Ex-CJI Chandrachud joins NLU Delhi as professor, to head centre for constitutional studies Education

As special guests of honour, Kailash Gahlot, Minister of Law, Justice, and Legislative Affairs, Government of NCT of Delhi, and Atishi, Minister of Finance, Planning, and Higher Education, both attended the event. The team agrees that right now we are struggling to find good use cases for bots. It doesn’t take a genius to realize that even the best conversational AIs available today are little more than glorified voice-activated remote controls. RASA won’t solve this, but it might make it easier for an unconventional player to get into the game. LASTMILE’s team is based in Berlin, Germany but Weidauer and his co-founder Alan Nichol hope their project can bolster the entire bot ecosystem. To date, LASTMILE has raised seed capital from Techstars and a few angels.

In addition to RASA, the group has a dedicated product for enterprise customers. Existing tools like Wit.ai, Api.ai and LUIS provide the same critical service, but they are all tied to major tech companies — Facebook, Google and Microsoft respectively.

• Apart from this, NLU has also launched a PhD programme in social sciences.
• But for everyone else, natural language APIs are more than sufficient for pulling structured data out of human language.
• RASA NLU, a new open source API from LASTMILE, supports developer’s bot efforts by reducing the barriers to implementing natural language processing.

NLU Delhi 10th Convocation: 167 students awarded BA LLB, LLM, and PhD degrees

New Delhi, Former Chief Justice of India D Y Chandrachud has been appointed as a distinguished professor at the National Law University , Delhi, marking what the institution termed a „transformative chapter“ in Indian legal education. For folks who don’t spend a lot of time with engineers, APIs allow developers to rapidly create products without having to reinvent the wheel. Natural language processing, i.e converting human language into something a computer can understand, is pretty difficult but incredibly necessary for creating bots.

Introduction of schemes at NLU and launch of PhD programme in social sciences

If you had a billion dollar idea to revolutionize conversational AI, you would probably want to hire some PhDs and build your product from scratch. But for everyone else, natural language APIs are more than sufficient for pulling structured data out of human language. Most of the other natural language APIs are free for tinkerers at the start and only start charging after a predetermined number of requests. But, if you’re looking to push a bot to market you probably want more ownership over your product. RASA NLU, a new open source API from LASTMILE, supports developer’s bot efforts by reducing the barriers to implementing natural language processing.

25 companies have been using RASA NLU in closed beta, but now everyone will be able to access the libraries on Github. Apart from this, NLU has also launched a PhD programme in social sciences. VC informed that six Chief Minister’s fellowships with a value of Rs 50,000 per month will be awarded to graduate students who will collaborate with government departments in policy-making. If we hope to break beyond the rigid functionality of today’s tools, a prerequisite is going to be giving bot developers a bit more open source love. The degrees were conferred by Justice Satish Chandra Sharma, Chief Justice of the High Court of Delhi and Chancellor of NLU Delhi.

Bots Now Dominate Online Shopping Traffic, New Report Reveals

The company, which sparked the frenzy over AI in 2022 with its technological advances, debuted its search tool last year. It said it was among its most popular and fastest growing features, with over one billion web searches in the last week. So what happened to Bot-It after its big „Shark Tank“ appearance? Well, since this pitch ended with a Mark Cuban investment, our first step is checking the „Shark Tank“ investments page on his official  MarkCubanCompanies.com website.

Whaitua is an online mapping tool that visualises critical information about whānau households and their communities across the social and economic determinants of health. OpenAI said the goal of its update was to make it „faster to find, compare, and buy products“. It said the feature would be available to all users but it would take a few days for the rollout to be complete. Adding shopping to its search puts OpenAI into even more direct competition with Google, as well other websites that offer product reviews, such as the New York Times and other publishers. Google is still by far the dominant player in search, capturing roughly 89% of global traffic, according to analyst estimates. But its share of the market has been slowly slipping in recent months.

What’s next for Bot-It?

It was co-designed with whānau who have lived experience of gambling harm, ensuring every part of the app feels supportive, culturally grounded, and whānau friendly. OpenAI also unveiled a feature that would allow users to text chatGPT for live sports scores and would provide multiple citations in its answers. The change was one of several announced on Monday as part of a wider update to its search product.

CYBERSECURITY

According toRadware’s 2025 E-commerce Bot Threat Report,automated bots made up 57% of all visits to e-commercewebsites during the 2024 holiday season. It’s the firsttime bots — computer programs that mimic human behaviouronline — have outpaced real shoppers. Theface of online shopping is changing — and not necessarilyfor the better.

In Cape Town (booth 17), Radware will be exhibiting with its distributor Boston IT Solutions South Africa, a unit of Boston Limited Group and leading provider of custom IT systems and services across sub-Saharan Africa. Radware will be joined by South African cyber security specialist Obscure Technologies in Johannesburg (booth 23). As shoppinghabits continue to shift online, especially via smartphones,the growing presence of bots could affect everything fromproduct availability to website performance and even theprices consumers pay. On the iPhone App Store, Bot-It averages a 2.3 out of 5 stars rating from 56 users, just 10 of which submitted written reviews. The issues raised by the negative reviewers pertained mainly to issues with getting subscription cancelation to work, the policy of no refunds after a bot is up and running, and difficulty getting the bot to work correctly for booking reservations at certain popular golf courses. The positive reviews, meanwhile, were largely golf course-centric, with no references to concert tickets, dinner reservations, or anything else of interest to non-golfers.

• Radware will be addressing its new report and advanced protection strategies at the ITWeb Security Summit 2025 as a Gold sponsor.
• The event will take place at CTICC, Cape Town on 28 May 2025, and at Sandton Convention Centre in Sandton, Johannesburg, on 3-4 June 2025.
• In Cape Town (booth 17), Radware will be exhibiting with its distributor Boston IT Solutions South Africa, a unit of Boston Limited Group and leading provider of custom IT systems and services across sub-Saharan Africa.
• The report suggests that retailers willneed to adopt smarter, AI-powered security tools that candistinguish between real customers and sophisticated bots— or risk falling victim to fraud, lost revenue, andreputational damage.
• OpenAI also unveiled a feature that would allow users to text chatGPT for live sports scores and would provide multiple citations in its answers.

It said the update would allow users to see prices and reviews more easily, as well as find direct links to purchase personalised product recommendations. As for the future, Maurice Bachelor commented on what’s next in a January 2024 interview with Eqvis, where he revealed that Bot-It completed a funding round recently. „We plan on utilizing the funding in many different ways,“ he said. He just wants to continue to try to even the playing field for the averaging person who competes with large-scale botnets. Pātea, meaning to be free or lifted of burden, is an indigenously designed, built, and operated digital platform, the first of its kind globally.

Two weeks after the episode premiered, Bachelor was interviewed by WEWS-TV, his hometown ABC affiliate in Cleveland, Ohio. „Shark Tank“ has seen plenty of tech-savvy pitches over the years, such as the Fixed App from Season 7 and the CoinOut App from Season 9. Both Mark Cuban and guest shark Michael Rubin of Fanatic showed interest, with Rubin, in particular, wanting to have the potential disruptor as part of his portfolio instead of on the outside.
