In this episode, we unpack the global password breach that’s triggered fresh cybersecurity warnings for UAE companies, and how Google’s AI tools have added a massive $5.9 billion to the UAE economy in 2024 alone.

Plus — Europe’s big move against kids on social media, Huawei’s game-changing 5-minute charging battery that can take you 3,000km, and what’s really going on with the delayed launch of Apple’s AirPods Pro 3.

Meta just dropped a heads-up:

Conversations with their AI chatbot could be made public.

If you're chatting with Meta AI through Instagram, Messenger, or WhatsApp — assume it’s not fully private unless you turn off sharing settings.

We’re live in studio with Dr. Fareed Mahmoud Alameeri, Chief Strategy Officer at the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP), fresh off their recent win at Seamless Middle East 2025 — where SRTIP was honored as a leading research center in the region.

In this conversation, Dr. Alameeri shares what the award means to the team, how SRTIP is shaping the future of innovation across the UAE and the Arab world, and gives us a glimpse into the groundbreaking technologies and research being developed at the Park.

A powerful discussion on strategy, vision, and the future of tech-driven transformation.

In this special in-studio episode, we’re joined by Adham Elmosalamy — a computer science and engineering student at the American University of Sharjah who recently made global cybersecurity headlines. Adham uncovered a major vulnerability in PyCel, an open-source Python library used to process Excel files — a discovery so significant it was officially recognized in the global CVE database maintained by MITRE in the U.S.

Most people on that list are seasoned professionals or academic researchers. Adham? He’s still a student.

We dive into how he found the flaw, why it matters, and what it means for the future of cybersecurity.
