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.
