India has further tightened its regulation of online platforms, mandating that social media companies remove unlawful content within three hours of receiving a government notice, significantly reducing the previous 36-hour deadline. The government announced the change on Tuesday as part of amendments to India’s 2021 Information Technology rules, a framework that has frequently put Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s administration at odds with global technology firms including Meta, Google and Elon Musk’s X. The revised regulations will come into force on February 20. The sharply reduced response window represents a major compliance challenge for large platforms operating at scale. Companies will…

IndiaAI, under the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY), has launched Kaushal Rath, a mobile artificial intelligence awareness initiative aimed at expanding foundational AI education across the country. The programme, introduced in collaboration with the All India Society for Electronics and Computer Technology (AISECT), is part of the National AI Literacy campaign titled “Yuva AI for All.” The initiative was flagged off from India Gate in New Delhi by Union Minister of State for Commerce & Industry and Electronics & Information Technology, Shri Jitin Prasada. It seeks to bridge the digital divide by taking AI learning directly to students,…
Fractile, a London-based semiconductor company, has announced a £100 million ($136.43 million) investment to expand its UK operations over the next three years. The move includes the creation of a new hardware engineering facility in Bristol aimed at scaling production of advanced artificial intelligence (AI) chips and developing next-generation computing systems. The British government said the investment would fund the growth of Fractile’s UK-based engineering team and support work on systems optimised to run AI models faster than current hardware allows. The Bristol site will not only assemble Fractile’s chips into fully functional AI systems but will also host a…
Munich-based startup ERC System has conducted a test flight of what it describes as one of Europe’s largest electric vertical takeoff and landing aircraft, marking a significant step for heavy-lift eVTOL development on the continent. The aircraft, named Romeo, is a 2.7-tonne prototype designed for demanding missions such as medical evacuations and inter-hospital patient transfers. The public demonstration took place on Friday at the Erding military airfield near Munich. With a wingspan of 16 metres and dimensions comparable to a conventional helicopter, the aircraft successfully lifted off during its first showcased flight, validating its basic performance envelope. According to the…
China is facing growing supply constraints for server processors as Intel (INTC.O) and AMD (AMD.O) notify customers of extended delivery lead times, sources familiar with the matter said. The shortages are being driven by surging demand for artificial intelligence (AI) infrastructure, which has created unprecedented stress across the chip supply chain. Intel warned of delivery lead times for its fourth- and fifth-generation Xeon CPUs of up to six months, while AMD has extended some delivery windows to eight to ten weeks. The rapid AI adoption has pushed memory prices higher, further compounding the challenges, according to industry sources. Intel AMD…
India’s nuclear energy programme is set for a significant scale-up, with the country’s India nuclear power capacity currently standing at 8,780 MW across 24 operational nuclear power plants, excluding the 100 MW Rajasthan Atomic Power Station-1. In a written reply to the Rajya Sabha, Minister of State for Personnel, Public Grievances & Pensions and Prime Minister’s Office Dr Jitendra Singh said that 17 additional nuclear reactors, with a combined capacity of 13,100 MW, are under various stages of implementation and are expected to be completed progressively by 2031–32. India Nuclear Power Capacity Expansion Underway Of the 17 reactors, seven are…
Levi’s Stadium underwent a sweeping technological overhaul ahead of Super Bowl LX, as the National Football League and the San Francisco 49ers implemented a major cybersecurity and Wi-Fi upgrade to prepare the venue for one of the world’s most watched sporting events. The upgrade process began more than a year ago and involved laying miles of fibre-optic cable, installing hundreds of wireless access points and strengthening digital defences to protect against potential cyber threats. With nearly 65,000 fans expected inside the stadium, officials aimed to ensure seamless connectivity and robust security throughout the event. AI-Driven Cybersecurity Takes Centre Stage A…
The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has completed the geo-technical investigation and topography survey for its Third Launch Pad, following financial approval on March 21, 2025. The organisation has now begun preparing and floating tenders for key components of the project, with two tenders already issued. Civil Works Underway Civil construction is currently focused on approach roads and the provision of temporary power supply. Major upcoming milestones include establishing the propellant storage and servicing systems, realising the mobile launch pedestal, installing lightning protection towers, laying rail tracks to the vehicle integration buildings, and constructing the Jet Deflection Duct. The planned…
YouTube Becomes the Centre of the TV Screen A successful horror film thrives on suspense and uncertainty. A similar tension has been building quietly inside the boardrooms of major media companies, as YouTube’s expanding influence forces difficult strategic choices. Once seen mainly as a platform for short clips and user-generated content, YouTube has evolved into a central pillar of television viewing — and a growing source of unease for traditional broadcasters. Owned by Alphabet, YouTube now hosts everything from Hollywood films to live news channels. According to estimates from Visible Alpha, the platform is expected to generate more than $70…
Pentagon Moves to Rebuild Depleted Stockpiles Raytheon, a unit of RTX, has reached a seven-year agreement with the U.S. Department of Defense to significantly expand production of key missile systems, including Tomahawk cruise missiles, AMRAAM air-to-air missiles and ballistic missile interceptors. The company said the agreement is part of Washington’s broader effort to rebuild weapons stockpiles depleted by recent conflicts and sustained military support to allies. The deal follows a series of similar long-term agreements between the administration of President Donald Trump and major U.S. defence contractors. These contracts are designed to lock in government demand over multiple years, giving…
