Enhancing Collaboration in Advanced Technology: A Conversation with Elon Musk on AI and Innovation.

-
Elon Musk is an innovator and entrepreneur whose focus is the development of cutting edge technology and particularly Application Intelligence (AI). Today's discussion revolved around understanding the dynamics of change in artificial intelligence with ways of improving teamwork in that field. Musk is also known for coming up with some mega ideas and even more mega strategies so it was not surprising that the call for global cooperation in use of AI was made to avoid disorganized competition of nations and industries that would ultimately waste a lot of resources and fail to solve the key issues of the 21st century. That vision which is his echoes with the increasing understanding that in order to tap the capabilities of AI, proactive implementation of these capabilities is of collective, rather than individual, nature. A focal point of the discussion was the ethics of AI and its development. As Musk pointed out, AI is more than a device, it is a way of thinking that will change bu

Trump Mocks Iranian Failed Attacks On American Facilities in Iraq

-

Making a mockery of the recent attack on the US air base in Iraq, Iran seem to be playing on the outside of the fence and not serious into entering a war zone after all.

Iran launched 16 ballistic missiles, including 11 that landed at al-Asad air base and one in Irbil in Iraq. But not one casualty was reported.  The attack came from inside Iran itself.
Addressing the nation from the White House, Mr. Donald Trump felt he could make an assertion that Iran is ‘standing down’ after Washington eliminated one of their key military personnel, disrupting the order of things for Iran. Despite so many missiles fired, no casualty looks like a display of fire, with no smoke.

Iran was responding in grief over their General Qassem Soleimani’s assassination that has let off a sigh a relief amongst a lot of world leaders. Soleimani was termed as a notorious monster that had worked as a binding force to align proxy groups to work in favour of Iran, at will.

Trump is now threatening to slap more economic sanctions on Iran. However, there is no indication on any further military action. Trump is also saying that Washington’s strategic priorities have changed a lot making America less dependent on Middle Eastern oil. Trump is now pushing NATO nations to follow suit, in an attempt to isolate Iran’s chances of economic trade with anyone at all.

In Trump’s words, the whole world should side with him and withdraw from the 2015 nuclear deal with Iran. He has further said America is willing to make peace with whoever wants peace.

Iran has called the attack on the US facilities in Iraq as a ‘slap on the face’ and the worst is yet to come. Back home, the House speaker isnt happy with Trump’s overzealous outburst in the media. Nancy Pelosi has said that the House Rule Committee has had to establish parameters for a vote on the war powers resolution, which would limit Trump’s military actions against Iran. The idea is to tie Trump’s hand that might instigate Iran into a war like situation.

Enhancing Relationships: Sheikh Khaled’s Trip to India Signals a New Phase of UAE-India Relations.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties. Relationship between UAE and India are very historical in nature that started during the time when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was the founder of UAE, whereby his coming to India in 1975 established strong cultural and diplomatic ties. This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these

  This year's global climate summit begins in Dubai. Did you know that Dr. Sultan bin Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and President of COP28 , stressed the essential need for immediate climate action before to the summit? The shrinking time period and the global community's progress since the Paris Agreement's adoption in 2015 emphasize the urgency.  Let us first discuss the cop conference  and what I believe Cop28 will do.  First Cop summit  emphasizes that major strides have been made since COP21, guiding the earth away from the initially forecast 3°C global warming and toward around 2.5°C.  Second, according to the International Energy Agency's most recent projections, global carbon emissions will peak in this decade, intensifying the need for comprehensive climate policies. I believe in cOP28  It is fitting, then, that this year’s climate summit should happen in a place famous for sitting at the intersection of finance and innovative th
