Apple - CleanMax JV for 6 Rooftop Solar Projects to Power Operations in India

 The 14.4 Megawatts project to power offices and two retail stores in Mumbai and New Delhi




iphone -maker Apple has formed a joint venture with renewable energy developer CleanMax to invest in six rooftop solar projects to power its India operations, the world's second biggest company by market value said Wednesday .

The solar project will have a total size of 14.4 megawatts ,which will provide a local solution to power the company's offices and the two retail stores Mumbai and New Delhi the cupertino -bassed smartphone major said in a statement .The company didn't provide any financial details .The announcement comes amidst a global ramp- up in investment in clean energy and water around the world by Apple,with the goal to be carbon neutral across its entire value chain by end of this decade .More than 18 gigawatts of clean electricity now power Apple's global operations and manufacturing supply chain, more than triple the amount in 2020 ,the company said.

As part of its broader environment efforts ,Apple also advanced progress towords another ambitious 2030 goal: to replenish 100% of the freshwater used in corporate operations in high -strees locations .The company has initiatives to replenish fresh water reserves in the Telangana and Maharashtra,Apple said. Last year Apple achievedits target for 100% replenishment for the comapany's corporate operations in India through its ongoing work with Uptime  Catalyst facillity ,the comany said .In 2023 ,Apple's support  provided 23 million gallons of clean ,affordable driking water to communities from over 300 water kiosks run by  local enterpreneurs in the performance -bassed program .In 2021 ,Apple's data centre in prineville ,Oregon , become the first-ever  data centre certified to the  Alliance for  water  stewardship  International  Water  stewardship standard a trusted global framework  for measuring responsible watr stewardship.

  The Impact of Artificial Intelligence on Employment: Replacing Jobs or Creating Opportunities? Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly evolved, becoming an integral part of various industries, revolutionizing the way we live and work. However, the increasing integration of AI has sparked debates about its impact on employment. Is AI a threat, replacing jobs and leaving a trail of unemployment, or is it a catalyst for new opportunities, creating jobs we never imagined? The Job Replacement Narrative: Critics often argue that AI will lead to massive job displacement, especially in routine and repetitive tasks. Automation has already made its mark in industries like manufacturing, where robots have taken over assembly lines. Similarly, the rise of AI-powered chatbots and virtual assistants has impacted customer service roles. As AI continues to advance, it is expected to replace certain jobs that involve predictable, rule-based tasks. However, history tells us that technological adv...

  What is LAM, Microsoft’s new AI model designed to perform tasks? LAMs are seen as a significant step towards achieving AGI, as these models not only respond but also act upon instructions. As we have been observing, large language models (LLMs) are at the forefront of rapid progress in AI as they have been enabling chatbots, text generation, and even code writing. Although LLMs are good at understanding and generating text, they grapple when it comes to performing tasks in real-world environments. Researchers at Microsoft have created what they call a Large Action Model (LAM), an AI model that can operate Windows programs on its own.  Large Action Models (LAMs) represent a significant advancement in artificial intelligence, enabling AI systems to execute complex tasks based on human instructions. LAMs mark the shift from AI models that only talk to models that can actually perform tasks. What are LAM models? Traditional AI models mainly process and generate text, but LAMs ta...

Data Science Scope in India (2024)

Image
  Data Science Scope in India (2024) Data science is an emerging field in India with huge potential and opportunities for growth. As more companies make decisions on data, the demand for data scientists will increase exponentially in the coming years. This blog discusses the scope of data science in various industries, required skills, job roles, salary trends, and future prospects in India. In 2017, the Economist made headlines stating, “The world’s most valuable resource is no longer oil, but data.” Now, this analogy may seem to be a little odd in the first place, but if we dive deeper, just like oil was a valuable asset for organizations years ago, it has now been replaced by data. As the business world inches closer to digitalization, data has become more important than ever. Scope of Data Science in India With data being termed as the future oil for organizations, analytics have become an engine that drives it to arrive at meaningful insights. The powerful combination of both ...
