UAE’s nuclear future

We're discussing not just driverless taxis today on The Agenda, but even fully driverless personal vehicles as US robocar company Tensor has secured federal approval from the UAE Government’s Regulations Lab to begin testing across the Emirates, a significant regulatory milestone.

The interest in the Winter Olympics has spiked here in the UAE, after two athletes were officially sent to compete. And now we’re looking at how Olympic uniforms are no longer just about function, they’re about making a statement.

Social media companies Instagram and YouTube have been accused of creating "addiction machines" as a landmark trial began in California examining the mental health effects of these platforms.

One of the most talked about developments at WHX is an AI-powered recruitment chatbot being demonstrated live at the Emirates Health Services booth. But do we want our nurses and doctors to be picked by a bot?

And researchers from the UK have found that AI chatbots can provide inaccurate and inconsistent information when people seek help about their symptoms.

The future of mobility in the UAE

With Ramadan just around the corner, shopping habits are changing. From supermarket aisles and online deals to Iftar orders and special promotions, it is a busy time for consumers. So, we are turning our attention to consumer protection during the Holy Month and get the advices from Ahmad Ahli from the Dubai Corporation for Consumer Protection and Fair Trade. 

UAE authorities have issued a warning after a growing number of cases showed children being targeted through online games and social media. What may look harmless on the surface can quickly turn risky, with scammers using fake gamer profiles, private chats, and social engineering tactics to gain children’s trust.

What if we could identify people at risk of losing their sight before they ever show symptoms? That’s the promise of a remarkable new study from the Emirati Genome Program

Across Dubai, residents are once again coming together to provide daily Iftar meals throughout the Holy Month of Ramadan.

And why does the same cold hit people differently?
