India Eyes Tech Power; Philippines VP Eyes 2028 Run

The AI Impact Summit in Delhi kicked off this week with discussions on guiding the AI revolution, though the event was somewhat overshadowed by reports of Bill Gates' potential absence and logistical issues, according to BBC Technology. Meanwhile, Philippine Vice President Sara Duterte announced her intention to run for president in 2028, following in the footsteps of her father, ex-President Rodrigo Duterte, who is currently facing trial, as reported by Al Jazeera. In other news, the Mexican president is challenging the UK's decision to grant asylum to a woman accused of corruption, as detailed by The Guardian.

The AI summit brought together tech bosses, politicians, scientists, academics, and campaigners to discuss the future of artificial intelligence. Initial reports suggested that Microsoft founder Bill Gates would not be attending, but the Gates Foundation later confirmed his participation, according to BBC Technology. The summit faced challenges, including long queues and confusion for some delegates.

In the Philippines, Sara Duterte's announcement to run for president in 2028 follows her father's controversial tenure. "It took me 47 years to understand that my life was never meant to be only mine," she said, according to Al Jazeera. Her father, Rodrigo Duterte, is currently on trial at the International Criminal Court for crimes against humanity.

The Mexican government, as reported by The Guardian, is protesting the UK's decision to grant asylum to Karime Macías, the ex-wife of a former governor accused of embezzling nearly $5 million in public funds. Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum stated that a formal letter of complaint would be sent to UK officials. Macías is believed to be living in London.

In other news, Reddit is seeing a surge in users seeking human interaction, according to BBC Business. One user, Ines Tan, relies on the platform for advice and community. "It's a very empathetic place," she said of Reddit.

Also, defying global criticism, Israel proceeded with the de facto annexation of the West Bank, as reported by Al Jazeera.
