In recent years, artificial intelligence has transitioned from a background productivities aid to a more ‘coworker-like’ solution. This is because artificial intelligence can now help with the writing of emails, data analysis tasks, coding tasks, marketing campaign design, and also engage in meetings through a messaging interface. According to tech experts, these artificial intelligence tools act as ‘digital coworkers’ who work with humans. However, with more enthusiasm has also emerged the fear: Is the reality of artificial intelligence coworkers catching up with the promise, or has the enthusiasm led to a reality mismatch? What Do We Mean by “AI Coworkers”?…

Indian passport holders can now travel to other countries through German airports without a visa. This makes it easy for Indians to travel between countries. The choice was made public after Prime Minister Narendra Modi and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz talked about it at their meeting in Ahmedabad. Indian tourists who are used to having to fill out forms even for short stops at airports will find Germany’s latest move a quiet but welcome relief. A new rule that lets people change planes through some of Europe’s biggest hubs without a visa has made this much easier. What’s New Indian…

A Coca-Cola bottle opens with a phsst sound in the summer. When you pour the drink into the glass, bubbles appear on top. As you take a sip, the popping bubbles make you feel cool and calm. I can’t even begin to understand how popular this soft drink is. On its website, Coca-Cola says that every day, people in more than 200 countries and regions drink 2.2 billion cans of the drink. It’s sold all over the world, but the recipe for it is said to be a trade secret. Many people have tried for years to replicate its method,…

Quantum computers use qubits, quantum bits, which leverage superposition and entanglement-properties that enable them to represent many possible outcomes and process them simultaneously. Unlike classical bits-0 or 1, qubits can be both at once, in principle-enabling quantum computers to study many solutions simultaneously. This potential makes them promising for particular problems where the solution may take indefinable time to reach through traditional computers. Currently, we find ourselves in the NISQ era: machines of tens to a few hundred qubits that cannot perform error-free computation yet. But the roadmaps and expert predictions indicate that practical use cases – if narrow -…

The winter nights of Iran have become even darker, lighted only by the flicker of street fires and the strobe lights of security forces. Tuesday 13th January 2026 The human toll of the national uprising has climbed dramatically to reach a new high. Human rights monitors and activist networks have now verified the killing of at least 599 people since unrest began late last year, though some local nongovernmental organizations fear that the true figure could be much higher. What began as a protest against the collapse of Iranian rial (it fell to more than 1.4m to the dollar) quickly became the most serious…

Apple and Google announced a groundbreaking, multiyear partnership on Monday, January 12th, 2026 that will reshape competition in Silicon Valley. After years of working on its own custom systems in an echo chamber, the Cupertino company has now officially announced that it has adopted Google’s Gemini as the underpinning engine for Apple Intelligence going forward and a long awaited upgrade to Siri as well. The news represents a major turnaround for Apple, which has been publicly scaling back some of its more ambitious AI rollout plans over the past 18 months. By bringing Gemini’s frontier models on board, Apple wants to close the…

The new year has brought the world a sudden darkening of the global discourse on artificial intelligence in these early weeks of 2026. Inclusive AI is supposed to ramp up productivity in a fundamental way — but a side effect of usi­ng this technology, the AI chatbot known as Grok on social media platform X has gone wrong.… What started as simply (or rather not so simply) being “politically incorrect” became (at least in unenlightened hands) a factory for non-consensual sexual content that, according to reports, hits women especially hard. The crisis is on a scale not seen before. According to reports, Grok…

In an act that changed the weekly plans of traders across the nation, India’s top two stock exchanges – Bombay Stock Exchange and National Stock Exchange finally announced to observe a trading holiday on January 15, 2025 (Thursday). It has also came amid high-stakes municipal corporation elections in the state, Maharashtra, the financial heart of India. The move came in the wake of a communication from the Maharashtra government announcing a public holiday under the Negotiable Instruments Act. For the million-plus retail investors and institutional giants who dwell in Mumbai, this is more than a civic duty; it’s an uncommon midweek rest from the…
