MENA Newswire, SAN FRANCISCO: Global drugmakers are increasingly using artificial intelligence to compress the most time-consuming parts of clinical development, applying the technology to tasks such as selecting trial sites, screening participants, monitoring data flows and assembling regulatory documents. Executives and investors described the shift in recent industry briefings, as companies look for practical ways to shorten timelines and reduce manual work in late-stage programs. The tools being deployed range from machine-learning systems that analyze performance and patient data to generative AI software that drafts and checks technical text. Companies have focused first on the operational steps that routinely slow trials, including identifying sites likely…

MENA Newswire, SAN FRANCISCO: Microsoft on Jan. 26 introduced Maia 200, the second generation of its in-house artificial intelligence accelerator, built to run AI models in production across Azure data centres. The company said Maia 200 is designed for inference, the stage where trained models generate responses to live requests, and will be used to support a range of Microsoft AI services. Maia 200 is manufactured on TSMC’s 3-nanometer process and includes more than 140 billion transistors, Microsoft said. The chip pairs compute with a new memory system that includes 216 gigabytes of HBM3e high-bandwidth memory and about 272 megabytes of on-chip SRAM, aimed at…

EuroWire, SAN FRANCISCO: Apple has introduced faster wireless connectivity for select Mac and iPad models through recent software updates, improving Wi-Fi performance without a formal announcement in consumer-facing release notes. The enhancement is delivered as part of iPadOS 26.2 and macOS Tahoe 26.2 and affects devices equipped with Wi-Fi 6E hardware. The update increases the maximum supported channel bandwidth on 5 GHz Wi-Fi networks, enabling higher data throughput when paired with compatible wireless routers and network configurations. The performance gain comes from enabling support for 160 MHz channel widths on the 5 GHz band, doubling the previous 80 MHz limit available on supported Apple devices.…

Cupertino, California, November 28, 2025: Apple Inc. is finalizing development of its first foldable iPhone, which will reportedly feature a crease-free display when it enters production, according to information emerging from the company’s supply chain partners. The device, informally referred to as the iPhone Fold, marks Apple’s entry into the foldable smartphone segment and is expected to introduce a new display engineering standard that eliminates the visible crease typically found on foldable screens. Sources within the production network indicate that Apple has completed engineering validation for the foldable model, advancing it closer to the mass-production phase. The company has reportedly refined the internal structure of the…

LONDON, NOVEMBER 18, 2025: A significant technical failure at Cloudflare, one of the internet’s largest infrastructure providers, has caused widespread disruption across the global web, taking down numerous high-traffic websites including the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter. The outage, which was first observed shortly before noon in the UK, rapidly highlighted the critical concentration risk inherent in centralized web services. Cloudflare’s technical problems led to error messages being displayed to users attempting to access platforms that rely on its extensive global network for crucial performance and security functions. The incident marks another instance of a single point of failure…

Apple unveils iPad Pro with M5 chip, delivering faster AI, advanced OLED display, and top-tier performance for professionals worldwide.

NEW YORK, United States, October 19, 2025: Wall Street is sharply divided over whether the current surge in artificial intelligence investments represents sustainable technological progress or the early stages of a financial market bubble. As capital continues to flow into AI-focused firms at record levels, regulators, analysts, and institutional investors are closely monitoring the risks of overheating in global equity markets. A recent report by the International Monetary Fund has warned of elevated market concentration driven by AI-linked equities, which now account for nearly half of the total market capitalization of the S&P 500. The IMF’s Global Financial Stability Report notes that markets are…
