Google is testing a new verification feature in search results to help users identify genuine businesses. “We regularly experiment with features that help shoppers identify trustworthy businesses online, and we are currently running a small experiment showing checkmarks next to certain businesses on Google,” said Molly Shaheen, a spokesperson for Google public affairs. Notably, the check marks disappear when users log into different Google accounts, indicating that the rollout is still limited. The new search feature appears to extend Google’s Brand Indicators for Message Identification (BIMI), which uses checkmarks in Gmail to signify verified senders.

The recent kidnapping of two Hindu citizens from Bhong serves as a stark reminder of the government’s failure to ensure the safety and security of all its citizens. This incident is not just deplorable; it is a glaring indictment of the state’s inability to uphold its primary responsibility—protecting its people. Security should not be a privilege; it is a fundamental right for everyone, regardless of their faith or financial status. The recent spate of kidnappings lays bare the grim reality that our government has consistently failed to protect its most vulnerable citizens. This is not merely an issue of law enforcement; it reflects a deep-seated failure to prioritise human life and dignity.

We young people also need public cultural services to pursue our interests and enrich our lives,” Wang said. China has actively worked to improve its system of public cultural services in recent years as a way of widening its basic services among more people. The July resolution of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on advancing modernization stipulates for improvement in the public cultural service system with a focus on delivering high-quality cultural resources to grassroots communities and enhancing the involvement of social entities in providing public cultural services. Notably, public cultural services should become “better quality, more efficient, fairer and sustainable,” said Li Guoxin, director of Peking University’s national center for modern public culture research.

Aerospace giant Embraer has revealed its bold vision for the future of air travel with a concept for the world’s first AI-powered passenger plane,eliminating the need for a human pilot. According to Embraer, AI would control the plane’s operations, completely replacing the role of a traditional pilot. Although the company has not committed to manufacturing the AI-powered jet, the concept was presented to inspire the aviation industry to explore the boundaries of what is possible in the near future. Commercial airlines and military aviation have already begun exploring AI-driven technologies, but the introduction of fully autonomous aircraft remains a significant technical challenge. Other aerospace companies are also exploring similar concepts, and many in the industry believe this technology could eventually take off, marking a new era in aviation.
