From
this video, extracts “ Audio profile “ of Justice
Misra’s speech , using :
Audio Converter
·
Pastes
this “ Audio Profile
“ into :
Lyrebird { https://lyrebird.ai/ } , to generate a “ Digital Voice “ of Justice
Misra
which sounds exactly like Justice Misra ! (
You too can try this for fun ! It is free )
·
Or
, for an even better sounding / much more realistic voice of Justice Misra, pastes
this at :
·
Now
he looks up :
This will help him replace the stage and
the persons sharing the dais with
Justice Misra ( from the above-linked video )
, with the background of the
other Judges sharing the Supreme Court
bench !
·
What
he now needs , is a “ judgement speech “ that he wants Justice Misra’s fake / re-mixed, video
to deliver in his realistic sounding “ digital voice “ , using indistinguishable facial
features / gestures / mannerism / expressions etc that would “ fool “ the most
tech-savvy
Here is a
speech drafted by me :
=================================
Dear Petitioners and
Opponents :
For
past few months, we have heard arguments from the learned advocates of , both
the petitioners and of the government , in respect of the legitimacy of linking
Aadhar ID to a large number of government schemes
We
have been told that such universal linkages will take away a citizen’s
fundamental “ Right to Privacy “ and lead to a “ Surveillance State “ having
draconian powers over the citizens
At
the same time, we have been keeping a close watch on the following developments
:
# With each passing day , millions of Indian
Citizens are getting access to
Internet
# These millions are daily downloading millions
of Mobile Apps ( including
Mobile wallets ) and providing personal
data to millions of E Commerce web
sites /
Search Engines /
Social Media web sites / Messaging applications /
Fintech services / Travel services etc ,
using GPS enabled Smart phones /
Glasses / Wrist Bands / Smart Watches /
Home Assistant Devices etc
# According to one study, people typically
touch their phones 2,617 times per
day
, leaving a particularly enticing trail of data to mine
# Facebook is even scanning user posts in the
US and some other countries for
signs of possible suicidal thoughts, without
giving users a choice of opting out
of the scans . Who has access to that information ?
# Mindstrong Health, a mental health start-up
has developed a research
platform to continuously monitor users’ phone
habits , looking at changes in
taps
and clicks for hints about mood and memory changes associated with
depression .
Thousands of AI start-ups are daily
launching hundreds of such
mobile-based
services which are offered FREE to anyone
# The data provided by Indian Citizens for
getting an Aadhar ID, is miniscule
in comparison with the personal /
private data that the Citizens are already
providing to these non-state agencies
# Most citizens , while accessing such
services are agreeing that the service
provider can use their personal data in any
way it deems fit and share it with
anyone else , without telling / informing the
user as to the actual usage or
its sharing
# The number of Internet-connected devices ( without
doubt , GPS
enabled ) are growing exponentially and
expected to reach 50 device per
person by 2020
# Each of these device will be embedded with
micro-sensors which will pick-up
all
the personal / private conversations of a user and transmit it to the
Central servers of , not only the device
manufacturers but also of the Internet
Service providers involved .
At this stage , we urge the Petitioners to
remember that many of tomorrows
Internet Service Providers , would be
beaming internet from Satellites and
balloons , located thousands of kilometres above
India and will not be subject
to
any Indian Regulatory Authority
For
collecting / transmitting the personal / private data of the users , these IoT
devices will carry an automatic “ Activation
Clause / Terms“ which will grant to
these
devices, unfettered rights ( by the user ) to do so , the moment it gets
switched on for the first time or the moment
the packaging box is opened !
# European Union is preparing legislation to
force companies to turn over
customers’ personal data when requested,
even if it is stored on servers
outside the bloc . The planned law would apply
to all companies around the
world
that do business in European Union
# Digital borders are a growing global issue
in an era where big companies
operate cloud networks of giant data centres
which means an individual’s data
can reside anywhere
#
Advances in Artificial Intelligence / Machine Learning / AR / VR /
Hepatic
Devices / Holograms etc are
progressing so rapidly that , as per
recent
scientific predictions, by 2022 Robots will
become commonplace in most
middle-income homes, able to
reliably read lips and recognize face, mouth
and hand gestures. All
toys will be “smart” with built-in
machine learning
# Scientists also seem to agree that content
in all of its form ( textual - audio –
video – sensory ) , generated by all human
beings on the earth will get
captured automatically / continuously and flow
seamlessly , across billions of
internet connected devices and will no more
remain confined to a few servers
All of this will happen involuntarily and an
individual will have neither any say
on
this nor will anyone be able to opt-out from this scenario. This flow of a
person’s private data will start from
birth
# Technology has advanced so far – and
continues to accelerate even faster –
that
it is possible
to treat “ Content ( personal / private
data ) “ like an air
molecule , which keeps travelling freely around the earth and
gets inhaled a
trillion times ( content consumption ) by a billion humans .
Introduction of 5G
and
Li-Fi technologies will speed up this
process even further
# With the arrival of Quantum Computing , it
will soon become possible for the
same
content ( personal / private data ) , to exist simultaneously at multiple
places
, but in differing formats
A “ Text Posting “
on Facebook may well appear on different media as
Voice or
Image or Smell or Touch !
In light of these
considerations, this court has reached following conclusions :
# For delivering of different kind of services
by the Government to the citizens , Aadhar
ID
is essential
# The data required to be submitted for
getting Aadhar ID is minimum and poses no
danger to the privacy of the citizens
# For obtaining services from private parties
, it is up to the citizen concerned to decide
if
he wants to furnish his Aadhar ID or not . In case of his unwillingness, he may
have to forgo such service
# It is up to the Legislative wing to examine
as to what extent it can protect the
private / personal data of a citizen from
getting “ mis-used “ by Private parties , and
whether enacting an appropriate DATA
PROTECTION LAW , can serve this purpose ,
in a
situation where the citizens are willingly parting with such data to
all-and-sundry
, and explicitly authorizing these Private
parties for unfettered / unlimited use of such
Data
While considering to enact such LAW ,
government should consider the enforceability
of such a law and whether it should be
government or the aggrieved citizen who need
to
lodge a complaint for a breach of the agreement entered into by the citizen and
the
private party and to which , the government is NOT a party , nor has any
knowledge of the terms and conditions of such
an agreement
# The court directs the government to ensure
that requirement of Aadhar is restricted
only to the essential services being
delivered by various government agencies and
not
extended to non-essential services in a frivolous manner
# The court further directs the government
that even in case of essential services , no
citizen is ever denied a service just
because he is unable to provide Aadhar ID
# The petition stands dismissed

FOR CONSIDERATION BY THE
READERS :
Parallel
to the Theory of Thermodynamics , I would like to propound the
following as far as the “ Theory of Information “ is concerned :
“
Like Entropy , content keeps growing with each and every human
interaction , either with other humans or with
his environment , and content
can
no longer remain hidden , nor can it be destroyed “
Now , I await some IT geek
to create a Video as described by me here ( clearly marked “ fake “
) , and send to me on……hcp@RecruitGuru.com
