Artificial Intelligence picked the winners of the 2026 World Cup winners before a ball was even kicked but how reliable are these predictions? Thanks to Artificial Intelligence, Paul can rest in peace. Remember the octopus who used to pick up World Cup match winners back in 2010? Well, we’ve gone from marine invertebrates to artificial intelligence now with all the LLMs picking various winners of the world’s most watched sporting spectacle. From OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini to Anthropic’s Claude and Opta’s supercomputer, all of them have predicted the winners of the 2026 event being held in USA, Mexico and…

A closer look at the technological marvel that is the official match ball of the ongoing FIFA World Cup… Every four years, at the FIFA World Cup, Adidas unveils a new football and in 2026, the latest edition is called the Trionda. But unlike the previous ones, this year’s version is a connected sports device with sensors, advanced materials, aerodynamic engineering and real-time data capabilities. Called Trionda, to mark the first time three countries are hosting the sporting spectacle, this ball represents one of the biggest technological upgrades ever seen in football. It actively communicates with the referees, providing live…

With the arrival of AI coding agents like GitHub Copilot and Claude Code, software engineers are seeing drastic changes to their everyday roles… Software engineers have always followed a predictable path. Graduate, find a junior level job where you write code, gain experience and eventually move to senior roles that involve code architecture or leadership positions. But with the arrival of AI coding tools, that path is changing drastically. From GitHub Copilot to Cursor to Claude Code, there are plenty of coding tools that are doubling up as AI assistants and not just at an experimental level. They have become…

Instead of building smarter AI models, Indian startups are focusing on smarter ways to use AI for businesses… The last few years have seen a global AI race where a handful of tech giants are trying to outdo each other by building the best AI foundational model. ChatGPT, Claude and a host of other LLMs are the result of this race. But instead of getting caught up in this race and spending millions to outdo these Silicon Valley giants, Indian tech startups are focusing on a completely different problem statement: using AI to solve real-world problems. From software development and…

Instead of trying to build the next ChatGPT, Indian tech startups are using AI to solve and automate industry-specific problems… For the last two years, all the tech giants have been locked in a race to build the next big foundational AI model like ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. But not Indian startups… They’ve been in a different race altogether. Instead of focussing on a general-purpose AI model, Indian tech startups are set on vertical AI – these are specialised AI systems that are designed for specific industries and business workflows. According to a 2025 report by startup accelerator Upekkha, this…

ChatGPT seemed to have taken the lead as the most popular AI chatbot but Claude Code’s enterprise adoption is redefining the rules of the AI race… “How to make aglio olio pasta?” “What medicine should I take if the side of my head is hurting?” “Give me a comprehensive plan to learn Kannada in 7 days” “Turn this research document into a 300-word article.” These are just some of the million prompts that are fed into ChatGPT on an everyday basis. The OpenAI product had established itself as the undisputed leader in the generative AI era, with hundreds of million…

As AI coding tools become mainstream, India’s software engineers are moving from writing code to supervising AI-generated work… Until not very long ago, software engineering was one of the safest and most reliable career paths in India. Coding has been one of the core skills that has helped India’s rise into a global technology hub. But with the rise of artificial intelligence, the software engineer’s role has changed drastically. There are now several AI coding assistants such as GitHub Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code and OpenAI Codex and these are reshaping how software is built. The engineer’s role has gone from…

As the demand for AI increases, India is transforming into a major hub for the infrastructure that powers artificial intelligence… For the longest time, when it came to the global technology industry, India has operated as the back office of the world: a huge talent pool and a software powerhouse. But the rise of artificial intelligence is changing that. As AI moves from apps and chatbots to giant computational systems, the focus is shifting towards the machinery behind AI – like data centres, cloud infrastructure, power systems and large-scale computing capacity. And all of a sudden, India has become the…

The Maharashtra government has announced an AI policy that is a clear message that India’s AI future could be driven by state governments… India’s AI ambitions are not limited to New Delhi anymore. State governments are slowly stepping into the race. The plan is to attract startups, research labs, enterprise investments and talent. And in a bid to secure that, the Maharashtra government has announced an AI policy that is a clear message that India’s AI future could be driven by state governments as much as it is a part of national strategy. The new policy – announced by Chief…

The Indian government is making tech companies more accountable by introducing laws to remove harmful content within hours… For the last two decades, global tech companies have had it easy. Social media platforms host content, users create content and governments intervened only when it was absolutely required. But that era is changing – and it looks like it’s India who is heralding that change. Earlier this year, the Government of India has announced stricter IT rules that requires social media companies to remove ‘unlawful content’ within three hours of official notice. This is done from the previous window of 36…
