White Falcon Publishing which as published my book “DGPSI-The perfect prescription for DPDPA Compliance” is organizing a literary meet today in Bangalore for authors in Bangalore.

As part of the event there will be a panel discussion on “Algorithms as Story Tellers”

The relevant  works at White Falcon Publishing of the panellists are as follows

Look forward to the discussions.

FDPPI successfully completed the Chennai leg of IDPS 2025 today at MMA auditorium. Event was co-hosted by MMA and was well attended.

The event was inaugurated by Mr H Shankar, the MD of Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd, followed by 5 panel discussions on different  topics surrounding DPDPA  and AI DPDPA and AI.

While one school of development in the Computer technology is working on transformation from the current Binary System of  Classical Computing to the Quantum Computing where a bit can take the status of either o or 1 so that a Qubit based systems can process faster.

Now there is another school of thought that we can start using a “Ternary” system where a bit can assume a value of -1 or 0 or 1 instead of just 0 and 1. This means that two bits together can assume  9 values instead of 4 in the Binary system.

In terms of processing, a Quantum Computer can simultaneously process multiple super positioning states while Binary or Ternary computers can only process in finite 4 or 9 values at a time.

Thus  it appears that storage wise, a ternary system is more efficient than quantum system and processing wise, quantum computing is faster.

At a time when we are trying to take on US in innovation, we need to therefore think how we can leverage this concept of “Ternary” chips.

It is reported that Huawei has already produced a Ternary Chip and India should also try to conduct its research in this direction.

In terms of certainty of data and its evidentiary value, Ternary chips are better than Qubits. On the other hand a Qubit has an uncertain value and is therefore  not reliable as a data store.

In the AI scenario, uncertainty of bit level values in a Qubit can add a higher probability of “hallucination” making AI even more risky than it currently is. Hence a Ternary based AI system may be considered better than a Qubit based AI system.

Probably in future, the Classical computers may transit into Ternary/Trit chip Computing with Quantum Computing supporting the Ternary Computers with faster processing.

Bit, Trit and Qubit  may be the three different types of computer storage units with which the future of computing may progress. The law needs to catch up with these technical developments as much as the developments of AI and Quantum computing.

Probably we need to debate this aspect in upcoming technology debates.

Naavi  welcomes a debate in this direction.

In a surprising move, a Government seems to have taken Governance to ridiculous lengths by appointing an AI Chatbot as a Minsiter.

In the past we  have seen a humanoid robot being given citizenship of a country and another humanoid robot appointed as CEO of a MNC.

Now  we may see more bizarre events of AI becoming ministers in Government.

Interesting but disturbing developments.  Hope these AI devices donot start “Hallucinating”.

According to the Prime minister,

“Diella” will oversee and allocate all public tenders that the government assigns to private firms. “[It] is the first member of government who is not physically present, but virtually created by artificial intelligence,” She will help make Albania “a country where public procurement is 100% corruption-free.”

In the recent gazette notifications, Government of India has added two Airport terminals namely Delhi International Airports Ltd   and GMR Hyderabad International Airports as part of “Protected Systems” under section 70B of ITA 2000.

Additionally following entities have also been declared Protected systems in different categories.

1.Bandhan Bank 

2.Jammu and Kashmir Bank

3.South Indian Bank

4.Tamilnadu Mercantile Bank Ltd

5.Punjab and Sindh Bank

6.Government of India e Market place

The implications of this declaration for the organizations is that they are now under direct control of CERT IN for their information security management. Their IS policy needs to be approved by CERT In and a representative of CERT In should in in the IS Governance committee.

For the employees and public it is necessary to consider that any “Attempt” to access such systems outside the permitted mode will be considered as a cognizable offence with an imprisonment of 7 years.

Being declared a “Protected System” is not a feather in the cap of the institutions. It is more an admission that they cannot be relied upon to handle their Cyber Security and needs close supervision.

In a way it indicates that their IS management system is “Sick” and needs oversight from a National security agency. It is surprising to see small Banks like Bandhan Bank in this list.

The IDPS 2025 (Indian Data Protection Summit 2025) of FDPPI being conducted in Chennai on 27th September 2025 will consist of five different panel discussions namely

1.Global and Indian Legal Landscape
2.Sectoral & Operational Challenges
3.Technology & Tools for Compliance
4.Sectoral Self-Regulation & Governance
5.Looking Ahead: From Awareness to Action

During these five sessions the entire landscape of DPDPA and the Challenges faced by organizations especially with the advent of AI would be discussed by different professionals.

The program will be inaugurated with a keynote speech from Sri H Shankar, MD, Chennai Petroleum Corporation Ltd

A glimpse of the speakers  in different panels are shown below.

We look forward to wide participation from the industry.

REGISTRATION OF DELEGATES is open .
