Hyderabad: NALSAR and IIIT-H roundtable on AI and legal process held

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: National Academy of Legal Studies and Research (NALSAR) University and IIIT-Hyderabad together held a roundtable meeting on Saturday deliberating on the possibility of the application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Legal and Judicial system in India.
The confluence session of law firms, policy think tanks, NALSAR faculty, IIITH faculty and startups deliberated on the use-cases, various AI problems, its challenges, and potential solution possibilities.
The discussions revolved around four central themes – AI as a supporting tool in the practice of law, to adhere to due process of law, should AI practice law? and AI in delivering judgements.

The roundtable was chaired by NALSAR vice chancellor, Prof Srikrishna Deva Rao, and director of IIIT-H, Prof PJ Narayanan. Panellists included professors from IIIT-H, NALSAR and IIT Kanpur, law leaders from Samvad Partners, policy and community groups OpenNyAI and CDPP, and a city-based startup subtl.ai.
The panel identified AI use-cases in legal research, document and content discovery process, contract drafting and review activities. AI and Natural language processing (NLP) play a crucial role in building language processing tools in understanding the substance and implications of keywords searches and contract language. The deliberations will be detailed in a white paper to be published shortly.
Prof Rao said, “Academic interactions between IIIT-H and NALSAR should lead to academic and research collaborations educating lawyers and technologists together. I strongly believe that technology will enhance justice for everybody but would not replace or substitute human jurisprudence”.
Suggesting that lawyers should learn program development, learn about AI/ML, data science, the vice chancellor advocated small courses for lawyers in document review, judgement review and contract analysis.
Prof Narayanan said, “It is good to see the AI Tech world and people from law coming together.” He said that it has become possible for AI systems to help significantly in the legal process but warned about over-reliance on AI systems cautioning about biases inherent in these systems.

Gold rates in Hyderabad, Dubai, Riyadh, & other important cities on April 14

[ad_1]
Gold is not just a precious metal but its rates in Hyderabad, Dubai, Riyadh and other big cities of the world indicate the market trends. The rates of the yellow metal depend on various factors including geopolitical stability, wars, pandemic, uncertainties, etc.
As gold is also a commodity, its rates depend on demand and supply. In case of any uncertainty, the rates of yellow metal increase drastically as investors consider it save heaven.
However, during the market boom period, its rates return to normal as investors start exploring options that can give them higher returns when compared to gold.

Apart from demand-supply, local factors also contribute to the gold rates in Hyderabad, Dubai, Riyadh, and other important cities across the world.
Gold rates in Hyderabad
Gold rates in Hyderabad and other cities in India depend on various factors including its currency exchange rates as the country is a net importer of the yellow metal.
If the dollar rate goes up against the rupee, India has to spend more to import gold thereby making the yellow metal costly in the local market.

Hyderabad: Asaduddin Owaisi voices opposition to encounters

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: AIMIM president Asaduddin Owaisi on Friday raised concerns about the legality of the alleged encounter that led to the death of gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad’s son Asad and an accomplice in Uttar Pradesh.
Talking to reporters here, he said there would be an inquiry as per the Supreme Court guidelines, but that “so-called encounters should not take place”.
“Indeed, whether it is Umesh Pal or Raju Pal, we have sympathy for them. Because, those people were murdered. How can we support those who committed the murder? But, there is a process, law, Constitution. You get them punishment. Who is stopping you? You get them life (imprisonment),” he said.

He was referring to media reports that raised questions on the alleged encounter.
“That’s why I am saying encounter should not happen. We are not supporting any mafia don. But we were against encounters and will remain against so-called encounters,” he said.
Asked about Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath’s reported remarks that the mafia would be destroyed, he said that the said mafia could be destroyed by putting them behind bars.
Owaisi also said local body polls were scheduled to happen in May in Uttar Pradesh but did not elaborate.
The AIMIM chief recalled that encounters of those involved in Left wing wxtremism used take place in undivided Andhra Pradesh in the 1990s and that he used to speak against those encounters in the Legislative Assembly.

He said he felt that people’s faith in the Constitution had declined due to encounters, which are extra-judicial killings. “Rule of law gets weakened with encounters,” he said.
“My consistent stand has been that I have been against encounters, and spoke on it,” he said.
Recalling that shots were fired at his vehicle one year ago, he said he did not seek the encounter of those who fired the shots but spoke against those who were behind them.
Gangster-politician Atiq Ahmad’s son Asad and an accomplice, both wanted in the Umesh Pal murder case, were shot dead in an exchange of fire with the Uttar Pradesh Police near Jhansi on Thursday, officials said.
Attacking the BJP for conducting encounters “in the name of religion”, Owaisi on Thursday sought to know whether those who burnt to death the two youth in Haryana would also be killed in an encounter.

Hyderabad: KTR to launch Jawaharnagar leachate treatment plant

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Municipal Administration and Urban Development (MA&UD) minister KT Rama Rao will inaugurate a leachate (liquid waste) treatment plant in Jawaharnagar on Saturday.
The project aims to reduce water pollution in Jawaharnagar and adjoining localities. Malkaram Cheruvu was polluted with wastewater because of the leachate which gathered at the Jawaharnagar dump yard.
Some water bodies in the surrounding localities too got polluted when the contaminated water overflowed.

To address the situation, a mobile RO system of 2000 kilolitres per day capacity was started in the year 2017 as a temporary measure. The capacity of the RO system was subsequently increased to 4000 kilolitres, said a press release on Friday.
Purification of water in the Malkaram Cheruvu project was also taken up. To ensure the contaminated water from the water body does not spill over, storm water diversion drains construction was completed with the cost of Rs 4 35 crores.
Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation (GHMC) completed the capping of the dump yard in 2020 to address the issue of flood water flowing from the top of the dump yard. GHMC took up the program with nearly Rs 250 Crore to treat the wastewater from Jawaharnagar and to restore nearby ponds and other water bodies in the surroundings.
Ramky Group took up the restoration and purification of Malkaram Cheruvu and artificial lagoons.
Year-long efforts into the programs and initiatives resulted in purifying nearly 43% of Malkaram Cheruvu. This was confirmed by agencies, like the Pollution Control Board, supervising the programs.

GHMC divided the Malkaram Cheruvu purification works into three phases. Under the first phase, 5.7 acres of the water body were purified. The process of purifying the legacy waste is underway.
After the completion of this program, the management of solid waste, as well as water waste in the Jawahar Nagar area, is said to reach a satisfactory level.
