Pakistan gets almost all its oil and gas from the Middle East, where U.S. and Israeli bombing of Iran have caused crude prices to blow past $150 a barrel and tankers can’t get through the Strait of Hormuz. But it has one edge in the crisis: a rapid, recent shift to solar power.The country’s solar boom started in the wake of the Ukraine war, when Pakistan couldn’t afford to buy liquefied natural gas and that led to power outages. “It also led to soaring electricity bills,” says Rabia Babar, an energy market analyst at the Pakistan-based nonprofit Renewables First.Some power…

If you wake up before sunrise ready to start the day, you’re not alone—and in many ways, the modern world is designed for you. Schools start early. Meetings begin at 8 a.m. And showing up first is still seen as a sign of dedication. Research from the University of Washington confirms this “early riser bias”: employees who start early are rated as more conscientious and receive higher performance evaluations, even when they work the same hours as colleagues who start later. It sounds like an advantage—and it is. But for many early chronotypes, that same structure becomes a trap. Because…

Pop star Zara Larsson is the internet’s newest “it” girl. After a wave of viral hits, including her latest album’s title track, “Midnight Sun,” and her feature on PinkPantheress’s “Stateside” remix, the Swedish singer cemented herself as the next big thing in pop music.But fame doesn’t come without controversy, as Larsson learned when she revealed to her fan base that she uses generative AI.The discourse began when Larsson posted about watching AI-generated content on TikTok. She first reposted an image from the account Ai Fruit Stories, a page posting AI animations of—you guessed it—drama between anthropomorphic foods. Larsson then posted a…

Investor and Shark Tank personality Kevin O’Leary said CEOs who blindly pursue AI are “dead in the water”. But the winning formula, he said, is pairing AI with storytelling and critical thinking.  On Wednesday, in a post on X, O’Leary wrote: “In business, it’s about critical thinking and communication, period.” He shared the comment alongside a clip from a recent Fox News appearance, where he discussed the renewed relevance of liberal arts degrees in the age of artificial intelligence. Technical fields like computer science—once considered the safest bet for a stable, high-paying job—are increasingly on shaky ground. Rather than a…

If you tuned into the red carpet for the Academy Awards, you may have seen actress Julia Fox being interviewed by social media influencers Quen Blackwell and Jake Shane, who were at the awards show reporting for Vanity Fair.In a bit that completely misses the mark, Shane quipped several times about the “annoying” child character in If I Had Legs I’d Kick You, which earned Rose Byrne a nomination for best actress. After being asked by Shane repeatedly about the “annoying” kid in the movie, Fox politely and appropriately steers the conversation to the more important tenor of the movie:…

Good urbanism should transcend politics. Socialists and capitalists can walk the same neighborhood and agree it’s a pleasant place to live. They can each appreciate the tree canopy, the corner café with people spilling onto the sidewalk, the mix of ages on bikes and on foot, the architectural details of older buildings, and so on. Whether they arrive by bus, bicycle, or car, or on foot, people across the political spectrum want the same thing: places that work for everyday life. Places that feel safe, accessible, and appealing for young and old alike.  Unlikely alliances are forming around this shared…

Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own. Key Takeaways Most digital transformations fail before implementation starts because the strategic work necessary to ensure success is skipped. Companies waste millions of dollars buying the wrong AI tools because they make purchasing decisions without clearly defining the problem the tool should solve. Implementation is de-risked when it is aligned with real business needs and fails when it’s driven by putting technology ahead of process and strategy. If I had only 60 seconds to teach you to become an engineer, I would ensure you understand just one concept: how to solve any…
