Gulf States’ Digital Transformation: A New Era of Innovation and Security

It is a time of great geopolitical changes in the Gulf. It has been evident for some time that the dynamics between the major Middle Eastern players are indeed undergoing profound changes. Factors to consider in this evolving equation naturally include relations with Israel and the Palestinian cause, but they’re not limited to them. The rush to digitalization and AI, the development of new technological ecosystems, combined with the security concerns of the Gulf monarchies, are creating a certain divergence between the models and strategic objectives of state actors in the Arab region. Among them, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, and

Google Discover AI Headlines: Revolutionizing News Feed or Clickbait Nightmare?

Google is testing AI-generated headlines in its Discover feed, replacing original news headlines with original ones. Sean Hollister, editor-in-chief of The Verge, reported this , noting that short and often misleading AI-generated headlines had begun appearing in his smartphone feed instead of newspaper headlines. The experiment involved the Google Discover news feed on Samsung Galaxy and Google Pixel smartphones. Hollister noted that the system attempts to reduce the meaning of a post to a few words, but the results are often skewed. Posts about Baldur’s Gate 3 are receiving headlines accusing players of child exploitation, while articles about the Qi2 standard are

Secure AI Integration in OT Systems: Key Principles and Best Practices

Since ChatGPT’s public release in November 2022, artificial intelligence (AI) has been integrated into many aspects of human society. For owners and operators of critical infrastructure, AI can be used to increase efficiency and productivity, improve decision-making, reduce costs, and enhance customer experience. Despite its many benefits, integrating AI into operational technology (OT) environments that manage essential public services also introduces significant risks —such as OT process model drift over time or security process circumvention—that owners and operators must carefully manage to ensure the availability and reliability of critical infrastructure. The Australian Signals Directorate, through the Australian Cyber Security Centre, together with

OpenAI Faces Fierce Competition from Google’s Gemini 3

OpenAI, a company valued at around $500 billion, is facing increasingly fierce technical competition . Google’s latest version of Gemini 3 , in particular, outperforms OpenAI’s GPT-5 in several areas. “The world today is profoundly different from the situation two years ago, when OpenAI was ahead of everyone else,” Thomas Wolf, co-founder and chief scientific officer of the artificial intelligence platform Hugging Face, told the Financial Times . OpenAI CEO Sam Altman himself recently admitted in a leaked memo to staff that the company must prepare for a period of intense competition. Just a year ago, Google’s position seemed less favorable, but

Leonardo’s Michelangelo Dome: AI-Powered Defense Against Hypersonic Threats

Italian defense company Leonardo has unveiled its new Michelangelo Dome system . According to the company, it is designed to counter hypersonic missiles and mass drone attacks . During the technical presentation to the Italian Minister of Defense and Chiefs of Staff, CEO Roberto Cingolani announced plans to begin deployment as early as 2026 and reach full operational capability by 2028. The name says it all, and the resemblance to Israel’s famous Iron Dome is clearly intentional. The Israeli system, operational since 2011, served as a model. But Michelangelo Dome goes much further: it is not conceived as a single weapons system,

The Power of A* Algorithm in Artificial Intelligence and Robotics

Nearly everything artificial intelligence does today is based on a simple but fundamental idea: any problem can be reduced to finding a path from a starting point to a goal. The computer considers several states, evaluates which are closest to the result, and proceeds in sequence until it finds a solution. The most obvious comparison is navigation. When a person plots a route on the London Underground, say from Bond Street to King’s Cross, they mentally consider the options: the Central Line to Oxford Circus, a transfer to the Victoria Line, Warren Street, Euston, and finally the final destination. A computer does

DeepSeekMath-V2 Revolutionizes Math with AI-Powered Proof Verification

The Chinese company DeepSeek has introduced a new specialized model for solving mathematical problems , DeepSeekMath-V2. This large-scale language model, specifically designed for theorem proving and Olympiad problems, is unique in that it not only produces answers but also verifies the correctness of its own reasoning. DeepSeekMath-V2 essentially answers an age-old question in artificial intelligence: how to ensure that a model has arrived at the correct solution fairly, rather than guessing the outcome or finding a shortcut that is incorrect . Most modern models are trained to arrive at the correct final answer more frequently, for which they are rewarded with a

ChatGPT to Introduce Targeted Ads, Changing Monetization Strategy

Until now, ChatGPT has been ad-free: no banners, no hidden promotions. Even the paid versions worked without pushy offers. But that could change soon. As reported by user X (formerly of Twitter) under the pseudonym Tibor , references to a new advertising feature appeared in the beta version of the Android app ChatGPT (1.2025.329) . The code contained phrases such as “advertising feature”, “bazaar content”, as well as ” search ad” and “search ad carousel”. For now, it looks like ads will only appear in integrated searches, such as when artificial intelligence accesses the internet to answer a query. But over time,

11.7% of jobs could be replaced by artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence is currently capable of performing work equivalent to 11.7% of US employment . And not just in theory: in terms of monetary value, this value is already comparable to the salaries of human workers. An MIT study , developed as part of Project Iceberg , shows that, at the current level of technological development, it is possible to automate tasks worth approximately 1.2 trillion dollars, a market share in which artificial intelligence can already perform the same functions as humans, while costing less. Unlike previous estimates, which were based on assumptions about the “susceptibility of professions to automation,” the researchers

China surpasses US in open-source AI models

China surpasses the United States in the global market for open-source artificial intelligence (AI) models. According to a November 26 Financial Times report, a study by MIT and open-source AI startup Hugging Face found that the share of downloads of open-source AI models developed by Chinese teams rose to 17% over the past year, surpassing their American counterparts for the first time and gaining a key lead in the global application of AI technology. Amid the AI boom sweeping the global tech industry, US tech giants such as OpenAI, Google, and Anthropic tend to adopt a ” closed ” strategy, maintaining complete
