The Law of AI of the European Union He entered into force On August 1, 2024, and yesterday the European Commission published a statement in which the uses and prohibited practices of AI. These “prohibited practices” are detailed in the text of the law of AI. Specifically, In its article 5. The objective is to try to cover a series of cases in which AI can try to interact with people, both through consumer applications and through physical environments. European regulation defined four risk levels For AI systems ranging from the minimum risk (spam filters) to unacceptable risk, considered systems as a threat to safety. Among the unacceptable activities are the following: Ia for social scoreallowing to create risk profiles based on people’s behavior. Manipulators capable of affecting people’s decisions in a subliminal or deception. Which exploits vulnerabilities such as age, disability or socioeconomic level of users. The one who tries to predict whether people will commit crimes based on their appearance Ia who uses biometry to infer the characteristics of a person, such as their sexual orientation Which collects biometric data in real time in public sites for police security purposes Which records and tries to infer users’ emotions both in the workplace and in academic institutions Which creates or expands facial recognition databases collecting online images or through security cameras Companies that violate this regulation will face fines of up to 35 million euros or up to 7% of its annual income The previous fiscal year, the figure that is greater. And those fines affect any company, regardless of where its headquarters are installed. Last September 100 companies signed the IA Pact of the EU, a voluntary initiative to promote the application of the principles of the law of AI. Among the signatories were giants such as Amazon, Google and Openai, and all promised to identify potentially qualified AI systems as high risk. There is nevertheless Some exceptions to those prohibited uses of AI. Thus, for example, the AI ​​law allows security agencies to use certain biometric data collection systems – like our face – if these systems help make “directed searches” for for example victims of kidnappings or avoid imminent threats to People. That would validate uses like the one who Recently we met in Madrid. The countries of the European Union have until August 2 to designate which authorities will monitor this market and guarantee compliance with the rules of the AI ​​Law. The question is the impact that this will have on the availability of AI functions in the EU. Since there is talk of high -risk systems, that impact should be minimal, but The rest of the regulatory framework -with The DMA as the protagonist— Yes propose an important obstacle so that in the EU we enjoy the latest advances in this field. In Xataka | The EU’s artificial intelligence law was born obsolete. So you are already preparing the following

income grows, the iPhone and sales in China fall

Apple beats records again. The most valuable company in the world He has just presented the results of the first quarter of 2025 (covered by October, November and December 2024, Here in PDF) and the figures give vertigo. Apple has entered 124.3 billion dollars, 4% more than the same quarter of the previous year. Good news for the company that arrives accompanied by some peculiar data that is worth reviewing. The iPhone falls. A little, at least. He iPhone This quarter has generated 69,138 million dollars, a small reduction with respect to the same quarter of last year, whose sales amounts to 69,702 million. It is a drop of almost 1%. The same happens with the division of wearables, home and accessories, which having generated more income than the Mac or the iPad, has been below the anterior quarter: 11,747 million in the Q1 of 2025 compared to 11,953 million of 2024 The fall is 0.98%. The Apple Intelligence case. According to Tim Cook, “during the quarter of December, we observe that in the markets in which we had implanted Apple Intelligence, the interannual performance of the family iPhone 16 was superior to the markets in which we had not implemented Apple Intelligence“It is a” positive indicator “for future sales of the iPhone in countries where Apple Intelligence is not available, Cook has assured. One of those countries is China (really Apple talks about Greater Chinawhich includes continental China, Hong Kong and Taiwan), where sales have fallen. Total revenues have been 18,513 million dollars, 11% less than the same quarter of the previous year. Apple Intelligence is not available in China or Chinese, although from the firm they have ensured that they plan to launch more languages ​​in April, being the simplified Chinese one of them. iPad Pro (2024 | Image: Xataka Speaking of the Mac and iPad. It has been a great quarter. Both the iPad and the MAC have grown 15%, something that makes sense if we take into account the good performance of the Apple M4 and that in 2023 they did not launch a single iPad model. In that sense, 2024 has been a year of renewal with iPad Air with M2 and the iPad Pro with M4. Only iPad have generated 8,088 million dollars, a figure that increases to 8,987 million in the case of Mac. Subscriptions work. To anyone’s surprise, subscriptions (whose profit margin is high) have been one of the Great growth engines for the company. This division, which includes names such as Apple Music, the App Store, Apple TV+, ICloud or Apple Care, has generated 26,340 million dollars, 14% more than the previous year.

The AI ​​fires Microsoft’s income at the expense of huge investments. And now China threatens its strategy

Microsoft has presented Its quarterly resultsand thanks to them we already know what he won in 2024 thanks to the AI: 13,000 million dollars. Of course, it is also investing 22.6 billion dollars in infrastructure … each quarter. As if that were not enough, you also have to deal with the threat of Chinese innovation. Why is it important. The figures leave a clear reading: the Financial Equation of AI remains very complex. Generating interesting income – the current ones are already, grow 175% year -on -year – requires huge infrastructure investments. And now Chinese innovation threatens to leave a part of that investment obsolete. The context. Microsoft dominates the business market thanks to its early alliance with Openai, but Deepseek’s irruptionwhich has developed more efficient and cheap models, and open source, has caused a small earthquake in the sector. Microsoft is in a race against time: it needs to monetize its great investment in AI as soon as possible, but now it receives increasing competitive pressure from China. The figures: 13,000 million dollars (annualized) in revenue per year. 22.6 billion dollars invested per quarter in infrastructure. 31% Azure growth, below expectations. 24,110 million dollars of quarterly net profit, 10% more interannual. Exceeded expectations. Marking Agenda. The consolidation of Microsoft as a leader in corporate AI is thanks to Copilot, its Microsoft 365 assistantwhich already has more than 160,000 companies using it … and have created more than 400,000 custom agents, according to the figures published by the company. Microsoft is in full transition to a model where AI is integrated into all its business lines: Windows will incorporate AI capacities in 15% of high -end laptops. LinkedIn uses AI to improve its hiring platform. Xbox Cloud Gaming continues to break records with 140 million hours transmitted. Github co -ilot It has more than 150 million active developers. And the AI ​​stars in a striking contrast in the company’s accounts: while Azure’s income, the great winner of the Nadella era, are growing slower than expected, new business lines based on AI are growing explosively: 157%. Deepen. One of the questions that leave these results is whether Microsoft will be able to maintain this level of investment if Chinese efficiency advances force a price war in AI services. Microsoft defends its strategy arguing that the demand for AI will continue to grow exponentially as the costs are reduced, thus compensating the current investments. The question is whether investors share that optimism. Outstanding image | Microsoft In Xataka | I have tried Deepseek on the web and in my Mac. Chatgpt, Claude and Gemini have a problem
