AIP questions Mehboobas take on Congress legacy
Srinagar, Oct 27: Awami Itihaad Party (AIP) Chief Spokesperson Inam Un Nabi on Tuesday questioned PDP president Mehbooba Muftis praise of former prime ministers Jawaharlal Nehru and Indira Gandhi on Accession Day, accusing her of overlooking decisions taken during their tenures that, he said, altered Jammu and Kashmirs political status. In a statement, Inam asked Mehbooba to explain her endorsement of the Congress leaders legacy, referring to the arrest of Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah in 1953 during Nehrus premiership. He also questioned the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs political and administrative institutions during Indira Gandhis tenure, including the replacement of Sadr-i-Riyasat with Governor and Wazir-e-Azam with Chief Minister. Inam said the historical record should be examined in its entirety rather than selectively invoked for contemporary political purposes. He also criticised Mehboobas praise of Congress leaders, alleging that it overlooked decisions affecting the regions political identity and autonomy. Clarifying AIPs position, Inam said holding Congress accountable for its past did not absolve the BJP of responsibility for its own decisions, particularly the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs status in August 2019. AIP will neither whitewash Congresss historical record nor give the BJP a free pass, he said, adding that both parties should be held accountable for their respective decisions affecting Jammu and Kashmir. Inam said the people of Jammu and Kashmir deserved political honesty and a comprehensive account of the regions history rather than selective interpretations shaped by the interests of national parties.

Trump says US to ban 'artificial intelligence' term, pushes 'super intelligence'
Washington , October 27 : US President Donald Trump on Tuesday [local time] said his administration would ban the use of the terms Artificial Intelligence and AI in relevant federal government documents, pushing for their replacement with Super Intelligence and SI on the grounds that the existing terminology no longer accurately reflects the capabilities of advanced technology. In a post on Truth Social, Trump questioned the continued use of the term by The Wall Street Journal and called for a shift towards the alternative terminology. When will The Wall Street Journal start calling Artificial Intelligence (AI), a very bad and inaccurate name, SI (Super Intelligence), the name which virtually everyone else is using, or soon will be, Trump said. In short order, we will be officially BANNING the term, AI/Artificial Intelligence, in all relevant documents, and everything else, due to its inaccuracy. Thank you for your attention to this matter, he added. Trump's remarks followed an executive order he signed earlier on September 30, titled Inaugurating the Era of Super Intelligence, directing federal executive departments and agencies to replace Artificial Intelligence and AI with Super Intelligence and SI in official communications and operations, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Under the order, the revised terminology is to be adopted in government correspondence, public communications, official websites, reports and administrative policy documents. However, the directive clarifies that previously issued regulations, existing government contracts, grants and historical archival records will not be retroactively altered. Explaining the rationale behind the change, the executive order stated that technological advances had outgrown the original framework used to describe artificial intelligence. The capabilities of todays frontier systems do much more than imitate or automate discrete aspects of human intelligence. They increasingly amplify human ingenuity and unlock new forms of creativity, empowering Americans to achieve what was previously impossible across science, medicine, and nearly every other domain of human endeavor, the order stated. The directive also sets a 60-day deadline for the Assistant to the President for Science and Technology to submit proposed legislative language to Congress establishing an updated federal statutory definition of Super Intelligence and recommending corresponding amendments to existing laws. The move comes after Trump hosted leading technology executives, including Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Sundar Pichai and Jensen Huang, at the White House for discussions on technological advancement and the safe development of advanced systems. During the meeting, Trump described the sector's growth as unprecedented, while industry leaders emphasised collaboration and safety in developing emerging technologies. The proposed terminology change marks a significant shift in how the administration intends to describe advanced technology across federal operations. (ANI)
