Fact Check (claim): Turkey blacklisted India, imposes complete ban on defence exports.

Reporter: Hi Sir I am Siddhant from CNN News18. Some reports are suggesting that Turkey has imposed an export ban on India in terms of military export. Do you have any comments to make on that? Thank you.

MEA Spokesperson: we have seen some reports. As far as my knowledge is concerned and information is concerned, that information is not good.

So I will refer you to please take that question to the Turkish Embassy who can for short give you an answer because it is a post which generated in Turkey. To my understanding, to the best of my knowledge, it is disinformation at best.

I’m honored to represent my company Fact Protocol and speak at the Women's Forum for the Economy & Society, Singapore 2024.

I have participated in a panel discussion moderated by Marie Hélène on the topic of "Misinformation and the potential of AI to tackle fake news."

I did share my learnings along with amazing panelists:

- Hamidah Aidillah, Founder, Parrot Social Intelligence
- Dr. Ayesha Khanna, CEO, Addo AI
- Randhawa Amrita, CEO, Singapore and South East Asia, Publicis Groupe.

Why does AI matter in fact-checking?

In an era where information is just a click away, the proliferation of fake news and misinformation poses a significant threat to societies worldwide.

The rapid spread of false information can influence public opinion, alter political landscapes, and even endanger lives.

With advancements in artificial intelligence, there is a growing hope that AI technologies such as Generative AI can offer effective solutions to combat this menace.

Fact Check: SEC has approved spot Bitcoin ETF, according to their official Twitter/X post.

We can also confirm that the account did not have two-factor authentication enabled at the time the account was compromised”.

JUST IN: Chandrayaan-3’s Pragyan Rover has detected Oxygen on the Moon.

The Chandrayaan-3 Rover, equipped with the Laser-Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy (LIBS) instrument, has achieved a significant milestone by conducting groundbreaking in-situ measurements of the elemental composition of the lunar surface near the south pole.

This marks the first time such measurements have been accomplished directly on the moon's surface. Notably, the LIBS instrument has successfully identified the presence of Sulphur (S) in the region, providing conclusive evidence that was previously unattainable through orbiter-based instruments.

The LIBS technique, a scientific method employed for material analysis, operates by subjecting materials to intense laser pulses. The procedure involves focusing a high-energy laser pulse onto the surface of a given material, such as a rock or soil.

The energy from the laser pulse creates a highly localized and extremely hot plasma on the material's surface. This plasma emits light, which is collected and analyzed using specialized detectors like Charge Coupled Devices.

As each element emits distinct wavelengths of light while in a plasma state, the composition of the material can be accurately determined.

Initial analyses, presented visually, have unveiled the presence of several elements on the lunar surface, including Aluminum (Al), Sulphur (S), Calcium (Ca), Iron (Fe), Chromium (Cr), and Titanium (Ti).

Subsequent measurements have confirmed the existence of additional elements like manganese (Mn), silicon (Si), and oxygen (O).

The investigation into the presence of Hydrogen is still in progress, aiming to provide further insights.

It is noteworthy that the LIBS payload was developed by the Laboratory for Electro-Optics Systems (LEOS)/ISRO in Bengaluru.

This accomplishment represents a significant advancement in lunar exploration and the utilization of advanced scientific instruments to uncover the composition of celestial bodies.
