Cathay boosts efficiency with expanded automation & AI tools

Cathay Pacific just landed a major digital milestone by deploying over 160 UiPath bots across 20 departments to automate tasks from flight scheduling to invoice processing—cutting some processes from weeks to days. This AI-powered leap earned them the UiPath AI25 Award, spotlighting global leaders in automation. But here’s the twist for the paper packaging industry: Cathay’s use of Intelligent Document Processing shows how high-volume, accuracy-critical workflows—like invoicing and compliance—can be transformed. For packaging firms still buried in manual order forms and procurement paperwork, Cathay’s playbook could be your path to faster turnaround, fewer errors, and smarter resource use.https://itbrief.asia/story/cathay-boosts-efficiency-with-expanded-automation-ai-tools

The Middle East Has Entered the AI Group Chat

In a high-stakes summit on May 14, 2025, Donald Trump and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman met in Riyadh, flanked by billionaire tech moguls and fighter jets, to ink AI-driven deals aimed at reshaping global power dynamics—but what does this mean for paper packaging? Here’s the twist: as AI investments surge, expect smart packaging to explode, especially in logistics and supply chain visibility. With AI now a geopolitical bargaining chip, paper-based packaging firms must pivot fast—think embedded sensors, traceability, and data-driven design. The future of packaging just got an AI upgrade, and it’s unfolding fast.https://www.wired.com/story/trump-middle-east-artificial-intelligence-investments/

US-Saudi $142 Billion Defense Deal Sparks Questions, Few Answers

Here’s your 30-second podcast script: Buckle up, packaging pros—Trump just announced a $142 billion defense deal with Saudi Arabia, but here’s the twist: their entire defense budget is only $78 billion. Experts say much of the deal may repackage old agreements, making it more political theater than procurement. But here’s the hidden impact—if Saudi Arabia stretches its budget for defense, it could delay infrastructure and consumer investments, dampening demand for imported goods and the paper packaging they require. For converters and exporters, that’s a signal to watch Middle East logistics closely.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-05-15/us-saudi-142-billion-defense-deal-sparks-questions-few-answers

Student Busts Teacher Using AI, Demands Tuition Refund

Here’s a twist in the AI tale—at Northeastern University, student Ella Stapleton was shocked to find her professor using ChatGPT to design lessons, even though the syllabus banned students from doing the same. She demanded an $8000 refund, arguing she paid for human instruction, not AI-generated content. While the school denied her request, the story highlights a growing trend: educators secretly relying on AI while penalizing students for it. So what’s the ripple effect for the paper packaging industry? Expect a surge in AI-driven curriculum design in packaging engineering programs—faster content creation, yes, but also a risk of homogenized thinking. Smart companies should push for partnerships with universities to ensure real-world challenges stay at the core of education.https://www.newser.com/story/368767/college-student-busts-teacher-using-ai-demands-refund.html
