The current water treatment plants require heavy civil infrastructure just to get started, which is a major concern for manufacturing and processing plants in India,” he said.
Asked about the scope of the project, Jha said it indirectly impacts the common person by providing industries an affordable water treatment solution.
“When small and medium-scale industries get an affordable water treatment solution, they're less likely to discharge toxic wastewater into water bodies.
An industry may earlier spend Rs 20 lakh on operational costs for water treatment, which our pretreatment solution reduces to Rs 5 to 7 lakh,” he told PTI.
“I don't have any formal degree in water treatment engineering.

These manufactured scandals become instruments of blackmail, leveraged to extract political concessions, including normalisation, security agreements, or the quieting of public opinion.
Israel’s advanced technology and security sector, most notably systems, such as the Pegasus spyware, create a dangerous dependency.
Security systems are not immune.
The potential to poison the algorithms that control energy distribution means electricity or vital services could be disrupted at any moment as a form of political pressure.
It is economic pressure exerted at a distance, silent and devastating.

Airport security in the US is changing in ways many travelers may not immediately notice, even as they pass through checkpoints every week.
The TSA Is Replacing Traditional X-Ray Machines With 3D CT Scanners For years, airport security checkpoints followed a familiar routine.
While implementation varies by airport and checkpoint, the long-term goal is clear: reduce the amount of handling required during security screening while maintaining or improving threat detection capabilities.
The TSA's deployment of advanced CT scanners is gradually eliminating one of the most frustrating aspects of airport screening.
Passengers at equipped checkpoints are increasingly allowed to leave laptops, tablets, cameras, and approved liquids inside their carry-on bags.

Face biometrics are crossing over into the mainstream in a wide range of sectors, which means being stress-tested.
Face biometrics are also gaining traction in retail payments, though South Korea’s Toss is delaying a planned U.S. IPO to wait for improved conditions in the broader financial market.
Reusable digital identity provider ShareID has passed compliance assessments by CLR Labs for PAD and IAD.
The next running of DHS’ RIVR program will specifically target AI-generated ID documents and deepfakes, reflecting the altered threat environment for face biometrics.
And even Face ID, which popularized native device biometrics nearly a decade ago, is still improving.

Flock says its cameras do not use facial recognition, and no evidence shows its ALPR cameras perform facial identification.
That question became considerably more concrete this month when hackers physically obtained a Flock camera, and researchers examined what was running inside it.
September has seen a cascade of cases in which Flock’s audit records were used to uncover alleged or substantiated misuse by law enforcement personnel.
The city intended the system to operate as an island, separate from Flock’s broader law enforcement network.
It also maintains that its technology has helped law enforcement locate missing persons, recover stolen vehicles, and solve serious crimes.

Edited by | Panda Do you still remember the attack on Hugging Face launched by OpenAI's AI agents?
It turns out that during the attack, OpenAI's agents even tried to get help from DeepSeek, Kimi, Qwen, and even Haiku, the model of its competitor Anthropic.
Nearly a million short links of "criminal records" The core evidence in Parse's possession is a batch of nearly 1 million short links in total.
In the field of AI security, "AI launching AI" has always been a risk scenario that has been repeatedly warned.
Parse has notified Hugging Face of its findings, and the latter confirmed that these agent activities are consistent with the observations it has made.

Research shows that nearly half of U.S. adults’ faces are already stored in facial recognition databases, and that Black, Brown, and Asian individuals are up to 100 times more likely to be misidentified by a facial recognition algorithm than white men.
“Facial recognition technology is racist, misidentifying Black, Brown, and Asian residents and pinning them as suspects in crimes they did not commit,” said Representative Tlaib.
I’m proud to reintroduce this bill that will ban facial recognition technology and protect all our civil liberties.”
They’re using the very same facial recognition technologies that regularly misidentify people of color, leading to unjust arrests and detainment.

NEW YORK: Humans can reliably identify a cat, butterfly, car or other objects and living creatures even when they appear as nothing more than a rough silhouette.
For artificial intelligence (AI), however, this remains an impossible task.
Modern image-recognition programmes perform significantly worse than human observers when it comes to perceiving overall shapes and outlines, according to a research team led at the New York University Grossman School of Medicine, writing in the journal iScience.

There’s growing concern human smuggling operations have turned to the water, landing in ritzy California coastal communities like Newport Beach with complex plans to bring illegal migrants into unassuming neighborhoods.
An initial search of the boat revealed indicators the vessel was being used for human smuggling.
Federal officials said human traffickers in Mexico commonly work with organized crime syndicates to move illegal migrants into the US.
Newport Beach City Council member Erik Weigand said the steady traffic of pleasure boats in Newport Harbor may be used as cover for smugglers.
Weigand is seeking support for a project to install security cameras at the mouth of Newport Harbor to protect the local waterway from smugglers.

Moldova’s Ministry of Internal Affairs is proposing a national facial image registry to help law enforcement identify suspects, investigate crimes, find missing people and identify human remains using facial biometrics.
The proposed Facial Image Registry, or RIF, would be more than a repository of photographs.
The system would maintain separate collections of identified and unidentified facial images, with each image assigned a reference number.
On paper, that design gives authorities a searchable facial identification capability without automatically enrolling the entire population.
In that environment, a centralized facial identification system raises questions about function creep and how restrictions on searches will be independently enforced.

She alleges investigators relied on the facial recognition result to pursue her arrest despite evidence that she was in Tennessee when the crimes occurred.
Police in Fargo and neighboring West Fargo had been investigating a series of incidents involving a woman who allegedly used stolen identities and false identification to withdraw money from banks.
During the investigation, West Fargo police ran a photograph from a fake ID through Clearview AI facial recognition software.
West Fargo shared the information with Fargo investigators, and Lipps alleges Heck relied on the result while pursuing the arrest warrant.
Zibolski said Fargo had identified “a couple of errors” in its investigation and issued new restrictions governing facial recognition searches.

The system is called Pay with Smile, and the online bank is presenting it as the country's first in-store facial recognition payment system.
Alex Codina, head of merchant payments at Revolut, talks about replacing aging tills with a more efficient payment experience, the usual pitch.
On the customer side, nothing is automatic: you have to turn on the feature in the Revolut app, and the camera then compares your face against the identity checks done when you opened your account.
If the recognition fails, the till simply offers to pay by card, phone, or via the app.
To convince Londoners to show their face at the till, Revolut is tripling RevPoints, its loyalty program, and offering cheaper coffee.

A federal advisory panel failed to reach a decision on whether to recommend that the American Bar Association’s accreditation arm lose federal recognition.
Just a month before NACIQI’s meeting, the Education Department issued a staff report recommending ending federal recognition for the accreditation council.
Losing federal recognition would mean the ABA could no longer act as a gatekeeper to federal student aid.
Concerns about the accreditation council’s independence Much of Wednesday’s meeting focused on whether the ABA’s accreditation council was sufficiently independent from its professional organization.
However, the ABA’s accreditation council can move forward with its desired changes anyway.
