The massive investment comes as India seeks to strengthen its position in the global artificial intelligence race. Adani projects this initiative will help create a $250 billion AI infrastructure ecosystem in India over the next decade, News.Az reports, citing Reuters.

According to the company, the project is expected to stimulate an additional $150 billion in spending across related industries including server manufacturing, sovereign cloud platforms, and other supporting sectors.
“The world is entering an Intelligence Revolution more profound than any previous Industrial Revolution,” said Gautam Adani, chairman of Adani Group, in a statement. “India will not be a mere consumer in the AI age. We will be the creators, the builders and the exporters of intelligence and we are proud to be able to participate in that future.”
The company stated its AI vision will build upon AdaniConnex’s existing 2 gigawatt national data center network and leverage its strategic partnership with Google.

According to a Bloomberg report on Tuesday, the tech giant is intensifying work on smart glasses, a wearable pendant, and AirPods with enhanced AI capabilities. These devices will be built around the Siri digital assistant, which will use visual context to perform actions, News.az reports, citing CNN.

All three products will reportedly connect to Apple’s iPhone and incorporate camera systems with different capabilities.
The AirPods and pendant are designed as more basic offerings, featuring lower-resolution cameras that will support AI functionality rather than capture photos or videos. The smart glasses are positioned as a premium product with more extensive features.

Ireland’s Data Protection Commission said it notified X on Monday that it was opening the inquiry under the 27-nation EU’s strict data privacy regulations, adding to the scrutiny X is facing in Europe and other parts of the world over Grok’s behavior, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
***
Grok sparked a global backlash last month after it started granting requests from X users to undress people with its AI image generation and editing capabilities, including putting females in transparent bikinis or revealing clothing. Researchers said some images appeared to include children. The company later introduced some restrictions on Grok, though authorities in Europe weren’t satisfied.
The Irish watchdog said its investigation focuses on the apparent creation and posting on X of “potentially harmful” nonconsensual intimate or sexualized images containing or involving personal data from Europeans, including children.
X did not respond to a request for comment.
Grok was built by Musk’s artificial intelligence company xAI and is available through X, where its responses to user requests are publicly visible.
The watchdog said the investigation will seek to determine whether X complied with the EU data privacy rules known as GDPR, or the General Data Protection Regulation. Under the rules, the Irish regulator takes the lead on enforcing the bloc’s privacy rules because X’s European headquarters is in Dublin. Violations can result in hefty fines.
The regulator “has been engaging” with X since media reports started circulating weeks earlier about “the alleged ability of X users to prompt the @Grok account on X to generate sexualized images of real people, including children,” Deputy Commissioner Graham Doyle said in a press statement.
Spain’s government has ordered prosecutors to investigate X, Meta and TikTok for alleged crimes related to the creation and proliferation of AI-generated child sex abuse material on their platforms, Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez said on Tuesday.
“These platforms are attacking the mental health, dignity and rights of our sons and daughters,” Sánchez wrote on X.
Spain announced earlier this month that it was pursuing a ban on access to social media platforms for under-16s.
Representatives from X, Meta and TikTok did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the Spanish probe.
Earlier this month, French prosecutors raided X’s Paris offices and summoned Musk for questioning. Meanwhile, the data privacy and media regulators in Britain, which has left the EU, have opened their own investigations into X.
The platform is already facing a separate EU investigation from Brussels over whether it has been complying with the bloc’s digital rulebook for protecting social media users that requires platforms to curb the spread of illegal content such as child sexual abuse material.

Amazon shares have dropped roughly 18% since February 2, as investors question the company’s artificial intelligence spending plans.
The sell-off began following Amazon’s fourth-quarter earnings report released earlier this month. The company announced it expects to spend $200 billion in capital expenditures this year, representing a nearly 60% increase from last year and exceeding Wall Street’s forecast by more than $50 billion.
Most of this spending will be directed toward AI-related initiatives, which require substantial infrastructure investments including data centers, chips, and networking equipment. Investors have expressed growing concern about large technology companies making substantial AI investments that could potentially reduce or eliminate free cash flows.
Amazon CEO Andy Jassy defended the massive expenditure during an analyst conference call, stating he is confident it will “yield strong returns on invested capital.”

The proposal, titled “Law for the Protection of Women’s Dignity and Public Safety in Public Spaces”, seeks to ban full-face Islamic coverings nationwide and impose fines of up to 600 euros on women who wear them. Repeat offences could carry penalties of up to 30,000 euros, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.

The draft bill would also introduce prison sentences of up to three years for anyone found guilty of coercing a woman into wearing the garments.
Critics argue that the legislation targets a tiny minority of Muslim women while fuelling anti-Muslim sentiment ahead of Spain’s 2027 general election.
Vox has framed the niqab and burqa as symbols of “subjugation” and claimed they pose a security threat, a rhetoric that civil rights advocates say echoes long-standing Islamophobic narratives in Europe.
The party is seeking backing from the centre-right People’s Party (PP), which has indicated willingness to cooperate. PP spokesperson Ester Muñoz said the two parties were working on issues that “unite them”.
However, the bill faces significant opposition and is unlikely to pass in its current form. The pro-independence Together for Catalonia party (Junts) has already said it will vote against the proposal.
Vox, founded in 2013, rose rapidly in Spanish politics on a platform centred on hardline nationalism and anti-immigration policies. The party has repeatedly been accused of promoting racist and Islamophobic discourse, though it lost ground in the 2023 general election.
Spain currently has no nationwide ban on religious face coverings. Attempts by municipalities in Catalonia to restrict the niqab and burqa in public buildings were challenged in court, and in 2013, Spain’s Supreme Court overturned a ban in the town of Lleida, ruling that it infringed religious freedom.
Across Europe, several governments have enacted similar restrictions on face coverings, measures widely criticised by human rights organisations as disproportionately targeting Muslim women.
Opponents of Vox’s proposal say the bill does little to advance women’s rights and instead instrumentalises feminist language to justify policies that marginalise Muslim communities.
