IN an era defined by rapid technological advancement and digital convergence, nations that embrace digital transformation are poised for economic resilience, inclusive growth, and global competitiveness. With its vibrant, youthful population, expanding internet access, and evolving digital infrastructure, Pakistan stands at a pivotal crossroads. The country has a unique opportunity to transform into a dynamic digital economy that empowers its citizens, modernises governance, and dramatically boosts productivity across all sectors. Recent discussions at the Pakistan Banking Summit highlighted a growing consensus: Pakistan’s digital transformation must evolve beyond disparate initiatives and coalesce into a unified, strategic direction. While Pakistan has already undertaken several digital initiatives — the expansion of digital payment systems, e-governance platforms, e-commerce promotion, and digital identity services — these efforts, though indicative of a growing recognition of the digital future, remain fragmented. To avoid inefficiencies, duplication, and missed opportunities, these initiatives must be unified under a comprehensive National Digital Policy. Digital transformation is now as fundamental to economic prosperity as traditional monetary and fiscal policies. Such a strategic digital policy complements traditional economic strategies by facilitating digital consumption, fostering financial inclusion, catalysing innovation, expanding the real economy, and encouraging the emergence of new businesses, etc. The Digital Pakistan initiative already acknowledges this multifaceted transformation, aiming not merely for technology deployment but for the creation of an ecosystem where innovation flourishes, access is equitable, and institutions deliver citizen-centric services effectively. Crucially, the policy also integrates environmental, social, and governance (ESG) principles to ensure sustainable and inclusive digital growth. Pakistan’s financial sector should be supported and encouraged to play a leading role in its transition to a digital financial system and digital economy. By harnessing its human capital, investing in foundational digital infrastructure, and championing inclusive innovation, the country can emerge as an influential participant in the global digital landscape Institutions like the National Database and Registration Authority (Nadra) already provide frameworks for digital identity management. However, significant weaknesses persist, including digital literacy gaps, uneven internet access in rural areas, limited digital infrastructure, and poor interoperability among platforms. Yet, opportunities abound. Fintech, in particular, offers promising avenues for greater financial inclusion. Still, threats loom, such as cybersecurity breaches, data privacy issues, and a widening digital divide, which demand inclusively designed policies. The shift to a digital economy necessitates the establishment of foundational digital infrastructure and capabilities. This includes robust digital identity systems, effective data governance, seamless digital payments, and efficient data exchange mechanisms. A secure, universal digital identity system, building on Nadra’s existing framework, is critical for broad service access and participation in digital commerce. Reliable consent mechanisms must empower citizens to control their data usage, thereby building essential trust in digital interactions. Interoperable, real-time digital payment systems are also essential for fostering e-commerce, reducing cash dependency, and lowering transaction costs. Pakistan’s digital policy must be comprehensive, addressing the diverse needs of households, businesses, financial institutions, and government entities. Key policy objectives should include digitising the financial system to enhance transparency and credit access, especially for small and medium enterprises and unbanked populations. Launching nationwide digital literacy campaigns is crucial; without these, technological progress will remain inaccessible to many. Several sectors stand to gain significantly from digital transformation. In e-commerce, simplifying business registration, integrating payment systems, and enforcing consumer protection can dramatically boost online trade. In healthcare, for instance, telemedicine, digital health records, and artificial intelligence-assisted diagnostics can extend quality healthcare to underserved regions. Agriculture is another lucrative area that can leverage real-time weather updates, efficient market price discovery, and advisory services delivered via mobile platforms. And let’s not forget education; systemic disparities can be addressed by utilising information and communication technology-based solutions for e-learning and teacher training. Even governance can take advantage of the improved efficiency offered by similar solutions that can help reduce corruption, lower public sector expenses, and deliver services transparently and responsively. That said, transitioning from vision to execution is easier said than done. The effort requires digitising existing governmental and institutional processes, fostering innovation-driven growth, and cultivating strong digital leadership and agile governance. Digital diplomacy will also be vital, as engaging with global technology forums can attract investment, shape international standards, and facilitate knowledge exchange. Generally, a balanced approach combining demand-side incentives (like consumer subsidies and awareness campaigns) with supply-side reforms (such as infrastructure investment and regulatory modernisation) is essential. Moreover, several other significant challenges remain. Many of Pakistan’s current digital initiatives are fragmented across ministries, provinces, and institutions, leading to inefficiencies due to inconsistent policies, technical standards, and implementation frameworks. To address this, a centralised, coordinated digital policy, supported by a high-level institutional body, like the National Digital Commission and related bodies, is critical. This policy must offer a unified vision, a clear roadmap, measurable performance indicators, and effective accountability mechanisms. It must also align digital strategies with broader macroeconomic planning and integrate ESG goals throughout implementation. Ultimately, Pakistan’s transition to a digital economy is more than just technological advancement; it signifies a profound social, governance, and economic transformation. This shift aims to create a more inclusive, efficient, and future-ready nation, which necessitates coordinated efforts across all sectors, proactive policy implementation, and active collaboration among government, the private sector, and civil society. By harnessing its incredible human capital, investing in foundational digital infrastructure, and championing inclusive innovation, Pakistan can emerge as a dynamic and influential participant in the global digital landscape.

AI-powered chatbots have started showing up in writing, planning, coding, and research tasks across every kind of workspace. People are using them to outline reports, summarize documents, make to-do lists, and even troubleshoot code. But what most users eventually realize is that typing a vague request into the prompt box often leads to disappointing results. The issue isn't just with the chatbot’s limitations. It’s also with the way the request is written. Chatbots, even the most advanced ones, don’t guess well. They depend entirely on the information they’re given in that moment. That’s why knowing how to write a clear, structured, and thoughtful prompt can make the difference between something useful and something you have to redo from scratch. Here’s a breakdown of how to get the most out of chatbots like ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and others, without needing to memorize any technical jargon or follow rigid templates. Begin with a Clear, Simple Goal in Your Mind Before typing anything, think through what you actually want the chatbot to produce. Do you need a short summary or a full article? Are you looking for step-by-step instructions, or do you just want ideas to build from? These differences matter more than most people expect. A chatbot doesn’t know your purpose unless you explain it. Even a small clue may lead you quickly to the answers you need. It helps to take thirty seconds and sketch out your thoughts in a few quick notes. Once you know the format and the intended use of the response, you can steer the chatbot more clearly toward that goal. Explain the Task Like You’re Talking to a New Assistant Imagine explaining a task to someone who’s bright but unfamiliar with how you work. That’s roughly how you want to speak to a chatbot. They don’t have memory of past interactions (unless you’re using advanced setups), and they don’t know your personal preferences, writing tone, or goals unless you include them in your request. Also read: Trust Gaps Remain: Everyday Scenarios Where AI Chatbots Struggle to Deliver If you’re asking it to write something, tell it who the audience is. If you need data sorted or rephrased, give context for why. If you want it written in a certain style or format, say so clearly. Otherwise, the response might be technically correct but stylistically off. Use Lists to Lay Out What You Want Sometimes, long paragraphs full of instructions tend to confuse chatbots. They might miss steps or misinterpret something halfway through. To avoid that, try laying out your instructions as bullet points or a simple numbered list. That creates structure, and structure helps the AI organize its response. Think of it like handing someone a checklist instead of a paragraph. You’re not dumbing it down, you’re reducing the chance of error. Add Examples When You Can One of the most effective tools for better prompting is to include a short example of what you want. If you’re asking for a tone, a format, or a structure, giving a sample makes your expectations much clearer. This approach doesn’t require perfect examples. Even rough sketches help the chatbot latch onto patterns. That could mean showing one version of a response, a headline style you like, or even a few phrases that capture your preferred tone. You don’t have to give many, just one or two is often enough. Give the System Time to Think Things Through Sometimes users rush the system by expecting final answers right away. For more complex tasks, a better way is to ask the chatbot to reason through each part step-by-step. This means breaking things down into small phases. If you're solving a problem, planning something complex, or evaluating options, ask the chatbot to write out its thinking process first. That structure helps the AI clarify its own logic before giving a final answer. It might not sound intuitive, but this step-by-step flow often leads to better outcomes. Assign a Role to Guide the Tone and Depth If you're not happy with how a chatbot answers, try giving it a role to play. This doesn’t mean pretending, it means giving it a working perspective. Asking it to write like a teacher, financial advisor, editor, or consultant often improves the tone and structure. Roles give the chatbot an anchor to guide how it responds. If you want short, fast, clear answers, try assigning the role of a help desk agent or journalist. If you need deeper analysis, try a role like researcher or strategist. The shift can be surprisingly effective. Let It Say "I Don’t Know" When Needed Chatbots are more confident than accurate. If a question has no clear answer, the system might still generate something that sounds convincing but isn’t based on real information. That’s why it helps to give the AI permission to admit uncertainty. You can add something like, “If you’re unsure, say so,” at the end of your prompt. This helps reduce the chance of made-up answers. You can also ask it to find a source or confirm claims before including them in its final reply. If it can’t confirm something, you can ask it to leave that part out. Refining Prompts Is Normal, Don’t Expect Perfection on the First Try Even a great prompt won’t always get you the exact result you had in mind. Sometimes the wording feels off. Other times the structure isn’t quite right. That’s normal. Most people revise their prompts once or twice before the result hits the mark. You can treat your first prompt as a draft. After seeing what the chatbot returns, adjust your instructions to be clearer or more focused. This trial-and-error process doesn’t mean your prompt failed. It means you’re shaping the interaction more deliberately. As explained by Google : "Prompting is a skill we can all learn. You will likely need to try a few different approaches for your prompt if you don’t get your desired outcome." Strong Prompts Make AI Tools More Useful, Not Smarter A well-written prompt won’t make a chatbot more intelligent, but it will make the output more aligned with your needs. Think of prompting as a form of teaching. You’re showing the AI how to respond within your context. The clearer your directions, the better the results. For people who use AI tools often, whether for writing, planning, coding, or organizing, prompting becomes less about clever tricks and more about communication. And like any skill, it gets better with practice. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools. Image: DIW-Aigen. Read next: The Overlooked Flaws of ChatGPT: The Hidden Costs Behind the Hype

SEOUL: Samsung Electronics has signed a deal to supply chips to Tesla Inc, two people briefed about the matter told Reuters on Monday, in a significant boost to the South Korean tech giant’s loss-making contract manufacturing business. On Saturday, Samsung announced a $16.5 billion chip supply deal with a major global company, without naming the client. It said the customer had requested confidentiality about the details of the deal, which will run through the end of 2033. The deal comes as Samsung faces mounting pressure in the race to produce artificial intelligence chips, where it trails rivals such as TSMC and SK Hynix. This lag has weighed heavily on its profits and share price. Samsung, the world’s top memory chip maker, also makes logic chips designed by customers through its foundry business. Pak Yuak, an analyst at Kiwoom Securities, said the latest deal would help reduce losses at Samsung’s foundry business, which he estimated exceeded more than 5 trillion won ($3.63 billion) in the first half of the year. Analysts say Samsung had struggled with the defection of key clients to TSMC for advanced chips. TSMC counts Apple, Nvidia and Qualcomm among its customers. The deal with Tesla comes as South Korea is seeking U.S. partnerships in chips and shipbuilding amid last-ditch efforts to reach a trade deal to eliminate or cut potential 25% U.S. tariffs. It is not clear how the order would affect Samsung’s plan to start production at its new factory in Texas, which has been delayed as it had struggled to win major customers. Samsung is grappling to boost production yields of its latest 2-nanometer technology, and the order is unlikely to involve the cutting-edge tech, Lee Min-hee, an analyst at BNK Investment & Securities, said. Samsung has been losing market share to TSMC in contract manufacturing, underscoring technological challenges the firm faces in mastering advanced chip manufacturing to attract clients like Apple and Nvidia, analysts said.

AI tools are appearing in nearly every corner of daily life. Phones, apps, search engines, and even drive-throughs have started embedding some form of automation. What used to be a straightforward browser is now bundled with built-in assistants that try to answer questions, summarize tasks, and streamline routines. But these conveniences come at a growing cost: your data. The requests for access from AI apps have grown broader and more aggressive. Where once people questioned why a flashlight app needed their location or contacts, similar requests are now made under the banner of productivity. Only now, the data these apps ask for cuts far deeper. One recent case involved a web browser called Comet, developed by Perplexity. It includes an AI system designed to handle tasks like reading calendar entries or drafting emails. To do that, it asks users to connect their Google account. But the l ist of permissions it seeks goes far beyond what many would expect . It asks for the ability to manage email drafts, send messages, download contact lists, and view or edit every event across calendars. In some cases, it even tries to access entire employee directories from workplace accounts. Perplexity claims that this data remains on a user’s device, but the terms still hand over a wide range of control. The fine print often includes the right to use this information to improve their AI systems. That benefit flows back to the company, not necessarily to the person who shared their data in the first place. Other apps are following similar patterns . Some record voice calls or meetings for transcription. Others need access to real-time calendars, contacts, and messaging apps. Meta has also tested features that sift through a phone’s camera roll, including photos that haven’t been shared. Also read: Google’s Gemini Tops List of AI Chatbots Collecting the Most User Data The permissions these tools request aren't always obvious, yet once granted, the decision is hard to reverse. From a single tap, an assistant can view years of emails, messages, calendar entries, and contact history. All of that gets absorbed into a system designed to learn from what it sees. Security experts have flagged this trend as a risk. Some liken it to giving a stranger keys to your entire life, hoping they won’t open the wrong door. There’s also the issue of reliability. AI tools still make mistakes, sometimes guessing wrong or inventing details to fill in gaps. And when that happens, the companies behind the technology often scan user prompts to understand what went wrong, putting even private interactions under review. Some AI products even act on behalf of users. That means the app could open web pages, fill in saved passwords, access credit card info, and use the browser history. It might also mark dates on a calendar or send a booking to someone in your contact list. Each of these actions requires trust, both in the technology and the company behind it. Even when companies promise that your personal data stays on the device, the reality is more complicated, as highlighted by u/robogame_dev or Reddit . Most people assume this means photos, messages, or location logs remain untouched. But what often slips under the radar is how that raw information gets transformed into something else, something just as personal. Also read: Privacy laws lag behind AI use; emotional support via chatbots remains legally vulnerable with no guaranteed confidentiality. Modern AI tools extract condensed representations from your data. These might look like numerical vectors, interest segments, or hashed signals. While the raw voice clip or image may stay local, the fingerprint it generates, a voice embedding, a cohort ID, or a face vector, often gets sent back to the server. These compact data points can still identify you or be linked with other datasets across apps, devices, and even companies. Over time, that creates a shadow profile. It doesn’t need your full browsing history or photo albums to be useful. A few attributes, like the categories of content you read, the way you speak, or your heart rate trends, can reveal more than expected. Advertisers, insurers, or third-party brokers may use this information to shape pricing, predict preferences, or infer sensitive traits. So while on-device processing helps limit exposure, it doesn’t erase the risk. Much like measuring your face without keeping the photo, what gets extracted and exported can still follow you around the digital world. If an app/tool asks for too much, it may be worth stepping back. The logic is simple: just because a tool can help with a task doesn’t mean it should get full access to your digital life. Think about the trade. What you’re getting is usually convenience. What you’re giving up is your data, your habits, and sometimes, control. When everyday tools become entry points for deep data collection, it's important to pause and ask whether the exchange feels fair. As more of these apps blur the line between helpful and invasive, users may need to draw that line themselves. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools. Image: DIW-Aigen.

Cannes Lions this year has marked an important shift in the discourse of AI adaptation in marketing: no longer just promises, but actual implementation and performance. A common perception across multiple panels, or even brand showcases regarding this new integration, is that there should be no separation between generative AI and a creative and strategic approach. From efficient content creation to personalizing campaigns at a large scale, the AI tech is clearly helping marketers achieve unprecedented productivity. But do they really know in-depth about their tools? What will be the next development of AI? And are they ready to face this new wave? To answer these questions, Outcomes Rocket has conducted a comprehensive survey to understand the current situation in the field of marketing under this new wave of AI. From different industries, in different roles and organization sizes, 1,299 marketers have participated and expressed their perspective. The findings showed that marketers’ daily work has been assisted with generative AI massively; however, only a third of them have exposure to other forms of AI, such as agentic AI. The survey not only revealed positive angles of this adoption but also fear among newcomers in terms of job security in this field within the next two or three years. Widespread AI Adoption in Marketing The data showed that almost all of the participants (89.5%) use AI in their work. This is true cross-industry no matter what the job level or the size of the organizations, especially small businesses that do not have a large budget for marketing but need to compete with other big corporations. Generative AI is dominating the AI market in marketing, with 93.5% of marketers utilizing the tools for content creation, including blog posts, advertisement copy, social media content, and other creative brainstorming purposes. Standing at the top of the list is ChatGPT, with 94.8% of users choosing it as their main platform. This result is expected due to its ease of use, versatility, real-time interaction, and the ability to generate output across a wide range of formats and tones. The biggest differentiator for ChatGPT is that OpenAI was the first mover in the game, allowing this tool to be tested and experimented with by the public before any other competitor rolled out their own. As a result, ChatGPT will always be mentioned in any AI conversation, so naturally, it became the first pick for many users when it comes to generative AI. Early Stage but Growing Interest in Agentic AI However, generative AI is not the only answer to marketing. Agentic AI could be the answer to a fully autonomous AI solution. This single tool is capable of running a complete marketing campaign with minimum human interaction, from developing strategy, segmenting the audience, to creating content and distributing across channels, and even analyzing performance. This model will analyze historical data, competitor trends to determine which action is most suitable to take. It could be a new campaign, a new ad strategy, or an entire test of A/B testing. Unlike the traditional automation method, agentic AI learn from its results to produce the most optimal course of action.

The current atmosphere around this tool is mostly reserved or unfamiliar. However, this is not a bad indicator; instead, it shows that agentic AI has promising growth and could be transformative to the entire field in the next 12 to 24 months. Once more, marketers and organizations have experimented with this model, and agentic AI can surely become the top contender in marketing technology. Trust Issues and Training Gaps in AI Use Accuracy has always been the top concern for every AI model that has been introduced, and application in marketing is not an exception. Over 93% of marketers experience the common problems with AI-generated content: inaccuracy, bias, or irrelevancy. Therefore, around 70% spend a lot of time revising or proofreading the output before publishing. It could be surprising that with such a high frequency of working alongside AI, only 42% of them are confident in spotting AI-generated content. Lack of official guidance and education could be the explanation. The survey revealed that 80% of participants did not have any formal AI training from their company. Not only does this figure demonstrate the lack of preparedness in the workforce, but it also sheds light on the inefficiency of the integration process of a new tool. Job Security Concerns Are Rising The survey also explored the sentiment towards the effects of AI regarding employment, which turned out to be quite negative. The pressure is present and high, with nearly 89% of marketers believing that AI will result in job losses in the next two or three years. The statistics indicate that one-third of marketing activities will potentially become automated shortly, and junior positions are the most likely to be impacted. Automation will mostly target routine or repetitive work, which is the main responsibility of junior positions. Therefore, these fears among the less experienced marketers concerning long-term career security are truly reasonable and expected. While most of them believe AI will take over lots of marketing roles, the advantages of using AI are undeniable, with 63% of participants viewing AI as a helpful assistant rather than a potential substitute. Their perception focuses on applying AI to boost overall productivity, reduce their time on routine work, which allows more time on creative tasks or strategy. On the other hand, a rather small percentage of participants (16%) believe that AI will take away all the marketing jobs. Although the concern for job security is high, the vast majority of them (over 70%) have not experienced any direct impact from these AI-driven threats. Looking at the big picture, advocacy for AI is stronger, suggesting a new transformation in the field for the better and not necessarily a takeover by AI. Future Outlook: Continued Growth and Investment Despite the undeniable ambivalence regarding marketing job security with this high rate of AI adoption, marketers are still open and eager to take the full advantage of this new technology. Overall, the feeling regarding the possibilities that AI has to offer is very positive. Almost eight out of ten marketers believe that generative AI will be the largest game-changer shortly and will bring significant change in creating content, engaging audiences, and developing campaigns. In addition to content creation, predictive analytics and hyper-personalization are gaining rapid attention. Over 50% of the respondents believe that these data-powered tools will be used more often in the future to get a closer look at customer behavior, thus allowing the team to create highly personalized experiences. In the meantime, 41.7% of marketers believe their institutions will invest more in AI tools and technologies within the coming year. Such an investment is evidence of the transformative power of AI. Investors are willing to bet their money on it, in the hope that AI will lead to growth and innovation. Read next: Financial Cybercrime Risks Vary Sharply Across U.S. States, Report Finds
The United States space agency Nasa will lose about 3,900 employees under President Donald Trump’s sweeping effort to trim the federal workforce, at the same time as he prioritises plans for crewed missions to the Moon and Mars . In an emailed statement, Nasa said around 3,000 employees took part in the second round of its deferred resignation programme, which closed late on Friday. Combined with the 870 who joined the first round and regular staff departures, the agency’s civil servant workforce is set to drop from more than 18,000 before Trump took office in January to roughly 14,000 — a decrease of more than 20 per cent. Those leaving Nasa on the deferred resignation programme will be placed on administrative leave until an agreed departure date. An agency spokesperson said the figures could shift slightly in the coming weeks. “Safety remains a top priority for our agency as we balance the need to become a more streamlined and more efficient organisation and work to ensure we remain fully capable of pursuing a golden era of exploration and innovation, including to the Moon and Mars,” the agency said. Earlier this year, the Trump administration’s proposed Nasa budget put a return to the Moon and a journey to Mars front and centre, slashing science and climate programmes. The White House says it wants to focus on “beating China back to the Moon and putting the first human on Mars”. China is aiming for its first crewed lunar landing by 2030, while the US programme, called Artemis, has faced repeated delays. Nasa is still run by an acting administrator after the administration’s initial pick to lead the agency, tech billionaire Jared Isaacman — endorsed by former Trump adviser Elon Musk — was ultimately rejected by the Republican president.

SHANGHAI: China said on Saturday it wanted to create an organisation to foster global cooperation on artificial intelligence, positioning itself as an alternative to the U.S. as the two vie for influence over the transformative technology. China wants to help coordinate global efforts to regulate fast-evolving AI technology and share the country’s advances, Premier Li Qiang told the annual World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai. President Donald Trump’s administration on Wednesday released an AI blueprint aiming to vastly expand U.S. AI exports to allies in a bid to maintain the American edge over China in the critical technology. Li did not name the United States but appeared to refer to Washington’s efforts to stymie China’s advances in AI, warning that the technology risked becoming the “exclusive game” of a few countries and companies. China wants AI to be openly shared and for all countries and companies to have equal rights to use it, Li said, adding thatBeijing was willing to share its development experience and products with other countries, particularly the “Global South”. The Global South refers to developing, emerging or lower-income countries, mostly in the southern hemisphere. How to regulate AI’s growing risks was another concern, Li said, adding that bottlenecks included an insufficient supply of AI chips and restrictions on talent exchange. Nvidia’s Huang hails Chinese AI models as ‘world class’ “Overall global AI governance is still fragmented. Countries have great differences particularly in terms of areas such as regulatory concepts, institutional rules,” he said. “We should strengthen coordination to form a global AI governance framework that has broad consensus as soon as possible.” Shanghai headquarters The three-day Shanghai conference brings together industry leaders and policymakers at a time of escalating technological competition between China and the United States - the world’s two largest economies - with AI emerging as a key battleground. Washington has imposed export restrictions on advanced technology to China, including the most high-end AI chips made by companies such as Nvidia and chipmaking equipment, citing concerns that the technology could enhance China’s military capabilities. Despite these restrictions, China has continued making AI breakthroughs that have drawn close scrutiny from U.S. officials. China’s Vice Foreign Minister Ma Zhaoxu told a roundtable of representatives from over 30 countries, including Russia, South Africa, Qatar, South Korea and Germany, that China wanted the organisation to promote pragmatic cooperation in AI and was considering putting its headquarters in Shanghai. The foreign ministry released online an action plan for global AI governance, inviting governments, international organisations, enterprises and research institutions to work together and promote international exchanges including through a cross-border open source community. The government-sponsored AI conference typically attracts major industry players, government officials, researchers and investors. Saturday’s speakers included Anne Bouverot, the French president’s special envoy for AI, computer scientist Geoffrey Hinton, known as “the Godfather of AI”, and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Tesla CEO Elon Musk, who has in past years regularly appeared at the opening ceremony in person or by video, did not speak this year. Besides forums, the conference features exhibitions where companies demonstrate their latest innovations. This year, more than 800 companies are participating, showcasing more than 3,000 high-tech products, 40 large language models, 50 AI-powered devices and 60 intelligent robots, according to organisers. The exhibition features predominantly Chinese companies, including tech giants Huawei and Alibaba and startups such as humanoid robot maker Unitree. Western participants include Tesla, Alphabet and Amazon.

A recent test, conducted by Aleyda Solís , shows that ChatGPT sometimes references information from Google Search when Bing results are missing or delayed. The test involved creating a new webpage that wasn’t yet indexed. When ChatGPT’s browsing tool was asked about it, the system couldn’t find the page. It returned a message saying the content might be outdated or unavailable. Google Gemini, on the other hand, accessed and summarized the page without issue. The webpage was then submitted for indexing in both Google and Microsoft Bing. Google processed it successfully. Bing didn’t. Hours later, the page appeared in Google’s results. It still wasn’t visible in Bing. Around the same time, ChatGPT began referencing a short portion of the page. When asked about the source, it responded that the snippet came from web search. The wording matched the exact snippet shown in Google’s result. The page never appeared in Bing’s listings during this period. The match with Google’s content suggests ChatGPT may rely on Google’s preview data when Bing doesn’t return anything. Other examples online point to the same pattern. In those cases, ChatGPT returned summaries that matched Google’s search preview instead of Bing’s. Some developers reviewing technical logs also noticed that ChatGPT sends requests through Bing by default, but may still end up using content that only appears on Google. This behavior suggests fallback logic. If Bing doesn’t return usable results, ChatGPT appears to use visible Google search snippets to fill in missing details. There’s no official explanation of this process. The test also highlights how traditional search indexing remains relevant for AI search tools. If a page isn’t available on Bing search, but is visible in Google, ChatGPT may still use the Google snippet. How exactly it accesses that content isn’t clear. It may involve cached pages or proxy connections that aren’t disclosed. Whether or not ChatGPT tries to crawl the original page directly wasn’t confirmed in the test. Web server logs might reveal that information, but no access records were checked. The outcome shows that Google’s search previews can affect what ChatGPT reports, especially when Bing isn’t up to date. This may continue to affect how information appears in AI-assisted tools until Bing improves its indexing. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools. Image: DIW-Aigen.

New rules aimed at keeping children away from harmful online material have taken effect in the United Kingdom. The measures apply to websites and apps that display content involving pornography, violence, or subjects like suicide, self-harm, or eating disorders. Companies operating these services are now required to check users’ ages through approved methods such as credit card verification or facial image analysis. The law assigns enforcement responsibilities to the country’s media regulator. Platforms that don’t follow the rules may face fines of up to £18 million or 10% of global revenue, depending on which amount is higher. If companies ignore official information requests, senior managers may face legal consequences. The requirement follows the 2023 Online Safety Act, which outlined duties for digital platforms to reduce harm for both children and adults. After a preparation period, the enforcement phase has started. Regulators have confirmed that thousands of adult websites are now using age checks. Social media platforms are being monitored for compliance with the same standards. Also read: Sam Altman Sees Short Video Apps, Not AI, as Bigger Threat to Kids' Minds Recent findings from the regulator show that about half a million children between the ages of eight and fourteen viewed online pornography in the last month. The figures have drawn concern from child protection groups and public officials. The changes are intended to reduce the chances of similar exposure going forward. While some gaps in enforcement remain, the introduction of mandatory checks is seen as a shift toward a more controlled online environment for minors. The aim is to create fewer pathways for children to reach dangerous or inappropriate content. Additional measures are being considered. Officials have mentioned the possibility of setting time limits for how long children can spend on social apps each day. Any future changes will be introduced through separate decisions or legislative updates. Digital platforms are now expected to meet technical and procedural requirements to show they are protecting young users. Oversight will continue as the regulator reviews how well the new rules are being followed. Notes: This post was edited/created using GenAI tools. Image: DIW-Aigen.
