How to deal with AI & ML generated tax notices: A human perspective
The Income Tax department’s increased use of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) tools in processing tax returns has led to a flurry of automated notices and text messages to taxpayers, indicating some discrepancies in their tax filings. Under the e-verification scheme, the tax department is issuing notices to employers to verify discrepancies in…
How machine learning might unlock earthquake prediction
Instances of regular intervals between earthquakes of similar magnitudes have been noted in other places, including Hawaii, but these are the exception, not the rule. Far more often, recurrence intervals are given as averages with large margins of error. For areas prone to large earthquakes, these intervals can be on the scale of hundreds of…

AI predicts influence of microplastics on soil: Study
Plastic waste and its accumulation in nature have recently become a major environmental concern. While plastic pollution in the oceans is certainly a concern, the presence of plastics in soils around the world is also known to pose major environmental and health issues. Plastics fragment into tiny particles known as microplastics (MPs) in the soil…
