The frequency of domestic gas cylinder usage comes with an inherent risk of leakage, which can lead to dangerous accidents and potentially catastrophic events. Addressing this issue, we have developed an integrated safety system employing artificial intelligence (AI) to enhance household safety and reduce the risks associated with gas cylinder leaks. Our approach utilizes a network of sensors to monitor the gas cylinder, promptly detecting any leakage. Once detected, this information is relayed to a central device equipped with AI capabilities. This intelligent device assesses the severity of the leakage and executes a multi-faceted response strategy. It communicates an alert to the user’s mobile phone application, activates an audible alarm system, and initiates an automatic mechanism attempting to shut off the cylinder’s nozzle to prevent further gas escape. Our experimental results have shown that the system not only detects leaks with high accuracy but also effectively categorizes the severity of leakages, thereby allowing for timely and appropriate responses. Moreover, the automatic shutoff feature has demonstrated efficiency in minimizing the potential damage from gas leaks. This innovative system offers a promising solution to enhance household safety by using AI to detect and manage gas cylinder leaks, creating a safer environment for domestic energy usage.

Researchers have widely studied the recommender system from various aspects. Due to the massive amount of data and availability of computational power, finding relevant items to recommend to users in order to increase engagement got the attention of researchers. Graph ranking algorithm is used widely in recommendation systems. BiRank algorithm is proposed to rank nodes in a bipartite graph in a way that is normalized row-wise and column-wise. In this paper, an attempt has been made to utilize this algorithm in order to solve the distrust issue in the system, such as the user not wanting to see more like that item or not wanting to see from that source of data or user. In order to solve this problem, the study initializes the Birank algorithm with a mask matrix where those distrusted items or users will be initialized with a large negative value so that they get the lowest rank and do not appear in the top recommended items. Based on the experiments, the study found that our model outperformed the previous model and utilized the distrust factor effectively in one model.

Technological advancement changes how we live, operate and carry out day-to-day functions. The introduction of new technological innovations brings, on the one hand, opportunities and, on the other hand, challenges and threats as well. This has been the case with almost all technological innovations, including Artificial intelligence (AI). In contemporary times, we are witnessing the emergence and rise of AI, thereby affecting all the spheres of our lives. Although AI’s emergence could positively affect our lives by bringing numerous advantages, there are apprehensions about the misuse of AI and its threats. The potential dangers of AI misuse are a cause for concern and caution. AI affects not only the education, health, manufacturing, and economic sectors but also the political and social spheres. There have been cases, particularly in the political sphere, where political actors have misused AI against their opponents for political gains, particularly with AI-generated deepfake videos and fake images. This study is based on trend analysis and aims to analyze the effects of AI and its misuse by political actors to defame their opponents, suppress the opposition and critics, generate hate against their political opponents and build a narrative in their favour. This study underscores the need for research and analysis in AI, particularly in understanding the misuse of AI-generated deepfake videos and images for political gains, focusing on some cases in the US, Israel and India. Keywords:AI, Deepfake, Fake images, Politics, Misuse, Political gain, Opponents.
