Imagine a world where civil servants spend less time drowning in paperwork and more time actually getting things done. Sounds like a fantasy, right? Well, not anymore! Malaysia is rolling out Google Workspace's Gemini AI suite to 445,000 public officers, making it the largest AI adoption in the civil service yet. That's right—AI is officially joining the ranks of government employees (but don't worry, it won't be asking for annual leave). The big announcement came straight from Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo during the launch of AI at Work 2.0, a program designed to bring the magic of generative AI (Gen AI) into government workflows.

According to Digital Minister Gobind Singh Deo, DeepSeek has been making waves globally, with reports suggesting that its capabilities could rival, or even surpass, those of OpenAI's ChatGPT.

Hey, do you ever feel like you're glued to your phone a little too much? Yeah, same. Turns out, just cutting back an hour a day can actually make a big difference for your health. And that's exactly what Phone Free February is all about! It's a nonprofit challenge encouraging people to go phone-free—or at least almost phone-free—throughout February. The Washington Post even covered it, so you know it's legit. Think you could give it a shot?
