How AI chats are changing everything?
For years, we've been interacting with machines through Siri, Alexa, or voice-guided GPS. But today's language-based AI models have taken things further. They respond contextually, adapt to tone and maintain coherent dialogues. As a result, everyday users are now engaging with AI not only for answers but for brainstorming, problem-solving and even emotional support.
People from all walks of life are turning to AI for learning, creativity and convenience. It's a patient tutor, a fast researcher and a nonjudgmental companion rolled into one. For learners hesitant to raise questions in class or at work, AI offers a safe space to ask, explore and repeat — without fear of sounding uninformed.
AI tools don't just deliver facts; they adapt explanations to suit different learning levels. This flexibility makes them valuable in both academic and professional settings. Educators are also integrating AI into classrooms — not to replace effort, but to personalise and deepen learning. Used responsibly, these tools can help students test comprehension, organise thoughts and improve writing.
In workplaces, AI is streamlining routine tasks across various sectors. By taking over repetitive chores, AI allows humans to focus on strategic, creative and empathetic roles — areas where human judgment still reigns supreme. As job roles evolve, so will the skills required to balance technological fluency with critical thinking.
Still, as AI becomes more embedded in our lives, it raises important questions around ethics, data privacy and the nature of human connection. Concerns about misinformation or over-reliance are valid — but with thoughtful design, transparency and awareness, these tools can be used responsibly. AI is not a replacement for real relationships or therapy, but it can extend support in places where resources are scarce or access is limited.
Talking to AI may feel novel now, but it mirrors how past innovations — from telephones to emails — were once met with skepticism. Today, they're indispensable. Conversational AI is poised to do the same: reshape how we think, create and connect.

Nearly 88% global firms now have dedicated AI budgets, says report
Nearly 88 per cent of global enterprises now have dedicated budgets for Artificial Intelligence (AI), with nearly two-thirds of them spending over 15 per cent of their overall tech budgets on AI projects, a new report said on Monday. This major investment push marks a clear shift from early experimentation with Generative AI to building intelligent, goal-oriented systems known as AI agents, according to data compiled by Nasscom. Titled 'Enterprise Experiments with AI Agents - 2025 Global Trends,' the report provides a comprehensive look at how companies across the globe are preparing for the next phase of AI adoption. Sangeeta Gupta, Senior Vice President and Chief Strategy Officer at Nasscom, said that enterprises are at a crucial turning point. 'AI agents represent the next evolution of enterprise AI - one that requires philosophical shifts in how we view work, intelligence, and autonomy,' she said. However, she also emphasised that scaling AI systems responsibly would require strong trust, data readiness, and continuous human oversight. Based on responses from over 100 companies across 8-9 global regions and more than 10 industries, the study shows how enterprises are moving beyond passive data analysis to more active AI systems that can perform tasks and make decisions with human oversight. The report shows that businesses are strengthening their AI foundation through investments in GenAI tools, data infrastructure, and flexible processes. Many companies have already formed specialised AI teams and are working with advanced platforms, upgrading their tech setups to support the deployment of AI agents. However, despite high awareness of Generative AI, only half of the surveyed companies are fine-tuning large language models (LLMs) or foundation models for their own needs. One of the biggest highlights of the report is the growing interest in Agentic AI - systems designed to act independently while still being monitored by humans. About 62 per cent of companies are experimenting with such AI agents, mainly for internal tasks such as IT operations, HR, and finance. External uses, like customer service, are still limited, with only 31 per cent of enterprises using Agentic AI in those areas. However, looking ahead, 88 per cent of companies plan to set aside budgets specifically for Agentic AI systems in 2025. The report also reveals that most companies are being cautious. Around 77 per cent are designing Agentic AI systems with a 'human-in-the-loop' model to ensure oversight and adaptability. Only 46 per cent are testing fully autonomous agents. Manufacturing companies appear to be ahead in adoption, using AI for robotics, quality control, and other operational areas. When it comes to benefits, companies believe AI agents can help in making faster decisions and responding better to market changes, the report said. AI TOOL TO DETECT CANCER: Meanwhile, in a significant achievement for identifying neuro-degenerative diseases early, a team of US researchers has developed a new artificial intelligence (AI) tool that helps clinicians detect brain activity patterns linked to nine types of dementia using a single and widely available scan. The tool, StateViewer, not only helped in early detection but also provided accurate diagnosis - it identified the dementia type in 88 per cent of cases, including Alzheimer's disease. It also enabled clinicians to interpret brain scans nearly twice as fast and with up to three times greater accuracy than standard workflows, according to the research, published online in the journal Neurology. Researchers from the Mayo Clinic trained and tested the AI on more than 3,600 scans, including images from patients with dementia and people without cognitive impairment. Currently, diagnosing dementia requires cognitive tests, blood draws, imaging, and clinical interviews, and yet, distinguishing conditions such as Alzheimer's, Lewy body dementia and frontotemporal dementia remains a challenge. 'Every patient who walks into my clinic carries a unique story shaped by the brain's complexity,' said David Jones, a Mayo Clinic neurologist. 'StateViewer reflects that commitment -- a step toward earlier understanding, more precise treatment, and, one day, changing the course of these diseases,' added Jones, director of the Mayo Clinic Neurology Artificial Intelligence Programme. The tool analyses a fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) scan, which shows how the brain uses glucose for energy. It then compares the scan to a large database of scans from people with confirmed dementia diagnoses and identifies patterns that match specific types, or combinations, of dementia. While Alzheimer's affects memory and processing regions, Lewy body dementia involves areas tied to attention and movement. Frontotemporal dementia alters regions responsible for language and behaviour. Indo-Asian News Service

Trump says he would consider deporting Elon Musk
President Donald Trump on Tuesday issued several warnings to Elon Musk and suggested he would consider deporting the tech mogul, in a widening rift between the former allies over a contentious spending bill that could heap trillions of dollars to America's national debt. Speaking on the White House lawn before visiting Florida for the opening of a new migrant centre, Mr Trump said he could consider deporting Mr Musk, the South African born billionaire. 'I don't know, we'll have to take a look,' Mr Trump said. Mr Trump said he believed Mr Musk's criticism of his so-called Big Beautiful Bill was due to measures that cut subsidies and support for electric vehicles. 'He's losing his EV mandate. He's very upset about things, but you know, he could lose a lot more than that, I can tell you right now. Elon can lose a lot more than that,' he said. Mr Trump then said the Department of Government Efficiency (Doge), which Mr Musk led before stepping down in May, may be turned on the companies he runs – Tesla and SpaceX – which receive government subsidies. 'We might have to put Doge on Elon,' Mr Trump said. 'Doge is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon.' Mr Musk shot back on X: 'So tempting to escalate this. So, so tempting. But I will refrain for now.' Mr Trump put Mr Musk in charge of Doge and tasked him with cutting government spending. The billionaire enlisted the help of 'tech bros' who put a chainsaw to thousands of government projects and jobs. Mr Musk, the world's richest man, was Mr Trump's largest donor in the election last year. Early in the administration, he was constantly at the White House at Mr Trump's side. But they had a public and acrimonious fallout last month – much of it playing out over social media – over Mr Trump's tax and spending bill. On Monday, Mr Trump wrote on Truth Social that 'without subsidies, Elon would probably have to close up shop and head back home to South Africa'.
