The agreement was signed in the presence of Minister for Human Resource Development (HRD) and Information Technology (IT) Nara Lokesh.
The MoU, valid for three years, marks a non-financial collaboration aimed at providing free access to Oracle's world-class learning resources to eligible learners. Through this initiative, the APSSDC and Oracle will work together to upskill 400,000 youth over three years in cutting-edge technologies such as Oracle Cloud, Artificial Intelligence, data science and cloud security.
As part of this collaboration, the learners will have round the clock access to Oracle University's 'MyLearn' digital learning platform. Curated learning paths and certifications, including Oracle Cloud Essentials, OCI Foundations, AI Foundations and Cloud Security Professional, will be offered for free. Special focus will be placed on promoting inclusivity and encouraging participation from women and marginalised communities.

Elon Musk tried to derail OpenAI-led UAE deal, pressured Trump for xAI role: Report
Elon Musk reportedly attempted to obstruct a landmark artificial intelligence partnership between OpenAI and the United Arab Emirates unless his own startup, xAI, was brought into the fold, according to people familiar with the matter cited byThe Wall Street Journal. The deal, announced on 22 May, involves a consortium of major American tech companies led by OpenAI and aims to build one of the largest AI data centres in the world, located in Abu Dhabi. It includes partners such as Oracle, Nvidia, Cisco and SoftBank, and is being spearheaded by G42, an Emirati AI company controlled by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed al Nahyan, the UAE's national security adviser and brother to the country's president. You may be interested in Musk, whose company xAI has trailed OpenAI in terms of commercial reach, was reportedly angered after learning in mid-May that OpenAI CEO Sam Altman would accompany U.S. President Donald Trump on a tour of the Gulf region. Sources told theWSJ that Musk warned G42 officials that Trump would not approve any deal unless xAI was included. Tensions escalated when Musk, having learned of the pending agreement, abruptly decided to join Trump's trip, and appeared alongside the President in Saudi Arabia. White House aides later confirmed that Musk had voiced concerns about the fairness of the deal, although officials ultimately gave the project the go-ahead despite his objections. One official noted that managing Musk's reaction became a priority, as both Trump and his AI and crypto adviser, David Sacks, wanted to unveil the UAE partnership before the end of the Middle East tour. 'This was another great deal for the American people, thanks to President Trump and his exceptional team,' said White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt. This latest flare-up follows a pattern. In January, Musk reacted similarly to the announcement of the U.S.-based Stargate initiative—a separate AI investment effort involving OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. Musk reportedly complained then that the project lacked adequate funding, and criticised the initiative on his social platform, X. Tensions between Musk and Altman have been simmering for years. The two co-founded OpenAI in 2015, but Musk left in 2018 amid internal disputes. Since then, their relationship has soured, with Musk accusing Altman of straying from the organisation's nonprofit roots and publicly mocking him with derogatory nicknames. In 2023, Musk even filed a lawsuit against Altman, alleging a betrayal of OpenAI's original mission. Despite his objections, Musk maintains strong business ties in the region. Tahnoon's MGX fund was a key investor in a $6 billion fundraising round for xAI last December. In February, Dubai inked a deal with Musk's Boring Company to develop an 11-mile underground tunnel network. At the same event, Musk appeared virtually alongside the UAE's Minister of AI. The Emirates, eager to diversify their oil-reliant economy, have made AI a top strategic priority. After the Biden administration curbed exports of advanced AI chips to the UAE and others, the Gulf nation successfully lobbied the returning Trump administration to ease restrictions. In return, they promised substantial investments in American infrastructure and AI partnerships. Under the framework agreement, the Stargate UAE project is set to host multiple American tech companies in a sprawling data hub powered by an estimated five gigawatts of energy—surpassing any existing single-site data centre in the U.S. The UAE will also fund a mirror project on American soil as part of the bilateral arrangement. While xAI was not included in the initial announcement, WSJ says it remains on a shortlist of U.S. firms conditionally cleared to acquire a significant share of the 500,000 high-end AI chips permitted annually under the deal. The future phases of the Stargate project could still involve Musk's firm.

Ride along Vizag Beach Road on double-decker bus to be a reality soon
Ever dreamt of travelling along the scenic Beach Road from RK Beach to Bheemunipatnam in a double-decker open-top bus, covering the pristine coastline on one side and lush green hills on the other? Well, it may become a reality soon as the Greater Visakhapatnam Smart City Corporation Limited (GVSCCL), in collaboration with the Tourism Department, is planning to introduce double-decker bus services, covering key tourist hotspots in Visakhapatnam. The Ashok Leyland Group donated a double-decker bus to the Andhra Pradesh government to promote tourism in the State. IT and HRD Minister Nara Lokesh has ensured that the bus is allocated to Visakhapatnam, recognising the strong tourism potential of the city. Tender floated Building on this, the GVSCCL, with the support of the Tourism Department, is planning to procure two more double-decker buses by using the Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) funds. Tenders (Request for Proposal) have already been floated for this purpose and the last date for accepting the proposals is May 31. Chief Engineer G. Siva Prasad Raju states that the new service will operate on a 'hop-on, hop-off' model, providing tourists with an innovative and flexible way to explore the city's tourist attractions. 'For example, a tourist can board the bus at RK Beach and get off at Tenneti Park to spend some time there and hop onto another bus to reach Rushikonda. The buses will operate on a circuit, with high frequency to suit passengers' needs, allowing tourists to explore the city at their own pace,' he explains. Of the three proposed bus services, two will feature closed-top decks, while one will have an open-top design. The decision has been taken, keeping in the view of the local weather conditions and preferences of tourists. The authorities are yet to finalise the routes and fare structures. The initial plan focuses on the Beach Road stretch from RK Beach to Bheemunipatnam, which features a string of tourist spots including Kursura Submarine Museum, Visakha Museum, Kailasagiri Ropeway, Tenneti Park, Jodugullapalem View Point, Rushikonda Beach, and Erra Matti Dibbalu. Future expansions may include other popular locations such as the Simhachalam temple and One Town.

Dubai govt gifting free ChatGPT Plus to everyone? Is it real, what is the truth, and where is the catch
Yes, it is real. If you live in Dubai or any place else in the UAE, you'll soon get free access to ChatGPT Plus — the premium version of OpenAI's popular chatbot. This move makes the UAE the first country in the world to offer ChatGPT Plus — which usually costs $20 (roughly Rs 1,700) a month — to its entire population at no cost. The plan is part of a major agreement between OpenAI and the UAE government, under a programme called OpenAI for Countries. This programme is not just about free AI tools — the bigger goal is to help countries build local AI infrastructure while staying in line with US regulations and global what's the truth behind this? The deal is a big one. As part of the partnership, OpenAI and several global tech companies — including Oracle, Nvidia, Cisco, SoftBank and G42 — are coming together to build a massive AI computing centre in Abu Dhabi. It's called Stargate UAE, and the first phase of the project — around 200 megawatts — is expected to be ready by next year. In total, the facility is planned to reach one gigawatt of computing power, which is huge. OpenAI's CEO, Sam Altman, says the idea is to spread the benefits of AI — like improved healthcare, cleaner energy, and better education — to more people around the what about the catch? Honestly, there doesn't seem to be one — at least, not for the public. If you live in the UAE, you'll be able to use ChatGPT Plus for free, whether it's for writing, coding, studying, or simply getting answers to everyday questions. This version includes OpenAI's most advanced tools and models. For the general public, it's a win. But the real investment is happening behind the According to a report by The New York Times, the partnership includes a huge financial commitment: for every dollar spent by the UAE on local AI development, the same amount will be invested in US-based AI infrastructure. That figure could reach up to $20 billion in total. So, while people in the UAE get free access to advanced AI, the broader plan is to grow OpenAI's influence and ensure US-aligned AI systems become the global while the UAE appears to be leading the charge, this could just be the beginning. OpenAI says its Chief Strategy Officer, Jason Kwon, will be visiting other Asia Pacific nations to explore similar deals. If things go well, more countries may get access to ChatGPT and localised AI tools, customised to their languages, cultures and regulations.
