Noel Tata's BIG move, Rs 4300000000 investment, to build one of India's largest ever deployments of…, partners with…
The collaboration will establish a new high-capacity, long-distance network to connect three AWS infrastructure locations to boost generative AI adoption and cloud innovation in India, it said.
'The collaboration marks one of India's largest ever network deployments by Tata Communications in terms of size, scale and bandwidth. AWS has two data centre regions in India, located in Mumbai and Hyderabad, and AWS Direct Connect and AWS Edge Network infrastructure in Chennai.
'The network will connect AWS infrastructure in Mumbai, Hyderabad, and Chennai through a comprehensive, national long-haul network, creating a powerful infrastructure backbone for AI and machine learning (ML) workloads across India,' it said. Tata Communications Largest Deployments
The new network, one of India's largest ever deployments by Tata Communications — will have a capacity of 7.2 Tbps with a cable length of 18,000 km.
It will utilise Tata Communications' network connectivity to provide low-latency, high-bandwidth connections, enabling businesses across India to build, train, and deploy scalable AI applications, as per the filing.
'The infrastructure is designed to support the most data intensive workloads, like 5G, generative AI, and highperformance computing. This collaboration with Tata Communications will further enable our customers in India to innovate at scale with cloud and generative AI, and drive growth in India's rapidly expanding digital economy,' Jesse Dougherty, Vice President for Network Edge Services at AWS, said.

Alleging irregularities in flower market leasing, AIADMK councillors walk out of Salem corpn meeting
SALEM: Alleging irregularities in the leasing process of the VOC Flower Market complex, AIADMK councillors led by party's leader of opposition in the council N Yadavamoorthy walked out of the Salem City Municipal Corporation's monthly council meeting, on Friday. The meeting was chaired by Mayor A Ramachandran, along with Deputy Mayor M Saradha Devi and Salem City Corporation Commissioner M Elangovan. The AIADMK councillors strongly opposed the corporation's move to lease the flower market shops directly to vendors. The complex, developed under the Smart City project under the AIADMK regime, was originally leased to a private party. After the private party withdrew from the contract, the corporation invited fresh tenders and decided to handle the leasing by itself. AIADMK councillors said the corporation is now demanding advance payments of up to Rs 8 lakh and monthly rents of up to Rs 20,000 from vendors. They argued that such high costs would be unaffordable for small flower sellers who have been operating at the market for decades.

China's Premier Li proposes global AI cooperation organisation
Chinese Premier Li Qiang proposed on Saturday establishing a world artificial intelligence cooperation organisation, calling on countries to coordinate development and security of the fast-evolving technology. Speaking at the opening of the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, Li called AI a new engine for growth but said governance is fragmented and emphasised the need to step up coordination between countries to form a globally recognised framework for AI. The three-day event brings together industry leaders and policymakers at a time of escalating technological competition between China and the U.S., with AI emerging as a key battleground between the world's two largest economies. Washington has imposed export restrictions on advanced technology to China, including AI chips and chipmaking equipment, citing concerns the technology could enhance China's military capabilities. Despite these restrictions, China has continued making AI breakthroughs that have drawn close scrutiny from U.S. officials. Li said AI technologies were rapidly evolving but that there were constraints, such as the lack of high-end computing chips and restrictions on talent exchange. He called for breaking through bottlenecks for open and coordinated innovation.

Are AI tools making you forgetful and dull? Here's how to prevent a brain burnout
Dr Prabash Prabhakaran The other day, a 26-year-old software engineer from Bengaluru came to see me because she was worried about something I'm hearing more and more, 'I feel mentally lazy,' she said. She didn't have a memory problem. No headaches either. There were no neurological warning signs. However, something had changed. Once shrewd and confident, she now relied on AI apps and tools for everything, from brainstorming meeting ideas to client emails and code snippets. She became aware over the months that she was losing her ability to remember things. She would repeatedly ask AI the same questions, lose track of technical concepts and forget project details. What was causing her the most distress? She declared, 'I've lost my curiosity. Besides, why think when I can get it done by someone else?' Her situation exemplified cognitive disuse, which is the process by which the brain dulls like a muscle left unworked. The mental cost of continuously outsourcing our ability to think, remember and make decisions is known as cognitive debt. It's like skipping out on exercise; if you don't go to the gym long enough, your muscles will weaken. Similarly, when we stop pushing our brains, they become less resilient. This change takes time to manifest. It's not about getting lost on the way home or forgetting your birthday. It begins subtly: You become distracted without reminders or prompts, lose your train of thought in the middle of a sentence or find it difficult to remember something you used to know by heart. I still recall a specific patient saying, 'I no longer trust my brain.' What causes this dullness? Our brains are made to think deeply, remember things and solve problems. The neural pathways supporting these abilities are strengthened each time they are stretched. The great thing about neuroplasticity is that it gets stronger the more you use it. However, those circuits aren't triggered when AI takes over the mental labour. This can eventually impair mental acuity, concentration and independent thought, particularly in young adults whose brains are still developing. Therefore, the true question is not whether AI causes forgetfulness but rather whether we are utilising it in ways that contradict or replace our own thought processes. The silent burnout Physical exhaustion is not the same as cognitive fatigue. It's a silent feeling of dreariness, like fog. A few indicators are requiring reminders to complete basic tasks, ignoring what you just read, mentally 'flat' even after taking a break or losing interest in critical thinking or problem-solving. Classrooms, workplaces and homes are all experiencing what Riya did. Our active thinking starts to wane as we consume passively. How then does one strengthen one's mind? AI shouldn't replace thought, just as calculators didn't replace math. Instead of being a crutch, it ought to be a tool. The following are a few easy yet effective methods to improve your cognitive fitness: 1. Intentional recall: Before searching, take a moment to try and recall. 2. Active participation: Don't replace your ideas with AI; use it to test them. 3. Mental exercises: Include deep reading, crossword puzzles and logic games. 4. Tech sabbaticals: Unplug frequently to allow your thoughts to roam. Not only do we lose speed when we allow a machine to think for us, we also lose sharpness. Let's remember to think independently in a world full of intelligent tools and instant prompts. The human brain, which was designed to be used, continues to be our most potent processor.
