How can we increase the trust and awareness of using these services more effectively and efficiently? What process is needed? What is the result of alternating the cash payment with the non-cash ones? Would it be efficient for Iraqi citizens?

(AI) between threat and opportunity.

Artificial Intelligence is coming to stay, and it is becoming a threat for day-to-day tasks and operations to cease to exist. But it is also an opportunity for some small businesses and creators who integrate (AI) into their businesses. And this dramatic shift in how the work can be done will impact the whole economic cycle and job opportunities; new jobs are being created while (AI) is taking over others. So how can we work on avoiding creating a crisis for job seekers and business owners through this transition, and how can we use (AI) best to our advantage?

Copyright in the Digital World: Challenges and Solutions for Tech Companies

In today's era, innovation never stops; with the advanced internet of things and data-dominant era, our data is being shared and saved all the time, and they are stored for a lifetime, including our personal and professional information. Companies that produce innovative software are prone to having their idea or software stolen and used by third parties without preserving their copyrights. The same goes for content creators and other tech-related companies. Personally speaking, sometimes sharing this data and breaching confidentiality creates many issues for the people and companies involved.
