The Indian defence establishment is increasingly focusing on artificial intelligence, cyber warfare, and emerging technologies as components of future military capability
Artificial intelligence doesn’t create in a vacuum. Rather, it depends on human work to analyze data, discovering patterns and finding anomalies. That work is essential for AI’s machine learning. Therefore, categorizing such work as “fair use” misses the point. As artificial intelligence rapidly advances, a fundamental question is emerging: What happens to creators’ rights — […]
Nvidia founder and CEO Jensen Huang is set to touch down in Seoul on Friday afternoon, kicking off a four-day trip focused on deepening ties with South Korea’s tech, manufacturing and AI industries. The highly anticipated visit will be Huang’s longest stay here in recent years and comes as Nvidia seeks to expand its partnership beyond semiconductors into emerging areas such as robotics, physical AI and AI infrastructure. Huang last visited Korea seven months ago for the APEC summit, where he mad

As AI systems grow larger, photonics is emerging as a faster, more efficient alternative to copper connections.
When Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang makes his second visit to South Korea in just seven months this week, it won’t be only to meet top memory chip and robotics executives, but to throw the first pitch at a baseball game and appear on a TV talk show. While a celebrity in his own right, the charm push by the Taiwan-born 63-year-old highlights South Korea’s critical position in the AI landscape. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix between them make about 70 per cent of the memory needed for AI chips like Nvidia’s. And the country’s strength in manufacturing and robotics sets it up to be a key player in physical AI, where AI is embedded in robots, cars and factories. “Nvidia’s dependence on South Korean suppliers is rising,” Jeff Kim, an analyst at Seoul-based KB Securities, wrote in a research note. Huang “needs a manufacturing site for physical AI”, Kim said. “South Korea is emerging as a perfect testbed.” Asia’s fourth-largest economy is also a major Nvidia customer, with the Silicon Valley-based company announcing in October that it would supply more than 260,000 of its most advanced AI chips to the government and some of the country’s biggest businesses. Analysts and investors say South Korea’s importance has been magnified after trade frictions spoiled sales of the most advanced semiconductors to China. “South Korean companies are running high-end factories, which need a lot of these kinds of chips,” said Seung-yub Lee, a fund manager at Seoul-based Quad Investment Management. President Lee Jae Myung has vowed to make AI investment a top policy priority, aiming to turn South Korea into one of the world’s top three AI powers amid a broader push to counter the economic impact of a shrinking population. “Korea is a critical part of our ecosystem,” Huang told reporters at a dinner with South Korean tech executives on Monday in Taipei, the first day of the annual, industry-defining Computex trade show. He highlighted robotics when asked where Nvidia could invest, because “Korea is a manufacturing country, and Korea has a population limit”. “We have a lot to do together,” he said. Huang’s plans clearly include courting the country’s 50 million-strong population. He will appear on one of South Korea’s most popular talk shows, “You Quiz on the Block”, which its production company, CJ ENM, likens to the Jimmy Fallon Show in the US. And he will don a Doosan Bears jersey to throw the first pitch at Sunday’s home game against the Kiwoom Heroes, with Doosan Group Chairman Park Jeong-won acting as the ceremonial first batter. Arms of chaebol Doosan develop robots and make materials used in Nvidia’s Blackwell chips. Park Ju-gun, head of corporate analysis firm Leaders Index, said Huang learned a lesson from his visit in October, when a meeting over chicken and beer with the chiefs of Samsung Electronics and Hyundai Motor at a Kkanbu Chicken outlet generated a big media buzz. Huang was coy when asked by Reuters which South Korean executives he would meet this time, but food will again be a feature. According to local media, he may have a Korean barbecue dinner in Seoul’s trendy Sungsu area with executives from SK Group, Hyundai Motor and LG Group. Reuters has reported likely meetings with LG Group Chairman Koo Kwang-mo and executives at South Korea’s top online platform, Naver.

Opera makers have always engaged with the latest inventions while also preserving historic crafts. I believe it’s possible to look both forwards and backwards in this fast-evolving landscape The disquiet and distrust surrounding artificial intelligence among artists and creatives remain real and consequential, and the language used by leading arts commentators is often apocalyptic: AI will decimate the arts, it is evil, it is the devil. Like many emerging technologies, AI has been driven by the corporations at the forefront of its creation. Introduced to the public at a rapid rate and continuously evolving, machine learning has become closely entwined with fear, antipathy and foreboding. At the same time, its powers and possibilities are expanding exponentially, becoming embedded in almost every aspect of human activity. The upcoming RBO/SHIFT festival at the Royal Opera House aims to interrogate all sides of this fast-evolving landscape to enable artists, performers, creatives and audiences to think deeply and widely about where we are now, and where we may be tomorrow. Machine learning represents a seismic shift, both in society and in the arts, and we need storytellers, artists, teachers and thinkers in this space to help determine the direction of that shift and help us navigate this unfamiliar territory.

Children born after 2013 are the first generation to grow up fully immersed in digital systems, which weren’t designed with them in mind. One‑third of the world’s Internet users are younger than 18, according to UNICEF, yet these systems shaping their daily lives were built for adults. They were optimized for engagement and designed long before people understood how profoundly digital environments influence children. For engineers and technical professionals, online safety is not an abstract policy debate. It is a design challenge that demands rigor, systems thinking, and ethical foresight. Governments around the world are also beginning to recognize the problem. Policymakers from across Australia, Brazil, the European Union, Indonesia, and the United States are responding to risks engineers have long understood: Addictive features, inappropriate content, opaque data practices, and algorithmic systems shape user behavior in ways that their creators did not fully predict. For years, technology moved faster than governance. Now governance is trying to catch up. Global Shift Toward Design Reform Supporting National Digital Ambitions In Athens this year I met with senior leaders of Greek government agencies and key national research institutions. Greece is moving quickly on digital transformation and responsible technology governance, and our discussions reinforced IEEE’s role as a trusted, neutral collaborator. We focused on supporting Greece’s ambitions in digital modernization and public‑sector innovation. We also discussed responsible AI and age-appropriate digital design in Europe and elsewhere. These engagements, grounded in shared values and long‑term commitment, strengthened IEEE’s presence within the European ecosystem and opened new pathways for collaboration on trustworthy AI and child‑focused digital well‑being. The European Union and the United Kingdom have been among the first to act, embedding age‑appropriate digital design into their broader children’s rights agenda. Drawing on IEEE expertise and global best practices, Indonesia is the first country in Asia, and Brazil is the first country in Latin America, to adopt age-appropriate design regulation. Australia is aiming to limit access to harmful content and addictive design features through age restrictions on certain platforms. And in the United States, in addition to federal efforts, states including California, New York, and Utah are enacting approaches including age-appropriate design principles. Across these efforts, a shared realization is emerging. Protecting children online is not simply about filtering content or adding parental controls. It requires rethinking the architecture of digital systems regarding how data is collected, how algorithms make decisions, how interfaces influence attention, and how AI interacts with the developing minds of young users. Engineers and technical professionals understand that design choices are never neutral. They encode values, incentives, and assumptions. When the user is a child, those choices carry greater weight. This is where IEEE’s work becomes more essential. Protecting Children Online For more than a decade, IEEE has been building technical and ethical foundations for safer digital experiences. The first IEEE standard on age-appropriate design in 2021 marked a turning point. It offers a structured, principled approach to designing with children’s rights in mind. The Institute’s 2022 article “Use a New IEEE Standard to Design a Safer Digital World for Kids” highlights how the standard helps translate those principles into engineering practice. Today the IEEE Standards Association’s (SA) Trustworthy Digital Experiences portfolio provides a practical, technically grounded framework for governments and industry. Spanning ethical design, data governance, algorithmic transparency, and child‑focused digital well‑being, it has already initiated discussions with government stakeholders around the world. This work helps bridge the gap between engineering realities and policy ambitions. No single country can solve these challenges alone. Many policymakers lack access to the combined expertise in technology, governance, and children’s rights needed to act quickly and effectively. This collaborative effort helps close that gap. The stakes are high. Without coordinated action, public policy will continue to lag behind technology, leaving children exposed to risks that could have been mitigated through thoughtful design. But with the right frameworks, governments can ensure digital systems respect children’s rights, support healthy development, and promote well‑being. IEEE’s emerging standards and collaborative technology policy work offer a path forward. By grounding national efforts in evidence‑based, rights-aligned design principles, IEEE is helping governments move from reactive regulation to proactive, coherent, and globally informed strategies for protecting children online. Safeguarding childhood in the digital age is both a moral imperative and an engineering challenge. And IEEE is helping to lead the way. —Mary Ellen Randall IEEE president and CEO Please share your thoughts with me: president@ieee.org. This article appears in the June 2026 print issue.

The company is set to launch a mobile app for “businesses sourcing materials such as onyx and cotton from Central and South Asia, with real-time pricing, shipment tracking, digitised contracts and live chats”, Forbes notes. In 2024, Saraaf also secured a $5.3 million investment commitment from Shark Tank Pakistan. Founders of Plouton AI Sarfraz Shahid Hussain (L) and Muhammad Furqan Karim Kidwai (R). — photo courtesy Forbes Muhammad Furqan Karim Kidwai and Sarfraz Shahid Hussain secured a spot in the ‘finance and venture capital’ category for having co-founded Singapore-based Plouton AI. The venture was described as an “agentic automation platform that helps midmarket companies automate finance workflows”. It “uses auditable browser-based agents to run finance workflows, such as invoicing, payroll processing and month-end reconciliation, within existing tools like Xero, QuickBooks and Excel”, saving companies from buying costly software. According to Forbes, Kidwai “saw how finance teams in many emerging markets still rely on spreadsheets and emails”, prompting him to launch a fintech company. The two Habib University graduates had previously also co-founded fintech startup YPay Financial Services, which offered an app for people to invest digitally in mutual funds. Maheera Ghani Maheera Ghani, a PhD graduate from Cambridge University. — photo courtesy Forbes Maheera Ghani graduated from Cambridge University in 2025 with a PhD in materials science and is currently doing postdoctoral research at Cambridge on ultra-thin semiconductors. Forbes highlighted that the WinSci Pakistan education project, led by Ghani, won the Nature Inspiring Women in Science award from the Estée Lauder Companies and Springer Nature for “her efforts to encourage women to pursue careers in science”. Commenting on her featuring on the Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list, Ghani said: “Researching next-generation semiconductors at Cambridge University, innovating deep-tech technologies and working at the intersection of science, innovation, and leading impact has been an amazing journey filled with immense joy. “I am overwhelmed with gratitude and pride to represent my country on such a prestigious platform and this recognition means so much to me personally,” the scientist added. Fahad Shahbaz Fahad Shahbaz, who founded the Youth General Assembly in 2015. — photo courtesy Forbes Fahad Shahbaz founded the Youth General Assembly in 2015, when just 18 years old, to “create a pathway for young Pakistanis into leadership and policymaking”, Forbes wrote. The Youth General Assembly runs an annual 96-member assembly based on the UK parliament and mirroring the National Assembly, providing a platform for young participants to “debate public policy and produce recommendations”. Forbes mentioned Shahbaz was a 2023 recipient of the Diana Award and a member of the Pakistan Chapter of the World Economic Forum’s Global Shapers Community. He graduated with a Master of Laws degree from the University of Law in London. Reacting to his inclusion, Shahbaz wrote on X, “This recognition is not mine alone. It belongs to the people who believed in me, supported me and stood beside me throughout this journey.” He added that the “social impact category is built on service, responsibility and the belief that meaningful change begins with people”. “Pakistan’s greatest chapter is still being written and it is being written by its youth,” Shahbaz remarked. It should be mentioned that actress Hania Aamir and filmmaker Saman Kamraan landed spots on the prestigious Forbes 30 Under 30 Asia list in the entertainment category.
