Say Hello to the Anti-Deepfake Headset: Keeping It Real Online https://todaynow.in/say-hello-to-the-anti-deepfake-headset-keeping-it-real-online/ Wed, 01 May 2024 13:48:48 +0000 https://todaynow.in/?p=6213 Picture this: you’re chatting with someone online, but you’re not sure if they’re a real person or just a computer pretending to be human. Sounds confusing, right? Well, with all the fancy technology out there, telling humans apart from robots has become a real challenge.

Back in the day, we could use simple tests like those squiggly letters you had to type in (we called them CAPTCHAs) to prove we were human. But now, even in video calls, it’s hard to be sure if the person on the other end is actually real.

Just like how we had special codes to make sure we were talking to the right computers online, we now need something similar for humans. We call it the Identifiable Human Standard (IHS). It’s like a stamp of approval that confirms you’re talking to a real person.

People have tried all sorts of ways to prove they’re human, like scanning fingerprints or taking photos with special cameras. But the problem is, these methods can be tricked or copied.

That’s where the Anti-Deepfake Headset comes in. It’s a cool gadget that uses the shape of your face and special lenses to make sure there’s a real person in front of you.

Unlike fingerprints or DNA, which can be copied easily, your face is super unique and hard to fake. That’s why the Anti-Deepfake Headset is so smart—it can tell if someone’s trying to pretend to be you.

By looking at things like how your face moves and the sound of your voice, this headset can spot if someone’s trying to trick you with fake videos or recordings.

In a world where fake stuff is everywhere online, having an Anti-Deepfake Headset can help us trust each other more. It’s like having a superpower that lets us know when we’re talking to real people, not just robots pretending to be human. So, next time you’re chatting online, remember: with the Anti-Deepfake Headset, real is the deal!

Cashaa’s New Era: CEO Appointment, Commitment to CAS Ecosystem Expansion https://todaynow.in/cashaas-new-era-ceo-appointment-commitment-to-cas-ecosystem-expansion/ Mon, 29 Apr 2024 12:48:28 +0000 https://todaynow.in/?p=6210
  • This transformative decision aligns with Cashaa’s vision of focusing on onboarding millions of users onto its new wallet.
  • The company will introduce a wallet enabling users to buy, store, spend, earn yield, and take loans against their crypto deposits, all geared towards increasing the usage of its native token, the CAS token.
  • As a testament to its commitment, Cashaa has recently acquired 100 million CAS tokens from the market, signaling its unwavering support for CAS ecosystem expansion
  • India, 29th, April 2024: Cashaa, a prominent neo-bank for crypto businesses, has announced a strategic shift in its business model, marking the discontinuation of banking services for crypto and other high-risk businesses. Cashaa will no longer provide services such as US Dollar and Euro IBAN business banking accounts. They had stopped taking new business customers for banking services earlier this year and all operations related to providing the aforementioned banking services will cease on 30th May 2024. Business customers using the Cashaa wallet for earning yield and lending services will have no impact.

    The company is working on introducing an all-in-one wallet that will enable users to buy, store, spend, earn, and take loans on crypto- all geared towards increasing the adoption of the Cashaa native token called CAS. Cashaa has already released a Beta wallet which has been tested by more than 3,000 users in the last 6 months. Existing business customers such as crypto exchanges, blockchain development companies, and other wallet providers are also part of this Beta test group, using its yield and lending services. Cashaa is aiming to provide the same trust and security that it has given to hundreds of crypto companies till now, to millions of retail users. In the first phase, Cashaa’s upcoming all-in-one wallet is going to be released in six new markets outside of Europe, giving users outside of Europe to buy, sell, earn, and borrow crypto in their local currencies. The release will be done in Europe (EUR), India (INR), Turkey (TRY), United Arab Emirates (AED), Indonesia (IDR), Kenya (KES), and South Africa (ZAR) in June 2024.

    “Cashaa is one of the most trusted financial institutions which has facilitated the movement of millions of dollars for crypto businesses without facing any security breaches, regulatory sanctions, or fines since the last 8 years. Our track record underscores our commitment to security, reliability, and regulatory compliance.  We believe the year 2024 is the year of mainstream adoption of crypto with the likes of Black Rock and many trillion-dollar institutions entering the space, especially post Bitcoin ETF approvals by the SEC. This will bring billions of new users who had never considered crypto as an asset class. Cashaa will now focus on providing the same trust, commitment, and security to these new users who are getting ready to come into the crypto space.” – Kumar Gaurav, Founder

    Cashaa is a perfect example of Real-world assets (RWA) in the Blockchain world that has survived for over 8 years, solely based on its product proposition and consistent revenue streams. All future Cashaa products will be designed to benefit the CAS token. To show its commitment to CAS, in the past few months, Cashaa has acquired 100 Million CAS tokens from the market for the expansion of the CAS ecosystem, signaling its unwavering support for CAS ecosystem expansion.

    To lead the new era of Cashaa and its transition from business banking to crypto banking  Mr. Amjad Raza Khan, co-founder and architect of Cashaa wallet has been appointed as the new CEO.

    “After careful evaluation of our historical strength and long-standing trust that we have given to the industry, we have decided to make multiple strategic changes in the company to make Cashaa a well-known brand among millions of users expected to come into the crypto space during the next bull market. We are completing our regulatory, product, and corporate restructuring towards the growth of the CAS token and its ecosystem. ” –  Amjad Raza Khan, Co-founder & CEO

    IGNITE INDIA – Making Women Stand! https://todaynow.in/ignite-india-making-women-stand/ Mon, 08 Apr 2024 08:28:27 +0000 https://todaynow.in/?p=6186 A common critique of microfinance has always been that it fails to reach all demographic groups equally and those at the bottom of the income ladder. Vivaan Garg, a 16 year old student studying in Delhi’s Vasant Valley School has always been passionate about using public policy and economics as a tool for solving societal problems.

    First taking note of this problem while coming across a piece of research he delved deeper and found out the prevalence of this problem in low income areas near his neighbourhood talking to different marginalised women. “I spoke to several very low income women who ran small enterprises like a fruit or a tea stall and got to know that getting credit to expand or finance current needs was like a mere fantasy” says Vivaan.

    Using his organisation Ignite India which he founded when he was just a young adolescent of 14 to help underrepresented NGOs create an online presence he enlisted the help of 50+ volunteers across Delhi NCR to identify low income women in multiple slums. The first set of volunteers started work from the beginning of 2023 in January. “Working in the slums was an eye-opening experience living a very sheltered life away from the pressing problems of society” says Vedansh, a volunteer at Ignite India. Till now, Ignite India has managed to identify 850+ women and even managed to secure loans for more than 300 by partnering with an NGO already doing work in the field. They categorise the identified women as marginalised within the marginalised: women who are from underrepresented demographic groups like scheduled castes and face the dual burden of being low income and facing discrimination”. The beneficiaries range from women starting their business for the first time to some using the funds for working capital needs for existing businesses.

    Ignite India has plans to expand their reach even further and are currently developing a curriculum for microloan beneficiaries to teach them about things ranging from insurance claim filing to cash flow management. “We plan to use technology that is accessible to all loan beneficiaries: we have tried several mediums but we believe sending their curriculum through regular text messages which may be categorised as simplistic has the potential to reach the maximum number of people. Ignite India is targeting a minimum of 3000 women through this medium very soon and has plans to expand this reach even further within the next few months.
