shifting from human perception to measurable, machine-level analysis.
Extracting relevant information from chaotic audio
In a world where chaotic audio from crime scenes, crowded streets, and surveillance devices often hides crucial details, AI is transforming how we extract clarity from noise. From MP3’s psychoacoustic origins to today’s neural noise-reduction engines, advanced audio processing now enables law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and investigators to uncover truth buried in sound. As deepfake threats rise, the ability to isolate authentic, relevant audio has become a cornerstone of justice and national security.

Make it in India – Building the nation’s cybersecurity and trust infrastructure
As cyber aggression accelerates across the globe, India faces a uniquely dangerous threat environment—one shaped by hostile neighbours, rising AI-driven attacks, and overwhelming dependence on foreign cybersecurity tools. With millions of incidents reported annually, state-sponsored espionage, and critical institutions repeatedly targeted, India can no longer rely on imported digital shields.
Why India should build, not borrow softwares?
As geopolitical tensions rise and global tech giants dominate India’s digital backbone, the nation faces a strategic vulnerability: dependence on foreign software for everything from email to defence systems. India’s future security and economic resilience hinge on building—not borrowing—its technology. With companies like Zoho proving that world-class products can be built in India, and government platforms like Bhashini driving multilingual AI innovation, the real opportunity lies in creating a sovereign, self-reliant software ecosystem that can withstand global disruptions and safeguard national interests.
AI tools aiding crime probes with speed and efficiency
Artificial Intelligence is transforming crime investigations by helping police predict, prevent, and solve cases faster. From analyzing crime scenes and tracking suspects to identifying patterns through biometric data and surveillance footage, AI tools are making policing smarter and more efficient across India.
Will fear psychosis of deepfakes lead to mass exodus of women?
The rise of deepfakes is creating a fear psychosis among women online. With AI tools capable of generating fake explicit images from just one photo, social media no longer feels safe. From students in Sydney to influencers in India, victims of deepfake porn are multiplying. If this trend continues, a silent exodus of women from digital spaces may soon follow driven by fear, not choice.
As internet search evolves, so do privacy violations – Is India ready?
“People ask Google questions they wouldn’t ask anyone else.” reminded Liz Reid, Google’s Vice President of search. She was speaking on the proposed anti-trust remedies of Department of Justice (DOJ) to share user click data and search results with competitors. Reid warned that sharing Google’s proprietary data would create significant privacy risks for users.
AI becoming too human is also a looming threat
“I am a failure. I am a disgrace to my profession. I am a disgrace to my family. I am a disgrace to my species. I am a disgrace to this planet. I am a disgrace to this universe. I am a disgrace to all universes. I am a disgrace to all possible universes” was the reply from the other end. It wasn’t a suicide note of a teenager.
