Concerns over the 73-year-old's health have grown louder in recent months. His family claims he has lost most of his vision in his right eye after prison authorities failed to take action. The cricket star-turned-politician, who faces charges in more than 100 cases, was jailed for 14 years over corruption last year. Khan said all the cases against him are politically motivated.

Nur Aisyah, a 30-year-old civil servant, has spent the past couple of years looking for a partner, with little to show for it. Nur rarely meets men through work or her hobbies and finds dating apps such as Tinder and Bumble "terrible", with potential suitors either putting scant effort into their profile or struggling to hold a conversation over text. "I feel slightly pessimistic about the future as a whole," Nur, who asked to use a pseudonym, told Al Jazeera. So when Singapore's technology agency GovTech recently rolled out FirstDate, a dating platform for public servants that uses a Nobel-winning algorithm, Nur signed up out of curiosity "It's more of the mindset of'Why not?'" she said. "It makes quite a funny story if something did come out of this."

Artificial intelligence (AI) is causing a surge in demand that is fueling inflationary pressure and long-term interest rates, with an impact that may affect the neutral rate of interest, according to Bank of Japan Deputy Gov. Shinichi Uchida. "First, it is a big positive demand shock, which has put upward pressure on the economy and prices. Second, it could affect the supply side, perhaps positively by raising productivity and enhancing capital stock accumulations, which might in turn affect R-star," Uchida said in a speech Monday. R-star is the rate of interest that neither stimulates nor restrains the economy before adding inflation. The neutral rate is essentially R-star plus inflation.

OpenAI's Altman says AI benefits warrant accepting some risks Sam Altman, CEO and co-founder of OpenAI says regarding AI, the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency. OpenAI CEO Sam Altman said the benefits of artificial intelligence justify accepting some risks and argued the technology should remain broadly accessible to the public. "We believe that the world should accept some bad things happening for the benefits of this technology and people having the agency," Altman said in an interview with Politico's technology-focused newsletter Decoded. Altman said there remained a fundamental difference in worldview between OpenAI and rival Anthropic on AI regulation, adding: "I think there's a lot of daylight." "I disagree, but I understand the perspective of people who are like, 'This technology is going to get so powerful, and it's so dangerous, that a single lab in San Francisco should have it and make sure nothing bad happens, and kind of figure out how to dole out the benefits,'" Altman said.
