As trade talks gather pace, Indian team extends stay in US
India's trade team has extended its stay in Washington to iron out differences as the two sides look to clinch a deal before a July 9 deadline when higher US tariffs are set to kick in, people familiar with the matter said.
The in-person negotiations were initially supposed to run through June 27 but were extended by a day, raising hopes of an interim trade deal. Both sides have dug in their heels over a few key issues including Washington's demand that India open its market to genetically modified crops.

Is this Hollywood's moment of AI reckoning?
For some in Hollywood, as Silicon Valley's AI models have become impossible to ignore, it's better to have a seat at the table as these new technologies emerge, rather than sitting back and letting the tech titans take full control. This, at least, is the impetus behind Asteria, the generative AI studio cofounded by the filmmaking couple of Bryn Mooser and Natasha Lyonne, who promote their company as using 'ethical' AI. Lyonne has justified her embrace of the technology by explaining: 'It's better to get your hands dirty than pretend it's not happening.' The company has faced some backlash, both because Lyonne (tastelessly, her detractors would argue) claimed the late David Lynch had endorsed AI, and because its flagship model is proprietary—meaning we have no way to verify that it is indeed trained only on licensed material (as Lyonne and co. say it is). Meanwhile, James Cameron is on Stability AI's board, and has expressed his hope for using AI to make blockbuster filmmaking cheaper. Jason Blum's Blumhouse Productions has partnered with Meta for AI testing and chatbots. Lionsgate signed a deal with Runway, an AI startup valued at $3 billion, to let the company train its model on the studio's 20,000+ films and TV series; Runway also signed a deal with AMC. This embrace of AI, though, puts the James Camerons and Natasha Lyonnes of the world at odds with industry peers who are opting to push back on these would-be robot overlords before they take over.

Huawei expands free AI learning opportunities across Egypt
Cairo, Egypt: In a significant step to make digital education more accessible to all, Huawei has signed three strategic Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Al-Azhar University, the Egyptian-Russian University and 6th of October University, during the Huawei Instructors Forum 2025- an event that also showcased Huawei's latest technologies and digital education solutions, which aims to strength the engagement and co-operation with Egyptian universities and maximize the benefits to all students. The agreements mark the official launch of the 'Huawei AI Program'— a bold initiative that brings the world of Artificial Intelligence closer to students across Egypt. This move reflects Huawei's belief that opportunity should be open to all — and that everyone deserves a chance to thrive in an AI-driven world. The MOU was signed by Eng. Asmaa Serag – Director of Huawei Academies Egypt, Professor Dr. Mohamed Farag, University President's Consultant for Digital Transformation at Al-Azhar University; Professor Dr. Hossam ElBahary, Head of Information Systems and Network Technology Department, Faculty of Information Systems and Computer Science at October 6 University; Professor Dr. Tamer Saleh, Associate professor for the faculty of engineering at the Egyptian Russian University. Through this collaboration, Huawei is embedding its AI courses into Egypt's academic curriculum, giving over 25,000 students access to world-class learning now available on the Huawei Talent platform. Designed to be accessible, inclusive, and engaging, the program will be activated for more than 10,000 students at Al-Azhar University, 10,000 at the Egyptian-Russian University, and 5,000 at 6th of October University — empowering a new generation to explore the world of Artificial Intelligence and thrive in a rapidly evolving digital future. Offered as part of Huawei's latest suite of cutting-edge technologies and solutions, the AI course consists of seven dynamic sessions, presented in a clear, animated format, the course breaks down the fundamentals of Artificial Intelligence in an engaging, easy-to-follow way — with no prior technical knowledge required. Fully online, completely free, and available in both English and Arabic, it is open to everyone — regardless of age, background, or profession — and can be accessed anytime, anywhere with a simple, free account. Mr. Robert Parua, Education Programme Specialist at the UNESCO Regional Office in Cairo stated: 'At UNESCO, we believe that digital transformation in education is not just about technology—it's about people. Our long-standing partnership with Huawei reflects a shared vision to empower educators, upskill youth, and foster inclusive, innovative learning ecosystems. In this era, we must ensure that no one is left behind by leveraging technology to build a more equitable, resilient, and sustainable future for all.' Mr. Dou Yong, Vice President of Huawei Technologies Egypt, said: 'At Huawei, we envision a world where technology transforms education into a powerful force for progress, inclusion, and opportunity. We believe that education is the cornerstone of a sustainable and thriving future — and in a rapidly evolving digital age, the need to connect academic knowledge with real-world skills has never been more critical. Through initiatives like the Huawei ICT Academy, we proudly stand alongside passionate instructors to empower students, nurture future innovators, and build a generation ready to lead in the digital era. Together, we are not just advancing education — we are shaping a smarter, more connected, and more inclusive tomorrow for all'. Eng. Asmaa Serag, Director of Huawei Academies Egypt, stated: 'Through the Huawei ICT Academies, we've built a strong foundation for digital capacity building across Egypt — and this new AI initiative is an exciting next step. By partnering with leading universities, we are expanding the reach of future-focused skills and helping students unlock new learning opportunities in AI. Our mission is to create accessible, high-impact programs that equip youth with the knowledge and confidence to lead in a digital-first world.'

TASC slashes tech hiring time in Saudi Arabia with launch of Tech Vertical AIQU
Riyadh, KSA: Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 is driving a significant surge in demand for technology talent, especially in AI and machine learning. However, many companies face challenges such as lengthy hiring processes, high costs, and limited flexibility, which cause delays that put critical digital projects at risk. Overcoming these obstacles is essential to sustaining the Kingdom's fast-moving digital transformation. AIQU, powered by workforce solutions provider TASC, builds on its established presence in Saudi Arabia by introducing innovative solutions like Deploy-on-Demand, which is designed to cut tech hiring timelines by up to 50%. With a proven track record in Tech Talent, Statement of Work, Digital, and Managed Services, AIQU continues to evolve to meet the Kingdom's growing demand for agile workforce solutions. They enable clients to rapidly fill specialized roles while handling iqama, payroll, compliance, and onboarding, providing pre-verified talent ready to deploy within 2 to 6 weeks, compared to the market average of 3 to 6 months. This innovative solution is already supporting public sector digital programs, banking and fintech transformations, global consultancies, and rapidly scaling SAP and ERP projects across the Kingdom. Tackling the Tech Talent Shortage Industries such as cloud computing, AI, and cybersecurity are expanding faster than available talent can keep pace, creating an urgent tech crunch in Saudi Arabia. Roles like cloud architects, SAP consultants, and data engineers are in high demand, but local expertise remains limited. For specialized skills such as OT/ICS security or data governance, the talent gap is even more pronounced. AP consulting roles, for example, have a local talent shortfall of up to 40%. Traditional hiring methods are often too slow and rigid to meet these evolving needs. 'Many businesses simply cannot afford the three to six-month hiring cycles associated with conventional recruitment or global system integrators,' says Tim Harlow, Head of AIQU. 'Critical transformation projects cannot wait, yet the complexity of the Saudi recruitment market makes speed challenging. Vision 2030's momentum has created an enormous opportunity for organizations able to close their talent gaps quickly.' System integrators add further cost and complexity with approval processes and onboarding delays, making these models less sustainable. 'Cost, speed, and flexibility are the three pillars every client struggles with. Existing models are too rigid for today's dynamic projects,' Taha Esmail, VP - AIQU added. Deploy-on-Demand: A Faster, Flexible, and Cost-Effective Solution AIQU's Deploy-on-Demand model is built to overcome these challenges by offering pre-verified, project-ready tech talent mobilized up to 70% faster than traditional hiring models. Clients submit role requirements tied to project deliverables, and AIQU matches candidates from a continuously refreshed bench of regional and international professionals. The service also manages full onboarding, including iqama, payroll, compliance, and Saudization requirements, ensuring faster time-to-productivity and regulatory alignment. Beyond speed, AIQU's approach delivers significant cost savings, typically 30% to 50% compared to traditional system integrators, by cutting multilayered consulting overheads and providing transparent pricing. 'Clients want agility. We enable them to scale teams up or down based on project phases without the cost and complexity of long-term headcount commitments,' said Pinky Mistry, VP – AIQU. With multiple Vision 2030 initiatives moving into execution phases, demand for specialized tech expertise will only intensify. To meet this need, AIQU is expanding its pipeline of Arabic-speaking professionals, partnering with local training academies, building offshore development centers and growing its presence across the Kingdom. 'Vision 2030's momentum has created a massive opportunity for those who can close talent gaps fast. Our focus is on giving clients the agility they need to keep pace with this transformation,' concludes Tim. About AIQU: AIQU is a strategic technology partner specializing in managed services, project execution, and talent solutions that enable organizations to scale and deliver digital transformation with confidence. Through a unique blend of top-tier tech talent and fully scoped project delivery teams, AIQU helps businesses streamline operations, reduce risk, and accelerate time to value.
