An AI that creates jobs instead of taking them: Boss Wallah launches BB AI
Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], August 19: At a time when conversations around Artificial Intelligence (AI) are dominated by fears of job losses and automation replacing human effort, a new approach has emerged. Boss Wallah, the #1 platform for entrepreneurs from Bharat, has launched BB AI -- an AI-powered tool designed not to take jobs, but to create them.
"Our aim is to leverage our AI expertise to help aspiring entrepreneurs launch their business. They do not need to master the complexities of technology and AI. We will bring it to them through our platform," said Sashi Reddi, Founder & CEO of Boss Wallah, emphasizing the company's mission to simplify entrepreneurship for millions.
The launch took place at the Boss Wallah Business Launchpad Program in Hyderabad, where over 130 aspiring entrepreneurs gathered to learn how to start and scale their ventures. Participants experienced BB AI firsthand, and the response was overwhelmingly positive.
One participating entrepreneur, Ramgopal Varma Penumatsa, remarked: "I explored BB AI and I was amazed. It gives me a detailed step by step guide on how to start my business. At every step I can get the help I need. Why spend ₹20-30 lakh on an MBA?"
AI as a business creator, not just a disruptor
In most industries, AI is seen as a productivity tool that reduces human involvement -- often at the cost of jobs. Boss Wallah's BB AI takes the opposite path: it empowers individuals to become entrepreneurs, build businesses, and generate employment.
Through the Boss Wallah app, BB AI allows users to:
- Explore 200+ curated business ideas -- from organic cafes and yoga studios to land brokerage and content production houses.
- Access a step-by-step Business Plan Roadmap, guiding them through research, learning, marketing, and launch.
- Customise business plans based on their budget and location, making every roadmap relevant to their personal situation.
- Chat with BB AI to get tailored support in starting, scaling, and running their business.
- Track progress and move from idea to execution, ensuring that business creation becomes a structured, achievable journey.

India's Growth Moves Beyond Metros: Dun & Bradstreet's City Vitality Index Maps New Urban Powerhouses
PRNewswire Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], August 19: Dun & Bradstreet, a global leader in business decisioning data and analytics, has released the City Vitality Index - Q3 2025, revealing India's shifting economic contours through real-time, satellite-based urban intelligence. Leveraging Earth Observation (EO) data, the Index captures economic activity across 700+ Indian districts -- offering a ground-breaking, micro-level view of the country's evolving urban vitality. Class-Y Cities Drive Momentum; Bengaluru Reclaims Top Rank, Prayagraj Leads Among Emerging Cities. "The Q3 CVI signals a decisive shift in India's growth trajectory," said Dr. Arun Singh, Global Chief Economist, Dun & Bradstreet. "While metros remain strong, it's the Class-Y cities (Tier-2 & Tier-3) that are reshaping the development map. From infrastructure to tourism-led growth, we're seeing a clear decentralization of economic activity. Prayagraj's continued top ranking -- bolstered by the 2025 Kumbh Mela -- and the rise of cities like Chandel and Karimganj show how both legacy and frontier factors are driving momentum." With India's GDP growing 7.4% in Q4 FY25, led by construction and consumption, the CVI reflects how this growth is manifesting across the urban spectrum -- highlighting both expected and overlooked drivers of economic dynamism. Highlights of the City Vitality Index - Q3 2025: * Bengaluru reclaimed the first position among metros, overtaking Ahmedabad, which dropped to second and Pune slipped to third. Chennai, Kolkata, and Delhi held steady, reflecting consistent urban performance. * Prayagraj maintained its lead among emerging cities for a second consecutive quarter, supported by infrastructure upgrades and cultural tourism. Thane and Varanasi also remained in the top five, while Paschim Bardhamanand Haora made strong upward moves into the top 10 cities. * Uttar Pradesh stood out with 19 cities in the top 100 -- more than any other state -- highlighting the state's focus on regional development, connectivity, and investment. * Chandel (Manipur) recorded the highest jump in ranking, climbing 296 places in a single quarter. Other major risers include Tengnoupal (Manipur), Karimganj (Assam), and Sitamarhi (Bihar) -- indicating expanding economic footprints in the Northeast and East. City Vitality Index - A Pulse on India's Urban Economy "CVI combines satellite-based insights with economic fundamentals, enabling sharper analysis of growth pockets and resilience," Dr. Singh added. "It's correlation of over 83% with nominal GDP -- and nearly 99% in highly urbanized districts -- makes it a powerful, high-frequency indicator for policymakers, businesses, and investors alike." As India's growth engines diversify, the City Vitality Index continues to offer a high-resolution lens into the urban economy -- spotlighting both legacy metros and new disruptors that are quietly powering the nation's next wave of development.

Baidu Wenku and Netdisk Launch GenFlow 2.0, Deploying Over 100 AI Agents Simultaneously
BEIJING, Aug. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Baidu Wenku and Netdisk, Baidu's AI-powered productivity apps, have introduced GenFlow 2.0, a general AI agent featuring more than 100 parallel agents working in collaboration and real-time pause-and-intervene control. Since its debut, GenFlow 2.0 has gained rapid traction with its innovative architecture. Built on Baidu Wenku's proprietary Multi-Agent Parallel Architecture, GenFlow 2.0 cuts complex task processing from hours to under three minutes by orchestrating more than 100 AI agents simultaneously — delivering unmatched speed and scalability compared with current solutions. Tasks such as drafting a full marketing campaign, designing accompanying visuals, and preparing a conference presentation can now be completed in a single, continuous workflow in minutes. Unlike most AI agents that operate as black boxes where users only see inputs and final outputs, GenFlow 2.0 gives users full control during execution — allowing tasks to be paused at any stage, instructions modified, and results edited — providing a highly transparent and controllable human-AI collaboration experience. To ensure accuracy and depth, GenFlow 2.0 autonomously accesses Baidu Scholar's 680 million peer-reviewed academic publications, Baidu Wenku's 1.4 billion professional documents, and user-approved Baidu Netdisk files. Combined with the retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) and multi-agent cross-validation, GenFlow 2.0 reduces hallucinations and delivers exceptional accuracy and reliability. GenFlow 2.0 supports an expansive range of multimodal outputs, including copywriting, visual design, slide creation, research report generation, animation production, and coding. Baidu Wenku's 97 million monthly active AI users—home to the world's largest AI-powered PPT user base—demonstrate the platform's proven execution stability and output quality. Now fully integrated into Baidu Wenku and Baidu Netdisk, which serve over one billion users, GenFlow 2.0 is also MCP-compatible and natively embedded at the OS level on leading Chinese smartphone brand HONOR — enabling seamless access across devices. While foundation model capabilities are important, long-term leadership will increasingly rely on engineering execution and product innovation. GenFlow 2.0 stands out with rapid product iteration, deep localization, and precise market alignment, enabled by its multi-agent architecture and uniquely controllable interaction model.

Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence begins new academic year with largest-ever cohort of 400+ students
ABU DHABI,UAE, Aug. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI) has welcomed its largest cohort for its Fall 2025 intake, enrolling 403 new students. This includes its inaugural undergraduate class, new graduate cohorts in existing programmes in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, and Robotics, and the first intakes into the Master of Science in Statistics & Data Science and Master in Applied Artificial Intelligence. This semester received more than 8,000 applications across the university's Bachelor and graduate programmes, yielding an acceptance rate of 5 per cent, and reinforcing the university's prestigious position and ability to attract the best talent in the UAE and from around the world. Timothy Baldwin, MBZUAI Provost and Professor of Natural Language Processing, said: "This year, MBZUAI welcomes our largest cohort of graduate students alongside our inaugural undergraduate class. Artificial intelligence is transforming the world at a pace that vastly outstrips traditional education models. To realise its full global potential, MBZUAI invests heavily in reviewing and updating our programmes to reflect modern AI research methodology and workflows, based on our bleeding-edge AI research credentials and grounded in societal and industrial needs. As a young institution, MBZUAI has already earned a place among the world's top 10 AI universities based on our research credentials. With the introduction of our undergraduate and Master's in Applied AI programmes, we continue to build world-leading programmes aligned with the UAE's National Strategy for AI 2031 and supporting Abu Dhabi's rapidly growing AI ecosystem." The newly launched Bachelor of Science in Artificial Intelligence programme offers two streams, AI for Business and AI for Engineering, combining technical rigor with leadership, hands-on entrepreneurship, and in-situ industry experience. The first class consists of 115 undergraduate students from more than 25 countries, over 25 per cent of which are UAE Nationals. Professor Baldwin said: "The jobs of tomorrow are being shaped by AI today and we must ensure that future generations are equipped with the tools and skills to navigate that shift. Our extraordinarily talented students don't just learn about AI, but learn with it, through it, and for it. This is an extraordinary value proposition across all our programmes, but especially for our undergraduate students, who will be studying towards a bachelor's degree in AI that I believe sets a new global benchmark in terms of technical depth, real-world relevance, and the high-end AI job-readiness of the students." The key highlights for the Fall 2025 intake includes MBZUAI's total student body totaling more than 700, representing over 47 nationalities. Nationalities represented in the undergraduate programmes are Bulgaria, China, Egypt, Georgia, Greece, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, the UAE and the UK. Postgraduate programmes bring together students from Canada, China, Egypt, France, India, Italy, Kazakhstan, Serbia, UAE, UK, USA and Vietnam. MBZUAI continues to attract exceptional students, with 151 of the incoming graduate students (27.5 per cent) holding degrees from the world's top 100 computer science universities (CSRankings), including Cornell University, Tsinghua University, the University of Edinburgh, and the University of California, San Diego. In welcoming the new students, MBZUAI has begun its immersive Orientation Week, introducing new students to the university's culture of academic excellence, AI-driven innovation, and community engagement. The programme combines academic sessions, mentorship activities, and cultural programming celebrating UAE heritage and life in Abu Dhabi. Highlights include the Orientation Mini Fair, where internal and external partners showcase resources for academic success, career development, and student life.
