Anosh Ahmed Taps AI Swarm Intelligence to Optimize Relief Delivery Routes in Disaster Zones
In the face of natural disasters, quick response time can mean the difference between survival and tragedy. Recognizing this urgency, philanthropist and entrepreneur Anosh Ahmed is now exploring a cutting-edge solution: AI-powered swarm intelligence to improve how relief supplies are delivered to the hardest-hit areas. About Anosh Ahmed Anosh Ahmed is a Dubai-based entrepreneur and humanitarian known for using innovation to solve real-world problems. As the founder of Anosh Foundation Inc, he has led numerous initiatives in education, healthcare, and disaster relief across Pakistan, India, and the UAE. His work stands out for blending advanced technology with a deeply human-centered approach, ensuring that aid reaches communities efficiently and with dignity. How Swarm AI Works in Disaster Relief Swarm intelligence is modeled after collective behavior seen in birds, ants, and bees. In humanitarian logistics, this means deploying fleets of drones, delivery vehicles, or boats that communicate and coordinate in real time, adapting quickly to blocked roads, weather changes, and evolving needs on the ground. Key features of Anosh Ahmed's initiative include: Live route optimization during emergencies AI coordination between local distribution hubs Ability to reroute supplies mid-transit for maximum reach Integration with mobile apps for local feedback and tracking Inspired by Real-World Challenges In Arunachal Pradesh, India, emergency drones were recently deployed to deliver food and medicine to villages cut off by floods and landslides. Similar blockages occurred in Sindh, Pakistan, where boats became the only option for aid delivery. Anosh Ahmed's team is drawing lessons from these real events and working with AI developers to simulate delivery scenarios in flood-prone and conflict-affected zones. The goal is to pre-map risk zones and deploy smart relief systems before disaster strikes. Pilot Regions and Global Partnerships Initial pilot programs are planned for: Sindh and Balochistan (Pakistan) Remote hill regions of Uttarakhand and Northeast India Urban slums near Karachi and Mumbai with limited disaster infrastructure The Anosh Foundation Inc is also in early talks with UAE-based drone logistics firms and Indian edtech/AI labs to jointly fund and scale the deployment of these technologies. Training Local Communities Technology is only half the equation. Ahmed's plan also includes: Training programs for local volunteers on drone handling and relief coordination for local volunteers on drone handling and relief coordination Workshops on digital literacy for youth in disaster-prone zones on digital literacy for youth in disaster-prone zones Collaboration with local NGOs for last-mile delivery and reporting This ensures that communities are not just passive recipients of aid, but active participants in the response ecosystem. A New Era of Smart Philanthropy For Anosh Ahmed, the goal is clear: merge innovation with empathy. Swarm AI is not a replacement for boots on the ground, it's an amplifier. By using intelligent systems to streamline delivery, reduce delays, and scale operations quickly, Ahmed hopes to set a new benchmark for AI-powered humanitarian relief. Like this: Like Related

Ulster's former sponsors Kingspan strike new deal with French club: ‘We have a strong track record of supporting rugby'
The Kingspan logo will be emblazed on the club's famous rouge and noir jersey for the next four seasons, in a multi-million Euro deal. Bernard Lemaître, President of Toulonnais said: 'This partnership with Kingspan goes beyond jersey visibility. It's about two organisations coming together around a shared vision. We are proud to associate the image of RC Toulon with an international group that embodies innovation, performance, and environmental responsibility.' Kingspan's 11-year sponsorship of Ulster - that included naming rights for the Belfast ground traditionally known as Ravenhill - was dogged by controversary following the Grenfell Tower fire that saw 72 die in June 2017. Kingspan was one of several construction firms to face significant criticism in the final report into the disaster. The company has long said its K15 insulation product, which made up 5% of the insulation in the tower block, was used without its knowledge. Ulster's relationship with Kingspan came to end during the summer. Their Belfast home is now known officially as Affidea Stadium. CEO of Kingspan Gene Murtagh said on the sponsorship deal with the French giants: 'We have a strong track record of supporting rugby globally, and we are delighted to partner with RC Toulon and join the 'Rouge & Noir' family. This partnership is a logical fit for Kingspan as we continue to grow our investment, employment and manufacturing footprint in France.'

Man Utd identify Carlos Baleba transfer alternative available in cut-price deal
Brighton have yet to budge on their asking price for Carlos Baleba and this could leave Manchester United turning their attention to more affordable midfield targets Sevilla star Lucien Agoume is the latest name to be linked with Manchester United as the Red Devils seek out cheaper alternatives to Carlos Baleba. United appear unwilling to meet Brighton's nine-figure asking price for Baleba, having already splashed £200million this summer. Earlier this week, it emerged that Morten Hjulmand and Adam Wharton were both being considered, though neither would be straightforward signings. Sporting Lisbon want big money to allow Hjulmand to reunite with Ruben Amorim, while Palace may decide they can't afford to lose Wharton if his team-mates Eberechi Eze and Marc Guehi also leave this month. According to reports in Spain (via Sport Witness), Agoume has a release clause worth just under £35m and might be available for even less than that. Other, unnamed Premier League clubs are also said to be in the mix, though one-time suitors Arsenal are unlikely to return for the Frenchman after previous links, having landed Martin Zubimendi in July. Agoume joined Sevilla from Inter Milan in a cut-price deal in 2024, and was a regular last season as the team narrowly escaped relegation from La Liga. He was also part of the French side which reached the semi-finals of the Under-21 Euros, playing in all but one of their matches and captaining the side against Poland. While Profit and Sustainability Rules make a move for Baleba unlikely this summer, a cheaper option such as Agoume could be the answer. However, much may still depend on sales elsewhere. United have signed off on loan exits for the likes of Marcus Rashford and Toby Collyer, but are still working on permanent exits for some other players. Alejandro Garnacho and Rasmus Hojlund are among those who could yet leave, though United and Chelsea remain at odds over a valuation for the former. There are also questions in the goalkeeper position, as links with Gianluigi Donnarumma persist. The arrival of the Italian might rely on United selling Andre Onana, with Inter Milan said to be interested in bringing the Cameroonian back to the San Siro. Despite losing to Arsenal in their opening league game, United are looking at the positives after a tough end to last season. 'The group, for me, is just, I don't know, there's such a good vibe. We're all invested in something,' forward Joshua Zirkzee told club media. "You can really tell that we really want to make sure that we're not doing what we did last season. Also, outside the pitch, there's some good vibes. We're doing a lot of team bonding. I feel we're much closer than we were last season, and hopefully we can translate all of that onto the pitch and share it with you, you know, the rest of the world who's supporting United.'
