2024, year of the deepfake? Artificial intelligence and the changing face of politics

In content moderation, there’s moderation and then there’s the content. If 2023 was the year that AI went mainstream with ChatGPT, will 2024 be the year that deepfakes swing elections? A big year of campaigning awaits in Europe, India and the United States. For instance, the EU's new AI legislation calls for the labelling of realistic-looking artificial content. Will it be enough?

Meet Shubham Dubey, A Pan Stall Owner's Son Who Struck Rs 5.8 Crore Jackpot At IPL Auction

December 19 will be a date to remember for Vidarbha batter Shubham Dubey, who got picked by Rajasthan Royals during the IPL 2024 auctions in Dubai. The uncapped Indian batter was bought at a whopping total of Rs 5.80 crore by the 2008 champions. Starting from a base price of Rs 20 lakh, Shubham made Rajasthan and Delhi Capitals engage in an intense bidding war, before getting sold to the former for a hefty amount. It was a life-changing moment for Shubham as he hails from a very humble background in Nagpur and will now be sharing the stage with the likes of Sanju Samson, Jos Buttler, and others.

"Our Approach Won't Change" India Batting Coach Sitanshu Kotak Despite Loss vs South Africa In 2nd ODI

India batting coach Sitanshu Kotak said the visitors' approach will not change one bit in the series-deciding third ODI despite South Africa crushing them by eight wickets in the second match. South Africa registered a comprehensive eight-wicket win over India in the second ODI to level the three-match series 1-1 here on Tuesday. But Kotak made it clear that there won't be too many changes in the playing eleven, which will be decided depending on the surface. "Our approach won't change at all. Not many changes I wouldn't think but again once we go and see the wicket then we will decide," Kotak said at the post-match press conference.

IPL 2024 Auction: How Punjab Kings Bought 'Wrong Player', Then Denied Reversal By Auctioneer

The Punjab Kings committed a big gaffe in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction as they bought the 'wrong player'. Upon realising the mistake, the franchise did raise the issue with the auctioneer Mallika Sagar but was informed that the bid has already been completed, hence it cannot be reversed. The player to be at the center of this chaos was uncapped Indian Shashank Singh, who despite being bought in the auction, is unlikely to be in a happy mood knowing the franchise that made a successful bid for him, didn't even want him in the first place.

For Cerebral Palsy Quadriplegic Jeetu Kanwar Why Nothing Is Impossible

Every athlete in the just-concluded Khelo India Para Games in Delhi was unique. Their ability to rise above physical and mental challenges exposed their God-gifted special qualities that able-bodied sportspersons can never fathom. Jeetu Kanwar is perhaps extra special. Her life story is simply surreal and just unbelievable. "She has seen a very difficult phase early in life and that has made her a very strong woman today. She has faced all the challenges all by herself and today, she is a self-made woman and an inspiration to the society," said Kavita Suresh, the general secretary of the Cerebral Palsy Sports Federation of India (CPSFI).

"It Was Tough, Emotional": Mahela Jayawardene On Decision To Replace Rohit Sharma As Captain

Mahela Jayawardene, Mumbai Indians' Global Head of Cricket, admitted that replacing Rohit Sharma with Hardik Pandya as the team's captain was a tough decision but termed it a necessary call with future in mind. Pandya's return to MI as captain had evoked sharp responses from the teams' fan base, but Jayawardene asserted that Rohit will remain an integral part of the side. "It was a tough decision. It was emotional, to be honest. It's fair on the fans as well (to react). I think everyone is emotional and we have to respect that as well. But at the same time, as a franchise, you have to make those decisions," Jayawardene told Jio Cinema.

"Expected Starc, Ended Up With...": RCB Bowling Attack Becomes Fodder For Memes After IPL Auction

The Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) were expected to sign top Australian stars like Mitchell Starc and Pat Cummins in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 auction but had to settle for lesser-favoured targets. While RCB went into a bidding war for both Starc and Cummins, they eventually had to settle for Lockie Ferguson and Alzarri Joseph as other franchises outbid them for the two coveted Australian stars. RCB were even interested in uncapped Indian pacer Kartik Tyagi but could only land former Gujarat Titans pacer Yash Dayal.
