🚨 Thinking Machines, Mira Murati's company, has recently launched a preview of its new interaction model. From an AI governance perspective, this new human-AI interaction paradigm poses new risks that anyone working with AI systems will need to take seriously. My full article:

عندما تجتمع العقول لإعادة رسم المستقبل، تتحول الريادة من فكرة إلى واقع، ومن طموح إلى أثر ملموس يصنع الفارق، ومن هذا المنطلق، تأتي خلوة الذكاء الاصطناعي المساعد Agentic AI كامتداد لنهج الخلوات الراسخ في فكر حكومة الإمارات، لتؤكد أن آلية صنع القرار لدينا تعمل دوماً على تطوير أدواتها من أجل تحويل الأفكار إلى سياسات قابلة للتنفيذ بسرعة ودقة مطلقة.. هذه الخلوات تأتي لتترجم فكر قيادتنا الرشيدة، باعتبارها مختبرات حية للعصف الذهني وتوليد الأفكار الاستباقية التي تتجاوز الأطر التقليدية، وصولاً إلى تحويل الرؤية إلى خطط تنفيذية جريئة.... الخلوة شهدت طرح أفكار لا تستشرف الغد بل تصنعه، صاغتها رؤى قيادات وطنية ملهمة تملك من الحكمة ما يكفي لتقرأ التحولات العالمية، ومن الجرأة ما يؤهلها لقيادتها.. أفكار تجسد القوة الحقيقية لعقول وطنية تحررت من نمطية الحاضر لتصنع جسور العبور نحو المستقبل، مؤكدة أن مستهدف الإمارات بأن تكون الحكومة الأولى عالمياً في تبني تقنيات الـ Agentic AI بنسبة 50% هو عقيدة ريادية تترجم فكر قيادة لا ترضى بغير الصدارة مكاناً. #الإمارات #الذكاء_الاصطناعي #الذكاء_الاصطناعي_المساعد #حكومة_المستقبل

Dato: Google está armando un combo todo incluido con sus planes de IA. Si pagas AI Pro, en los próximos días se te suman YouTube Premium Lite, Google Health Premium y Home Premium al mismo precio que ya pagabas. Casi 30 dólares al mes extra dentro del mismo plan. Si vas con AI Ultra, te incluyen YouTube Premium completo, Health Premium y Home Premium Advanced.

#حكومة_الإمارات تعلن عن شراكة معرفية استراتيجية مع "جامعة محمد بن زايد للذكاء الاصطناعي" ضمن البرنامج الوطني لتطوير مهارات 80 ألف موظف بمجال الذكاء الاصطناعي المساعد Agentic AI

The aim of Intelligence is knowledge generation so we can solve more complex problems. This is incredible.

I approved an additional package of economic incentives worth AED 1.5 billion, bringing the total support introduced over the past two months to AED 2.5 billion. The new package includes 33 initiatives offering facilitation measures ranging from three to 12 months across key sectors including tourism, trade, education, and customs services, further strengthening Dubai’s economic resilience and global competitiveness. Guided by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai has built a model that transforms challenges into opportunities for growth. We remain committed to strong public-private partnerships and maintaining close engagement with the community and business sector, taking every decision needed to support society, strengthen economic resilience, and reinforce Dubai’s position as a global economic hub.

It's official: the old search is dead

Thus far it includes ~30 examples that range from the individual to institutional, from the artistic to the political. It also showcases 8 examples of "Possible Futures," projects already dreaming up and building alternatives to Silicon Valley's extractive, corrosive vision of AI development.

I reviewed the efforts of Dubai Customs to ensure supply chain continuity and facilitate trade flows through key initiatives, including the Green Corridor launched in cooperation with the Sultanate of Oman. I also reviewed the operational and customs facilitations provided to support the business community, along with Dubai Customs future plans. With its deep expertise and highly efficient teams, Dubai continues to strengthen its position as a leading global hub for trade and commerce. We remain committed to supporting the trade sector and business community, as trade remains at the heart of Dubai’s identity.

ما نطوره اليوم في دولة الإمارات بمجال الذكاء الاصطناعي ليس مشروعاً حكومياً تقليدياً… بل نموذج عالمي جديد لحكومات المستقبل. نعمل على توظيف التقنية لخدمة الإنسان ورفع جودة حياته، ونؤسس بكفاءاتنا الوطنية لريادة إماراتية تقود التحول العالمي في الذكاء الاصطناعي.

On the one-year anniversary of EMPIRE OF AI, I am so, so excited to announce The AI Resist List, a new project that documents examples of resistance to the AI empires around the world. airesistlist.org

Historic UAE leap in Artificial Intelligence! The UAE launches its first batch of AI Agents to power: • Tax auditing • Customer services • Government procurement • Technical support Target: 50% of government services running on Agentic AI within just two years! HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid: “We are building a model that will inspire the world” 👏 The UAE is leading the future 💪

Data center energy demand will double by 2030 & 🇦🇪🇺🇸 are already building the energy infrastructure to meet that moment. As Dr. @SultanAlJaber tells @AtlanticCouncil, reliable, scalable power is the foundation of AI leadership and a cornerstone of the #UAEUSA partnership.

🇦🇪 @ADNOCGroup MD @SultanAlJaber on the energy demands of the AI revolution: “Nowhere is this accelerating faster than in the US,” he tells @CroftHelima. The AI race is now “an energy infrastructure, capital, and competitiveness conversation,” he adds.

ÚLTIMA HORA Una empresa biotecnológica de Texas acaba de sacar 26 pollitos vivos de huevos artificiales impresos en 3D sin cáscaras y sin gallinas. Primera vez en la historia que un embrión completo de ave se desarrolló en un sistema totalmente artificial. Y eso es solo el principio. Colossal Biosciences está usando esta misma tecnología para traer de vuelta al moa gigante de la Isla Sur: un ave de 12 pies de altura y 250 kg que se extinguió hace 600 años. No existe un sustituto en la Tierra lo suficientemente grande para incubar uno. Así que construyeron la tecnología para hacerlo sin uno. La extinción acaba de pasar de la ciencia ficción a un proyecto de construcción. Fuente: @WallStreetApes

Visa and Mastercard will finally face some competition. Europe is building its own payment system that will launch in late 2026, when about 130 million people in 13 countries will be able to use it. It integrates the Wero app with national services like Bizum in Spain, Bancomat in Italy, MB Way in Portugal, and Vipps and MobilePay in the Nordic countries. The system transfers money instantly from one bank account to another using Europe’s fast payment network, so people can keep using their usual apps while a central link simplifies cross-border payments. It starts with person-to-person payments in late 2026 and adds online and in-store payments in 2027. They want to cut costs and keep money and data inside Europe, and rely less on foreign card companies like Visa and Mastercard. This will not replace Visa or Mastercard completely, as those cards will remain useful for travel and some shops, but it is a good alternative for Europeans to the usual payment processors.

Over the past few months, we've been holding dialogues with scholars, philosophers, clergy, and ethicists on the questions AI raises—starting with how good character forms. Read more about how we’re widening the conversation on frontier AI: anthropic.com/news/widening-…

Hoy una industria entera dejó de tener sentido. Meta soltó SAM3 abierto en GitHub. Le dices "el jugador de blanco" y lo sigue solo en un caos NBA, dibujando la jugada táctica encima. El scouting manual pasó a ser un hobby.

Dario Amodei (Anthropic) advierte: -los modelos de IA están a punto de llegar a inteligencia humana y la sociedad sigue dormida ante los riesgos -un “tsunami” con implicaciones económicas, laborales y existenciales La pregunta es ¿el riesgo es real o se esta sobrestimando?
