New Delhi: The Indian Air Force’s Tejas light combat jets are set to return to the skies next week, two months after the entire fleet was grounded following an accident involving one of the aircraft at a frontline airbase. D K Sunil, the Chairman and Managing Director of Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL), the manufacturer of…
Welcome to April 2026—a moment many in the tech world are beginning to describe as the inflection point where artificial intelligence sheds its hype and faces hard reality. The era of dazzling demos and oversized promises is giving way to what experts are calling the “Year of Truth.” The shift is unmistakable: from building ever-larger…
The artificial intelligence story in March 2026 is no longer about clever chatbots stringing together sentences. That phase is over. What we are witnessing now is a decisive shift—AI that doesn’t just respond, but acts. From autonomous execution to multimodal intelligence, AI has quietly stepped into a far more consequential role. Whether you’re tracking industry…
Our Tech Desk Even as geopolitical tensions simmer in West Asia, global internet infrastructure remains resilient, with experts and stakeholders closely monitoring the security of critical undersea cable networks that power the world’s digital economy. Recent discussions on social media have highlighted concerns over the vulnerability of fibre optic cables running beneath the Red Sea…
In the mid-2020s, the digital world is undergoing a decisive transformation. The internet is shifting from an Attention Economy—built to capture eyeballs—to an Intent Economy—designed to deliver outcomes. For over two decades, online platforms thrived by keeping users hooked. Every click, scroll, and pause was monetised through advertising. But that model is now being disrupted….
Artificial Intelligence is no longer a futuristic idea discussed only in research labs. Today, it quietly powers the technologies people use every day—from voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection systems and autonomous vehicles. At the heart of this transformation lies Machine Learning (ML), the technology that enables computers to learn from data and…
In the near future, AI will not merely “write things for you”—it will function as a multimodal collaborator, capable of understanding context, emotion, and intent across text, video, and audio simultaneously. As of 2026, we are witnessing a shift from AI as a simple chatbot to Agentic AI—systems that not only generate drafts but can…
In 1960, long before laptops, cloud computing, or artificial intelligence entered public vocabulary, J. C. R. Licklider wrote a visionary paper titled Man–Computer Symbiosis. He did not predict machines replacing humans. Instead, he imagined something far more sophisticated: a tight coupling between human cognition and computational power. Licklider compared this relationship to the fig tree…
Artificial Intelligence has evolved far beyond basic automation and rule-based systems. What once focused primarily on data processing and predictive analytics has now entered a far more dynamic phase—creation. At the heart of this transformation lies Generative AI, an advanced branch of artificial intelligence capable of producing text, images, code, music, audio, video, and even…
For decades, we have treated Artificial Intelligence like a gathering storm—something to brace against, fear, or exploit. But as AI moves from our screens into our homes, our schools, and even our identities, the “Wild West” era of unchecked development must end. If technology is to be truly intelligent, it must first be human-centric. Here…
