twitter articles will allow users to create long-form posts

After several recent updates, Twitter Blue subscribers can now tweet up to 25,000 characters, up from the standard 280-character limit. Now, controversial CEO Elon Musk has confirmed that the platform will soon add a new feature called Twitter Articles.

In a reply to a tweet noting the similarities to the promised Twitter Notes feature, Musk confirmed that Twitter Articles would be a way to post “long, complex articles with mixed media”, even suggesting that “you could publish a book if you want”.

This will allow users to post very long, complex articles with mixed media. You could publish a book if you want.

Twitter Articles will remain separate from the main timeline in a section where users can post long-form content articles without the typical character limitations. In addition, users will be able to embed photos, videos, and even other tweets within articles, with published activity showing up in the person’s Twitter profile.

Dubai has introduced the Dubai AI Seal, a certification designed to establish trust in artificial intelligence (AI) companies and solutions. This initiative, directed by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Deputy Prime Minister, aims to create a reliable network of AI providers which government entities and businesses can collaborate confidently.

Companies must now obtain the AI Seal to qualify for UAE or Dubai government contracts. The Dubai Centre for Artificial Intelligence (DCAI), which developed the certification, sees it as a competitive edge for companies looking to participate in key national projects. Once certified, businesses will be permitted to showcase the seal across their websites and marketing materials, signaling their credibility and dependability.

The evaluation process will consider six main criteria: the company’s services and operations, the number of employees specializing in AI, ongoing and future projects, as well as existing partnerships with public and private sector entities.

Khalfan Belhoul, CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation, which oversees the DCAI, commented on the initiative’s potential: “This initiative will help create powerful partnerships between the public and private sectors, locally, regionally, and globally. It will help drive new economic opportunities by leveraging AI to serve better the economy, society, and the future we aspire to”.

The initiative emphasizes AI’s role in driving economic growth, creating jobs, and strengthening collaboration between government bodies and technology firms.

All technology companies operating in Dubai and offering AI-related services or products are eligible to apply for the certification at no cost through the official website.
