Inside the UAE’s quiet AI revolution: How GPT‑5 is already reshaping the way we work In a tucked-away creative studio in Al Quoz, a marketing director swipes through her Chat GPT 5 interface on a second screen. Her team is preparing a campaign launch for a new F&B brand in Dubai Marina. She doesn’t bark orders or pace the floor. Instead, she’s collaborating with a digital mind that’s not just capable of writing copy, but understanding tone, mood, and regional nuance. The campaign will be delivered in both Arabic and English—on-brand, emotionally relevant, and deadline-ready. And it’s happening without a…

Dubai drivers are well acquainted with the ubiquitous toll system that governs access to the city’s busiest roads. Whether navigating rush-hour chaos or heading to the airport, Salik gates are an everyday encounter. However, few realise that precise timing can result in completely toll-free journeys, thanks to what are officially known as Salik free hours. But here’s the well-guarded secret — there are specific time windows when Salik charges do not apply. These are known as Salik-free hours. If you understand exactly when these toll-free windows occur, you can plan routes that avoid unnecessary charges entirely. That means savings for…

Picture this: you approach the Ferrari Amalfi at dusk. Light skims across Verde Costiera paint—its teal glow reminding you of seaside memories. It feels familiar yet entirely new. That’s the Amalfi for you: Ferrari’s bold reminder that a car can thrill your senses and fit into your life. Volume Whisperer: Sculpted Elegance in Motion Flavio Manzoni didn’t just design curves. He chiselled emotion. The Amalfi’s surfaces seem calm, almost meditative, yet hint at speed. Every reflection on the bonnet stirs anticipation. Ferrari’s signature front-mid stance remains, but here, it looks poised, not aggressive like a panther at rest. Heartbeat Boost: 640 CV…

According to a recent report from 9to5Mac, the tech giant is preparing to unveil AirTag 2. This will most likely occur during the highly anticipated iPhone 17 launch event.

It started with a song that wasn’t real. In 2023, “Heart on My Sleeve”—a convincingly synthetic duet between Drake and The Weeknd—took over streaming platforms. This happened before the industry could even catch its breath. No one knew who made it, where it originated, or how to stop it. But what it represented was clear: AI Is Hijacking Music, and AI-generated music had broken through. This left the music industry with no system in place to respond. Now, the response is forming. But rather than ban AI music outright, the industry is building something deeper. This includes a detection infrastructure…

Instead of just seeing content from friends and family, users will now encounter sponsored updates…

Step into any classroom, training seminar, or even a virtual team-building session, and you might hear the same word being shouted with unrestrained enthusiasm: “Kahoot!” But what exactly is Kahoot, and why has it become such a ubiquitous tool across education, business, and social spaces? Kahoot is a game-based learning platform that blends technology with traditional quizzing, creating an experience that is equal parts engaging and educational. Launched in 2013 by a Norwegian startup, Kahoot allows users to create, share, and play quizzes (called “kahoots”) in real-time using devices like phones, tablets, or laptops. The catch? It turns the dry…

Craig Federighi isn’t one to take a slow start. Apple WWDC 2025 kicked off with a cinematic intro straight out of a Brad Pitt F1 blockbuster—because it was.

But this was more than clever promotion—it set the pace for one of the most innovative and ambitious Apple keynotes in recent history.
