The most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), which directs traffic across the Internet and serves as an identity and location system for machines on networks, is known as Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). The “IPv6 Index Portal”  is released by the National Internet Exchange Of India (NIXI), which provides information regarding IPv6 adoption, IPv6 traffic, websites on IPv6, and other topics in India and other nations. The global and Indian IPv6 adoption rates will be displayed on the NIXI-IP-INDEX portal. It can be used to compare India’s adoption rate of IPv6 to that of other nations’ economies. In the upcoming days, NIXI will saturate this portal with web adoption in IPv6, IPv6 traffic, etc. This webpage will encourage businesses to adopt IPv6 while also giving technical organisations and academic researchers information for planning.

Statement 1 is incorrect: The Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) is a multi-stakeholder effort that seeks to close the knowledge gap between theory and application of artificial intelligence by funding innovative research and practical initiatives on AI-related topics. GPAI is hosted by the Organisation For Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). OECD also contributes experts to the working groups of GPAI and the annual Multi-stakeholder Experts Group Plenary. It is a permanent observer to the governing bodies of GPAI.

Statement 2 is correct: The funding research and practical initiatives in fields that are immediately pertinent to decision-makers in the field of artificial intelligence, GPAI aims to close the gap between theory and practice. It gathers experts from business, civic society, governments, and academia together to discuss the opportunities and problems that artificial intelligence presents. India will take over the chair of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence for 2022-23 and will host the annual summit in December 2023. The summit will be held from December 12-14 in New Delhi.

Statement 1 is incorrect: Cloud computing is the delivery of different services through the Internet. These resources include tools and applications like data storage, servers, databases, networking and software. In cloud computing, computation is not done at the source, while Edge computing is a distributed information technology architecture in which client data is processed at the periphery of the network. Data is analyzed locally and at source. 

Statement 2 is incorrect: As compared to edge computing the average response and processing time in cloud computing is much more. The average response time in cloud computing is minutes or days while in edge computing it is milliseconds

Study Webs of Active-Learning for Young Aspiring Minds (SWAYAM):

• SWAYAM is a publicly funded Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) platform launched in 2017 by the Ministry of Education.
• It is driven by the National Education Policies principles of inclusivity and cross-disciplinary learning.
• SWAYAM aims to provide free online courses to a wide range of learners across the country.

• By 2025, India is expected to have 900 million active internet users.
• This will lead to a significant increase in the user community of SWAYAM.
• The platform will need to leverage AI-based learning and teaching services to cater to the growing demand.

Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines that are programmed to think like humans and mimic their actions. For Example:  ChatGPT 

Types of Artificial Intelligence

• Weak artificial intelligence: It embodies a system designed to carry out one particular job.  For Example: Amazon’s Alexa and Apple’s Siri. 
• Strong Artificial Intelligence: These systems carry on the tasks considered to be human-like. They are programmed to handle situations in which they may be required to problem-solve without having a person intervene.For Example: These kinds of systems can be found in applications like self-driving cars or in hospital operating rooms.

Smart machines that are not artificial intelligence (AI) don’t need training data; they merely use algorithms. As a result of being programmed with predefined algorithms, smart machines always operate at the same level of efficiency.

Non-AI machines are incapable of making judgments on their own. An automatic door in a mall appears to be AI-enabled, although it was just made using sensor technology.
