Artificial intelligence and a disturbing choice!
“Break Free” is the name of a song from the first musical album produced entirely by artificial intelligence. The album was programmed by musicians and technical experts with artificial intelligence being left to do the remainder of the creative task.At the same time, the well-known auction house Sotheby’s has displayed paintings that were painted entirely by artificial intelligence. The Tommy Hilfiger fashion house has used artificial intelligence to design clothes and others in the industry are expected to follow suit. In the field of architectural design, there is a revolution in the use of artificial intelligence that is minimizing the role of humans in the field.Creative fields have been influenced by artificial intelligence, and IBM believes that it will also have an impact on...

Artificial intelligence and a disturbing choice!

Haftar and Qatar’s moaning
Field Marshal Khalifa Haftar, who commands the Libyan National Army (LNA), has dominated the breaking news again after ordering his forces to march on capital Tripoli and drive out terrorist militias, takfirist organizations and criminal gangs and rid the country of their dominion, control and crimes. It is a delusion to think that Libyans have, over the last seven years, enjoyed peace and security at home or work. Their oil-rich country has become a safe haven for takfirists, rogue groups and mercenaries. Terrorism, corruption, nepotism and assassinations have spread while the number of militias and terrorist organizations has increased in addition to murders, robberies, kidnappings and acts of torturing to death. Undoubtedly, the majority of loyal Libyans support Haftar and his...

Sustaining the planet for future generations
In the digital age and present context of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR), we often hear about “big data” and the “Internet of Things (IOT),” which to some may sound highly technical and virtually digital. While Thailand is fully aware of the opportunities and challenges that come with modernity, we also seek an all-encompassing human dimension of inclusive development, particularly during our year as ASEAN Chair. This is why we came up with the theme “Advancing Partnership for Sustainability,” to promote the “Sustainability of Things (SOT),” which means sustainability in all dimensions.Sustainable development is an overarching concept that is directly related to SOT. However, the first aspect of sustainability that usually comes to the mind of the public is...

Saudi Arabia’s new faces of power
Saudi Arabia has an ambitious agenda and a strategic planning diplomacy that combines several uses of power resources to protect national interests and security. It is a strategy that emphasizes the need for a strong economy and military, as well as stresses investing in alliances and institutions to expand the influence and legitimacy of state actions.Nations fail because of weak governments, poor education systems, lack of resources, an ineffective system of laws and bad public services, which cause brain drain as people search for a better quality of life and more stable political conditions.However, a high-quality education sector is one of the important factors contributing to a country’s development. Saudi Arabia has witnessed a significant growth in academic institutions, as it...

Pakistanis celebrate National Day
Pakistanisall over the world recently celebrated Pakistan Day. On that day, Muslim leaders from the Indian subcontinent met in Lahore and adopted the resolution called the Lahore Resolution or the Pakistan Resolution, which ended all attempts to unite Muslims and Hindus in one front to demand independence from the British government. When the Indian National Congress started a movement called “Quit India,” Pakistan started a similar one with the slogan of “Divide and Quit India.”The Pakistan Repatriation Council (PRC) recently organized a symposium to mark the occasion. I was invited to deliver a speech in which I drew attention to the inception of the very idea of Pakistan. The idea of a separate nation for the Muslims of the subcontinent evolved through several phases that had...

The epitome of all evil
Syria, Iran and N. Korea are often thought of when the term the axis of evil comes up. The brutality or the nefarious designs of their regimes command headlines. But when another evil in our neighborhood does its dirty work in full view of the public, it barely draws a line or two on the back pages of media outlets. The silence is deafening.Since the Palestinian march against apartheid and oppression began just over a year ago, 215 Palestinian protestors have been callously murdered by Israeli forces, 43 of them children. More than 18,000 have been shot and maimed by Israeli soldiers and snipers and the numbers are rising. The Palestinians have been marching en masse in a peaceful protest to decry Israeli brutality against the lawful residents of the land. An additional 3,000 or more Gaza...

Erdogan’s third chance!
My Turkish friend was curious. It was spring, 2016, and I had just finished my TV interview about the improving relations between our countries, after a series of top official meetings and the establishment of a high committee to oversee bilateral projects and initiatives. My colleague wanted to know why Saudi Arabia had been so angry that since 2013 King Abdullah wouldn’t even talk to Mr. Erdogan. And why the change of heart now?I told him that I believed it had something to do with the latter’s support of Obama’s plan to destabilize the Arab world, using Muslim Brotherhood Qatari money and Turkish organization. Iran helped, too. The so-called “Arab Spring” has destroyed the fabric of many countries, and if it had not been for the awakening of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab...

Even numbers lie!
It has long been said that a picture was worth a thousand words, but with the evolution of the tools of technology and applications such as Photoshop, the reliability of images is highly suspect. The same appears to be the case with figures, data and statistics. It has been said that numbers do not lie, but today with the spread of the phenomenon of false news, numbers are also a matter of doubt and concern.I have a set of news stories backed by “numbers”. These stories cover very serious topics, but it is clear that the numbers involved mean that the stories can be seen from more than one angle. Various economists around the world have glorified the shale oil revolution and how it has made the United States a serious competitor in the international oil market and provided America with...

Should stores be closed during prayer time?
Al-YaumDr. Yehya Al-Samaan, assistant speaker of the Shoura Council, said that the Council is discussing a recommendation that stores in the Kingdom should not be closed during prayer time. This issue has been discussed extensively over the years and a final decision should be reached because the issue affects the daily life of the general public.I personally have written about this issue and have supported those who call for not closing stores during prayer time. I have my own reasons for taking this position and I, of course, realize that those opposed to this decision have their own reasons as well. But the final decision should be made based on logic and the greater good of society.However, I want to send this message to the members of the Shoura Council: closing a store during prayer...

Giving away something that isn’t yours
United States President Donald Trump recently issued a decree recognizing Israel’s right to annex the Golan Heights, which it seized from Syria during the war of aggression against three Arab states – Egypt, Jordan and Syria - in 1967. This is in flagrant violation of international laws as well as the resolutions of the United Nations Security Council and the General Assembly and all international laws and conventions that prohibit the occupation of the territories of others by force.Earlier, Trump recognized Jerusalem as the eternal capital of Israel in defiance of all international charters and laws, hurting the sentiments of Muslims who consider Jerusalem as the first Qibla in whose direction they once faced while offering their prayers. Jerusalem is a blessed holy land not only for...
