In a High Court case, Adman Sandeep Goyal wants the government to control surrogate advertisements.
In order to stop surrogate advertising, Sandeep Goyal has petitioned the Punjab and Haryana High Court for a government-led oversight agency. He contends that deceptive advertising of things that are prohibited, such as alcohol and tobacco, cannot be addressed by the self-regulation that is in place at the moment. By acknowledging the issue and sending letters to the appropriate authorities, the court has signaled the start of an important legal discussion over advertising control.The nation is experiencing a health catastrophe as a result of young people developing early alcohol and tobacco addictions. According to the petition, "it is argued that the commercials, which feature well-known celebrities to promote their product, not only encourage the use of alcohol and tobacco but also validate their use through the glamorous representation of these products. "The petition highlights how ineffectual the present self-regulatory frameworks—such as the Advertising Standards Council of India's (ASCI)—are at preventing deceptive advertising. Goyal demands a stronger regulatory framework run by the government to monitor advertising material.Goyal argues that current redressal procedures are not quick to offset the immediate effects of these advertisements, which continue to reach sizable audiences before any kind of regulation is implemented. Additionally, he cites Supreme Court and high court rulings advocating for more stringent regulatory monitoring in the advertising industry.

A survey reveals that audiences are wary of AI being used to produce news.
According to a survey, news consumers are primarily against using AI for sensitive areas like politics.According to a survey, the majority of news consumers in the US and the UK would find journalism generated mostly by artificial intelligence (AI) unsettling.According to a poll by the Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism released on Monday, only 23% of respondents in the US and 10% in the UK would feel comfortable with AI-produced news. Consumers are particularly wary of the technology being used for sensitive topics like politics and crime.AI-led news would make people uncomfortable, according to almost half of US respondents and 63 percent of UK respondents, respectively. Only 18% of respondents stated they would be neither comfortable nor uncomfortable.The use of AI to produce text-based content, illustrations, and stylized graphics was met with the least resistance from respondents, whereas the creation of realistic-looking images and videos was met with the strongest opposition.According to the institute's annual Digital News Report, which accompanied the study, "Our findings show audiences are most open to AI uses that are behind the scenes and areas where AI can help improve their experiences using news, providing more personalised and accessible information. "They feel less at ease with content intended for a broad audience, delicate or significant subjects, and computer-generated movies or images that could be mistaken for the genuine thing—areas where mistakes are thought to have the most impact. Most people agree that complete automation should not be allowed and that a human should always be involved.The results coincide with the global adoption of AI by newsrooms in the face of sharply declining revenue and widespread layoffs. AI tools are being used by many news organizations throughout the world for a variety of tasks, including research, interview transcription, and content development.Michael Miller, the executive chair of News Corp Australia, disclosed last year that the media organization was employing AI to produce over 3,000 pieces per week. When the German tabloid Bild unveiled a cost-cutting campaign last year worth 100 million euros ($107 million), it forewarned employees that it anticipated making additional cuts because of "the opportunities of artificial intelligence."

After the former president is found guilty on all 34 counts, stock prices drop by as much as 15%.Trump's social media company, Trump Media & Technology Group, had a sharp decline in stock value after the former US president was found guilty in his hush-money trial.The company's shares, which are traded under the ticker "DJT," dropped as much as 15% during Thursday's extended trading following the conviction of Trump on all 34 felony counts of fabricating company records.Although the shares turned around during the day, they were still down almost 9% in the early evening.Since its launch, Trump Media's stock has fluctuated greatly, evoking analogies to meme stocks like GameStop and AMC Entertainment Holdings that are renowned for their violent price swings.In March, Truth Social's parent company had a spectacular launch, rising as much as 59 percent on the first day of trading.Since then, the stock has experienced volatility, including a one-day double-digit decline in April following Truth Social's announcement of its intention to enter the streaming market.

Review of the film Atlas An absolutely unsalvageable action movie starring Jennifer Lopez that sets a new low for Netflix tentpoles
Review of the science-fiction action picture Atlas starring Jennifer Lopez: It is visually disorienting, has little ambition, and has no true redeeming qualities.There are terrible films, and then there are terrible Netflix-produced films. The streamer's most recent high-profile production, Atlas, is evidently determined to keep getting bigger and bigger, but it somehow falls short of the dismal caliber of its two previous big failures from earlier this year, which were the space opera Rebel Moon — Part 2: The Scargiver and the fantasy survival thriller Damsel. Atlas, a future action movie starring Jennifer Lopez as a soldier with trust issues, is dull, absurd, and sadly unsalvageable.Brad Peyton, the director of Atlas, looks to have washed ashore on the shores of streaming, seeking quick sanctuary from the Hollywood studio system he once served. Peyton served a time at the Dwayne Johnson penitentiary for stand-ins. The end product is an overly dramatic and poorly written muddle that lacks both the self-aware absurdity and technical skill of Peyton's earlier films, of which he is still most known for Rampage and San Andreas. In the story, Atlas, a brilliant but unruly person when it comes to chess, is dispatched to a far-off planet on a mission that practically amounts to a bounty hunt, with the goal of bringing Harlan back alive. Following the ship's crash-landing and the death or capture of her entire platoon,She performs her best Sigourney Weaver impression, gets into a mech suit straight out of Alien 2, and for a significant portion of the ostensibly action-packed story, she stays motionless. As the film nears its conclusion, Peyton and his screenwriters, Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite, make the strange decision to bind Atlas to a table. Atlas is understandably motionless while she's wearing the bulky outfit. Therefore, there is a significant portion in which Lopez is required to provide a convincingly dramatic performance while lying motionless on a flat surface and rambling on about Atlas' past. It would be like asking Virat Kohli to hit sixes while holding one arm behind his back in a film.However, you shouldn't take this kind of film seriously. It's the kind of movie where individuals rush for cover and utter stuff like, "He's targeting my fusion reactor," and "My turn," after enduring a hail of gunshots. In relation to that, Lopez spends a good deal of the film alone herself, forced to perform either by herself or through the disembodied voice of an AI assistant that Atlas eventually compels her to rely on. These are some of the most boring scenes in the movie, with the writing going completely bonkers in its naive attempts to have the two protagonists engage in buddy-movie banter.Lopez most likely never left the studio. She doesn't even seem to have perspired. The underpaid and overworked visual effects artists are the only crew members who might have needed electrolytes and caffeine, and they will all be unfairly held accountable for their involvement in what is unquestionably the most unattractive film of the year thus far. It would be correct to describe Atlas as an eyesore, but that would also, regrettably, suggest a misty-eyed nostalgia for the era of Red Notice and The Gray Man.

Chand has spent the last fifteen years working for the IT company as a Wipro veteran as well. Analysts have praised the action, stating that it gives the right signals to all parties involved, including employees and.
