India advocates democratisation of Artificial Intelligence: Ashwini Vaishnaw at Russia Forum
St Petersburg [Russia], June 19 (ANI): India on Thursday presented its vision for artificial intelligence at the St Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF) 2025, with Union Minister for Railways, Information and Broadcasting, and Electronics and IT, Ashwini Vaishnaw delivering a keynote address at a high-level session titled 'At the Forefront of Technology: The Future of AI & Global Competition.' Addressing a distinguished gathering of global delegates, including representatives from Central Asian countries, the minister outlined India's inclusive and transformative approach to AI. In his speech, Vaishnaw emphasized the need for the democratization of AI, underscoring India's commitment to making the technology accessible and beneficial to every citizen. 'Equity and accessibility are central to our AI vision,' he said, highlighting how India aims to ensure that AI's advantages reach across all sections of society, industries, and geographical regions. He elaborated on India's national AI strategy through the INDIAai Mission, which is grounded in the principles of ethical, transparent, and responsible innovation. The mission, he said, aligns closely with India's broader socio-economic goals, placing a strong emphasis on inclusive development and sustainability. A major focus of the minister's address was India's young, tech-savvy population. Vaishnaw highlighted how the country is strategically nurturing an AI-skilled workforce to fuel innovation and economic growth. This talent pool, he suggested, would play a pivotal role in positioning India as a leading global force in AI development and application. On the sidelines of the forum, Vaishnaw also held a bilateral meeting with Russia's Deputy Prime Minister, Alexei Overchuk. The two leaders discussed expanding collaboration in key sectors such as transport, connectivity, infrastructure development, and rare earth minerals--areas critical to both countries' strategic and technological futures. The minister's visit to SPIEF 2025 reinforced India's rising prominence as a technology-driven nation. By championing a human-centric and inclusive AI future, India is not only shaping the global discourse on artificial intelligence but also deepening its engagement with key international partners.

FBI Season 8: Release date speculation, cast and plot details – Everything we know so far
By Aman Shukla Published on June 12, 2025, 20:00 IST Last updated June 12, 2025, 17:11 IST The hit CBS crime drama FBI , created by Dick Wolf and Craig Turk, has captivated audiences with its intense storytelling and dynamic cast since its debut in 2018. With Season 7 wrapping up on May 20, 2025, fans are eagerly awaiting FBI Season 8 . Here's everything we know so far about the release date, cast, plot details, and more for the upcoming season of this beloved procedural series. FBI Season 8 Release Date Speculation While CBS has not yet confirmed the exact premiere date for FBI Season 8 , the show's consistent fall release schedule provides strong clues. Season 7 premiered on October 15, 2024, and previous seasons have typically launched between September and October. Based on this pattern, FBI Season 8 is expected to premiere in September or October 2025, likely in the third quarter of the year. FBI Season 8 Cast: Who's Returning and Who's Leaving? The FBI cast has seen some changes in Season 7, and these shifts will impact Season 8. Here's a look at the expected returning cast and notable departures: Returning Cast Members Missy Peregrym as Special Agent Maggie Bell, the team's de facto field leader, is expected to return. Zeeko Zaki as Special Agent Omar Adom 'OA' Zidan, Maggie's partner and a West Point graduate, will likely continue. Jeremy Sisto as Assistant Special Agent in Charge Jubal Valentine, a central figure in the fusion center, is set to return. Alana De La Garza as Special Agent in Charge Isobel Castille, whose fate was left uncertain in the Season 7 finale, is anticipated to return, pending resolution of her cliffhanger. John Boyd as Special Agent Stuart Scola, who navigated new partners in Season 7, is expected back. Emily Alabi as Special Agent Dani Rhodes, introduced as Scola's new partner in Season 7, may return, though her status as a series regular is unconfirmed. Cast Members Not Returning Katherine Renee Kane will not return as Special Agent Tiffany Wallace, having exited in the Season 7 premiere to pursue new creative endeavors. Lisette Olivera, who played Syd James, a Behavioral Analysis Unit agent and Scola's temporary partner, left after a few episodes in Season 7 and will not return for Season 8. FBI Season 8 Plot Details: What to Expect FBI Season 8 will likely continue its signature case-of-the-week format, blending episodic investigations with deeper personal arcs for the ensemble cast. The Season 7 finale, 'A New Day,' set up significant storylines that will carry into the next season. Here's what we can expect: Fallout from the Forefront Infiltration The Season 7 finale revealed that the extremist group Forefront had infiltrated the FBI's New York field office, leading to the deaths of nine agents, including Assistant Director in Charge Reynolds. Deputy Assistant Director Simon Keene was exposed as a mole working with Forefront, and Special Agent Isobel Castille collapsed after uncovering another potential traitor, leaving her fate uncertain. Season 8 will likely explore: The aftermath of the Forefront attack and the hunt for remaining moles within the FBI. Whether Isobel Castille survives and how her potential absence or return impacts team dynamics. Leadership changes, as the field office must fill vacant upper management roles. Personal Stakes for the Team The infiltration made the stakes deeply personal for agents like Jubal Valentine and Maggie Bell. Season 8 may delve into Jubal's struggles, given his 'sordid past' and suspicions cast on him in Season 7. Maggie and OA's partnership will likely remain a cornerstone, with their personal lives—such as Maggie's commitment to her team and OA's background as a former DEA agent—adding depth to their cases.

Spine-Tingling FBI Season 7 Finale Leaves [Spoiler]'s Life in Limbo
The following recap, by the very definition of the word 'recap,' contains spoilers from the Season 7 finale. FBI front man Zeeko Zaki had told us that the Season 7 finale was a 'very different' episode of the CBS procedural, and that it'd end with a 'cliffhanger' — and he told no lies.

The Voice Recap: Did Season 27's Finale Just Set the Stage for an Underdog to Come Out on Top? 'A New Day' opened with Jubal (Jeremy Sisto) meeting with a whistleblower named Kevin (Big Bang Theory vet/upcoming spinoff star Kevin Sussman) at a secret FBI intake facility (that I'm 90% sure was used as a consulate in The Night Agent Season 2). Alas, before Kevin could say much more than Forefront (the terrorist group Jubal dealt with at midseason) was planning an attack on the FBI office, Forefront operatives stormed the building, guns a-blazing. The cold open left us thinking that Jubal had been shot dead as well, but after the credits we saw that he'd only been wounded, and now was darting down the street to find some bandaging. After ducking into a bodega, Jubal found himself face to face with an FBI agent claiming to offer help, but she turned out to be a Forefront mole — meaning, they have cunningly infiltrated the bureau. Jubal got into a struggle with this agent, and wound up shooting her dead. Afterwards, he was grilled back at the office by ADIC Reynolds (Ben Shenkman), who had to wonder if Jubal himself had been leveraged into joining Forefront. We in turn were led to suspect that Reynolds was actually the sus one. Ill-fated whistleblower Kevin left behind a USB drive that led Jubal's team to discover that any bureau cell phones issued in the past month were at risk of being rigged with an explosive. Soon enough, booms were heard within the building. Isobel (Alana de la Garza) was meeting with/confronting Reynolds when his phone blew up in their faces. Maggie (Missy Peregrym) arrived at Reynolds' office immediately after, then hid around a corner when Reynolds' boss, Keane (hey, it's Campbell Scott!), showed up with an FBI agent to survey the damage. Eavesdropping, Maggie confirmed that Keane is leading the Forefront operation there at their office! Both Reynolds and Castille were reported dead to JOC, but — after an agonizing few minutes where we too were asked to mourn Isobel — we saw that the latter in fact had survived. A bruised, bloodied Isobel revealed herself to the team in a defunct subway station meet-up location, after Keane ordered JOC to turn in their guns and badges and disband. With Maggie confirming Keane's complicity, it was decided that the JOC gang — Taylor, Lim and Moran included! — would arm themselves best they could and lie in wait. An alive Isobel in turn revealed herself to Keane, pretended to want in on Forefront, and snitched on JOC's whereabouts to prove her disloyalty. Keane dispatched agents to take out JOC at the subway station, but they got picked off one by one by OA (Zaki), Scola (John Boyd) et al. Afterwards, Isobel showed up at the JOC office with police to arrest Keane, having 1) secretly recorded their meeting from earlier, and 2) secured testimony from his lead henchman. Some time later, Jubal rallied and cheered the troops back inside HQ, then turned the floor over to Isobel to relay her own kudos. But early into her speech, Isobel began repeating herself, then scrambling her words. She then paused, clearly addled, and collapsed to the floor. Maggie raced to Isobel's side and found no pulse, beckoning the others to call 911…. Want scoop on , or for any other TV show?
