Austria urges Europe to host Anthropic following US curbs on AI access


Austria urges Europe to host Anthropic following US curbs on AI access <br> Austria has proposed that the European Union should consider hosting Anthropic within ​the bloc&#39;s borders in order to counter efforts &zwnj;by the United States to block foreigners from using the AI company&#39;s most advanced models. In a letter to EU Technology Commissioner Henna ​Virkkunen released by the Austrian government, Austria&#39;s State ​Secretary for Digitalisation, Alexander Proell, wrote it was ⁠important that Europe was not cut off from major ​innovations. &quot;Let us jointly explore the strategic establishment and participation of ​Anthropic within the European Union. With legal certainty, market access, capital and a set of values that suit this company,&quot; Proell ​said in the letter.

Earlier this month, ​the ⁠European Commission proposed laws to boost domestic cloud, AI and semiconductor industries and cut reliance on US Big Tech, defying ⁠US ​government criticism of the bloc&#39;s crackdown ​on its industry. <br> <img src="https://tribune.com.pk/story/2615450/austria-urges-europe-to-host-anthropic-following-us-curbs-on-ai-access" alt=" Austria urges Europe to host Anthropic following US curbs on AI access" width="100%">

Apple launches new 13-inch, 15-inch MacBook Air with M3 chip Apple has unveiled its next-generation M3 MacBook Air range, in 13-inch and 15-inch sizes. With the M3 chip, the devices will have faster CPU and GPU performance, an upgraded Neural Engine, and up to 2x faster Wi-Fi, along with the ability to connect to two external displays at the same time. Available for order, the new MacBook Air range will be shipped from March 8. The ability to connect to two external displays had been a much-awaited feature in laptops. The feature comes with a small catch, not allowing MacBook Air desktop to be connected to external displays without the laptop lid being closed. If lid is open, only one external display will work like the previous M1 and M2 models. Being called the “world’s best consumer laptop for AI”, M3 MacBook Air features a faster 8-core CPU combined with up to 10-core GPU. With a faster 16-core Neural Engine, and upgraded Wi-Fi 6E, the device will allow for maximum theoretical do...

FICO to include 'Buy Now, Pay Later' data in US consumer credit scores

FICO to include 'Buy Now, Pay Later' data in US consumer credit scores Starting later this year, Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) loans will be included in Americans' credit scores, giving lenders a clearer view of repayment behaviour. FICO has announced that its new models, FICO Score 10 and FICO Score 10 T, will incorporate BNPL data, marking the first time major credit scores reflect this growing payment method. BNPL loans let consumers split purchases into smaller payments, often for items like clothes, flights, or groceries. Until now, BNPL activity has been excluded from credit reports, leaving a gap in how lenders assess creditworthiness. FICO's decision aims to offer a more complete picture of an individual's financial behaviour. For younger consumers or those with limited credit histories, BNPL could help build credit. New York Times reported that BNPL could serve as a "credit-builder" if used responsibly. “FICO plans to launch a suite of credit scores...

Scientists expect PakSat MM-1 services from August The newly-lunched Pakistani satellite, PakSat MM-1, would be positioned in a geostationary orbit 36,000 kilometres above Earth and it would start delivery of services in August, scientists associated with the MM-1 project said on Sunday. PakSat MM-1, Pakistan’s second communication satellite, was launched into the orbit on Thursday from China's Xichang Satellite Launch Center (XSLC). Dr Khurram Khurshid, Head Electrical Engineering Department at the Institute of Space Technology (IST), said it would provide communication services. “The satellite will provide communication services like broadband internet, TV broadcasting, media and telecommunication. It … will play an important role in promoting economic activities besides e-commerce and e-governance,” Dr Khurshid said. The satellite launched by the Pakistan Space and Upper Atmosphere Research Commission (SUPARCO) with the support of China under the National Space Programme-2047,...
