The debut of Saudi Arabia’s first male robot caused uproar online when it made an ‘inappropriate gesture’ during a live event. Video footage showed the robot extending its hand towards a female reporter and making inappropriate contact. Leading to discussions on social media about its behavior. The incident, which occurred during the robot’s inaugural appearance at DeepFest in Riyadh on March 4, was shared by Megh Updates on X.
The video shows a male robot extending its hand towards the woman’s back explicitly touching her from behind. Reactions to the video were mixed, with some viewers convinced that the robot behaved inappropriately, while others speculated that it may have been malfunctioning.
At its unveiling, Mohammad, the humanoid robot, wore a traditional white thawb and red keffiyeh. According to Gulf Business, Mohammad addressed the audience in perfect Arabic.
Developed by QSS Systems as the male counterpart to Sara, Mohammad proudly declared at the event, “I am Muhammad, the first Saudi robot in the form of a man.

Influencer marketing has become essential in modern advertising, using social media platforms as crucial channels for brands to connect with their target audience. This strategy involves collaborating with popular social media influencers to endorse or promote a brand, product, or service, leveraging their credibility and extensive reach. Celebrities’ online endorsements significantly influence consumers’ purchasing decisions.
Influencer marketing can intensify competition among businesses by highlighting the reliability and quality of their products or services. It also facilitates the entry of small businesses and newcomers into the market, aiding in their expansion. However, the increasing prevalence of influencer-driven marketing campaigns has led to a rise in deceptive marketing practices, posing significant risks to unsuspecting consumers.
The Competition Commission of Pakistan (CCP) has observed certain influencers and endorsers making false and misleading endorsements to attract consumers. The Commission has already issued detailed “Guidelines on Section 10: Deceptive Marketing Practices,” clarifying that false or misleading ‘endorsements/testimonials’ are prohibited.

Mubashir Mehmood, a professional in digital marketing, highlighted that influencers often focus on younger audiences, including teenagers and individuals in their early 20s, who may not fully grasp the implications of the endorsements they come across.
“This lack of understanding (of youngsters, which leads to loss in many cases) can reduce trust, a crucial element in the digital space, especially in e-commerce.”
Furthermore, the CCP emphasized in a statement to the media that false or misleading endorsements violate Section 10 of the Competition Act, 2010, which prohibits deceptive marketing practices. In collaboration with stakeholders, the CCP aims to ensure fair competition and consumer protection. The commission is dedicated to taking strict action against deceptive marketing practices to uphold the Competition Act, 2010.
Ramiz Raja has weighed in on the career trajectory of emerging fast bowler Hunain Shah, urging him to explore opportunities with other franchises in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) apart from Islamabad United.
During the PSL 9 match between Islamabad United and Karachi Kings, Raja expressed his belief that Hunain, who is the younger brother of renowned pacer Naseem Shah, could benefit from stepping out of his brother’s shadow.
Raja emphasized the potential drawbacks of playing alongside Naseem in the same team, citing the possibility of feeling overshadowed and constrained in one’s development.
“It would be good for Hunain to play for another franchise as what happens is there is so much of spoonfeeding and because he [Naseem] is such a pillar to this family, a superstar to Pakistan cricket. You get suppressed in your approach towards the game,” Raja remarked.
He further elaborated, “You are frightened that you wouldn’t be as good as your brother, it is better for him to feel absolutely relaxed and serve better without Naseem’s shadow.”
Hunain Shah made his PSL debut this season with Islamabad United alongside his other brother Ubaid Shah.
Notably, it is the first time for a franchise team to feature three brothers in the squad.
Meanwhile, Hunain Shah has showcased his bowling prowess with six wickets in six matches, maintaining an economy rate of 8.63.

There are rumblings in the cricketing circles as Mohsin Naqvi, the incumbent head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), appears set to bid farewell to his premier position.
Naqvi was elected at PCB chairman last month, however, now the reports suggest that he is set to join the federal cabinet, leaving PCB chairman post.
Broadcast journalist Muneeb Farooq has hinted at Naqvi’s impending departure, sparking speculation about his next move.
Reports suggest that Naqvi may be eyeing a significant role in the federal cabinet, with predictions swirling about his potential appointment as the Interior Minister.
This anticipation aligns with the unfolding of names within the new national coalition, which is unveiling key figures with each passing day.
To materialize this transition, Naqvi would likely need to secure a position as a Senator in the Upper House. Elections for the Upper House are scheduled for later this month, following the end of the six-year tenures of multiple lawmakers.
Alternatively, Naqvi could be tapped for the role of Special Assistant to the Prime Minister (SAPM) on the Interior, a pivotal position in the government’s administrative framework.
However, Naqvi’s tenure at the helm of the PCB has not been without controversy. His appointment to the PCB’s Board of Governors by the Caretaker Prime Minister has faced legal challenges in the Islamabad High Court.
The petitioner has argued that a Caretaker PM lacks the authority to appoint a specific individual as the head of the PCB, contending that such decisions should rest with the elected Prime Minister.

Karachi, Pakistan, March 08, 2024: On International Women’s Day, Google celebrates the growing potential and aspirations of women in Pakistan, and reaffirms its dedication to empowering them further with the belief that by equipping women with the skills and resources they need, the country can unlock a future filled with greater equality, inclusion, and prosperity for all.
As part of the company’s’ commitment to help create Future Forward Pakistan, Google has been running various initiatives to help not only to bridge the digital gap for women but also empowering top Pakistani female talents to compete in the global market.
Bridging Gaps Through Upskilling
While the country is on the path of progress in female literacy, gender parity remains a challenge. In Pakistan, female labor force participation rate is among the lowest in the world, hovering around 22%.
Google recognizes the incredible potential and aims to bridge these gaps by launching several programs to help drive stronger equality, and the empowerment of women in the workforce. One such example is the Google Career Certificates program, launched in Pakistan in 2022. 50% of the program scholarships are allocated exclusively for women, in order to increase women’s access to economic opportunities and enable them to pursue their aspirations. The program awarded 44,500 scholarships in 2023 and has committed 45,000 new scholarships for 2024 to empower more learners.
Supporting Women Founders and Women in Tech
It is estimated that only 1% of entrepreneurs in Pakistan are female. In an effort to ensure that Pakistani women are an equal part of the entrepreneurial ecosystem; The Women Founders Circle, a collaboration between Google Cloud and the National Science and Technology Park (NSTP), offers workshops and mentorship for women entrepreneurs in tech, fostering greater inclusion in the startup landscape.
In addition, the Women Techmakers (WTM) program works to upskill and inspire women in technology, running events, providing mentorship, and advocating for greater diversity. There are 7 WTM ambassadors in Pakistan across 5 cities (Islamabad, Lahore, Karachi, Peshawar, and Hyderabad). In 2023 alone, Google supported Pakistani WTM Ambassadors to run 7 events across those cities to celebrate the International Women’s Day, which inspired more than 1,500 women.
Nurturing Future Voices
Google News Initiative (GNI), with the support of its local partners, trains young journalists, providing opportunities for women to gain reporting experience, addressing the accessibility of newsrooms.
Marium Chaudhry, a passionate journalist in Pakistan, is on a mission to make the newsroom more accessible for the younger generation in the country. To fulfill her mission of empowering readers, the Google News Initiative partnered with her to help train 120 students in digital journalism using GNI resources. In 12 months, 36 hours of in-person training were conducted, and 50+ blogs were written by students.
Sharing stories, achieving dreams
While YouTube has been a positive force in Pakistan in more ways than one, it also continues to serve as a powerful platform for women to share their voices and inspire others. Throughout the years, there are more and more creators who choose YouTube to be the platform of choice to share their stories and their passion. But not only that, many created a career and gained financial independence through YouTube.
A great example is Iqra Kanwal, one of Pakistan’s top female creators on YouTube. She is a role model of someone who has been able to break stereotypes by following her dream, and empowering and entertaining her community in Pakistan through her content.
Kanwal shares ” I strongly believe that every voice is significant, every story is valuable, and YouTube has played a pivotal role in enabling its creators to bring these stories to life. The platform has been instrumental to my success as a content creator and has provided strong avenues to share my narratives, connect with the audiences globally, and achieve success.”
“Google believes that empowering women is key to driving progress and creating a more equitable future.” states Farhan Qureshi, Google’s Country Director for Pakistan. “Our women-focused programs are strategically designed to equip women in Pakistan with the necessary tools and resources they need to overcome hurdles and unleash their full potential.”
By implementing these initiatives, Google is creating a positive impact on the lives of women in Pakistan and is committed to continuing this journey, working hand-in-hand to create a brighter future where women in Pakistan can hit their stride and contribute to a more inclusive and prosperous society.

He revealed that while Babar advises him against certain shots, he sometimes defies the captain’s instructions, creating an element of spontaneity in their partnership.
