1 in 5 Singaporeans are overqualified for their jobs, according to a new MOM study Singapore workers are better educated than ever, but that doesn’t always translate into the jobs they take. A new Ministry of Manpower (MOM) study, released on Apr 14, finds that nearly one in five (19.4%) of resident workers held qualifications higher than what their jobs required in 2025, up from 16.3% in 2015. And most of them chose this path voluntarily, with about nine in 10 underemployed workers—equivalent to 17.7% of the resident workforce—saying they had done so by choice. Many were motivated by factors…

Microsoft Corp.’s push for artificial intelligence independence is gaining traction with today’s release of MAI-Image-2-Efficient, a lean and mean version of its flagship image generation model that debuted earlier this month. The new version is meant to deliver high-quality visuals faster, and at a fraction of the cost of its predecessor, the company said. The original MAI-Image-2 model was released by Microsoft’s new MAI superintelligence team earlier this month, and the team led by Mustafa Suleyman gets credit for launching a streamlined version of that model just weeks later. As the name suggests, MAI-Image-2-Efficient is all about efficiency, with Microsoft…

The electricity to an island goes out. To find the break in the underwater power cable, a ship pulls up the entire line or deploys remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) to traverse the line. But what if an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) could map the line and pinpoint the location of the fault for a diver to fix?Such underwater human-robot teaming is the focus of an MIT Lincoln Laboratory project funded through an internally administered R&D portfolio on autonomous systems and carried out by the Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group. The project seeks to leverage the respective strengths of humans and…

In 1964, science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke predicted that computers would overtake human evolution.“Present-day electronic brains are complete morons, but this will not be true in another generation,” he told the BBC. “They will start to think, and eventually, they will completely out-think their makers.”Daniel Roher opens his new documentary The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist (2026) with this cheerful prophecy. And in the hundred-some minutes that follow, he tries to make sense of a technology that, by his own admission, he does not understand — and a world that is rapidly being changed by it.…

Enterprise buyers don’t follow a single funnel, so why does your marketing strategy pick a side? The ABM vs inbound debate is costing SaaS teams more than they realize. Most marketing debates are about budget in disguise. “Should we do ABM or inbound?” translates to “where should we put the money?” This framing is incorrect to say the least but most enterprise SaaS marketing teams still leverage it. ABM and inbound are different tools solving disparate parts of the same problem. Why pit them against each other? And in enterprise SaaS, you need both, because enterprise buying is complicated enough…

The Batman: Part II is now set for an October 1, 2027 release, following multiple delays that pushed the sequel well beyond its original 2025 window. The extended timeline reflects a longer development cycle for director Matt Reeves’ follow-up, with the script only recently completed and production now expected to begin in spring 2026. The sequel continues Reeves’ grounded take on Gotham, which began with The Batman in 2022. That film earned over $770 million globally and established a more detective-driven version of Bruce Wayne, set within what Reeves has described as an “epic crime saga.” Part II is expected…
