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

'Treat me like an engineer': Twitter CEO Parag Agrawal tells Elon Musk

Elon Musk

Twitter CEO, Parag Agrawal, and Tesla CEO, Elon Musk, bonded on over-engineering and solving technical design problems, according to a text exchange shared between the two tech leaders.

During their conversation, Tesla's CEO said that he doesn't want to be the boss of anyone. Subsequently, Agrawal replied that the Tesla CEO should treat him like an engineer and not like the CEO of Twitter.

As per a TechCrunch report, the conversation between the two tech leaders dates back to April this year. Musk reportedly told Agrawal, "I hate doing mgmt stuff. I don't think I should be the boss of anyone. However, I love helping solve technical/product design problems.” To this, Agrawal replied, "Treat me like an engineer instead of a CEO of Twitter.”

The leaked chats have gone viral on social media at a time when Twitter and Musk are all set to start their legal battle in the Delaware Court of Chancery in the United States (US) on October 17.

Earlier this year, Musk made a hostile bid to take over Twitter at $54.20 per share. Later on, the world’s richest man backed away from the deal and blamed Twitter for breaching the agreement by misrepresenting the number of spam accounts on the micro-blogging site.  According to Twitter, Musk reportedly backed away from the deal because the stocks of Twitter tumbled, and the value had fallen below $54.20 per share.

Elon Musk’s legal team has repeatedly told the Delaware Chancery Court that Musk wanted correct details about fake accounts on Twitter. On the other hand, Twitter said that Musk’s scepticism over spam accounts tally was a distraction to walk away from the deal.

The trial in October will decide whether Musk can be forced to complete his deal at an agreed $44 billion price.

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.

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
