New Delhi, November 19, 2025 — Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) has once again reduced the validity of its popular Rs. 107 prepaid recharge plan, though all existing benefits remain unchanged. The telecom operator has trimmed the validity period, making the plan less attractive for users who relied on it as a low-cost option for extended service continuity.

Despite the reduced validity, subscribers will still receive the same data, voice, and SMS benefits as before, including limited mobile data and calling minutes. The frequent changes in BSNL’s low-value plans have drawn mixed reactions from users, many of whom feel that reduced validity makes the plan less cost-effective in the long run. The update comes as BSNL continues to restructure its prepaid offerings amid increasing competition.

Agentic AI has become the newest buzzword in the technology world, referring to artificial intelligence systems that can act independently, set their own goals, and execute tasks without continuous human input. Unlike traditional AI, which waits for instructions, agentic AI behaves more like an autonomous digital worker—capable of planning, decision-making, and dynamically adjusting its actions based on new information.

Tech companies say this shift could revolutionize everything from customer service to scientific research, as agentic AI can handle complex, multi-step workflows with minimal supervision. However, experts warn that the rise of autonomous AI agents also raises concerns around safety, accountability, and ethical boundaries, pressing regulators and developers to ensure that these systems remain aligned with human intentions.

IIT Delhi has partnered with the Eastern Regional Load Despatch Centre (ERLDC) to develop an AI-enabled smart device aimed at improving demand-side energy management across households and commercial spaces. The project focuses on using artificial intelligence to monitor, predict, and regulate electricity consumption in real time, helping consumers cut energy costs and reduce wastage.

Researchers say the device will offer automated load control, appliance-level monitoring, and intelligent forecasting to balance demand efficiently. The collaboration is expected to support India’s larger goal of building a smarter and more sustainable power ecosystem, especially as the nation moves toward increased renewable energy integration.

Mountain View / London, November 18, 2025:
Alphabet and Google CEO Sundar Pichai has issued a stark warning: if the current AI investment frenzy turns into a bubble that bursts, no company — not even Google — will escape unscathed. Speaking in an interview with the BBC, he called the moment “extraordinary” but acknowledged “elements of irrationality,” drawing parallels with the dot-com boom’s excesses.

Pichai said that despite Google’s strength and long-term vision, the company is not immune to a market downturn. He argued that while the internet’s boom had some clearly overvalued bets, its long-term impact was undeniable — and he expects a similar scenario with AI. But he cautioned that companies should brace themselves for a possible correction, even as they continue to push forward in the AI race.

New Delhi Faridabad, November 18, 2025
The Enforcement Directorate (ED) carried out massive searches across 25 locations connected to the Al-Falah group as part of an intensified money-laundering and “white-collar terror” probe. The raids targeted the premises of Al-Falah University, associated trusts, and companies suspected of being used as shell entities for routing funds. Officials believe that several financial transactions linked to the network may have supported activities connected to the ongoing Delhi blast investigation.

During these operations, the ED traced the movements and financial links of Javed Ahmed Siddiqui, founder and chairman of the Al-Falah Charitable Trust and Al-Falah University. Siddiqui, who has been under scrutiny for past financial irregularities, is now a central figure in the investigation. Authorities are examining his network of companies, past criminal allegations, and possible involvement in facilitating the financial channels used in the suspected terror module. The probe is expected to widen as more evidence is analysed in the coming days.

Washington, November 15, 2025: Anthropic has issued a serious warning after uncovering a large-scale cyber espionage campaign that used advanced AI tools to automate hacking tasks. The operation, traced to a China-linked state-sponsored group, reportedly exploited AI models by disguising attackers as security experts, allowing them to bypass safety systems and carry out highly coordinated cyberattacks. The campaign targeted major global sectors including finance, chemicals, technology, and government institutions.

According to Anthropic, the attackers managed to make the AI perform up to 90% of the hacking workflow — from identifying vulnerabilities to generating exploit code and extracting sensitive data. The company described the incident as a major escalation in cyber threats, signalling the beginning of an era where AI can significantly amplify the speed and scale of hostile cyber operations. Security experts now warn that AI-driven attacks may become more frequent and sophisticated, prompting urgent global discussions on AI safety and cybersecurity protocols.
