At InnoTrans 2026, digitalisation has been framed as a major theme, with suppliers using the event to demonstrate how connected systems, data and software are changing railway infrastructure and rolling stock. Across the exhibition, manufacturers are applying digital technologies to areas ranging from signalling and train detection to predictive maintenance, fleet management and passenger information….
By Leonora Smart-Abbey* SUVA, Fiji | 23 September 2026 (IDN) — Digital identity, digital payments and data exchange have become powerful reference points for thinking about what digital public infrastructure (DPI) can enable. They have supported financial inclusion, improved access to services, enabled new forms of digital participation and demonstrated how common digital foundations can…
AI is rewriting the way software is built. For decades, software development followed a predictable sequence of requirements, design, build, test, deploy. This model was designed for a world where coding and testing was expensive, and feedback came late. With AI, code can be generated in seconds, testing is continuous and feedback is real time….
Despite decades of research, helping students use feedback effectively remains one of the most persistent challenges in writing instruction. Teachers devote extensive time to commenting on student work, yet the benefits often fall short because students struggle to interpret and act on those comments. The arrival of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) has intensified this challenge…
Views on news Financial fraud has expanded into a high-volume global activity. According to Vyntra’s 2026 report, nearly two-thirds of scams succeed within a day of first contact, leaving little opportunity for intervention once engagement begins. Generative AI appears central to this acceleration, reducing the time required to assemble convincing phishing campaigns from more than 16…
Referral traffic has shifted over the last 12 months and media executives can’t afford to ignore the implications. AI Overviews intercept a growing share of user queries, resulting in zero-click outcomes. Publishers expect traffic from search engines to decline more than 40% over the next three years, according to the Reuters Institute’s 2026 trends and…
New Delhi: As artificial intelligence starts answering user queries before they click through to a website, marketers, publishers and platforms are being forced to rethink one of digital media’s oldest assumptions that visibility in search will naturally lead to traffic. At a discussion on “Zero-Click Strategy: Winning in the Age of Invisible Search”, industry leaders…
Despite decades of progress in pharmaceutical R&D, the earliest phase of drug discovery—where molecules are conceived and designed—remains costly, inefficient, and burdened by high failure rates. Most experimental compounds never reach clinical development, and those that do often take over a decade and billions of dollars to bring to market. These bottlenecks are rooted in…
More recently, the government put forth the draft amendments to the IT Rules 2021, introducing regulations for Synthetically Generated Information (SGI), one of the more consequential and relevant …
