Iran fast-tracking trials

Iran’s leadership frames the current wave of protests not merely as demonstrations, but as a direct challenge to the authority and stability of the Islamic Republic. Officials including the judiciary have publicly described many detainees as “rioters,” “terrorists,” or even “enemies of God” under Iranian law, which carries the death penalty. This characterization is significant because charges like moharebeh (“waging war against God”) and corruption on Earth are among the most severe in Iran’s penal code and can justify expedited procedures and capital punishment.
Fast-tracking trials and executions, from the regime’s perspective, is intended to crush dissent quickly and signal to the population that any large-scale challenge to state power will be met with overwhelming force.
Iran’s top judicial officials have explicitly stated that delays in prosecuting protesters would diminish the “impact” of judicial action. The head of the judiciary, Gholamhossein Mohseni-Ejei, emphasized that addressing cases promptly is essential in his view for justice to serve its purpose and deter further unrest. That official discourse is used internally to justify accelerated case handling and harsh sentencing.
The current protests are among the largest and most sustained anti-government demonstrations in Iran in decades, sparked by deep economic grievances and evolving into broader demands for political change. Security forces have killed large numbers of civilians in clashes with demonstrators, and tens of thousands of people have been arrested. The scale of unrest combined with efforts by the government to maintain control underpins the judiciary’s push to conclude cases rapidly and impose severe penalties, including death sentences, to create a chilling effect.
Iran’s leadership is operating under intense international scrutiny and pressure, including warnings from the United States and concerns from human rights bodies. Rather than softening its stance, the judiciary’s signaling of fast trials and executions appears partly intended to display resolve domestically and to international audiences that it will not bow to external demands. Officials often justify this approach by accusing foreign powers of inciting or supporting unrest.
Human rights organizations have long documented that Iran’s use of fast-track or “summary” trials in politically charged cases often comes at the expense of basic legal protections. Reports from earlier protest waves show that defendants have been denied meaningful access to lawyers, subjected to forced confessions, and convicted after proceedings that fall far short of international fair-trial standards. This historical pattern intensifies global concern about the current situation.
In legal and symbolic terms, swift judgments and executions serve multiple functions:
Deterrence: Harsh and quick punishments are intended to deter others from participating in protests.
Reassertion of Authority: It shows the regime is unwilling to tolerate challenges to its rule.
Internal Messaging: Within governmental, judicial, and security structures, such measures reinforce discipline and loyalty.
Taken together, these elements demonstrate that fast-tracking trials and executions for detained protesters is part of a broader strategy by Iran’s leadership to maintain control and intimidate opposition amid one of the most volatile periods in its modern history.

Scaling Laws: A Key Aspect of AI Scaling laws identify a pattern found in current AI models: when you are scaling model size, the size of the training data, and computational capacity, there is smooth convergence.

Scaling laws identify a pattern found in current AI models:
when you are scaling model size, the size of the training data, and computational capacity, there is smooth convergence. It is this principle that has driven most of the biggest successes in language, vision, and multi-modal AI.
Large-scale models have the following advantages:
Its appeal has been that it is simple to understand: “The more data you have and the more computing power you bring to the table, the better your results will be.” Organizations that had access to enormous infrastructure have been able to extend the frontiers of the potential for AI rather quickly.
To better understand what
So, training very large-scale language models requires a huge amount of financial investment. Large-scale language models can only be trained with vastly expensive hardware.
Such large models are large energy consumers when trained and deployed. There are, thereby, environmental concerns being raised.
When models become bigger, the benefits per additional computation become smaller, with every new gain costing even more than before.
Most realistic domains, such as mobile, hospital, government, or edge computing, may not be able to support large models based on latency, cost, or privacy constraints.
These challenges have encouraged a new vision of what is to come.
Efficiency innovation aims at doing more with less. Rather than leaning on size, this innovation seeks ways to enhance how models are trained, designed, and deployed for maximum performance with minimal resources.
Key strategies are:
The aim is not only smaller models, but rather more functional, accessible, and deployable AI.
The value of AI is not created in research settings but by systems that are used in healthcare, government services, businesses, and consumer products. These types of settings call for reliability, efficiency, explainability, and cost optimization.
Efficiency enables start-ups, the government, and smaller entities to develop very efficient AI because they would not require scaled infrastructure.
Smaller models that are better understood can also be more auditable, explainable, and governable—a consideration that is becoming increasingly important with the rise of AI regulations internationally.
Such applications as smart sensors, autonomous systems, and mobile assistants demand the use of ai models, which should be loowar on power and connectivity.
The truth is, however, that neither scaling nor optimizing is going to be what the future of AI looks like: instead, it will be a combination of both.
Big models will play an equally important part as:
This is also reflected in other technologies because big, centralized solutions are usually combined with locally optimized ones.
The next wave in the development process involves:
Rather than focusing on how big, progress will be measured by usefulness, reliability, and impact.
Scaling laws enabled the current state of the art in AI, demonstrating the power of larger models to reveal the potential of intelligence. Innovation through efficiency will determine what the future holds, ensuring that this intelligence is meaningful, accessible, and sustainable. The future of AI models will be the integration of the best of both worlds: the ability of scaling to discover what is possible, and the ability of efficiency to make it impactful in the world.

Conventional training of models is essentially the development and optimization of an AI system by exposing it to data and optimizing its internal parameters accordingly. Here, the team of developers gathers data from various sources and labels it and then employs algorithms that reduce an error by iterating numerous times.
While training, the system will learn about the patterns from the data over a period of time. For instance, an email spam filter system will learn to categorize those emails by training thousands to millions of emails. If the system is performing poorly, engineers would require retraining the system using better data and/or algorithms.
This process usually involves:
After it is trained, it acts in a way that cannot be changed much until it is retrained again.
“Prompt Engineering” is basically designing and fine-tuning these input instructions or prompts to provide to a pre-trained model of AI technology, and specifically large language models to this point in our discussion, so as to produce better and more meaningful results from these models. The technique of prompt engineering operates at a purely interaction level and does not necessarily adjust weights.
In general, the prompt may contain instructions, context, examples, constraints, and/or formatting aids. As an example, the difference between the question “summarize this text” and “summarize this text in simple language for a nonspecialist” influences the response to the question asked.
Prompt engineering is based on:
It doesn’t change the model itself, but the way we communicate with the model will be different.
Key Points of Contrast between Prompt Engineering and Conventional Training
“Traditional training involves modifying the parameters of the model to optimize performance. Prompt engineering involves no modification of the model—only how to better utilize what knowledge already exists within it.”
Model training involves extensive data, human labeling, and costly infrastructure. Contrast this with prompt design, which can be performed at low cost with minimal data and does not require training data.
Model training and retraining can take several days or weeks. Prompt engineering enables instant changes to the behavioral pattern through changes to the prompt and thus is highly adaptable and amenable to rapid experimentation.
“Traditional training involves special knowledge of statistics, optimization, and machine learning paradigms. Prompt engineering stresses the need for knowledge of the field, clarifying messages, and structuring instructions in a logical manner.”
Training the model allows one to have a high, long-term degree of control over the performance of particular tasks. It allows one to have a high, surface-level degree of control over the performance of multiple tasks.
The emergence of large general-purpose models has changed the dynamics for the application of AI in organizations. Instead of training models for different tasks, a team can utilize a single highly advanced model using the prompt method. The trend has greatly eased the adoption process and accelerated the pace of innovation,
Additionally, “prompt engineering enables scaling through customization,” and various prompts may be used to customize outputs for “marketing, healthcare writing, educational content, customer service, or policy analysis,” through “the same model.”
Despite its power, there are some boundaries of prompt engineering. For example, neither prompt engineering nor any other method can teach the AI new information, remove deeply set biases, or function correctly all the time. Specialized or governed applications still need traditional or fine-tuning approaches.
At a very conceptual level, training a traditional model involves creating intelligence, whereas prompt engineering involves guiding this intelligence. Training modifies what a model knows, whereas prompt engineering modifies how a certain body of knowledge can be utilized. In this way, both of these aspects combine to constitute methodologies that create contrasting trajectories in AI development.

On a higher level, multimodal AI systems function on three integrated levels:
First, every type of input, whether it is text, image, audio, or video, is passed through a unique encoder:
These are the types of encoders that take unprocessed data and turn it into mathematical representations that the model can process.
After encoding, the information from the various modalities is then projected or mapped to a common representation space. The model is able to connect concepts across representations.
For instance:
Such a shared space is essential to the model, as it allows the model to make connections between the meaning of different data types rather than simply handling them as separate inputs.
The last stage of the process is cross-modal reasoning on the part of the model; hence, it uses multiple inputs to come up with outputs or decisions. It may involve:
Instead, state-of-the-art multi-modal models utilize sophisticated attention mechanisms that highlight the relevant areas of the inputs during the process of reasoning.
“The real world is multimodal.” This is because health and medical informatics, travel, and even human communication are all multimodal. This makes it easier for AI to handle information in such a way that it is processed in a way that human beings also do.
A single data source may be restrictive or inaccurate. Multimodal models utilize multiple inputs, making it less ambiguous and accurate than relying on one data source. For example, analyzing images and text information together is more accurate than analyzing only images or text information while diagnosing.
Multimodal AIs allow more intuitive ways of communication, like talking while pointing at an object, as well as uploading an image file and then posing questions about it. As a result, AIs become more inclusive, user-friendly, and accessible, even to people who are not technologically savvy.
Multimodal models are creating a paradigm shift in the following:
Multimodal AI is only a stepping stone towards more complex models, such as autonomous agents, and decision-making systems in real time. Models which possess the ability to see, listen, read, and reason simultaneously are far closer to full-fledged intelligence as opposed to models based on single modalities.
Although they promise much, multimodal models of AI remain difficult to develop and resource-heavy. They demand extensive data and alignment of the modalities, and robust protection against problems of bias and trust. Nevertheless, work continues to increase efficiency and trustworthiness.
Multimodal AI models are a major milestone in the field of artificial intelligence. Through the incorporation of various forms of knowledge in a single concept, these models bring AI a step closer to human-style perception and cognition. While the relevance of these models mostly revolves around their effectiveness, they play a crucial part in making AI systems more relevant and real-world.

In 2025, the Prime Minister highlighted the resilience and changes in the economy of India. It was mentioned that despite global uncertainties, the Indian economy had been growing at a consistent rate. The fact that the economy had become more attractive to foreign investors with better digital public infrastructure and the ease of doing business was counted as one of the factors responsible for the resilience of the economy. It was stated that the fact that India was developing as a manufacturing nation because of production-linked incentives was an indication of the fact that the economy was transforming from a consumption-driven economy to a production and export nation.
One of the key themes of this messaging has been the technological change taking place in India. The Prime Minister spoke of the role of digital platforms in taking much of India’s governance, finance, healthcare, and education to a population of a billion scale. India’s ability and success in developing digital public goods in areas like identity solutions that can interoperate with each other, digital payment solutions, and data platforms were outlined as a developing country success story that could be replicated in other developing countries. He emphasized India’s success in emerging technologies like AI, space technology, semiconductors, and renewable energy and noted that this clearly showed that innovation in India has stepped beyond services and has spread to deep technologies and research-driven areas.
On the strategic horizon, the Prime Minister began to enumerate the increased stature and freedom in Indian external affairs. The Prime Minister referred to the fact that India has remained very active in world organizations, that it has been a “bridge between the advanced and the developing economies in the world, and a vocal voice for the Global South.” The Prime Minister went on to highlight the transformation in Indian defense modernization and indigenization, the rise in the Indian Navy’s “presence in the Indian Ocean and beyond” because “a country which can assure the world that it can safeguard its own interests but also contribute to regional and international stability” is coming into its own. The Prime Minister has referred to strategic partnerships with major world powers as “not alignments but partnerships and cooperation founded on mutual respect and mutual interest.”
But aside from the hard indicators, he also stressed the soft power influence that India has had and continues to exercise to this day. Yoga, traditional knowledge, humanitarian charity, and leadership on climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts were presented as the expression of the values of the Indian civilizational tradition that the soft power project embodies and upholds. He laid emphasis on the fact that the rise of India is not an assertive, dominance-oriented one but is centered on sustainable development and climate change mitigation efforts.
Overall, the tone and message of Prime Minister Modi in 2025 were that of a confident and self-reliant country that was making its presence felt in all spheres of economies, technologies, and international platforms for decision-making. Of course, to make India’s achievements significant globally, he linked India’s progress with that of the international world.

What Are AI Video Generators?
AI video generators are software and platforms utilizing machine learning and generative AI models to produce videos by themselves frequently from a basic text prompt, script, or simple storyboard.
Rather than requiring cameras, editing tools, and a production crew, users enter a description of a scene or message (“a short ad for a fitness brand” or “a tutorial explaining blockchain”), and the AI does the rest generating professional-looking imagery, voiceovers, and animations.
Some prominent instances include:
Why So Popular All of a Sudden?
1. Democratization of Video Production
Years ago, creating a great video required costly cameras, editors, lighting, and post-production equipment. AI video creators break those limits today. One person can produce what would formerly require a whole team all through a web browser.
2. Blowing Up Video Content Demand
3. AI Breakthroughs with Text-to-Video Models
4. Localization & Personalization
With AI, businesses are now able to make the same video in any language within seconds with the same face and lip-synchronized movement. This world-scale ability is priceless for training, marketing, and e-learning.
5. Connection with Marketing & CRM Tools
The majority of video AI tools used today communicate with HubSpot, Salesforce, Canva, and ChatGPT directly, enabling companies to incorporate video creation into everyday functioning bringing automation to sales, HR, and marketing.
The Human Touch: Creativity Maximized, Not Replaced
Consider this:
Real-World Impact
Challenges & Ethical Considerations
Of course, the expansion creates new questions:
Regulations like the EU AI Act and upcoming US content disclosure rules are expected to set clearer boundaries.
The Future of AI Video Generation
In the next 2–3 years, we’ll likely see:
Actually, AI video makers are totally thriving — not only in query volume, but in actual use and creative impact.
They’re rewriting the book on how to “make a video” and making it an art form that people can craft for themselves.
