Now that Bethesda’s massive space RPG has been with us for a little while, some of you are already wondering if there will be any Starfield DLC or not. You can’t have seen and done everything yet, though, surely?

Artificial intelligence is being looked at in two ways globally. It is a great opportunity to boost productivity across the spectrum of human activity, but at the same time, this new tech has the potential to hurt humanity, and even cause its extinction. Caught in between are the developers who are actually working out the potential and how much they can milk it for profit. In this situation, a number of tech leaders have gathered in New Delhi to attend the B20 Summit India 2023 organised by CII.
Technology leaders have spoken at length on Friday and the gist of their speeches indicates that they think AI can enhance productivity, but they have urged policy-makers that the development of AI must happen in a responsible manner.
IBM Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Arvind Krishna said AI can free up people for more productive work and reduce cost for businesses.
The impact of AI on techies can be phenomenal. He said coding can be improved by about 60 per cent by using AI assistance.
"Inside IBM, we think about 20 per cent of the total activity, which we call lower order cognitive work, about 30 per cent of that can be easily made productive through AI. That frees up more people to do more value-added work. It's not that there aren't jobs. If you have productivity then you can access way more clients. You can provide things at a lower cost point," Krishna said.
"There are a bunch of activities under it, I call them more mundane, could be automated but are hard to do so. Whether it be about promoting people, whether it is about assessing people, those can begin to be done by AI. In our case we are doing 90 per cent of that through AI," Krishna said.
He said the actual invention of foundation models, large language models, and building together computer infrastructure do need people with those incredible skills.
Providing a glimpse into the ground reality, Krishna added, "We are happy to have them but we don't need everyone else".
Talking about India, Adobe, Chair and Chief Executive Officer Shantanu Narayen said with 46 per cent of the worldwide digital payments, billion people with Aadhaar card and 850 million smartphone and internet users, India presents a massive opportunity to be at the forefront of AI.
Narayen heaped fulsome praise on what India had achieved as a country in the tech field.
"I am a massive fan of digital infrastructure that India has built...it is infrastructure, it is skills, technology, innovation and entrepreneurship," Narayen told PTI.
Tata Sons Chairman N Chandrasekaran said India and many countries in Global South have problems providing access to services to their people.
"An estimated 300 million lack access to services like healthcare, education and sometime ago for banking. On the

Apple has introduced the latest iPhone 15 Pro, and it comes with a unique button on the side. This new button is called the "Action Button," and it can do different things depending on what you want. It's similar to a button you might find on the Apple Watch Ultra, which can help you perform a number of actions in a jiffy. This was a major upgrade that many fans have been waiting for a long time for Apple to implement.
Vampire Survivors' developer has been so preoccupied with its hit roguelike that it's not given much thought to what its next project will be.
Chandrayaan-3, the propulsion spacecraft, is soaring high above the Moon, and here's what it's up to. Chandrayaan-3 is India's third mission to explore the Moon. It was sent into space by the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) on August 23. The mission's main goal was to safely land the Vikram Lander and the Pragyan Rover, which it was carrying, on to the Moon's surface. Only three countries have accomplished this feat so far. This mission follows the Chandrayaan-2 mission, which unfortunately failed to land softly on the Moon nearly four years ago in September 2019. However, the spacecraft is still orbiting the Moon.
In a historic milestone for space exploration, India's Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved an unprecedented feat by successfully landing the uncrewed Vikram Lunar lander near the Moon's enigmatic South Pole. This groundbreaking achievement, executed by the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO), marked India as the first nation to touch down in this relatively unexplored lunar region. It also made it the fourth country globally to achieve a soft landing on the Moon.
While all the attention is being hogged by the iPhone 15 series and the iOS 17, there are some other notable products expected to be launched by Apple. Notably, the Apple 2023 event date, if you did not know it by now, is September 12, 2023 and one of the biggest product launches expected is that of the Apple Watch Series 9. The watch is likely to come up with a better heart rate monitor and a faster chip.
The most awaited Apple event 2023 is now just a few days away and the excitement of the fans keeps getting higher as prices and specs of these new smartphones are being leaked virtually on a daily basis. Rumours have it that the iPhone 15 models may be more expensive than their predecessors in the iPhone 14 series. Price hikes might come as a surprise for interested buyers, but this year's iPhone is bringing various new features that may also lure them into spending greater amounts of money. So, check out the leaked iPhone 15, iPhone 15 Plus, iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max prices below.
Years ago I met Charles Martinet at E3. We shot a quick video where I said “It’s a-you?” and he shrieked “It’s a-me!” in the voice. I was so taken aback that I said “Holy Sh*t!” – He immediately took me aside and asked me not to post the video, as it would be inappropriate for children. We ended up posting it anyway, with my swear bleeped out, and it was a cute, hopefully inoffensive bit of fun. But what I really took away from that moment is how much Charles Martinet cares about his fans. He wants to fill their hearts with hope and joy, and not whatever the opposite of those two things is. That may be why we still haven’t heard exactly why he’s no longer the voice of Mario in the games.
Season 1 of the animated adaptation of Invincible — the superhero comic written by The Walking Dead creator Robert Kirkman and illustrated by Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley — made a big splash when it landed on Prime Video in March 2021. The show’s big twists, unexpected depth, and shockingly graphic violence caught the attention of jaded superhero fans, who mined its big emotional moments for memes and buzzed about where the show might go next. (At least, if they hadn’t read the comic, which the show adapts faithfully in many respects.)
Voice actor Charles Martinet, who provided the voice of Mario, Luigi, Wario, Waluigi, and other iconic characters for decades, has spoken publicly about his new 'Mario Ambassador' role, and has revealed that he’s not entirely sure what it will consist of yet, either.
Mario Ambassador Charles Martinet is still unsure what his new role actually entails.
Charles Martinet has said that he doesn’t yet know what his new role of ‘Mario Ambassador’ entails.
