Published: Apr 29 2025, 12 ameznews.inGeoffrey Hinton, often dubbed the 'godfather of artificial intelligence,' has raised alarms about the potential for AI to surpass human control, estimating a 10-20% chance of this occurring. In a recent interview, Hinton highlighted the rapid evolution of AI and expressed concern that most people remain unaware of its implications. He urged AI companies to allocate a significant portion of their resources—ideally a third of their computing power—toward safety research, criticizing major firms for lobbying against regulation. Hinton, who recently won the Nobel Prize in Physics, emphasized the unprecedented challenge posed by machines that could exceed human intelligence, likening the situation to the Industrial Revolution but with a focus on intellectual capabilities. Alongside him, Google DeepMind CEO Demis Hassabis echoed these sentiments, warning that society is ill-prepared for the emergence of human-level AI, anticipated to arrive in the next five to ten years.
Published: Apr 29 2025, 12 ameznews.inA tourist on a zipline in Pahalgam, Jammu & Kashmir, inadvertently recorded a terrorist attack that resulted in the deaths of 26 civilians, including 24 Indians, one Nepali, and local individuals, on April 22. The 53-second video shows the man enjoying his ride, oblivious to the gunfire in the background, as other tourists flee in panic. As he descends, another tourist is seen collapsing, likely from a gunshot wound. The attack, claimed by The Resistance Front, a group linked to the Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taiba, marks the deadliest incident in the region since the 2019 Pulwama attack. In response, India downgraded diplomatic ties with Pakistan, suspended the Indus Waters Treaty, and revoked visa services for Pakistani nationals, while Pakistan retaliated by closing its airspace to Indian airlines and warning against any diversion of water resources.
Published: Apr 28 2025, 9 pmeznews.inA disturbing video circulating online captures the chaos experienced by tourists in Pahalgam during a terror attack on April 22, which left 26 people dead, including only one local. The footage shows men, women, and children seeking refuge near a kiosk while gunfire echoes in the background. The attackers, affiliated with a faction of Lashkar e Taiba, targeted tourists, reportedly singling out Hindus based on their religion. Among the victims was a local pony handler who was killed while attempting to shield a tourist from gunfire. In response to the attack, the Indian government has implemented several non-military measures, including suspending the Indus Water Treaty, closing the Attari border, and revoking visas for Pakistani nationals in India. While military action has not been ruled out, it was not a topic of discussion at the recent all-party meeting aimed at addressing the situation with Pakistan.
Published: Apr 28 2025, 8 pmeznews.inThe recent attack in Kashmir has sparked intense debate in India, with social media calling for a range of responses from air strikes to war. This incident draws parallels to Hamas's assault on Israel, though the historical contexts differ significantly. The attack is believed to be linked to Hamas, as evidenced by its leaders' participation in a rally in Pakistan earlier this year, raising concerns over Pakistan's support for militant groups. Amidst Pakistan's economic struggles, its military faces unprecedented challenges, including high levels of insurgency and internal turmoil, prompting a reaction that could be seen as a diversion from domestic issues. Analysts had warned of rising militancy in Kashmir, yet the specific targeting of a peaceful tourist area came as a shock. To counteract Pakistan's objectives, India should enhance support for Kashmir's tourism and local voices while maintaining a united front against terrorism, emphasizing national solidarity.

Published: Apr 28 2025, 6 pmeznews.inIndia is advancing the construction of two water storage facilities on the Indus River System following the indefinite suspension of the Indus Water Treaty with Pakistan, as confirmed by AK Bajaj, a former commissioner and technical consultant on the treaty. This decision came after a recent attack on tourists in Jammu and Kashmir, prompting India to implement various non-military measures, including closing the Attari border and revoking Pakistani visas. The Pakuldul and Bursar projects aim to enhance India's water storage capabilities, allowing for future water diversion to states like Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana. The 1960 treaty, which has historically remained intact despite tensions, allocates the eastern rivers' waters to India while assigning the western rivers to Pakistan. Pakistan, heavily reliant on these waters for its agriculture, has condemned the treaty's suspension as an "act of war" and threatened to terminate existing agreements, escalating diplomatic tensions between the two nations.

Bhutto's comments, made in response to India's suspension of the treaty following a terror attack that killed 25 tourists, sparked outrage among Indian politicians, including Union Minister Hardeep Singh Puri, who suggested Bhutto seek mental health support, and Congress MP Shashi Tharoor, who called the remarks "inflammatory." Owaisi emphasized that terrorism is to blame for Bhutto's family tragedies and warned that India would not remain silent in the face of threats. He criticized Pakistani leaders for their aggressive rhetoric, asserting that any attack on India would provoke a strong response. Benazir Bhutto was assassinated in 2007, with the case still unresolved.
