Dynatrace announces early access to its platform innovations
Dynatrace, the leading AI-powered observability platform, has announced early access for joint Google Cloud customers to its most recent platform innovations.
These innovations are powered by the Dynatrace Grail™ data lakehouse that retains context across all data types – including logs, metrics, traces, events, and more – to provide customers with precise, actionable answers.
As organisations embrace cloud-native environments to drive innovation and digital transformation, they must manage volumes of data at an unprecedented scale. Traditional tools struggle to provide real-time insights across these vast and complex data stores, leading to inefficiencies and siloed operations. Dynatrace Grail was developed to address these challenges by transforming complexity into an asset, enabling organisations to extract real-time, actionable intelligence from their data. It brings together observability, security, and business data, allowing businesses to swiftly derive insights, boost operational performance, and stay ahead in Google Cloud environments.
With real-time data processing and advanced automation, Grail also helps organizations improve efficiencies to make smarter, data-driven decisions that directly contribute to business growth and competitive advantage. Other key benefits include:
AI-Driven Precision: The combination of Davis® AI and Grail enables accurate, real-time insights for informed decision-making and faster issue resolution.

Google contributed Dh21.8 billion to UAE economy in 2024, says study
21 June 2025 12:16 A. SREENIVASA REDDY (ABU DHABI)Google's products and services contributed Dh21.8 billion to the UAE economy in 2024, according to a new study by Public First, a research economic impact, which amounts to over 1% of the UAE's GDP, underlines the growing role of digital platforms in shaping the country's non-oil to the latest official data, the UAE's GDP in 2024 stood at Dh1.776 trillion, with non-oil GDP accounting for Dh1.342 trillion. The study found that the contribution from Google's ecosystem — including Search, YouTube, Play Store, Cloud and Ads — flowed to businesses, developers, publishers, creators, and non-profits across the study found that 91% of UAE businesses have already integrated at least one AI tool into their workflows, and 87% of businesses view AI as a key economic opportunity. In terms of individual use, 78% of UAE adults reported using AI tools, with 30% using them 'regularly'. This is more than double the figure reported in the United States, where just 13% of adults say they use AI chatbots regularly.'This early embrace of technology reflects the UAE's strong digital infrastructure, pro-innovation policy environment, and a population that recognises AI as a powerful tool for progress,' the report noted. The UAE's national AI strategy is credited with helping position the country as a 'leading AI destination'.The research estimates that Google's products created Dh20 billion in consumer benefits in 2024, the equivalent of Dh683 per month per user. Much of this was driven by time saved, easier access to information, and tools that improve daily life.A remarkable 63% of adults in the UAE said they had used Gemini, Google's generative AI assistant, while 38% reported daily usage. Among them, 90% said Gemini made them more productive, and 71% found it easier to use in Arabic compared to other and Ads alone contributed Dh20.2 billion in business activity in 2024. Of this, Dh3.6 billion was generated by small and medium businesses (SMBs), with Dh394 million worth of goods and services exported using Google's tools. UAE businesses overall exported Dh2.2 billion globally using the same and the Play Store are also part of the value chain. In 2024, they generated Dh455 million in revenue for UAE-based developers and supported Dh418 million in exports. The wider app economy enabled the creation of 30,000 jobs in the country, contributing to the UAE's broader ambition of building a knowledge-based First's research also highlights the impact of upskilling initiatives. Since 2018, Google's Maharat Min Google programme has trained more than 430,000 individuals in the UAE in digital and professional skills. This training support is seen as essential in closing the AI readiness gap: 52% of adults acknowledged they are not currently using AI tools to their full potential, and 95% expressed interest in joining a Google-led skills report noted that 97% of public sector workers in the UAE believe AI-enabled tools from Google make them more productive, and 65% say their job would be harder without young adults aged 18 to 24, the reliance on Google tools is even stronger. Nearly three-quarters of Gemini users in this age group use it for 81% of Google Search users in the same demographic said their education would have been more difficult without it, while 62% said YouTube helped them learn new Maps and Waze also emerged as essential tools for UAE residents. The study found that 89% of adults found these apps useful to avoid getting lost, and 91% said they helped identify the fastest routes. Around 80% use the apps monthly to locate local businesses, and 86% rely on Google reviews before visiting a venue or shopping trends were also highlighted. Ninety-four percent of adults use Google Search at least once a month to compare prices, and 73% of 18–24-year-olds use it weekly for browsing and shopping study also projected the long-term economic potential of cybersecurity and AI. Enhanced cybersecurity capabilities — underpinned by platforms like Google Cloud — could help the UAE avoid at least $6.8 billion in cybercrime losses, create over 20,000 jobs, and attract up to $1.4 billion in cumulative foreign direct investment by the startup front, participants in the Google for Startups Accelerator in MENA have raised over Dh3.43 billion, with Dh337 million raised in the UAE alone. These startups have created more than 1,300 jobs regionally and are scaling across the Middle First estimates that AI tools could help increase productivity across the UAE by 15%, which is equivalent to freeing up 310 hours per worker per year for higher-value tasks. Google commissioned Public First to examine how its innovations and products are supporting UAE communities, workers and businesses, as well as the future potential of AI in the country. Public First conducted two surveys — one of 1,110 online adults and another of 389 business leaders, in both English and Arabic — in March 2025. Source: Aletihad - Abu Dhabi

Apple executives held internal talks about buying Perplexity: Reports
Apple executives have held internal talks about potentially bidding for artificial intelligence startup Perplexity, Bloomberg News reported on Friday, citing people with knowledge of the matter. The discussions are at an early stage and may not lead to an offer, the report said, adding that the tech behemoth's executives have not discussed a bid with Perplexity's management. "We have no knowledge of any current or future MA discussions involving Perplexity," Perplexity said in response to a Reuters' request for comment. Apple did not immediately respond to a Reuters' request for comment. Big tech companies are doubling down on investments to enhance AI capabilities and support growing demand for AI-powered services to maintain competitive leadership in the rapidly evolving tech landscape. Bloomberg News also reported on Friday that Meta Platforms tried to buy Perplexity earlier this year. Meta announced a $14.8 billion investment in Scale AI last week and hired Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang to lead its new superintelligence unit. Adrian Perica, Apple's head of mergers and acquisitions, has weighed the idea with services chief Eddy Cue and top AI decision-makers, as per the report. The iPhone maker reportedly plans to integrate AI-driven search capabilities, such as Perplexity AI, into its Safari browser, potentially moving away from its longstanding partnership with Alphabet's Google. Banning Google from paying companies to make it their default search engine is one of the remedies proposed by the US Department of Justice to break up its dominance in online search. While traditional search engines such as Google still dominate global market share, AI-powered search options including Perplexity and ChatGPT are gaining prominence and seeing rising user adoption, especially among younger generations. Perplexity recently completed a funding round that valued it at $14 billion, Bloomberg News reported. A deal close to that would be Apple's largest acquisition so far. The Nvidia-backed startup provides AI search tools that deliver information summaries to users, similar to OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini.
