Tata Communications to build AI-led network for AWS in India; capital investment at ₹430 crore
The project, which is likely to involve a capital investment of about ₹430 crore from Tata Communications, is expected to be completed by the end of FY26, according to a regulatory filing.
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.
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.

ChatGPT Personal Chats Leaked On Google: How It Happened, OpenAI CEO Responds, And What Users Should Do
ChatGPT Data Leak: In today's fast-paced digital world, ChatGPT has become as essential as the internet on our smartphones. For many, it is more than just a tool — it is a trusted companion that holds countless secrets. Remember that time you poured your heart out to ChatGPT? Whether it was a messy fight with your girlfriend, late night overthinking, weird 2 AM thoughts, embarrassing kitchen mishaps, career planning, or simply searching for happiness, you shared it all with an AI that patiently listened to your problems and offered advice. Most importantly, this AI never judged you. It felt more like a close friend, like confiding in a diary that actually talks back. Now, imagine if ChatGPT exposed users' personal conversations on Google and made them available for the world to read. Chats about your problems, wild thoughts, mental health struggles, relationship advice, and even someone asking how to write a punch line to impress a girl. Sounds wild, but that is exactly what happened. In a surprising incident, thousands of private ChatGPT conversations showed up in Google search results. Some of these chats included personal topics like mental health, job stress, and relationship issues shared with the AI chatbot. ChatGPT Leak Data: How Did This Happen? OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, had a feature that let users share their chats using a share button. When someone clicked it and chose 'create link,' ChatGPT made a URL that could be shared with others. There was also an option called 'Make this chat discoverable.' If this was turned on, search engines like Google could show those chat links in public search results. Many users didn't understand this and turned it on by mistake, thinking it was needed to share chats with friends, without realizing it could make their chats public. The issue was first reported by Fast Company. They found that around 4,500 ChatGPT links had been indexed by Google. While many of these chats were harmless, some revealed deeply personal and sensitive details shared by users—things they never expected the world to see. ChatGPT Leak Data: What Open AI Responded OpenAI fixed the privacy issue by removing the "discoverable" option from the Share window. An OpenAI employee said it was a short lived experiment that made it too easy to share chats by mistake. Now, OpenAI's FAQ clearly says that shared chats are not public unless users choose to make them discoverable. ChatGPT Leak Data: What Users Should Do Step 1: Open ChatGPT and go to Settings. Step 2: Tap on Data Controls from the menu. Step 3: Click on Manage next to the Shared Links option. Step 4: You will now see a list of all shared chats. From here, you can delete any links you no longer want to keep public. No Legal Privacy For ChatGPT Users Adding further, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has said that users should not expect legal privacy when using ChatGPT. Since there are no clear laws or rules about AI chats yet. However, if a legal case ever comes up, OpenAI could be required to hand over some of your most sensitive chats.

Lesson planning emerges as the top AI use case in classrooms; CENTA highlights gaps in teacher confidence and calls for structured training programs
Bengaluru: Centre for Teacher Accreditation (CENTA®) As the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 marks its fifth anniversary with a spotlight on AI-driven learning platforms new data from CENTA® reveals that over 70 percent of Indian teachers are already integrating AI tools into their classrooms. The findings come from CENTA's latest nationwide survey of 5,000 educators and highlight both the growing adoption of AI and the continued need for structured training to address common misconceptions. CENTA's survey on classroom usage found that over 70 percent of teachers are already integrating AI tools into their teaching practices. Teachers with more than three years of experience show even higher adoption rates, with nearly 75 percent reporting active use of AI resources. The surveys revealed that lesson planning is the number one activity for which teachers use AI, with close to 60 percent of respondents choosing it as their primary use case. This trend holds consistent across both experience levels and school fee segments, highlighting AI's role as a planning and productivity tool across varied teaching environments. Additionally, around 26 percent of teachers use AI to generate activity ideas for their classrooms, reinforcing its value as a creative aid in lesson delivery. While 67% of respondents rated their expertise with AI at 6 or higher on a 10-point scale, and the average self-rating was 7 out of 10, only 57% could correctly answer a basic misconception question on AI posed by CENTA. The percentage of teachers who achieve CENTA's certification on 'AI in Teaching' is much lower. This reveals a clear gap between perceived expertise and actual understanding. Despite widespread adoption, there remains a significant need for structured training and skill development to help teachers use AI tools confidently and effectively. 'AI is rapidly becoming part of the modern classroom, but there remains a clear gap between adoption and genuine comfort among teachers,' said Ramya Venkataraman, Founder & CEO, CENTA. 'Our surveys highlight both the enthusiasm for technology and the urgent need for structured training and clear communication to help educators make the most of AI.' The survey also focused on perceptions and misconceptions about AI among a broader group that included educators, parents, and students. Findings revealed that 84 percent of respondents expressed concerns about AI. Specific worries included fears about AI's accuracy (cited by nearly 23 percent of respondents) and concerns around AI replacing human jobs in education (34 percent). Other notable concerns related to AI's impact on creativity, transparency, and misuse. The surveys gathered responses from a diverse range of stakeholders, including teachers, school leaders, teacher educators, parents, and students. Participants represented schools across different fee segments and regions, from no-fee institutions to those charging above INR 25,000 per month, reflecting a broad socio-economic spectrum. By sharing these findings, CENTA aims to spark focused conversations around building AI skills in education and ensuring that teachers, parents, and students engage with this transformative technology from a place of knowledge and confidence. CENTA plans to keep the live link to the survey in public domain and keep updating it with findings from time to time:
