As universities race to integrate artificial intelligence into classrooms, research labs and administrative systems, a deeper transformation is quietly unfolding. The real challenge is no longer about adopting new tools, but about rethinking the very structure, purpose and future of the university in an AI-driven world. By Ravi Janardhan Universities across the world are rapidly introducing artificial intelligence into teaching, research and administration. By early 2026, more than 86% of students globally report using AI in their studies, often outpacing institutional policies and guidelines.

In a dramatic and unapologetic pivot, President Donald Trump is single-handedly attempting to dismantle the rules-based international order the United States itself constructed after World War II. Through unilateral military strikes, the direct abduction of foreign heads of state, aggressive territorial rhetoric, and the sidelining of longstanding alliances and global institutions, Trump is reshaping global power dynamics on his own terms—bypassing multilateral consensus, congressional oversight, and traditional diplomatic norms. Far from restoring American strength through restraint, these moves signal an era of naked unilateralism where Washington asserts dominance not as a guardian of shared rules, but as an unchallenged great…

However, they also frequently ignite debates about morality, censorship, gender representation, and the commercialization of cinema. The debate resurfaced recently with Sarke Chunar Teri Sarke, a dance number that went viral soon after release but also faced criticism for allegedly suggestive lyrics and visuals. To understand why such songs provoke strong reactions, it is necessary to examine the longer history of controversial item numbers in Bollywood. Nora Fatehi and Sanjay Dutt…

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the global information ecosystem. One of the most striking developments is the rise of AI-generated news presenters, often called synthetic anchors or digital avatars. These lifelike presenters can deliver news, analysis, and commentary without ever appearing in a physical studio. As platforms such as YouTube and X (Twitter) become flooded with automated video content produced using tools like Synthesia and HeyGen, journalists and researchers are beginning to examine the implications for media credibility, information warfare, and the future of public trust in digital news. By Muneshwar  Prasad The rapid development of artificial intelligence in the…

In modern conflicts, wars are fought as much through narratives, images, and digital manipulation as through missiles and military strikes. The confrontation between Iran and Israel illustrates how information warfare—ranging from propaganda and psychological operations to AI-generated misinformation and algorithm-driven amplification—has become a central tool of geopolitical competition. As rival narratives circulate across global media and social platforms, the struggle to control perception increasingly shapes how conflicts are understood, debated, and legitimized in the international arena.

Modern wars are no longer fought only with missiles, drones, and soldiers. They are also fought with algorithms and synthetic media. During the ongoing Iran war, artificial intelligence has emerged as a powerful tool for producing fake images, deepfake videos, and manipulated battlefield footage that spread rapidly across social media platforms. These AI-generated visuals blur the line between truth and fabrication, shaping public perception and turning the digital information space into a parallel battlefield.
