The Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded to two scientists on Tuesday for discoveries that laid the groundwork for the artificial intelligence used by hugely popular tools such as ChatGPT. British-Canadian Geoffrey Hinton, known as a "godfather of AI," and US physicist John Hopfield were given the prize for "discoveries and inventions that enable machine learning with artificial neural networks," the Nobel jury said. But what are those, and what does this all mean? Here are some answers. What are neural networks and machine learning? Mark van der Wilk, an expert in machine learning at the University of Oxford, told AFP that an artificial neural network is a mathematical construct "loosely inspired" by the human brain. Our brains have a network of cells called neurons, which respond to outside stimuli -- such as things our eyes have seen or ears have heard -- by sending signals to each other. When we learn things, some connections between neurons get st

The Delhi High Court on Friday directed Sir Ganga Ram Hospital to release the frozen sperm of a dead man to his parents for the reproduction of a child. The High Court said that there is no prohibition on posthumous reproduction in Indian law. Justice Prathiba M Singh issued the direction while disposing of the petition moved by the father of the dead man who sought the release of preserved sperm from the Ganga Ram Hospital. The High Court said, " As there is no prohibition on posthumous reproduction in Indian law, the sperm can be used for reproduction." Justice Prathiba M. Singh directed the hospital to release the frozen sperm of his son to him. She said that it is very common to bring up their grandchildren by the grandparents. However, the High Court said that the sperm shall not be used for commercial purposes. In November 2022, the High Court issued notice to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare and sought its response to a plea seeking the release of a dea

The Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) on Thursday arrested a Trinamool Congress leader and a house-staff attached to R.G. Kar Medical College & Hospital, Asish Pande, said to be a close confidant of Sandip Ghosh, in connection with the the financial irregularities case pertaining to state-run medical college and hospital that emerged in course of investigation into the rape-murder of a junior doctor. Mr Pande was also once summoned to the CBI's Salt Lake office earlier and questioned in connection with the matter.

Russian troops on Wednesday took charge of the eastern Ukrainian town of Vuhledar, a bastion that had resisted intense attacks since Russia launched its full-scale assault in 2022. The advance of Moscow's forces, which control just under a fifth of Ukraine, has underlined Russia's vast superiority in men and materiel as Ukraine pleads for more weapons from the Western allies that have been supporting it. Ukraine's eastern military command said it had ordered a pullback from the hilltop coal mining town to avoid encirclement by Russian troops and "preserve personnel and military equipment". The Russian defence ministry did not mention Vuhledar in its daily battlefield report. Russian Telegram channels, however, published video of troops waving the Russian tricolour flag over shattered buildings. The town, which had a population of over 14,000 before the war, has been devastated, with Soviet-era apartment buildings smashed apart and scarred. The Moskovsky Koms
