Nothing CEO Carl Pei on AI-Powered Personalized Smartphone OS

Share


While Artificial Intelligence (AI) is often highlighted as a consumer tech buzzword, most current devices still rely on manual prompts, says Nothing CEO Carl Pei. Speaking at the World Government Summit 2026, Pei outlined his vision for the future of smartphone operating systems, emphasizing personalization. “In the future, everybody will have their own personalised operating system, because we’re all different,” he said.

Nothing’s approach is not to build a single OS for billions of users, but to create a one-to-one operating system tailored to individual needs. Pei explained that people have different goals and personalities, requiring a more personalized way to interact with smartphones.

Currently, Nothing’s AI-powered tool, “Essential Apps,” still requires users to manually issue natural language prompts. The next phase, however, aims for the system to learn user patterns, automatically suggest and position tools on the phone, and eventually predict and execute tasks without user input. “We don’t have to ask anymore, because once we’re certain about what people want on their phones, it just automatically place it,” Pei added.

Pei also highlighted how AI is accelerating internal development through “vibe coding.” He shared, “I’ve been doing a lot of vibe coding since January… and I think the models improved significantly in December last year. Now it’s actually helping me in product development.” By leveraging enhanced AI models, Pei has prototyped features that had been on the company’s back burner for years, pushing Nothing’s innovation forward.

Vishal Sikka on AI: Enhancing Work, Not Replacing Humans

Share


The rapid adoption of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in recent years has generated concern across industries, particularly in software and IT. Vishal Sikka, former Infosys CEO and founder of AI startup Vianai Systems, notes that AI disruption in software is not sudden but has been evolving for years.

Speaking on X (formerly Twitter), Sikka said, “I have been in these two industries for 28+ years, and in AI since I was a student — so ‘sudden’ makes me smile.” He highlighted that the real focus should not be on the speed of adoption but on how unevenly AI is reshaping work. Referring to Melanie Mitchell’s description of AI as a “jagged frontier,” he pointed out that AI accelerates routine, well-defined tasks but struggles with contextual reasoning that requires human judgment.

Sikka also observed that AI tools are reducing the need for deep technical knowledge, as less-experienced employees can now handle many routine or technical tasks. Meanwhile, tasks requiring human insight and judgment remain unchanged. He explained, “This helps them do in real-time what they did before in slow, costly, complex ways, but go far beyond that and do things that simply couldn’t be done before. And in the process, save massively in the clean up of legacy.”

As AI continues to transform industries, Sikka emphasizes that the goal should be to integrate the technology to refine workflows rather than replace human thinking or creativity. AI should enhance problem-solving, insight, and innovation, serving as a tool to augment human potential, not supplant it.

New Zealand Minimum Wage Hike Impacts Migrant Worker Visas

Share


A modest increase in New Zealand’s minimum wage is set to have broader implications beyond payroll adjustments. From April 1, 2026, the adult minimum wage will rise to $23.95 per hour, up from $23.50, while starting-out and training wages will increase to $19.16 per hour, maintaining the 80 percent link to the adult rate.

For employers relying on migrant labour, the change carries added significance. Beyond higher wage bills, it directly affects visa eligibility and compliance, particularly for roles paid at or near the minimum wage.

Any work visa application lodged on or after April 1, 2026 that includes a job offer must meet or exceed the new minimum wage. This requirement applies across visa categories, including the Accredited Employer Work Visa (AEWV). Employers with migrant workers currently earning minimum wage will need to ensure pay adjustments are made by April 1, 2026, employment agreements reflect the revised rates, and any new or pending visa applications meet the updated threshold. Applications that fall short of the required pay at the time of lodgement risk being declined, even if the role and employer otherwise meet eligibility criteria.

While the increase itself may seem small, the compliance impact can be significant. Immigration New Zealand assesses visa applications based on the pay rate in effect when the application is submitted, not when the job offer was originally made. For employers with multiple migrant workers, especially in lower-paid roles, the change may affect the timing of AEWV applications or renewals, workforce and salary budgeting, and job design where wages sit close to the minimum threshold.

Businesses planning recruitment or visa renewals around March 2026 should act proactively. Employers can mitigate risks by reviewing which migrant workers are paid at or near the minimum wage, confirming whether upcoming visa applications will fall after April 1, and updating employment agreements as needed.

This approach will help ensure compliance, avoid delays in visa processing, and smoothly manage workforce transitions following the minimum wage increase.

Qatar Introduces 10-Year Residency for Entrepreneurs and Executives

Share


Qatar is expanding its long-term residency framework as part of a strategic push to attract global talent, entrepreneurs, and investors. The country will introduce a 10-year residency programme for entrepreneurs and senior executives, announced by Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, as Doha seeks to bolster business growth and accelerate economic diversification.

This initiative places Qatar alongside regional peers such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, both of which have recently introduced long-term residency options to attract skilled professionals, entrepreneurs, and investment capital.

In addition to the residency plan, Al Thani revealed that the Qatar Investment Authority will increase its venture capital programme by $2 billion, enhancing the country’s startup ecosystem. This expansion builds on Qatar’s existing “Fund of Funds” initiative, currently valued at $1 billion, which was designed to attract venture capital firms, support entrepreneurship, and reduce reliance on gas revenues.

The new 10-year residency programme complements Qatar’s existing long-term visa options, including the Golden Visa programme, officially called the Qatar Residency by Investment scheme. Launched in September 2020, this scheme allows foreign nationals to secure long-term residency through real estate investment and has become one of the Gulf’s most competitive investor visa options.

Applicants under the investment route can choose between a temporary residence permit, requiring a minimum real estate investment of $200,000 (QAR 728,000), or a permanent residence permit, requiring a minimum investment of $1 million (QAR 3.65 million) in government-approved areas for foreign ownership.

To qualify, applicants must be at least 21 years old, hold a valid passport, be in good health, maintain a clean criminal record, and provide proof of the qualifying investment. Permanent residency applicants also need to obtain a Qatari ID, pay a state fee of $824, and demonstrate proficiency in Arabic. Qatar enforces an annual quota for permanent residency, requiring applicants to wait a year if the cap is reached.

Required documentation includes proof of investment, passport copies, police clearance certificates, medical reports, fee receipts, and evidence of sufficient financial means. The application process typically takes four to six weeks, subject to government verification.

Golden Visa holders are permitted to live and work in Qatar without a local sponsor, own property in approved zones, establish businesses independently, sponsor family members, and access healthcare and education services. The visa also allows unrestricted entry and exit during its validity, providing flexibility and security for long-term residents.

Elon Musk Sparks Debate: Money Can’t Buy Happiness

Share


Elon Musk, widely recognized as the world’s richest person, has sparked online conversation after sharing his thoughts on the long-standing idea that wealth does not guarantee happiness. In a recent social media post, the tech entrepreneur suggested that those who first coined the phrase truly understood its deeper meaning. The brief statement quickly gained traction, prompting both reflective and humorous responses from users.

“Whoever said ‘money can’t buy happiness’ really knew what they were talking about,” Musk wrote, ending the post with a sad-face emoji. Despite its simplicity, the remark ignited discussions across platforms, with many weighing in on the complex relationship between wealth and emotional well-being.

Reactions ranged from agreement to irony and playful curiosity. Some users joked that Musk should share his fortune so others could test his theory firsthand. Others reflected on the paradox of wealth, noting that while money can provide necessities like food and shelter, it cannot guarantee fulfillment, restful sleep, or emotional contentment. Several pointed out that financial struggles often bring stress, with bills and obligations creating constant pressure.

Humorous takes also emerged, with one commenter asking Musk to send them a million dollars to better grasp his perspective. Another quipped that philosophical wisdom is easier to embrace when basic living expenses are already taken care of. Some users turned serious, suggesting that redistributing wealth from billionaires to vulnerable populations could enhance collective happiness and improve lives through humanitarian support.

Musk’s financial status further underscores the irony of his post. With an estimated net worth of around $841.1 billion, he is the first person to surpass the $800 billion mark. This leap in wealth followed SpaceX’s acquisition of his artificial intelligence venture, xAI. Before the deal, Musk reportedly held 42% of SpaceX and 49% of xAI; post-merger, he now owns roughly 43% of the combined entity, consolidating his position at the top of global wealth rankings.

Musk’s remark has reignited the debate about whether immense financial success can truly bring happiness—a question that continues to spark discussion worldwide.

UAE Schools Announce Revised Ramadan 2026 Schedule

Share


As Ramadan is expected to begin on February 19, 2026, education authorities in the United Arab Emirates have announced a revised academic schedule to help students balance their studies with participation in the holy month. The Ministry of Education (MoE) and the Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) have introduced a plan that reduces classroom hours while giving families more time for religious observances.

During the first week of Ramadan (February 19–22), schools will operate on reduced hours, with classes limited to a maximum of five hours per day. This schedule will continue into the second week (February 23–27), when many schools are also likely to conduct end-of-Term 2 examinations. In the third week (March 2–6), institutions may maintain shorter days, with some offering remote learning on Fridays. Lessons will primarily focus on core subjects, ensuring that the spiritual atmosphere of Ramadan is respected. The fourth week (March 9–13) marks the final week of classes before spring break, allowing schools to wrap up academic activities. Spring break will run from March 16 to March 27, coinciding with the latter part of Ramadan, followed by school closures from March 30 to April 1 for the Eid Al Fitr public holidays.

Most schools will begin between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM, with classes concluding by early afternoon, typically 1:00 PM or 2:00 PM, so that daily learning does not exceed five hours. Fridays will follow an even shorter schedule, with students dismissed by 11:30 AM to allow adequate time for the weekly congregational prayer. Parents are advised to confirm the exact timetable with their child’s school, as start and end times may vary. Examination schedules will continue as planned, so students should prepare their study routines accordingly. Cafeteria services may also be limited during fasting hours, and children not observing the fast may need to carry their own meals.

Officials have emphasized that the adjustments are intended to promote student well-being, strengthen family connections, and respect the significance of Ramadan, while ensuring that educational standards are maintained. By reducing full school days, offering flexible learning arrangements, and aligning holidays with the season, the UAE aims to help students and educators navigate the month with ease. The updated timetable is expected to provide a smoother routine for families while keeping learning on track during this meaningful period.

గ్లామర్ షోతో మాత్రమే ప్రేక్షకులను ఆకట్టుకునే హీరోయిన్స్‌కు ఒక దశ దాటిన తర్వాత అవకాశాలు వస్తాయన్న గ్యారెంటీ ఉండదు. కానీ తమ అభినయంతో హృదయాలను గెలిచే కథానాయికలకు మాత్రం ఎప్పటికీ డిమాండ్ ఉంటుంది. కొందరు భామలు మొదట్లో గ్లామర్ విషయంలో మొహమాటపడినా, అవకాశాలు తగ్గినప్పుడు తప్పనిసరిగా స్కిన్ షో చేయాల్సిందేనని భావిస్తారు. అయితే మరికొందరు హీరోయిన్స్ మాత్రం అవకాశాలు లేకపోయినా సరే, గ్లామర్ షో చేయమని స్పష్టంగా నిర్ణయించుకుంటారు. అలాంటి వారు తమ ప్రతిభతోనే ప్రేక్షకులను ఆకట్టుకుంటూ కెరీర్‌ను ముందుకు తీసుకెళ్తారు. అలాంటి అరుదైన కథానాయికల జాబితాలో సాయి పల్లవి ముందు వరుసలో ఉంటుంది.

మలయాళంలో ప్రేమమ్ సినిమాతో భారీ పాపులారిటీ తెచ్చుకున్న సాయి పల్లవి, ఫిదాతో తెలుగు ప్రేక్షకులకు మరింత దగ్గరైంది. అప్పటి నుంచి సాయి పల్లవి సినిమా అంటే చాలు—ఆడియన్స్‌లో స్పెషల్ ఎగ్జైట్‌మెంట్ కనిపిస్తుంది. ప్రతి సినిమాతో కొత్త తరహా పాత్రలను ఎంచుకుంటూ, తనపై ఉన్న అంచనాలను మరింత పెంచుకుంటూ వచ్చింది. కథల ఎంపికలో ఆమె చూపించే స్పష్టతే ఈ స్థాయి క్రేజ్‌కు ప్రధాన కారణం. సినిమాలు ఎన్ని చేశామన్నదికంటే, ఎంతమంది ప్రేక్షకుల హృదయాలకు చేరుకున్నామన్నదే తన లక్ష్యమని సాయి పల్లవి కెరీర్ చెబుతుంది.

సౌత్‌లో ఆమెకు ఉన్న అపారమైన క్రేజ్‌ను గమనించిన బాలీవుడ్ మేకర్స్ కూడా ఆమెకు వరుస అవకాశాలు ఇస్తున్నారు. తెలుగులో తండేల్ తర్వాత సాయి పల్లవి ఇంకా కొత్త సినిమాకు సైన్ చేయలేదు. ప్రస్తుతం హిందీలో రామాయణతో పాటు ఏక్ దిన్ వంటి ప్రాజెక్ట్స్‌తో బిజీగా ఉంది.

ఇదిలా ఉండగా, లేటెస్ట్ బజ్ ప్రకారం రెబల్ స్టార్ ప్రభాస్ నటిస్తున్న కల్కి 2898 AD సీక్వెల్‌లో కూడా సాయి పల్లవి కీలక పాత్రకు ఎంపికైనట్టు సమాచారం. కల్కి పార్ట్ 1లో దీపికా పదుకొణే చేసిన సుమతి పాత్రకు ఆమె స్థానంలో సాయి పల్లవిని తీసుకుంటున్నారని టాక్ వినిపిస్తోంది. ఒకవైపు రామాయణంలో సీతమ్మగా సాయి పల్లవి పెర్ఫార్మెన్స్ కోసం అభిమానులు ఆసక్తిగా ఎదురుచూస్తుండగా, మరోవైపు కల్కి 2 లాంటి క్రేజీ ప్రాజెక్ట్‌లో ఆమె ఎంట్రీ మరింత ఉత్సాహాన్ని పెంచుతోంది.

ఏ పాత్ర అయినా, ఎలాంటి సవాళ్లు ఎదురైనా వాటిని అధిగమిస్తూ ముందుకు సాగడం మహేష్‌కు వెన్నతో పెట్టిన విద్య. అందుకే పరిశ్రమలో సూపర్ స్టార్‌గా ఎదిగారు. నటనలో ఓనమాలు తండ్రి నుంచే నేర్చుకున్నప్పటికీ, ఆ లెగసీని మరింత ఎత్తుకు తీసుకెళ్లిన తనయుడిగా నిలిచారు.

Eesha Rebba Files Complaint, Spotlight on Rising Online Harassment

Share


Telugu actor Eesha Rebba, last seen in Om Shanti Shanti Shantihi, has taken a strong stand against online harassment following a disturbing social media incident. The actor recently approached the Banjara Hills Police Station and filed a formal complaint, alleging that an individual running a meme or social media account posted a sexually explicit, obscene, and defamatory comment about her on a public platform.

Reacting to the incident, filmmaker Hemanth Madhukar strongly condemned the abuse and called for strict action against online harassment. “Actresses are increasingly being forced to fight against online abuse. The language being used is disturbing, derogatory, and clearly amounts to mental harassment,” he said. “Such content not only attacks a woman’s dignity but also causes severe emotional distress and public humiliation.”

Hemanth Madhukar emphasized that Eesha Rebba’s case is not an isolated incident. He pointed out that earlier, actress Anasuya Bharadwaj had filed a complaint against 42 individuals, including film producers, journalists, television channels, and social media influencers. Anasuya accused them of online abuse, criminal intimidation, defamation, and circulating morphed and AI-generated sexually explicit content. She had revealed that her images and videos were manipulated using artificial intelligence and circulated across platforms such as YouTube, Instagram, and X without her consent.

“This misuse of artificial intelligence has only added to the woes of actresses and must be dealt with strictly, without any leniency,” Hemanth asserted. He also recalled actress Anupama Parameswaran’s complaint, where she disclosed that she and her family were targeted in a malicious online campaign. “An Instagram account circulated false and extremely inappropriate content about her, even tagging her friends and co-actors. Some people on social media are clearly crossing all limits, attempting to destroy the hard-earned reputation of actresses,” he added.

The growing toxicity on social media has also prompted some stars to distance themselves from online platforms. Actress Anushka Shetty had earlier announced a brief hiatus from social media, explaining her decision as a step toward mental well-being. “Trading blue light for candlelight… stepping away from social media for a bit to reconnect with the world beyond scrolling,” she wrote in a note that resonated with many.

Summing up the issue, Hemanth Madhukar stated, “Actors are finding it increasingly difficult to cope with constant negativity and relentless trolling. Social media, which once felt empowering, is slowly turning toxic and harmful, forcing many artists to step away for the sake of their mental health.”

Ram Charan’s Peddi Locks April 30 Release, Hype Soars

Share


Ram Charan is fully immersed in the making of his next film Peddi, directed by Buchi Babu Sana. Beyond undergoing a striking physical transformation, the actor is reportedly pushing boundaries to add depth and authenticity to his role in the sports drama. Although the project faced delays due to unforeseen circumstances, the makers have now put all speculation to rest by officially announcing the release date.

Peddi is set for a grand worldwide theatrical release on April 30, perfectly timed to capitalize on the long summer holiday season. The newly unveiled poster showcases Ram Charan in a fierce and intense avatar, featuring a thick beard, rugged long hair, and a distinctive nose ring—instantly grabbing attention.

According to sources, Ram Charan has around 30 days of shooting left to wrap up the film. He is also expected to feature in a special song alongside a Bollywood diva, once a leading heroine is finalized. Director Buchi Babu Sana personally announced the release date, bringing much-needed clarity to the project’s timeline.

With the date now locked, the team has sufficient time to complete the remaining shoot and amplify promotional activities. The first glimpse of Peddi received a tremendous response, while the first single, Chikiri Chikiri, composed by AR Rahman, has already crossed 200 million-plus views, setting impressive digital benchmarks.

The makers are keen to sustain this momentum with regular updates in the coming weeks. Ram Charan, meanwhile, is determined to make a powerful comeback and deliver a blockbuster, especially after his previous outing Game Changer failed to live up to box-office expectations.

Nagarjuna–Amala: A Timeless Love Story of Balance and Grace

Share


Among India’s celebrity couples, Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni continue to be celebrated as a true benchmark for a lasting and harmonious marriage. Their love story began with a moment of spontaneous clarity. During a trip to the United States in 1991, Nagarjuna surprised Amala with a heartfelt marriage proposal that would change both their lives forever.

Choosing intimacy over extravagance, the couple tied the knot in a quiet ceremony in 1992. What followed has been decades of companionship rooted in mutual respect, understanding, and unwavering support. Over the years, their relationship has stood strong, earning admiration from fans and peers alike.

Amala has often spoken about Nagarjuna with deep affection, once saying, “He is the most balanced person I know. He is my best friend and the wind beneath my wings.” Her words reflect the emotional bond that has sustained their marriage through the years.

Nagarjuna, in turn, has never shied away from expressing his admiration for Amala’s grace, strength, and dedication to animal welfare. “Amala is the calming influence in my life. She keeps me centered and reminds me of what truly matters,” the Kuberaa and Bangarraju star once shared, perfectly capturing the essence of their enduring partnership.

Varun Tej and Lavanya Tripathi share a relationship that many admire for its depth and quiet strength. Their journey began as a simple friendship on the sets of Mister in 2016. Over the next seven years, the duo chose to keep their bond away from the public eye, allowing their relationship to grow organically, far from constant media attention.

In 2023, they sealed their long-standing companionship with a dreamy wedding ceremony in Tuscany, marking a beautiful new chapter in their lives. Varun has often spoken fondly about Lavanya’s profound influence on him, describing her as his emotional anchor. “She is my anchor. In a world that is constantly moving, Lavanya is my sense of calm,” the Fidaa and Tholi Prema actor once shared.

Lavanya, fondly remembered for her roles in Andala Rakshasi and Bhale Bhale Magadivoy, has echoed similar sentiments. She has described Varun as her best friend above all else, highlighting the consistency of his character. “What I love most about him is his heart. He is the same person I met years ago—just wiser,” she remarked, capturing the essence of their enduring bond.
