The company dem a chatbot that can field questions and give answers via voice. And then exhale slowly. In the demonstration, the chatbot was asked to help someone prepare for a presentation by taking calming breaths. Oh, thats it how do you feel . I feel a lot better. Thank you so much. And to tell a bedtime story, even changing its tone from sing song to robotic. It also helped the user solve a math equation. Not solve it, exactly, but teach him how to solve it. Openai got out ahead of a few expected announcements, including one from google this week, microsoft next, and april in june.

Shes the Chief Marketing Officer at Software Provider infor. According to idc, by 2027, over 25 of all User Interactions and Enterprise Software will be generated by genai. Thats a profound shift that we can expect over the next few years. So when theyre looking to adopt ai, its both for, sort of, internalfunctions as well as external functions . Absolutely. We see that companies have to completely reinvigorate their business models. Another data point for you is that Enterprise Businesses will spend more on genai, from 40 billion in 2024, to over 151 billion by 2027, another stat from idc. Companies like Burton Snowboards they are a Global Fashion retailer and apparel provider and they really struggle with Supply Inventory and being able to anticipate customer demand.

Staying with china, European Companies appear to be seeing more challenges than opportunities. The latest survey by the eu Chamber Of Commerce in china found that over half of the respondents cited chinas economic slowdown as a top challenge for this year. And nearly 60 of Companies Named Regulatory Oversight as a challenge when operating in the country. Stefan bernhart, Vice President at eu Chamber Of Commerce in china, elaborated on its findings. First of all, the slowing growth in china, i think, thats a concern of all of us, and it comes along not only with the lower investor confidence, but also consumer confidence. And then, i think, we have on top of that some of the geopolitical concerns, but also the fierce competition that we are faced with here, especially by local competitors. And on top of all of that, we also see Market Access and regulatory barriers and, now that the economy is not doing so well, that weighs much heavier. So what measures, then, do you think need to be taken for european businesses to rethink their assessment of Doing Business in china . I think the most important thing would be very decisive and concrete action now to restore the confidence of both investors and consumers. Now, in order to do so, i think it would be important to stimulate the economy, to stimulate consumption, but more importantly, i think the Chinese Government should tackle the structural challenges, for example, the real estate prizes, but also the challenges from overcapacities that are a result of the industrial policies of china. And, as a european chamber, we would like to see also some very concrete and more measures to improve the business environment, for example by creating a level Playing Field in the services industries, orfor public procurement. Does china need European Investment . We have seen president xi visiting europe. Is this a reason for optimism . I think that face to face exchanges are very good and i think macron and von der leyen, they address all the concerns of the european businesses. Now, we see also much more willingness by Chinese Government officials to accommodate our concerns. Now its the time to walk the talk.

India has crossed the halfway mark of its two month long election, and in the next phase of polling, the politically sensitive city of ayodhya will be voting. The bbc� s Arunoday Mukharji reports. Ayodhya, where the devout descend to meet the divine. Believed to be the birthplace of hindu god ram, it is also where faith, politics and business converge. Earlier this year, the bjp delivered on its decades old promise, by building a ram temple here, worth 200 million. The temple replaced a i6th century mosque torn down by hindu mobs in 1992, sparking riots in which nearly 2,000 people died. The temple hailed by Prime Minister modi as a political milestone. Ayodhya has always been this old, Dusty Town In Northern India but, by building this temple, the Ruling Bharatiya Janata Party wants to pitch this as a world renowned Pilgrimmage Site on similar lines to the vatican and mecca. Less than 2km away, achal guptas 80 year old restaurant is seeing a spike in visitors. Translation business has gone up eight to ten times since the temple was built. We have had to expand our restaurant to cater to the rising number of visitors were sealing of late. The Modi Government is spending over 165 million to develop over 50 Tourism Projects at hindu pilgrimage sites. Among the many brands, tata groups taj hotels is also building several Properties Across spiritual destinations, including three new hotels in ayodhya. Potential has always been massive. You go to these places both in good times, in bad times, in Celebration Times and in mourning times. So i think there is a huge inplugs of people going into these places. Economic gains aside, politically speaking, experts say this is nothing but an attempt at reviving Hindu Nationalism by the bjp and its coming at a cost. India has what . Almost 18 to 20 of its population is minorities. If youre going to exclude this 20 , byjust constantly focusing entirely on 80 , you know the danger really is the destruction of our social fabric.
