At the India AI Impact Summit 2026, a provocative question dominated several panel discussions: Is social media a bigger threat to society than artificial intelligence? While AI continues to generate global debate around automation, deepfakes and job displacement, a section of technologists and policy experts argued that existing social media ecosystems may pose more immediate and tangible risks — particularly in democracies with massive digital populations like India. The debate reflects a broader shift in digital policy discourse. Instead of treating AI as the sole disruptive force, experts are examining…

Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant technological shift for India’s IT services industry — it is rapidly becoming a defining force. As generative AI, automation platforms and large language models integrate into enterprise workflows worldwide, India’s $200+ billion IT outsourcing ecosystem is confronting a structural transition. With global clients accelerating AI adoption to reduce costs and increase efficiency, Indian IT firms — long known for application development, maintenance and back-office services — are recalibrating strategies.

Air pollution is a growing global concern, and its impact on health is both immediate and long-term. Among the most harmful pollutants are PM10 (particulate matter smaller than 10 micrometers) and PM2.5 (smaller than 2.5 micrometers). These fine particles penetrate deep into the respiratory system, leading to increased risks of asthma, cardiovascular diseases, lung cancer, and even premature death. According to health studies, for every 10 μg/m³ increase in PM concentrations, mortality rises by approximately 0.36% for PM10 and 0.40% for PM2.5. Children and elderly citizens are particularly vulnerable. Because…
