Moto G05, Moto G15 Seen With Similar Design, Colour Options in Leaked Renders; Key Features Tipped


Motorola is expected to unveil the Moto G05 and Moto G15 as successors to the Moto G04 and Moto G14, respectively. The company has yet to confirm the handsets but details about the purported phones have started doing rounds of the rumour mill. An earlier report suggested the probable prices of the anticipated smartphones and their expected launch timeline. Now, the possible designs of the Moto G05 and Moto G15 have surfaced online alongside some key features of the handsets including RAM, storage configurations and camera details.

The Moto G05 and Moto G15 are shown to feature identical designs. The displays have centre-aligned hole-punch slots to hold the front camera sensors. The volume and power buttons are placed on the right edge of the handsets. The power buttons will double as side-mounted fingerprint sensors. The left edge will hold the SIM tray slots on both phones.

According to the report, the Moto G15 will be offered in Green and Grey colour options, while the Moto G05 is tipped to come in an additional Orange shade. The Moto G15 will likely be available in 4GB and 8GB RAM variants alongside 256GB onboard storage support. Meanwhile, the Moto G05 is expected to support 4GB of RAM as well as 128GB and 256GB storage. Like the preceding Moto G04, it may be available an 8GB RAM option.

The report adds that both Moto G05 and Moto G15 will likely get dual rear camera units including 50-megapixel primary sensors. They will carry rear LED flash panels too. These purported handsets are tipped to be the first from the company to ship with Android 15-based Hello UI on top.

Moto G05, Moto G15 Launch Timeline, Price (Expected)

The Moto G05 will unveiled in late November or early December, according to the report. Previously the phones were tipped to launch in Europe in November. The Moto G05 could be priced at EUR 140 (roughly Rs. 12,400) and EUR 170 (roughly Rs. 15,500) for the 4GB + 128GB and 4GB + 256GB variants, respectively. The Moto G15, on the other hand, is expected to be listed at EUR 200 (roughly Rs. 18,200) for the 8GB + 256GB option.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Pages, New AI Capabilities in Apps and Copilot Agents Rolled Out


Microsoft 365 Copilot, the rebranded name for the enterprise-focused version of the artificial intelligence (AI) chatbot is getting new features. Announced on Monday, the tech giant is rolling out various improvements in Microsoft 365 apps as well as a new Copilot Page feature. The latter is a multiplayer AI feature which allows different users to collaborate on a project. Further, Copilot Agents, the purpose-specific mini chatbots are also being rolled out for Microsoft’s enterprise clients. The company also highlighted that more new features will be introduced in the next two months.

Microsoft 365 Copilot Gets New Features

In a blog post, the company detailed the new features of the business-focused Copilot. Among them, Copilot Pages is a unique feature allowing enterprise users to collaborate. Users can create a shared space where both Copilot and humans can add and edit information for a project.

To use this, customers can open Copilot and run a query. The response can be opened as a separate page that other organisation users can access. Once added, they can use it as a Word page and add tables, links, text, and images. Users can also prompt Copilot to add information. Microsoft said this feature is currently available to select businesses in beta and will be generally available later this month.

Additionally, various Microsoft 365 apps are also getting new AI features. Copilot in Excel with Python, for instance, will allow users who do not know coding to run advanced analyses such as forecasting, risk analysis, machine learning tasks, and more. All of this can be done by typing a natural language prompt to the chatbot. It is also available in public preview.

Microsoft PowerPoint is getting a Narrative builder feature which uses Copilot to generate the first draft of a presentation with a single prompt. It can generate an outline with editable topics. Further, the company said that in the future, users will be able to add files to the outline to let the AI generate a more refined draft.

Copilot in Teams can now process conversations across spoken words and written text in the chat and combine them to generate a more accurate transcript. Outlook is also getting a Prioritise feature that will analyse the inbox to show the emails that require an urgent action by the user. In the future, users will be able to teach Copilot specific topics, keywords or people which are important. Any email containing them will be marked as a high priority. The feature will be available later this year.

Later this month, Copilot in Microsoft Word will let users reference emails and meetings alongside documents. Users can run a simple prompt to ask the AI to take context from these sources to generate a draft. OneDrive is also getting an AI feature that can process all the files saved on the cloud server to help users find what they’re looking for.

Finally, Copilot Agents are finally being rolled out to enterprise users. These can be understood as mini chatbots that can be programmed for a specific function. The chatbot can also be customised with specific datasets to ensure the output is accurate and relevant. These are autonomous agents, not requiring the users to repetitively send prompts to have them perform a task.

Aishwarya Rai celebrates Aaradhya Bachchan's 13th birthday sans Abhishek Bachchan? See pics


November is a special month for Aishwarya Rai and her family. The actor celebrates her birthday on the first day of the month. This year was extra special as her daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan, turned 13 on November 16, officially entering teenage. Aishwarya’s late father Krishnaraj Rai’s birth anniversary also falls on November 21. (Also Read – Abhishek Bachchan shares how daughter Aaradhya inspired him: ‘You are not ready to give up’)

Aishwarya’s post for father and daughter

Aishwarya took to her Instagram handle on Wednesday night and shared photos on her feed, from both the occasions – her father’s birth anniversary and her daughter’s 13th birthday. In the first few pics, Aishwarya and Aaradhya can be seen with closed eyes and folded hands before a garlanded and framed picture of the late Krishnaraj Rai. Aishwarya, wearing a white salwar suit, also posed with Aaradhya and her mother Vrinda Rai in front of her father’s picture, with a bouquet in their hands.

Her pictures also included throwback ones of a little Aaradhya’s tiny hand presumably playing with that of her late maternal grandfather. Another one was of a silhoutte of Aishwarya kissing a baby Aaradhya in her arms, and another one of the actor kissing a toddler Aaradhya. Then there was a picture of a balloon with the text “You’re officially a teenager, Aaradhya” written on it. The final picture was that of the mother-daughter celebrating the special occasion at a party. Aishwarya held Aaradhya from behind and planted a kiss on her cheeks.

Aishwarya wrote in the caption, “(Loved and sparkle red heart emojis) HAPPY BIRTHDAY 2 THE ETERNAL LOVE OF MY LIFE dearest Daddy-Ajjaa and my darling Aaradhya (red heart emoji) MY HEART… MY SOUL… FOREVER AND BEYOND (star, red heart, and evil eye emojis).” “The way she love her daughter is incredible (heart eyes emoji),” commented a fan. “Aish is the carbon copy of her father seee the shape of eyes baki to bass age vale changes ha (otherwise there only changes courtesy age difference),” wrote another.

Abhishek Bachchan absent from pictures

Curiously, Aishwarya’s husband Abhishek Bachchan wasn’t present in the pictures from either of the occasions. As rumours of their divorce continue, a fan pointed out in the comment section of Aishwarya’s latest post, “The WEDDING Ring still on her hand (applause emojis).”

While there was no post for Aishwarya on her birthday from the Bachchan family, she did wish her father-in-law and veteran actor Amitabh Bachchan on his 82nd birthday last month with a picture of him with Aaradhya. The last time she was seen with Abhishek was during the wedding festivities of Anant Ambani and Radhika Merchant, although they arrived at the venue separately.

While Abhishek will be next seen in I Want To Talk, Be Happy, Housefull 5, and King, Aishwarya last starred in Ponniyin Selvan II.

Priyanka joined Citadel before marrying Nick


Priyanka Chopra Jonas reveals she was on board for 'Citadel' even before she got married to Nick Jonas in 2018: 'I’m so grateful'

Priyanka Chopra was seen in the American version of ‘Citadel‘ by Russo Brothers last year. The web-series won a lot of love from the audience and at the moment, Priyanka is shooting for the second season of the show. Meanwhile, the Indian version of ‘Citadel’ has just released this month all over. It stars Varun Dhawan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu. Fans are already too invested in the way these different worlds are going to connect and there are dots joined already. For instance, a little girl in the Indian version of ‘Citadel’ played Nadia (played by Priyanka) in the American version.
PC has now dropped a picture which seems like different versions of Citadel, from all over the world collaborating. She expressed a long note of gratitude for being a part of this. PC revealed, “I was brought onto the journey of Citadel early 2018 by @jennifersalke , before I was even married. Feels like so long ago! But I’ll never forget being mesmerized by the ambition of the show. To actually connect the world together through storytelling. Now, to finally see the world of Citadel, expanding as originally conceptualized so many years ago, is so gratifying.”

She further added, “To have such talented film makers from around the world create stories that are global but also local and at the same time interconnected, is very cool.. I’m so grateful to be on this journey with all the incredible cast and crew from around the world.. here’s to much more to come.”
Priyanka has shot for ‘The Bluff’ recently, and wrapped it up, before she began work on ‘Citadel’ season 2.

Microsoft Launches ‘Correction’, an AI Feature That Can Detect and Fix AI Hallucinations

Microsoft Launches ‘Correction’, an AI Feature That Can Detect and Fix AI Hallucinations


Microsoft launched a new artificial intelligence (AI) capability on Tuesday that will identify and correct instances when an AI model generates incorrect information. Dubbed “Correction”, the feature is being integrated within Azure AI Content Safety’s groundedness detection system. Since this feature is available only through Azure, it is likely aimed at the tech giant’s enterprise clients. The company is also working on other methods to reduce instances of AI hallucination. Notably, the feature can also show an explanation for why a segment of the text was highlighted as incorrect information.

Microsoft “Corrections” Feature Launched

In a blog post, the Redmond-based tech giant detailed the new feature which is claimed to battle instances of AI hallucination, a phenomenon where AI responds to a query with incorrect information and fails to recognise its falsity.

The feature is available via Microsoft’s Azure services. The Azure AI Content Safety system has a tool dubbed groundedness detection. It identifies whether a response generated is grounded in reality or not. While the tool itself works in many different ways to detect instances of hallucination, the Correction feature works in a specific way.

For Correction to work, users must be connected to Azure’s grounding documents, which are used in document summarisation and Retrieval-Augmentation-Generation-based (RAG) Q&A scenarios. Once connected, users can enable the feature. After that, whenever an ungrounded or incorrect sentence is generated, the feature will trigger a request for correction.

Put simply, the grounding documents can be understood as a guideline that the AI system must follow while generating a response. It can be the source material for the query or a larger database.

Then, the feature will assess the statement against the grounding document and in case it is found to be misinformation, it will be filtered out. However, if the content is in line with the grounding document, the feature might rewrite the sentence to ensure that it is not misinterpreted.

Additionally, users will also have the option to enable reasoning when first setting up the capability. Enabling this will prompt the AI feature to add an explanation on why it thought that the information was incorrect and needed a correction.

A company spokesperson told The Verge that the Correction feature uses small language models (SLMs) and large language models (LLMs) to align outputs with grounding documents. “It is important to note that groundedness detection does not solve for ‘accuracy,’ but helps to align generative AI outputs with grounding documents,” the publication cited the spokesperson as saying.


EPFO Adds 18.8 Lakh Members In September As Employment Rises | Economy News

EPFO Adds 18.8 Lakh Members In September As Employment Rises | Economy News


New Delhi: The Employees’ Provident Fund Organisation (EPFO) has registered a net addition of 18.81 lakh members during September this year which represents a 9.33 per cent growth compared to the same month last year, reflecting increased employment opportunities and heightened awareness of employee benefits, bolstered by EPFO’s effective outreach initiatives, the Ministry of Labour and Employment said on Wednesday.  

The data shows a sharp increase in the number of youngsters, who have got jobs for the first time, and a significant increase in the number of female workers as well. As many as 9.47 lakh of these are new members in September 2024, representing an increase of 6.22 per cent over the corresponding figure for September 2023.

This surge in new memberships can be attributed to growing employment opportunities in the organised sector of the Indian economy, the statement said. A noticeable aspect of the data is the dominance of the 18-25 age group, constituting a significant 59.95 per cent of the total new members added in September 2024.

In addition, the net payroll data for the age group 18-25 for September 2024 is 8.36 lakh, which depicts a 9.14 per cent year-on-year growth as compared to September 2023 data. This is in consonance with the earlier trend which indicates that most individuals joining the organised workforce are youth, primarily first-time job seekers, the statement said.

The payroll data highlights that approximately 14.10 lakh members exited and subsequently rejoined the EPFO. This figure depicts year-over-year growth of 18.19 per cent compared to September 2023. These members switched their jobs and re-joined the establishments covered under the ambit of the EPFO and opted to transfer their accumulations instead of applying for final settlement thus, safeguarding long-term financial well-being and extending their social security protection.

A gender-wise analysis of payroll data unveils that out of the new members added during the month, 2.47 lakh are new female members. This figure exhibits year-over-year growth of 9.11 per cent compared to September 2023. Also, the net female member addition during the month stood at around 3.70 lakh. It reflects a year-over-year growth of 12.11 per cent compared to September 2023. The surge in female member additions is indicative of a broader shift towards a more inclusive and diverse workforce.

A state-wise analysis of payroll data denotes that net member addition in the top five states/ UTs constitutes 59.86 per cent of net member addition, adding a total of 11.26 lakh net members during the month. Of all the states, Maharashtra is leading by adding 21.20 per cent of net members during the month. The states/UTs of Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Delhi, Haryana, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh, and Telangana individually added more than 5 per cent of the total net members during the month.

A comparison of industry-wise data displays significant growth in the members working in establishments engaged in the industries viz. expert services, trading – commercial establishments, electrical, mechanical or general engineering products, garments making, establishments engaged in cleaning, sweeping services, hospitals, financing establishments, companies/societies/associations/clubs/troupes for performances etc.

Of the total net membership, around 41.69 per cent addition is from expert services (consisting of manpower suppliers, normal contractors, security services, miscellaneous activities etc. The payroll data is provisional since data generation is an ongoing exercise, as updating employee records is a continuous process, the statement added.
