Pak strikes 10 Afghan sites after accusing it of attacks as tensions rise  
Pakistan said early Thursday that it had carried out airstrikes on 10 sites in Afghanistan that it said were used to launch drone attacks against Pakistan a day earlier, marking a sharp escalation between the neighbours that threatens mediation efforts by regional powers. The announcement by Information Minister Attaullah Tarar came on X after officials said Afghanistan's Taliban forces had fired eight drones and shelled Pakistani border posts after Pakistani troops foiled what they described as a cross-border infiltration attempt by militants. There was no immediate response from Kabul to the latest Pakistani strikes inside Afghanistan. Zabihullah Mujahid, a spokesperson for Afghanistan's Taliban government, denied Wednesday that Afghan Taliban forces had carried out any attacks. The conflicting statements came two days after Pakistani fighter jets struck sites in eastern Afghanistan that Islamabad said were militant hideouts. Pakistani officials said Wednesday that security force

US diplomats told to use term 'super intelligence' for AI after Trump call  
The State Department is ordering diplomats in its international organisations bureau to use the term "super intelligence" instead of "artificial intelligence" in all communications following President Donald Trump's attempt to rebrand the technology in his address to the UN General Assembly this week. "Following the president's remarks at the GA today, please change all references of Artificial Intelligence' to Super Intelligence' in our documents and positions. We will be using SI' in all remarks, positions and press elements moving forward," said an email sent Tuesday to employees by Michael Drager, deputy assistant secretary of state for the Bureau of International Organization Affairs. That bureau is in charge of US diplomatic missions to all UN and multilateral agencies around the world. The email, titled "Change in Nomenclature AI to SI," was obtained by The Associated Press on Wednesday. It was not immediately clear if other State Department bureaus had or would follow suit.

For humanity's sake, please control the AI we created: Tech leaders urge UN  
The heads of major artificial intelligence firms pleaded with the United Nations on Wednesday to save the world or at least its people - by somehow regulating the fast-expanding technology that they have been designing. "If managed poorly, I even believe AI could be a risk to humanity as a whole," said Dario Amodei, chief executive officer of Anthropic. And from his competitor Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, came the assessment: "We could lose control of the future to AI." Both said the countries of the world, through the UN Security Council, where they testified Wednesday, have to set safeguards of some kind to prevent the technology from getting too powerful to rein in. They also called for the world to make sure that the power of AI isn't concentrated in one company or country. They also touted the benefits of the technology for bettering humanity and what Altman called "giving people more power over their own lives." Those tech leaders "are telling us in stark terms that it cannot b

While Meta has the head start on AI glasses, competition is chomping at the bit with new entrants.

India is on track to hit 100GW wind energy target by 2030: Suzlon's Tanti  
India remains largely on track to achieve its 100 GW wind energy target by 2030, provided the country accelerates power grid expansion and maintains a steady pipeline of project auctions, Suzlon Group co-founder Girish Tanti said on Wednesday. The statement assumes significance in view of India's ambitious target of 500 GW of renewable energy (including 100 GW of wind) by 2030. Talking to PTI at WindEnergy 2026 in Hamburg, Tanti said the biggest dampener for renewable energy development in the country is grid readiness. He is of the view that the electricity transmission grid build-up (development) time is about five years, which is commensurate with traditional (thermal or hydro projects). It takes roughly five to six years to set up thermal or hydro power projects.Thus, in India, grid development takes place accordingly. The grid development or build-up time needs to be reduced to 12 to 18 months to match renewable energy capacity addition in the country. A solar or wind projec

Predictions that artificial intelligence could lead to catastrophic outcomes are overstated, and a global pause in AI development is unlikely, Zoho co-founder Sridhar Vembu said on Wednesday, while urging India to keep its strategic options open and invest heavily in foundational R&D across sectors. Vembu said India should pursue an independent approach to AI, building on partnerships without becoming locked into the emerging technology rivalry between the United States and China. "We must be friends with everybody, enemies with nobody and keep our options open," Vembu, Chief Scientist and Co-founder, Zoho, said in an interview with PTI. Vembu argued that any big tech company genuinely wanting to slow AI development is free to do so on its own; nothing stops one player from pacing itself without demanding the whole industry follow, he pointed out. Vembu was skeptical of calls by AI labs for an industry-wide pause, which, as per him, appeared to be less about safety and more a bid .
