LG's Radio Optimism: A Heartfelt Tune to Brighten Your Day
In a world where endless scrolling and double-tapping dominate how we connect, LG is reminding us of something beautifully simple: real connection comes from the heart, not the algorithm. Introducing Radio Optimism, a refreshing new initiative under LG's Life's Good campaign that swaps digital noise for something more meaningful, personalized songs made just for the people who matter most to you. Whether it's a friend who's been your rock, a parent who's your hero, or a partner who lights up your days, Radio Optimism lets you express how you feel through music. All it takes is a few taps. Visit the Radio Optimism platform, share a few words about your someone special, and LG's platform turns your sentiment into a one-of-a-kind song, ready to be shared, and remembered. Because when someone creates a heartfelt song for you, or you make one for them, that's when true connection happens. That's when Life's Good becomes more than a slogan, it becomes a feeling. From touching tracks like My Dad, My Hero to cheerful melodies like Keep Swimming and Loving Life With My Beautiful Wife, the campaign already features hundreds of tunes that speak the language of emotion. And while AI plays a role in helping bring these songs to life, the heart behind each melody is entirely human. Radio Optimism is more than a campaign; it's a dedication station. It's a space where positivity is broadcast 24/7, and kindness takes center stage. In a time when we all need a little more optimism, LG is putting a smile back on our feeds, and in our hearts. Because technology should bring us closer. And LG believes that starts with reminding people that Life's Good, especially when we're kind to one another. So… who's your song for?

University of Baghdad to establish AI-focused college
The University of Baghdad in Iraq will establish a college dedicated to artificial intelligence, according to a ministerial order issued on Monday. It comes as countries throughout the Middle East seek to become major players in the booming AI sector, which is at the centre of unprecedented investment and interest. Naeem Al Aboudi, Iraq's Minister of Higher Education and Scientific Research, said the decision to have a specific college at the University of Baghdad dedicated to AI was part of a larger 'strategic vision to develop the Iraqi academic system and keep pace with global digital and knowledge transformations'. According to the news release, the AI-focused portion of the University will begin in the upcoming academic year, and will focus on AI as it applies to 'engineering, biomedical applications and big data'. Estimates indicate that between 60,000 and 70,000 students are enrolled in the University of Baghdad. In common with other countries in the Middle East, Iraq sees AI as an opportunity to diversify its economy away from oil. Experts warn, however, that AI could disrupt labour in the short term. Emphasising AI in universities is seen as a way to blunt the impact of labour disruption, helping to prepare students for a new economy. The University of Baghdad is not alone in its endeavour to formally incorporate AI into higher education. In 2019, before AI was dominating headlines, the UAE announced plans to establish of the Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), the world's first higher learning institution dedicated to AI. MBZUAI opened the following year. AI projects and programmes throughout the Middle East have helped to place a greater emphasis on the inclusion of Arabic and other cultural aspects that might have otherwise been left out of the technology development, which initially focused on English and Western data.
