ASML, Airbus and Mistral are planted before Brussels. They ask that the application of the law of AI and notify the risks delay

July 4, 2025 by usatoday24

Europe already has its great artificial intelligence law. What is missing, according to several companies, are the concrete rules to apply it. Only one month after the first standards for the most advanced models, more than 45 large companies – among them ASML, Airbus or Mistral – enter into force – They have signed an open letter asking Brussels to “stop the clock” and postpone their entry into force two years. They point to an unrealistic calendar and the difficulty of competing with the United States or China. What exactly is EU’s artificial intelligence law? The European Union Artificial Intelligence Law entered into force on August 1, 2024after having been politically approved by the European Parliament and the Council in December 2023. It is the first comprehensive regulation of the world focused on this technology, and regulates from how the models are trained to what contexts can be used. The key is in its approach to risk levels: the greater the potential impact, more legal obligations. And what exactly Asml, Airbus, Mistral and the rest ask? They demand a pause two years before the most demanding parts of the law enter into force, especially those that affect high -risk systems and the general purpose models, whose first section is scheduled for August 2025. The reason: The standard is too complex, overlaps with other regulations and still lacks key guides for its application. ASML headquarters in Veldhoven Among those guides is the code of good practices, that had to have been published in spring and still does not be ready. Companies argue that without that document, and with this level of uncertainty, the law can become a brake for European innovation. “This situation puts at risk not only the development of European leaders, but the ability of all industries to deploy the scale required by global competition,” They warn. They also ask that regulatory quality prioritize against speed, and warn that continuing without changes would send a wrong message to the seriousness of Europe in its commitment to technological competitiveness. The names behind this initiative. The request does not arise from an isolated startup or from an informal group of companies. Behind is the EU AI Champions Initiative, a group that groups more than 60 European companies that claim to be committed to the development of a competitive AI and aligned with the EU values. Among its members are names such as ASML, Airbus, Mistral AI, Mercedes-Benz, BNP Paribas, Siemens Energy, Lufthansa, Philips or Publicis. Of course, not all members of the US Ai Champions Initiative signed the letter published this week.

Apple believes that its rivals are not doing well in ia. It is the perfect excuse to delay Siri one more year

June 13, 2025 by usatoday24

We already have news about the arrival of the expected and Nueva Siri. They are not good. Apple points to the spring of 2026 as a launch objective for its new assistant, with the aim of bringing it as part of the update to iOS 26.4, According to Bloomberg sources. The delay is completely in line with The recent interview of Wall Street Journal Craig Federight and Greg Joswiak: Apple knows that he is losing the AI career, and he only has trust that your proposal ends up working in the long term. They painted you little birds in the air. It has been just one year since that presentation of Apple Centered in Apple Intelligence. One in which they told us about an integration of Siri in the system as we had not seen: an assistant with the ability to understand each corner of iOS, with an advanced contextual understanding and integration with each native app of the system. In principle, the final deployment was planned for autumn of 2024, but the delays accumulated and accumulate until they reached a practically unsustainable point. iOS 26 as first real step. Apple took advantage of the WWDC 25 To present iOS 26, one of the Greater changes at the visual identity level Never seen in Apple’s operating systems, now much more unified. Next to him, they finally arrived Artificial Intelligence Functions Applied to everyday use: although for practical purposes they do not go far beyond the translation of texts, filters for calls and some improvements in the generation of genumjis in image playground. After almost a year of delays, Apple finally implied what is its philosophy with AI: work to make it local, but with a functioning similar to that of its rivals. More delays. After the presentation of iOS 26with novelties in AI but not a single word about the new Siri, the question was forced. What is happening with her? The responses of a Craig Federighi, nothing height but not entirely comfortable, perfectly revealed the moment in which Apple is. (Joanna Stern) “Siri is not better than his competition”, (Craig Federight) “already, but it will be, it is our mission.” (Greg Joswiak) “It would be disappointing to launch something that does not meet our quality standards.” (Craig Federight) “This is a new technology, nobody is doing very well right now.” Joswiak, software leader in Apple, justified its road map around the key point: the company wants its AI to be discreet and that the user can perform tasks with the phone without even realizing that he is using Apple Intelligence. In fact, they do not want a dedicated app, as there is for Gemini either Chatgpt. The problem? Google has achieved this goal for a long time. Apple’s rivals are doing well. Although Apple points to the immaturity of the AI for mobiles, the truth is that one of its best moments lives. And phones like Google Pixel or the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra They are the best proof of this. Here you have to make a distinction between Gemini as an app integrated in the system, and with Gemini Nano as a language model. On a telephone like the Ultra S25 can: Translate real -time calls without knowing that AI is doing. Remove the background noise from a video automatically, without Gemini telling you what you are doing. You can transcribe a voice recording with a single click, without opening additional applications. If they call you, the phone will automatically detect whether or not spam, without notices about ia. Yes, Google (although its approach is not so local), is able to integrate Gemini silently into the system. So much so that their functions are still native to the system, and the user does not have to know what is done with Ia and what not. Apple needs to overcome Gemini at AI. It will not be easy. Apple, for now, has not shown to live. During the presentation of Apple, Its action fell 1.5%. The expectations were high, but the presentation was a clear Apple message showing not being above any of its direct rivals, and relegating third parties (OpenAi) the most advanced functions of AI. With the looks put in 2026, the pressure to which Apple is subjected is even greater. The maturity point of its main rival, Google Gemini, is very highabove proposals in Benchmarks regarding Grok 3, O3-mini, Deepseek R1, Claude 3 and calls 4. To recover Apple confidence needs results, not promises.

The delay of ‘GTA VI’ goes far beyond a mere change in the calendar. It is an earthquake for industry

May 5, 2025 by usatoday24

Not as expected, the Delay in the launch of ‘GTA VI‘He has stopped causing a stir in the video game industry. Rockstar’s title was announced in the Already distant December 5, 2023 With a trailer that gave us clues of where the shots would go, but that left us wanting more after the launch of a ‘gta v’ that dates back to 2013. In its first version. ‘GTA VI‘It was the great launch of 2025 and its absence is much more than the delay of one of the greats. It is an earthquake in the industry because it affects the rest of the calendarto the actions of your parent company and even console sales that do not go as they should. Momentum. In a strange way, on Friday, May 2, at 13.25 peninsular time in Spain and with a release Bug, Rockstar confirmed what was smelled to kilometers: ‘GTA VI’ was going to 2026. The company sets date: May 26 next year, and it is a fairly significant date, not so much because it represents something, but because the rest of the industry breathes relieved and knows what to stick to. But despite the ways, the way of communicating that ‘GTA VI’ will not be launched this year is not accidental. From the first 2023 trailer and that “will arrive in 2025”, we had not had more news about it. ‘GTA VI’ would sell even without advertising, but it was strange not to have seen anything else from the game. The players knew in the background that the game may not leave this year, and Rockstar itself knew it before that announcement. Why did he do so? Because we are in the middle of the year and they could not do it before April 1. Impact. It was that day that finished Take-Two’s fiscal closure, a company that Rockstar Games is filial and could not announce in any way that the game was delayed if they wanted to keep investors happy. For sample, a button: The value of the actions: The difference between half an hour prior to the announcement and later days is evident. Because, as we said, ‘Grand Theft Auto’ has long since stopped being a game to become the game, the one that raises passions and moves a lot, a lot of money. Not surprisingly, the fifth delivery has been released several times (in 2013 the original arrived for Xbox 360 and PS3but then relaunted for PC, Xbox One and PS4 and, later, for current Xbox Series and PS5), adding More than 210 million copies as of December 31, 2024. 2025 is again in the menu. Even ‘Red Dead Redemption 2‘, which is a game that has sold well below’ GTA V ‘, has managed to place more than 70 million copies since its launch in 2018, a barbarity in a supersaturated market. Because, as we say, Rockstar is a company that can paralyze the industry. So much that it has become a kind of joke within the sector. Because nobody wants to launch their game in the window of a ‘GTA’ and, after those sales of the fifth numbered delivery, the industry was waiting for Rockstar to specify a date -beyond the window given a year ago– To start moving marketing machinery. This, more than a personal appreciation, has been a recurring comment on networks these days. An example is Luke Dale, voice actor in ‘Kingdom eats Deliverance 2‘That he joked with the possibility that the game in which he participates, now, can opt for the Goty (the best game of the year) in the absence of the Rockstar title. Console sales. But, beyond public and private opinion of the sector, it is a fact that players have no money or time for everything. They are the two goods that the industry seeks to monopolize by all possible means, and the launch of a ‘GTA’ is a large black hole for the rest of the companies that, now, can place their games in the launch windows they estimate without worrying about the elongated shadow of the rockstar saga. But there are entities in the industry to which this sure delay that has not fallen so well. Xbox stopped being in the hardware race with Any device can be an Xbox. PlayStation, a brand traditionally linked to the ‘GTA’ saga, would surely have many hopes that the new installment gave both its PS5 and a Ps5 pro With more power to display the best visual quality of the video game. HE esteem That, between January 1 and April 25, Sony has distributed 3.2 million machines. Xbox, meanwhile, 730,000 consoles in that period and, although especially in the case of Sony is a good figure, It supposes One million units than those he managed to place in the same period last year. ‘GTA VI’ seemed like a breath of fresh air, especially when there are already rumors that point to A PS6 in 2027. 2025 was never realistic. At least, that states Jason Schreier. It is one of the most reputed journalists in the video game industry and, just after the announcement of the delay of ‘GTA VI’, he commented that none of the people he has talked about within Rockstar trusted 2025 as a viable date for the launch and that a delay to 2026 was inevitable. In their wordsthere is “a lot of work and very little time”, and this delay was an internal desire to Avoid a crunch -Term of the world that reflects extra hours to finish the development- inevitable if someone from above intended to launch the game in 2025. Now, it only remains to wait to see if that date of May 26, 2026 remains fixed, since like other developments – of Rockstar itself – they have shown us, it is that no date is marked in stone and that there can be one … or even two more delays from there.

GTA VI suffers a delay and will not reach 2026

May 2, 2025 by usatoday24

Half spot flags. Rockstar has officially announced that GTA VI, the most anticipated video game of recent years, It has been delayed until May 26, 2026. That is, there is more than a year for your arrival. The study has communicated the news through A statement in X. We have listened for months Rumors of delay… that have now been confirmed. The game was initially planned to launch in autumn of this 2025, but according to Rockstar, it will need more development time. Apparently, the window of this autumn It seemed unreal And the company has preferred to shield. “We want to thank your support and patience while we work to finish the game. With each game we have launched, the goal has always been to try to overcome their expectations, and Grand Theft Auto VI is no exception,” Rockstar said in his statement. This announcement arrives a few days before the next presentation of Financial Results of Take-Two, Rockstar parent company, scheduled for May 15. From the launch of the First and only trailer in December 2023 We had not received any other news or information about GTA VI. Now it remains to continue leaving the Margarita for the arrival of a game that aspires to spray all records. In Xataka | A ‘GTA VI’ I only ask you to look less at ‘GTA V’ and more to ‘Vice City’.

After a delay of seven years, Saudi Arabia takes up the works of the highest skyscraper in the world. Let’s see what lasts

February 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Saudi Arabia has become the Madrid of the ‘galacticos’, the Barcelona of the ‘Tiki-Taka’. When we talk about megaconstructions, the country plays in another league, a capable of shadowing the Almighty Manhattan. And it is evident when we see all those projects that have as hands like the imposing MUKAABthe huge Abraj al Bait tower watch or the ‘Boss’ end of urbanism: The Line. Another project is Jeddah Tower that, like The Line, It has been choking More than once to builders. But, after two threats to return to the work, now the final one has arrived: they have restarted the works of what will be the highest building in the world. Kingdom Tower. The Jeddah Tower, or Kingdom Tower, has an objective between eyebrow and eyebrow: make the Burj Khalifa 828 meters high. To do this, the same team of architects that built the Dubai skyscrapers is being in charge of this tower, which will be the jewel of the crown of the crown of the Vision 2030 Project and the heart of a new city that will rise around it. The construction began more than a decade ago, but although they advanced at a good pace, the planning was too optimistic. It was said that it would have been completed in 2018, but by then, the tower was not even close to completing. The reason? Delays due to labor problems and COVID-19 Pandemiabut above all to the purge of corruption of 2017. The purge. In 2018, the heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman created an anti -corruption committee with an objective: centralize political power. He had tired that different elites of the country handled the threads, so he created a system that ended with more than 380 arrests of entrepreneurs, ministers, princes and even members of his family, as his own mother. HE speak of death groups to murder dissidents and, in this purge to stop political corruption, extortion to officials and money laundering, foundations and first floors of the Jeddah Tower suffered the consequences, being frozen. Initial plans with the intention of release the tower in 2018 and a height comparison To the third is the defeated. At the end of 2023, the promoter invited local contractors to see which candidacy conquered him for the end of the work and, in October last year, a video made it clear that They moved on. The problem is that everything was very in the air … until now, when the company Kingdom Holding Companythe one behind the project has announced that construction has restarted. In it release before the press, They affirmed that they had already poured cement on the 64th floor and that they are using a cement application technique with which they can complete a floor every four days. 1,000 meters, more or less. It will have about 160 floors and we cannot speak with ownership of the matter because, really, it is not clear. It is curious that it is not known from the beginning how many floors the tower will have or how much it will measure, and in the last releaseThey explain that it will measure more than 1,000 meters high, but that it is something that will take place in the future. To every train. What seems invariable is that it will be a luxurious tower that will act as an epicenter of a new city. The skyscraper will house shops, offices, recreational spaces and hotels, such as Four Seasons. He also aspires to have the highest viewpoint in the world and is expected to be a structure covered with glass, such as an extremely elongated pyramid and with a base of three edges. It will be in an area of 5.3 million m² in which there will be hospitals, schools, universities, shopping centers and housing, as well as other high towers and, from the government, it has been confessed that they are open to any type of investment to develop The ambitious project. Investment? Welcome. They affirm that the financing has almost been completed, with the builders -binladin Group- financing the first part, the banks putting their grain of sand and other sources of capital that has preferred not to reveal (stating that it is something that they will do step by step). What has made it clear is that Binladin Group is “strongly supported by the government” and that they are open to any type of investment because it is a tower that will make the land around you increase their value. And not only the immediate, like that land of 5.3 million m², but the entire region. This is what they want to ride around them They have work ahead It is estimated that the Jeddah tower is completed by 2028 as part of Vision 2030 to diversify the economy of the country, but as this does not stop, they are already thinking about its following tower: one that will humiliate Jeddah with a height of two kilometers in Riadnear the imposing Rey Khalid International Airport.

the delay in the development of the new wind tunnel generates a domino effect

January 23, 2025 by usatoday24

Aston Martin faces a major challenge heading into the season 2026 of Formula 1year marked by the implementation of new technical regulations that promise to level the grid. The Silverstone team, which has experienced notable growth in recent years, is currently in a technological and structural transition periodwith his eyes fixed on his new wind tunnel of the latest generation, a key piece for your ambitions. However, a delay in wind tunnel calibration process has slowed down the development of the 2026 cargenerating a domino effect that affects both the team and its medium-term planning. Although from January 1, 2025 Aston Martin and all the teams on the Formula 1 grid were authorized to begin work on the design of the new cars, the Silverstone team has decided to wait until its new facility is fully operational to begin that phase of work. . The new wind tunnel, located in the Silverstone Technology Campusis part of the modern facilities that Aston Martin has built to compete at the highest level. Designed to be an essential tool in improving aerodynamic performance, its launch has been delayed due to the complexities of its calibration. This process, led by the engineering director Luca Furbattowas to be completed by the end of 2024, but the work has been extended beyond what was planned. Despite these delays, Aston Martin has chosen not to use the wind tunnel that he has rented for years to mercedes in Brackleywhere his previous cars were developed, including the AMR25 of 2025. The decision to work exclusively at Silverstone responds to a clear strategy: maintaining confidentiality, guaranteeing that the technical solutions for the new car are developed in-house, away from possible leaks, and trusting that their new work tool will provide more and better information for this process. Fernando Alonso reviews the changes in the ARM24 with an engineer Aston Martin Qualitative leap He new Aston Martin wind tunnel it’s not just one significant investment in infrastructurebut also a fundamental pillar for your future. Equipped with the most advanced simulation systems, it promises to offer more precise data that can be correlated with real track conditions. However, as the team recognizes, it will take time to fine-tune the simulations and take advantage of the full potential of this tool. Furthermore, the arrival of Adrian Neweyone of the most brilliant minds in the history of Formula 1reinforces Aston Martin’s expectations. Newey, who will join the team on March 5dedicate much of its time to the development of the 2026 car. Its incorporation, together with other notable technicians such as Andy Cowell and Eric Blandinreinforces the team’s long-term vision. The delay in using the new wind tunnel is not the only challenge facing Aston Martin. The team is also in full transition to official team statusa process that involves designing and manufacturing key components, such as the gearbox, that were previously sourced from Mercedes. Furthermore, the association with the historic manufacturer Sling for the supply of power units exclusively for them from 2026 adds an additional layer of complexity to this restructuring stage. Andy CowellCEO of Aston Martin Performance Technologies, has emphasized the importance of managing all these processes efficiently to avoid compromising performance on the track. “2026 is an opportunitybut not the final goal. We want to build a team that achieves sustained success,” he said in recent statements. The 2025 season will be crucial to consolidate the team’s structure before facing the challenges of 2026. Although the AMR25 will be developed with current resources, the strategic focus is already on the next big technical leap. Cowell insists that the key will be finding a balance between immediate priorities and long-term goals. With a robust technical base, a high-level human team and a constantly evolving infrastructure, Aston Martin seems to be on the right track to compete at the top of the grid. However, time is of the essence and rivals such as Mercedes, Red Bull and Ferrari will not give up in the fight to maintain their dominance.
