RBI Booklet on Modus Operandi of Financial Fraudsters
There has been a sizable surge in usage of digital modes of payment during the recent years. This has not only led to improved customer convenience, but also contributed to achievement of national objective of financial inclusion to a great extent. As the ease of doing financial transactions improved, the number of frauds in retail financial transactions have gone up. Fraudsters have been using innovative methods to defraud the hard-earned money of common and gullible people, especially new entrants who are not entirely familiar with the techno-financial eco-system.
In compiling this booklet, the sole objective has been to pack between its covers maximum possible extent of practical information of real value, especially for those who are inexperienced in financial transactions. It is not just a collection of incidents, gathered at random from various sources, but a meticulously compiled document from the variety of complaints received at offices of Banking Ombudsman. This booklet is an attempt at creating awareness among public about the modus operandi of the fraudsters, while also providing some inputs about precautions to adopt while carrying out financial transactions. This booklet emphasizes the need to keep one’s personal information safe, beware of unknown calls/emails, practicing due diligence while performing financial transactions and changing the secure credentials/ passwords from time to time. Hence the title BE(A)WARE
This booklet is part of the public awareness building initiative by RBI.

2021's Top Stories About AI
2021 was the year in which the wonders of artificial intelligence stopped being a story. Which is not to say that IEEE Spectrum didn't cover AI—we covered the heck out of it. But we all know that deep learning can do wondrous things and that it's being rapidly incorporated into many industries; that's yesterday's news. Many of this year's top articles grappled with the limits of deep learning (today's dominant strand of AI) and spotlighted researchers seeking new paths.
Here are the 10 most popular AI articles that Spectrum published in 2021, ranked by the amount of time people spent reading them.
Spoiler: A lot of them talked about what's wrong with machine learning today

The World’s First Programmable Organism
Xenobots may change how we think about intelligence.
In January 2020, as a new plague began to upend life on Earth, a small research team from Tufts, the University of Vermont, and Harvard announced that they, too, had turned life on Earth upside-down. Their discovery wasn’t quite so dramatic at first glance. Any regular person peering through a microscope at their creation would see little more than a few globs of dirty pond water in a petri dish. But those globs were alive; in fact, they were alive in a way that nothing has ever been alive before, in an uncharted space between biology and technology. They called them Xenobots, the world’s first living robot—the world’s first programmable organism.

Rise of Bots: What You Need to Know
It seems we are both suspicious and scared of what we imagine they may become. Never mind the contributions of robotics already. Their abilities to diffuse bombs. Or the robot’s use in farming to increase crop yields. Or even their use in pharmacies improving on the accuracy of medical prescriptions. It’s therefore probably time to redress the balance and take a more realistic vision of what robotics can accomplish. Especially now that robots have landed in the workplace.
Over the next few years, robots will expand their skill sets, revealing impressive performance and retention rates, and moving up the ladder. More than just machines, working diligently to manufacture devices, vehicles, and machines, now robots come in all shapes and sizes. Here is a sample of robot types that we'll be discussing

Sifted’s 10 most-read stories of 2021

Mental Models: 349 Models Explained to Carry Around in Your Head
People’s views of the world, of themselves, of their own capabilities, and of the tasks that they are asked to perform, or topics they are asked to learn, depend heavily on the conceptualizations that they bring to the task. And so, every discipline of thought has its own set of models learned through coursework, mentorship, or first-hand experience.
Combining these models – or ideas – produces a cohesive understanding. Not combining them produces dangerous results.
Those who cultivate the broad view of ideas are well on their way to achieving worldly wisdom. But we can only get there by doing worldly studies over a long period of time, slowly building on top of the models already existing in our heads.
The following list is a rather comprehensive collection of useful models, frameworks, thinking tools, and mental representations to understand the world, filter signal from noise, and shape connections.
The goal of thinking in terms of mental models is to continually refine our personal vision, to seek broadening of thought, to develop patience, and to seek objective reality.

How philosophy is making me a better scientist
“If it can help us to think critically about science and our goals, and to recognize that scientific progress is rooted in creative philosophical enquiry, and if it can prompt us to ask important questions, then I think we could all benefit from reading more philosophy.” In April, genomics data scientist Rasha Shraim, who also has a degree in philosophy, shared some resources for scientists who want to think more deeply about ethics, logic and other big questions.
Rasha Shraim’s education helped her to think more deeply about ethics, logic and other big questions.

9 must-read books to make you a stronger communicator
Deliver the right message in conversations, emails, and presentations
The single biggest problem in communication is when someone has the illusion that they have communicated – but their message did not get through. IT leaders need to convey an incredible amount of information to succeed in their roles. However, getting those messages across effectively can be a challenge, particularly with the many demands on people’s time and attention, the varied forms of media you must employ, and the sometimes charged or difficult nature of the communications you have to deliver.
Thankfully, there is plentiful advice on being a better communicator. We’ve gathered some of the best books out there to help IT leaders deliver the right message, the right way, at the right time – whether you’re having a difficult discussion with a subordinate, delivering critical data to the C-suite, presenting at a conference, persuading a peer, or simply sending a status update via email.
