Four IIT-Kanpur profs to impart AI training to Uttar Pradesh MLAs, schedule worked out
Professors from the Indian Institute of Technology-Kanpur (IIT-K) will conduct classes over two days for members of the Uttar Pradesh legislative assembly in order to introduce them to the fundamentals of artificial intelligence (AI) and its potential use in governance. The workshop will feature hands-on demonstrations, as well as examples of software solutions developed at IIT-Kanpur, to showcase indigenous efforts in AI. (PICTURE FOR REPRESENTATION) In its July 17 edition, HT was the first to report ('AI to help UP MLAs with digitisation of files, reports') that the upcoming monsoon session of the UP assembly will see a special IIT-Kanpur designed class on artificial intelligence for legislators, aimed at motivating them to use technology for various legislative works. Now, the details of the training schedule have emerged. The sessions will be held on the assembly premises and they will involve four faculty members from IIT-K's department of computer science and engineering. The programme aims to familiarise legislators with AI tools, their practical applications, and the ethical and technical nuances involved in their use. Prof Nitin Saxena, who is leading the initiative, said the workshop will cover a range of tools, including ChatGPT, and show how public representatives can deploy them in their day-to-day responsibilities such as drafting official notes, organising surveys, conducting constituency research and enhancing public communication. 'One of the key aspects of the training is to inform legislators that not everything generated by AI tools is accurate,' Prof Saxena said. 'Equally important is knowing how to spot such errors and exercise human judgment when using platforms like ChatGPT.' Through Saxena and his team, legislators will also be introduced to a curated list of AI tools that can support governance, improve transparency, and make decision-making more data-driven — a skill set increasingly relevant in public administration. The workshop will feature hands-on demonstrations, as well as examples of software solutions developed at IIT-Kanpur, to showcase indigenous efforts in AI. Following the initial session, MLAs interested in delving deeper into the subject will be invited to the institute for further training. Prof Saxena added that the material being shared is already available in the public domain. 'The idea is to make this knowledge accessible and actionable in legislative contexts. We will also touch upon the economics of AI and its emerging role across governance.' The state government's initiative has drawn appreciation for attempting to bridge the technological literacy gap in politics at a time when AI is reshaping policy-making across the world. The schedule for the sessions has already been finalised, with professors set to begin instruction in the coming weeks.

Korean Student's AI-Powered Film Gets Venice Film Festival Spotlight - A Creative Breakthrough That'll Make You Emotional
Choi Min-hyeok, VR Movie 'Evening at 8 O'Clock and the Cat' When Student Projects Go Global Picture this: you're a college student working on what seems like just another assignment, but then boom - your project gets selected for one of the world's most prestigious film festivals. That's exactly what happened to Choi Min-hyeok, a student at Korea National University of Arts (K-Arts), whose film 'Evening at 8 O'Clock and the Cat' just scored an invitation to the 82nd Venice International Film Festival's Immersive Competition section. This isn't your typical student film either. We're talking about a cutting-edge piece that uses real-time image generation and AI-powered monologue technology to tell the deeply personal story of a cartoonist dealing with the loss of their partner in an accident. It's the kind of emotional storytelling that hits different when you combine human creativity with artificial intelligence. The Tech-Art Fusion That's Changing Everything What makes this story even more fascinating is how Choi created this masterpiece. Working through K-Arts' Art and Technology Lab (AT Lab), he participated in a creative-technology fusion program that allowed him to blend traditional storytelling with innovative AI tools. Think of it like those Bollywood films that now use incredible VFX, but instead of just visual effects, this is about creating an entirely immersive emotional experience. The Venice Film Festival organizers weren't just impressed - they were moved. They described the work as a "creative and touching piece that uses artificial intelligence poetically and delicately to evoke deep emotions". That's some serious praise from an international jury that sees hundreds of submissions every year.

Industry-academia ties The meeting also constituted a committee comprising Kerala State Planning Board member Jiju P. Alex, former Mahatma Gandhi University Vice-Chancellor Sabu Thomas and former APJ Abdul Kalam Technological University Vice-Chancellor Rajasree M.S. to prepare comprehensive guidelines and action plans for industry-academia collaborations. The meeting also approved a plan of action prepared on the basis of discussions held at the recent International Conclave on Next-Gen Higher Education. It also recommended steps to address the delay in providing equivalency and recognition for degrees awarded by the Sree Narayana Guru Open University. K-REAP The implementation of the K-REAP programme at Kannur, Sanskrit, Malayalam and Calicut Universities was reviewed. It was also decided to expedite the transition of other universities to the K-REAP software system. The governing body also resolved to operationalise the internship portal 'Internship Kerala 1.0', developed in collaboration with Keltron, by August. Various public sector organisations and local self-government institutions will be linked to the portal. KSHEC vice-chairperson Rajan Gurukkal, member secretary Rajan Varughese and Principal Secretary of the Higher Education department Sharmila Mary Joseph were present.
