Is AI technology a companion of truth or its competitor?

The advancement of AI technology has revolutionized every aspect of our lives. However, alongside this progress, an invisible crisis is also unfolding—the line between truth and falsehood is becoming increasingly blurred. We now live in a reality where what we see, hear, or even receive from trusted sources can no longer be taken at face value. AI has made it possible to present lies as truth, and even distort the truth so convincingly that it creates dangerous confusion.

Lowering internet prices could unlock major opportunities

There is no doubt that internet speed in our country—whether through fixed broadband or mobile internet—still lags behind in comparison to many other places. The silver lining, however, is that the current interim government's telecom leadership has shown genuine intent to make quality internet services available at affordable prices for the people. If this intent is matched with trust and cooperation from the operators who understand the value of internet at various levels, then delivering quality service at a lower cost isn’t a far-fetched goal.

Make the right decision through technical query

The government and the Telecommunication Regulatory Commission (BTRC) are apparently in a state of muddle over the reform of the telecommunications sector. In the meantime, mobile operators are trying to ensure the future control of their business by 'seizing the opportunity'. I am using the word 'seizing the opportunity' because despite repeated attempts during the previous two political governments, mobile operators did not get the desired decision in their favor. Now they are trying to cash in on the situation if they can somehow implement their desired decision during the interim government. Such an attempt has clearly been observed since the current government took office. On the other hand, network transmission operators built with domestic investment, interconnection exchanges, international gateways, and international internet gateway operators, want to preserve the existence of their systems.

Deficits and tariffs: Trump confusions and what can be done about them

The US has a persistent trade deficit with Sri Lanka. Despite almost universal agreement among economists that trade deficits, especially between two countries, are not meaningful, President Trump believes otherwise. As he assumed office, he asked his officials to “investigate and remedy” persistent US trade deficits. Sri Lanka-US trade shows a deficit of USD 2.6 billion following an increase of 6.3 percent in 2024. Sri Lanka was responsible for 0.28 percent of the total US trade deficit. Even if it were eliminated, there would be no discernible impact on the total.

Why PII and Sovereign Data may not be suitable to keep in foreign owned Data Centres?

Foreign-owned data centers may still be subject to the laws and regulations of the country where the parent company is based. This can lead to conflicts and complications in legal matters, as the data might be accessible to foreign governments under their jurisdiction.

Teachers, researchers duped by fake conferences run from India

The titles of the conferences are well-thought-out and timely. The names of the organizing bodies are also attractive. The websites of these organizations are well-designed and professional, making it easy for anyone to believe that they are legitimate international research institutions or organizations. However, in reality, these sites are traps set by an organized fraud network. Every year, they list nearly a hundred conferences on their websites, collecting conference fees and defrauding participants out of hundreds of dollars. This organized group operates through almost 20 different websites under various names. According to Views Bangladesh's investigation, the group is being run from India. Members of this scam network are spread across several countries. The investigation also found evidence that a Bangladeshi citizen is involved with this fraudulent group. One of the scammers' websites, “Sciencesociety.co”has the profile of a Bangladeshi individual who works as a faculty member at a private university.

If there is anything everyone supports, it’s digitalization of government.
