Strive Gaming and PlayStar Casino announce strategic partnership

March 25, 2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Strive Gaming, a modern multi-state, multi-tenanted platform provider crafted specifically for the North American market, has announced a new partnership with leading online casino operator PlayStar. Under the agreement, Strive will supply its market-leading PAM technology to support PlayStar’s ongoing growth across North America. PlayStar will shift its New Jersey operations from its current player account management (PAM) provider to the Strive platform, with subsequent launches planned in additional regulated regions, including Ontario and Alberta in Canada. PlayStar selected Strive following a comprehensive evaluation process as it sought a platform partner capable of backing its long-term aspirations across North America. Strive’s exclusive focus on the U.S. market, coupled with the strength and scalability of its technology, positioned it as the clear partner of choice. Max Meltzer, CEO at Strive Gaming, said: “PlayStar is a highly ambitious operator with a distinct vision for building one of the top casino brands in North America. They were in search of a platform partner that grasps the realities of operating in the U.S. and Canada and can support them as they scale across multiple regulated markets. “Our focus on North America, combined with the robustness and flexibility of our platform, made this a natural fit. Both companies are on strong growth paths and share similar ambitions for the region, so we’re excited to support PlayStar as it continues to expand.” PlayStar Casino has rapidly established itself as one of the success stories in the regulated North American casino market. The company has successfully built meaningful market share and a dedicated player following. Partnering with Strive marks the next phase in its growth strategy as it looks to expand further across North America. Fredrik Liljewall, CEO at PlayStar, added: “As we continue to scale our presence across North America, selecting a platform partner with a strong regional focus and the ability to support our long-term ambitions was crucial. “Strive’s technology, deep understanding of the North American market, and collaborative approach made them the clear partner for PlayStar. We look forward to working closely together as we migrate our New Jersey operations and expand into additional jurisdictions, including Canada.” This partnership marks another significant milestone for Strive Gaming, which now supports more B2B PAM customers in the U.S. than any other platform provider. The inclusion of PlayStar further strengthens Strive’s growing portfolio of operators and reinforces its position as a supplier of choice for ambitious brands seeking to launch and scale in the North American market.

Sistem persaraan kita mendapat gred C-plus; para pembuat dasar mempunyai peluang untuk menaikkannya ke gred A berita

Sistem persaraan kita mendapat gred C-plus; para pembuat dasar mempunyai peluang untuk menaikkannya ke gred A

March 25, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Juta-juta orang Amerika tidak mempunyai simpanan yang mencukupi untuk persaraan — dan jutaan lagi tidak tahu dari mana harus memulakan. Dengan Presiden Trump baru-baru ini menunjukkan sistem persaraan Australia sebagai blueprint potensi untuk AS, ini adalah saat yang jarang berlaku di mana momentum reformasi benar-benar sedang membangun. Pembuat dasar harus mengambil peluang ini. Pertimbangkan seorang pekerja muda yang memulakan pekerjaan pertama mereka hari ini. Undang-undang baru-baru ini bermakna mereka berkemungkinan terdaftar secara automatik dalam 401(k) dari hari pertama — kemajuan sebenar. Tetapi jika kita melompat ke beberapa dekad kemudian: pekerja yang sama mungkin telah bekerja dengan enam majikan, mengumpul jalinan akaun kecil, dan masih menghadapi soalan yang mengganggu jutaan orang Amerika: Adakah ini mencukupi? Cerita ini semakin menjadi norma. Jangka hayat yang lebih panjang, kerjaya yang kurang linear, kos sara hidup yang meningkat, dan belanjawan kerajaan yang lebih ketat sedang menentukan semula apa maksud keselamatan persaraan. Akta SECURE 2019 dan penggantinya pada 2022 telah membuat kemajuan yang bermakna — tetapi jurang dalam perlindungan jangka hayat, kecukupan simpanan, dan liputan masih wujud. Dengan rancangan 401(k) dan 403(b) kini menjadi tulang belakang persaraan untuk kebanyakan orang Amerika, kes untuk reformasi yang lebih mendalam adalah mendesak. Mercer CFA Institute Global Pension Index — yang menilai sistem persaraan di lebih 50 pasaran berdasarkan kecukupan, kelestarian, dan integriti — menjadikan masalah ini nyata. AS skor baik dalam integriti tetapi sentiasa ketinggalan dalam kecukupan dan kelestarian, iaitu tempat di mana reformasi boleh memberi kesan segera yang paling besar. Hasilnya: AS berada di tengah-tengah kedudukan global manakala negara seperti Australia memimpin. Tanpa reformasi, lebih ramai orang Amerika berisiko mencapai persaraan tanpa pendapatan yang mencukupi — atau alat untuk mengakses apa yang mereka telah simpan. Di mana reformasi paling diperlukan 1. Ubah simpanan menjadi pendapatan yang berterusan Menyimpan hanyalah separuh cabaran. Masalah yang lebih sukar adalah menukar baki 401(k) kepada pendapatan yang boleh dipercayai dan tidak akan habis. Selalunya, pekerja berubah pekerjaan dan mengeluarkan wang dari akaun kecil daripada memindahkannya — mengurangkan simpanan persaraan mereka secara kekal. Dengan populasi AS yang berumur lebih 60 dijangka berganda pada 2050, risiko jangka hayat bukanlah perkara abstrak. Proses rollover yang lebih mudah dan pendedahan yang lebih jelas akan banyak membantu pekerja memelihara simpanan mereka — dan merancang persaraan yang boleh berlangsung selama 30 tahun. 2. Tutup jurang liputan Simpanan persaraan di AS masih sangat tidak sekata. Pekerja muda, pekerja separuh masa, dan penjaga adalah yang paling kurang layanan — dan ramai di antaranya mempunyai sedikit keterlihatan tentang sama ada mereka berada di landasan yang betul. Tiga penyelesaian yang disasarkan boleh menutup sebahagian besar jurang itu: pendaftaran semula automatik untuk pekerja yang sebelum ini memilih keluar; meluaskan liputan kepada pekerja di bawah 21 tahun, berdasarkan pengembangan Akta SECURE untuk pekerja separuh masa; dan sumbangan tangkapan khas untuk penjaga yang sementara meninggalkan tenaga kerja. Bersama-sama, perubahan ini akan meluaskan akses dan memberi ganjaran kepada pekerja yang paling berisiko ketinggalan. 3. Memodenkan pelaburan — dan mengurangkan risiko undang-undang Pada 2025, Presiden menandatangani perintah eksekutif yang mengarahkan pengawal selia untuk melegakan sekatan ke atas pelaburan pasaran swasta dalam rancangan 401(k) — mengikuti pendekatan lama Australia. Memberi akses kepada penyimpan kepada ekuiti swasta, modal ventura, dan aset digital boleh meningkatkan kepelbagaian dan hasil. Tetapi ramai majikan masih menunggu panduan jelas mengenai pelabuhan selamat fidusiari, kecairan, dan yuran sebelum bertindak. Membenarkan rancangan 403(b) — yang meliputi jutaan pekerja kerajaan dan bukan untung — untuk melabur dalam amanah pelaburan kolektif, seperti yang sudah boleh dilakukan oleh rancangan 401(k), akan mengurangkan kos dan meluaskan akses untuk segmen tenaga kerja yang kurang layanan. Risiko undang-undang juga menjadi halangan yang semakin meningkat. Rancangan yang dibiayai oleh majikan telah menghadapi lonjakan litigan dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan ini, dan pembuat dasar harus meneroka cara yang disasarkan untuk menghalang tuntutan undang-undang yang tidak perlu sambil mengekalkan tuntutan yang sah berdaya maju. Pencen masih penting Kebanyakan simpanan persaraan baru kini mengalir ke dalam 401(k) dan 403(b), tetapi bahagian penting dari kekayaan persaraan sedia ada masih berada dalam pencen faedah ditentukan tradisional. Memodenkan sistem tidak boleh bermakna meninggalkan apa yang masih berfungsi. Menurunkan premium Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) akan menggalakkan majikan untuk terus menaja rancangan DB. Fleksibiliti yang lebih besar dalam menggunakan aset lebihan DB juga boleh memberi manfaat kepada kedua-dua pekerja dan penaja rancangan. Pembuat dasar juga harus menyokong reka bentuk DB yang mengurangkan turun naik kewangan untuk penaja — seperti rancangan majikan gabungan, yang akan memudahkan organisasi kecil untuk menawarkan pencen sama sekali. Inti perkara Dasar persaraan yang lebih baik bukanlah tentang memenangi kedudukan global. Ia adalah tentang memastikan generasi akan datang boleh bersara dengan maruah — walaupun kerjaya menjadi kurang linear dan jangka hayat menjadi lebih panjang. Reformasi yang digariskan di sini — mengembangkan pilihan pendapatan seumur hidup, menutup jurang liputan, memodenkan peraturan pelaburan, mengurangkan risiko undang-undang, dan mengukuhkan perlindungan pencen — akan menjadikan sistem AS lebih tahan lasak dan lebih adil. Tetingkap untuk bertindak adalah terbuka. Pembuat dasar tidak harus membiarkannya tertutup.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Goldman mengangkat peluang tabung kematian ekonomi ke 30% akibat naiknya inflasi, turunnya perspektif GDP dan lonjakan harga minyak berita

Goldman mengangkat peluang tabung kematian ekonomi ke 30% akibat naiknya inflasi, turunnya perspektif GDP dan lonjakan harga minyak

March 25, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Goldman Sachs menyuarakan nada berhati-hati terhadap ekonomi AS, meningkatkan ramalan inflasi dan mengurangkan prospek pertumbuhan sebagai tindak balas kepada lonjakan harga minyak yang disebabkan oleh gangguan di Selat Hormuz. Namun, walaupun risiko kemelesetan meningkat, kebanyakan kes asas Wall Street kekal sebagai pertumbuhan yang lebih perlahan — bukannya kemerosotan yang nyata.Dalam kemas kini ekonomi mingguan AS yang diterbitkan pada hari Selasa, Goldman Sachs berkata ia kini menjangkakan minyak mentah Brent akan purata $105 setong pada bulan Mac dan $115 pada bulan April sebelum turun semula ke $80 menjelang akhir tahun, dengan andaian gangguan bekalan Hormuz berlaku selama kira-kira enam minggu. Berdasarkan prospek minyak yang disemak semula itu, bank tersebut menaikkan ramalan inflasi PCE utamanya sebanyak 0.2 mata peratusan kepada 3.1% menjelang Disember 2026 dan menurunkan sedikit anggaran pertumbuhan KDNK setahun penuh kepada 2.1%. Goldman Sachs juga menaikkan kebarangkalian kemelesetannya sebanyak 5 mata peratusan — kepada 30% — sambil menegaskan bahawa kemelesetan masih bukan kes asasnya.Satu jaminan relatif: Goldman Sachs tidak menjangkakan kejutan minyak akan menjejaskan jangkaan inflasi secara berterusan. Malah kejutan tenaga utama dalam sejarah baru-baru ini tidak menghasilkan anjakan berterusan dalam jangkaan pengguna dan perniagaan terhadap harga, kata bank itu, walaupun ia menandakan psikologi inflasi pasca-pandemik sebagai risiko yang perlu diperhatikan. Sesetengah penganalisis melihat kebarangkalian kemelesetan yang lebih tinggi Pendapat di seluruh Wall Street berbeza secara ketara, dengan sesetengah pihak menawarkan amaran yang lebih drastik daripada Goldman Sachs tentang potensi kemelesetan. Bob Michele dari JPMorgan telah memberi amaran bahawa perang Iran bukan sekadar "bonggol kelajuan" inflasi, menolak unjuran Fed sendiri dan berhujah bahawa tekanan harga boleh kekal tinggi sehingga separuh kedua tahun ini. EY-Parthenon meletakkan kebarangkalian kemelesetan pada 40%, memetik kesan berantai pada infrastruktur LNG dan sistem penapisan melampaui pasaran minyak itu sendiri. Ketua Ekonomi Moody’s Analytics, Mark Zandi, telah berhujah bahawa kebarangkalian kemelesetan adalah hampir seimbang — sebelum perang meletus. Namun yang lain melihat keadaan ekonomi dengan lebih optimis. BNP Paribas berhujah bahawa AS "berada dalam kedudukan yang baik untuk menyerap kejutan itu," merujuk kepada status Amerika sebagai pengeluar minyak mentah terbesar di dunia dan pengeksport tenaga bersih — satu kelebihan struktur yang tidak wujud semasa kejutan minyak pada tahun 1970-an dan 1980-an. Harga minyak yang lebih tinggi mengagihkan semula pendapatan dalam ekonomi AS dan bukannya mengalirkannya ke luar negara, sekali gus mengehadkan kerosakan makro. AS juga menggunakan tenaga yang jauh lebih sedikit bagi setiap unit KDNK berbanding dekad-dekad sebelumnya, mengurangkan impak inflasi yang dibawa oleh kejutan bekalan masa lalu. Fed melangkah di atas garisan yang halus Federal Reserve mengekalkan kadar polisinya stabil pada 3.5%–3.75% pada mesyuarat Jawatankuasa Pasaran Terbuka Persekutuan (FOMC) minggu lepas — satu keputusan yang disifatkan oleh Goldman Sachs sebagai "sedikit lebih hawkish daripada yang dijangkakan". Pengerusi Jerome Powell mengakui risiko inflasi daripada minyak sambil meletakkan kebimbangan pekerjaan dan harga pada tahap yang sama, memberi isyarat bahawa pemotongan kadar tetap mungkin tetapi tidak akan berlaku dalam masa terdekat. Goldman Sachs masih menjangkakan dua pemotongan 25 mata asas pada bulan September dan Disember, membawa kadar kepada 3–3.25% menjelang akhir tahun, dan menolak penetapan harga pasaran yang telah mula mengambil kira kenaikan kadar. Hasilnya sangat bergantung pada satu pembolehubah: berapa lama gangguan Hormuz berlarutan. De-eskalasi yang pantas akan membolehkan premium risiko minyak pudar dan mengehadkan kerosakan ekonomi kepada beberapa persepuluh mata peratusan pertumbuhan. Sebaliknya, konflik yang berpanjangan akan mengukuhkan kos tenaga, menyekat perbelanjaan pengguna, dan memaksa Fed ke sudut yang semakin tidak selesa. Goldman Sachs kini meletakkan senario terburuk itu — yang teruk dan berterusan — sebagai risiko ekstrim, bukannya ramalan. Buat masa ini, kes asas di kebanyakan Wall Street adalah ekonomi yang perlahan tetapi bertahan — dengan inflasi yang berjalan lebih panas daripada yang diinginkan oleh Fed, pertumbuhan di bawah potensi jangka panjangnya, dan berita geopolitik beberapa bulan akan datang yang akan menentukan senario mana yang akhirnya menang.

Exclusive: Platform AI Origin Capai $30 Juta Pendanaan Baru untuk Memberikan Tampilan Pengguna kepada HRB (Chief Human Resources Officer) Mengenai Penggunaan dan Pengeluaran Manfaat

March 24, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Origin, sebuah syarikat pemula yang berpangkalan di London yang membina platform berkuasa AI untuk membantu syarikat multinasional menguruskan faedah pekerja mereka, telah mengumpul $30 juta dalam pembiayaan modal teroka baharu.Pembiayaan tersebut, yang dipanggil oleh syarikat sebagai pusingan Siri A+ lanjutan, menjadikan jumlah keseluruhan dana yang dikumpul oleh Origin dalam tempoh 12 bulan yang lalu kepada lebih daripada $50 juta.Pelaburan terbaru ini diketuai oleh Notion Capital, yang juga mengambil bahagian dalam Siri A awal Origin. Felix Capital, yang mengetuai pusingan sebelumnya, Acadian Ventures, dan semua pelabur sedia ada yang lain turut mengambil bahagian, kata syarikat itu. Ia juga menyatakan bahawa ia telah memperoleh “pembiayaan pertumbuhan tambahan” daripada HSBC Innovation Banking U.K. bersama-sama dengan pusingan teroka baharu tersebut. Pelabur budiman Origin termasuk Paul Daugherty, bekas ketua pegawai teknologi dan inovasi Accenture; Jacqui Canney, ketua pegawai orang dan pendayagunaan AI di ServiceNow; dan Tudor Havriliuc, bekas naib presiden sumber manusia di Meta, yang memegang jawatan tersebut dari 2010 hingga 2022. Syarikat itu enggan memberikan penilaiannya berikutan pembiayaan terbaru ini, tetapi menyatakan ia adalah penilaian yang lebih tinggi daripada penilaiannya selepas Siri A awal. Origin diasaskan oleh Chris Bruce dan Pete Craghill, pasukan kepimpinan di sebalik Darwin, sebuah syarikat perisian teknologi faedah, yang asalnya dipanggil Thomsons Online Benefits, yang telah diambil alih oleh Mercer pada tahun 2016. Pada masa pengambilalihannya, Darwin memegang 80% bahagian pasaran bagi pasaran pentadbiran faedah global bukan AS, menurut Bruce. Bruce memberitahu bahawa idea untuk Origin datang daripada perbincangan yang beliau lakukan dengan Craghill pada musim panas 2023 di mana mereka berdua memerhatikan bagaimana kemajuan dalam AI dan model bahasa besar kini boleh menangani masalah yang telah mereka cuba dan gagal selesaikan sepenuhnya 15 tahun sebelumnya: memberikan syarikat besar gambaran yang jelas tentang apa yang mereka belanjakan untuk faedah pekerja secara global. “Ia sememangnya tidak mungkin tanpa AI,” kata Bruce. Bagi kebanyakan organisasi, faedah adalah kos kedua terbesar mereka, tetapi mereka kekurangan keterlihatan terhadap apa yang mereka belanjakan. Bruce berkata seorang ketua pegawai kewangan pelanggan memberitahunya bahawa syarikat itu percaya ia membelanjakan kira-kira $750 juta untuk faedah tetapi tidak mempunyai cara untuk mengesahkan angka tersebut. “Saya mempunyai keterlihatan pada setiap baris bajet dalam organisasi, kecuali faedah,” Bruce mengenang kata-kata CFO tersebut. Punca masalah itu, kata Craghill, adalah data faedah dalam organisasi multinasional tersebar di seluruh PDF, polisi insurans, platform vendor, dan dokumen tempatan dalam berpuluh-puluh bahasa. “Anda mempunyai semua data tidak berstruktur ini di seluruh dunia, dan tiada penyelesaian untuknya,” kata Craghill. “Ia sentiasa menjadi masalah manusia.” Beliau berkata Origin menghabiskan 18 bulan pertamanya memberi tumpuan untuk menyelesaikan cabaran pengambilan data, belajar cara menilai kualiti dan kesempurnaan bahan sumber yang sangat tidak konsisten. Platform Origin, yang dikuasakan oleh enjin AI yang dipanggil syarikat sebagai Cuido, mengambil dan menyusun data yang berpecah-belah itu—daripada polisi, kontrak, pembaharuan, laporan broker, dan platform vendor—ke dalam satu sistem rekod yang boleh disoal selidik. Menggunakan platform tersebut, eksekutif HR boleh menjejaki perbelanjaan dan penggunaan faedah, serta mengendalikan pembaharuan, semakan polisi, dan aliran kerja tadbir urus. Pekerja juga boleh menyoal platform Origin untuk bertanya tentang faedah yang tersedia untuk mereka. Dalam syarikat multinasional dengan tawaran faedah yang kompleks di geografi yang berbeza, mendapatkan jawapan kepada soalan yang kelihatan mudah ini sering kali mengambil masa berhari-hari. Kini, ia hanya mengambil masa beberapa minit. Walaupun itu baik untuk pekerja, ganjaran sebenar untuk menggunakan platform Origin adalah ia membantu syarikat merasionalkan perbelanjaan faedah mereka, mengurangkan pertindihan, atau membantu mereka menyatukan penyedia, menurut Bruce. Syarikat yang CFO-nya menganggarkan beliau membelanjakan $750 juta setahun untuk faedah, kini menjangkakan untuk menjimatkan sekitar $75 juta dengan menggunakan platform Origin, kata Bruce. Seorang lagi pelanggan Origin menyatukan 13 polisi insurans tempatan ke dalam satu pelan serantau, mencapai penjimatan kos sebanyak 20%, menurut syarikat itu. Platform Cuido milik Origin telah dicipta bersama dengan kerjasama beberapa majikan multinasional besar yang berkhidmat sebagai pelanggan utama Origin, termasuk Pfizer, Comcast, dan BP. Bruce berkata syarikat itu telah mendekati 11 syarikat multinasional utama dua tahun lalu, berkongsi visinya, dan meminta mereka mendaftar sebagai pencipta bersama yang membayar. Tujuh daripada 11 syarikat tersebut bersetuju. Sebuah syarikat teknologi besar yang pada mulanya menolak untuk membina sistem yang serupa secara dalaman akhirnya menyertai Origin 10 bulan kemudian selepas meninggalkan usahanya sendiri, kata Bruce. Origin kini mempunyai kira-kira 75 pekerja dan pasukan pasaran di Amerika Syarikat serta United Kingdom dan Eropah. Syarikat itu menggunakan apa yang dipanggil Bruce sebagai “model harga berasaskan nilai” yang terikat dengan kerumitan organisasi pelanggan, termasuk bilangan negara di mana ia beroperasi. Pembiayaan baharu Origin akan digunakan untuk memperdalam integrasi ke dalam platform pengurusan modal insan sedia ada, seperti daripada Workday dan Peoplesoft milik Oracle, supaya maklumat faedah boleh diakses di tempat pekerja sudah bekerja, dan untuk mengembangkan keupayaan rakan kongsi Origin bagi broker, perunding, dan penanggung insurans. Andy Leaver, rakan kongsi operasi di Notion Capital, berkata dalam satu kenyataan bahawa firmanya menggandakan pelaburan dalam Origin kerana kelajuan dan pelaksanaan pasukan tersebut. “Faedah adalah salah satu fungsi perusahaan utama terakhir yang masih ketinggalan oleh gelombang pendigitalan sejak 25 tahun yang lalu,” kata Leaver. “AI kini membolehkan pembinaan sistem rekod dan kecerdasan sebenar untuk faedah.”Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Sumitomo Heavy Industries and NEC to develop system capable of identifying and reporting near-miss incidents JCN Newswire

Sumitomo Heavy Industries and NEC to develop system capable of identifying and reporting near-miss incidents

March 24, 2026
TOKYO, Mar 25, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Sumitomo Heavy Industries, Ltd. (SHI) and NEC Corporation (NEC) will begin joint development in April 2026 of a system that automatically identifies near-miss incidents at construction sites and generates reports as part of promoting safety. The system utilizes camera footage and sensor data collected from hydraulic excavators, aiming to prevent accidents.Overview of safety measure implementation using the jointly developed systemBackgroundConstruction industry operations are heavily influenced by unpredictable factors such as weather, geological conditions, and constantly changing work environments, resulting in frequent hazardous incidents. To enhance safety, there is growing demand for new support systems that leverage digital technologies. One such demand is for a system capable of automatically extracting, visualizing, and summarizing potentially hazardous scenes ("risk scenes") from site-specific and time-dependent video footage and work logs. However, within the construction industry, no technology is currently available for comprehensively supporting the entire process—from the accumulation of video data on construction machinery operations, to the extraction of risk scenes, the analysis and visualization of near-miss incidents, and, ultimately, the generation of reports in an end to-end manner.Against this backdrop, SHI—leveraging its expertise in construction machinery and data analytics—and NEC, with its long-cultivated capabilities in video recognition and cutting edge generative AI technologies, will jointly initiate the development of a first-of-its-kind system for the construction industry that automatically extracts near miss incidents and generates corresponding reports based on camera footage and sensor data captured from hydraulic excavators.OverviewThe new system will utilize an extraction AI model, trained on real world hydraulic excavator data accumulated on the SHI Group’s ICT/IoT common platform "SHICuTe" (1), to first identify and extract risk scenes from recorded video footage. These risk scenes, together with operational data from the hydraulic excavators, will then be analyzed using NEC’s proprietary technology that combines video recognition with generative AI (2), and stored as multimodal data incorporating temporal and spatial information. Based on this data, along with SHI’s expertise in construction-site machinery operations and human workflows, the system will cross reference hazardous and prohibited behavior data—which are defined by accidents, construction equipment failures, and operations requiring particular attention—as well as company specific data. Based on these matching results, the system will automatically identify the risk scenes that should be reported and automatically generate high quality near miss reports that provide a concise summary of the circumstances surrounding each incident.Prior to this initiative, a technical proof of concept was conducted in September 2025 to verify a system that automatically extracts near miss incidents and generates reports from video footage captured by cameras mounted on hydraulic excavators. The results confirmed that, based on the risk scenes extracted from the footage, the system was able to report near miss cases—including potential accident scenarios and their associated circumstances. Building on these outcomes, the joint development starting in April 2026 will aim to further expand the types of near miss incidents that can be identified and enhance the report generation capabilities in line with customers’ safety management needs, thereby contributing to the realization of safer construction sites.Process for generating near miss reportsOutlookIn fiscal year 2026, technical development and validation of the system will be advanced by utilizing on site data and safety management expertise from SHI, together with AI technologies and advanced technology consulting services provided by NEC, with the aim of achieving practical implementation in fiscal year 2027. Looking ahead, the companies plan to broaden the system’s applicability beyond scenes where physical contact between workers and machinery may lead to occupational accidents to include unsafe conditions that may not be readily recognized by workers, as well as considerations for site specific operational rules, thereby further expanding its scope of use.SHI and NEC will continue to combine their respective strengths to develop and validate new technologies, contributing to the realization of safer construction sites.(1) SHICuTe is a common platform that enables cross functional development of capabilities across the product lines of the SHI Group.

Fujitsu and The University of Osaka develop new technologies for chemical material energy calculations on early-FTQC quantum computers JCN Newswire

Fujitsu and The University of Osaka develop new technologies for chemical material energy calculations on early-FTQC quantum computers

March 24, 2026
Kawasaki, Osaka, Japan, Mar 25, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and the Center for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at The University of Osaka today announced the development of a new technology designed to accelerate the industrial application of quantum computers in the era of early fault-tolerant quantum computing (early-FTQC). By combining ver. 3 of the STAR architecture, a unique highly efficient phase rotation gate quantum computing architecture, with a novel molecular model optimization technique, researchers have significantly reduced computational resource requirements. This breakthrough will enable the energy calculations for chemical material design such as catalyst molecules, within a realistic timeframe using early-FTQC quantum computers. These kinds of calculations are currently not possible using current computers, and would take millennia even using previous versions of the STAR architecture. The technologies are expected to contribute to solving various societal challenges, including accelerating drug discovery, improving the efficiency of ammonia synthesis processes, and advancing carbon recycling technologies.BackgroundQuantum computing holds significant promise across a wide range of industries, including drug discovery, cryptography, and finance. However, current quantum systems are highly error-prone, and practical applications are generally believed to require quantum computers with millions of qubits.To improve error correction and accelerate practical application of quantum computing, Fujitsu and The University of Osaka established the STAR architecture ver. 1 on March 23, 2023, followed by ver. 2 on August 28, 2024. The latter, with advanced phase rotation gates, significantly expanded computational scale, enabling potential early-FTQC calculations of solid-state material properties like high-temperature superconductivity.However, accurately calculating complex molecular chemical energies for practical applications still required excessive resources, and prior methods were limited by insufficient computational power or impractical timeframes.Newly developed technologyThis joint research [1] has demonstrated that combining the following two technologies enables energy calculations for chemical materials with sufficient accuracy and within a practical timeframe:1. Development of the STAR architecture ver. 3STAR architecture ver. 1 and 2 previously demonstrated more efficient quantum computing with unique phase rotation gates over conventional T-gate FTQC architecturesVer. 3 improves computational accuracy by more than 10x compared to ver. 2 by integrating phase rotation gates with logical-T gatesThis advancement enables more complex molecular calculations with the same qubit count and lowers the error rate requirements for qubitsFigure 1: Comparison of universal gate sets in quantum computing architectures 2. Technology for molecular model optimization This molecular model optimization technology is designed for use with quantum computers implementing STAR architecture ver. 3 and is applied during the process of generating quantum circuits from molecular modelsThis technology refines existing methods, which reduce computational resources by decomposing molecular models into many terms and selectively applying two techniques—time evolution and random sampling—with different characteristics based on the importance of each termThe technique reshapes the molecular model while preserving approximation accuracy, redistributes term importance, and optimizes the balance between the two techniques. This minimizes the number of gates in quantum circuits for molecular energy calculations, achieving a substantial reduction of computation time compared to conventional methodsFigure 2: Principle of molecular model optimization To validate the effectiveness of these technologies, the researchers evaluated the number of qubits and computational time required for industrially applicable energy calculations for three distinct molecules: Cytochrome P450, an important oxidizing enzyme in drug discovery; Iron-sulfur clusters, catalytic proteins involved in ammonia synthesis and energy metabolism; and Ruthenium catalysts, a focus in synthetic chemistry. Accurate energy calculations for these molecules are currently infeasible with classical computers due to memory limitations. Even with the STAR architecture ver. 2, such computations would take several millennia and high precision calculations would be difficult to achieve due to the scale of the calculation. The results of this validation primarily demonstrate that the STAR architecture ver. 3 reduces the number of qubits necessary to perform the calculations to between 1/15 and 1/80 of conventional FTQC architectures. Furthermore, the partners confirmed that calculations are feasible on early-FTQC quantum computers even with a lowered physical error rate requirement for qubits, from the previous 0.01% to 0.10%.Figure 3: Number of qubits required for energy calculation of three molecules Moreover, the molecular model optimization technology shortened computation time by three orders of magnitude compared to not using the technology. Fujitsu and The University of Osaka confirmed that computation times could be significantly reduced to approximately 35 days with a qubit error rate of 0.10% and approximately 10 days with 0.01%. Further reduction in computation time is possible with future expected reductions in the physical error rates of quantum computers and the use of parallel computing with multiple quantum computers, making the achieved computation times sufficiently practical. Figure 4: Computational time required for energy calculation of three molecules Future plansFujitsu and The University of Osaka will continue to advance the STAR architecture and molecular model optimization technology, expanding the practical application range of quantum computers in the early-FTQC era. The partners aim to contribute to solving societal challenges by applying these technologies across various industrial fields, including drug discovery, new material development, and finance.(1) This research was supported by the Japan Science and Technology Agency (JST), the Program on Open Innovation Platforms for Industry-academia Co-creation (COI-NEXT), "Quantum Software Research Hub" (JPMJPF2014); JST Moonshot Goal 6 "Realization of a fault-tolerant universal quantum computer that will revolutionize economy, industry, and security by 2050," R&D project "Research and Development of Theory and Software for Fault-tolerant Quantum Computers" (JPMJMS2061); MEXT Quantum Leap Flagship Program (MEXT Q-LEAP), and "Development of quantum software by intelligent quantum system design and its applications" (JPMXS0120319794) Related LinksCenter for Quantum Information and Quantum Biology at The University of OsakaSTAR Architecture pageFujitsu QuantumFujitsu Small Research LabFujitsu and Osaka University* develop new quantum computing architecture, accelerating progress toward practical application of quantum computers Fujitsu and Osaka University* accelerate progress toward practical quantum computing by significantly increasing computing scale through error impact reduction in quantum computing architecture* As of April 2025, the official English name for Osaka University is "The University of Osaka."Press Conference MaterialsHeld on March 25, 2026Presentation Material: Fujitsu and The University of Osaka develop new technologies for chemical material energy calculations on early-FTQC quantum computersAbout FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.

‘Perbicaraan pembunuhan korporat’ — Hakim minta Anthropic dan Jabatan Kriegs (Tentera) menyelesaikan perselisihan berkaitan risiko rantaian bekalan

March 24, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Peguam bagi Jabatan Perang dan Anthropic berbalah di mahkamah persekutuan California pada hari Selasa berkenaan cabaran Anthropic terhadap Pentagon yang melabelkannya sebagai risiko rantaian bekalan kepada keselamatan negara dan melarang semua kontraktor kerajaan daripada menggunakan alat AI syarikat yang meluas. Kes ini—yang melibatkan kejadian pertama dalam sejarah di mana Pentagon, kini dinamakan semula sebagai Jabatan Perang (DOW), melabelkan sebuah perniagaan yang diketuai Amerika Syarikat sebagai risiko rantaian bekalan kepada keselamatan negara—berpunca daripada rundingan kontrak yang meningkat dengan cepat. DOW ingin menambah klausul "semua penggunaan yang sah" secara menyeluruh kepada kontraknya dengan syarikat AI supaya tentera boleh menggunakan alat Claude milik Anthropic untuk sebarang tujuan yang sah. Anthropic menolak tentera menggunakan Claude untuk peperangan autonomi yang mematikan dan pemantauan besar-besaran terhadap rakyat Amerika. Anthropic, di bawah pimpinan pengasas Dario Amodei, berkata ia belum menguji penggunaan tersebut secara menyeluruh dan tidak percaya ia berfungsi dengan selamat. DOW mendakwa garis panduan tersebut tidak boleh diterima dan komander tentera memerlukan ruang untuk membuat keputusan mengenai misi. Pada 27 Feb, Presiden Trump menyiarkan di Truth Social mengarahkan "SETIAP" agensi persekutuan untuk "BERHENTI SEGERA" semua penggunaan alat Anthropic. Pada hari yang sama dalam siaran di X, Setiausaha Perang Pete Hegseth melabelkan Anthropic sebagai "risiko rantaian bekalan" dan berkata "tiada kontraktor, pembekal, atau rakan kongsi yang berniaga dengan tentera Amerika Syarikat boleh menjalankan sebarang aktiviti komersial dengan Anthropic." Label risiko ini biasanya dikhaskan untuk negara bangsa, musuh asing, dan ancaman lain. Anthropic memfailkan sam samuan pada 9 Mac, mendakwa kerajaan "membalas dendam terhadapnya" kerana menyuarakan pandangannya mengenai garis panduan keselamatan dan telah melanggar Pindaan Pertama dalam berbuat demikian. Ia juga mendakwa kerajaan melanggar proses yang digariskan dalam Akta Prosedur Pentadbiran dan hak proses yang sah Pindaan Kelima. Kerajaan berkata tindakan pentadbiran itu adalah respons terhadap penolakan Anthropic untuk melaksanakan terma-terma tersebut dalam kontrak semasa rundingan dan berhujah bahawa kebebasan bersuara bukanlah isu dalam kes ini. Timbalan Peguam Kanan Negara Eric Hamilton berkata kerajaan mempunyai kuasa yang tidak terhad untuk menentukan syarikat mana yang akan diurusniagakan. Hamilton berkata tingkah laku Anthropic telah menimbulkan kebimbangan bahawa kemas kini perisian masa depan boleh digunakan sebagai "butang mati" dalam operasi ketenteraan. Hakim Daerah Rita F. Lin bersikap skeptikal dan dalam kenyataan pembukaannya menggambarkan kes ini sebagai "perbahasan dasar awam yang menarik" mengenai kedudukan Anthropic berbanding keperluan ketenteraan kerajaan, tetapi berkata peranannya bukan untuk "memutuskan siapa yang betul dalam perbahasan itu." Sebaliknya, Lin berkata soalan sebenar yang perlu diputuskan oleh mahkamah adalah sama ada kerajaan "melanggar undang-undang" apabila ia melangkaui daripada sekadar tidak menggunakan perkhidmatan AI Anthropic dan mencari penjual AI yang lebih dibenarkan untuk bekerjasama. "Selepas Anthropic mendedahkan pertikaian kontrak ini kepada umum, defendan nampaknya mempunyai reaksi yang agak besar terhadap perkara itu," kata Lin. Reaksi tersebut termasuk melarang Anthropic daripada mendapatkan kontrak kerajaan—termasuk mengecualikan entiti lain seperti National Endowment for the Arts daripada menggunakannya untuk mereka bentuk laman web; arahan Hegseth bahawa sesiapa yang ingin berniaga dengan tentera Amerika Syarikat mesti memutuskan hubungan komersial mereka dengan Anthropic; dan, melabelkan Anthropic sebagai risiko rantaian bekalan. "Yang membimbangkan saya mengenai reaksi ini adalah bahawa ia nampaknya tidak benar-benar disesuaikan dengan kebimbangan keselamatan negara yang dinyatakan," kata Lin. Jika kebimbangan itu adalah mengenai rantaian perintah, DOW boleh sahaja berhenti menggunakan Claude dan teruskan jalan mereka, katanya. "Salah satu keterangan amicus menggunakan istilah percubaan pembunuhan korporat," tambahnya. "Saya tidak tahu jika ia pembunuhan, tetapi ia kelihatan seperti percubaan untuk melumpuhkan Anthropic. Dan khususnya kebimbangan saya adalah sama ada Anthropic sedang dihukum kerana mengkritik kedudukan kontrak kerajaan dalam akhbar." Keterangan amicus, atau kawan mahkamah, dalam kes ini telah menarik pelbagai suara termasuk daripada Microsoft, pegawai tentera bersara, dan jurutera serta penyelidik dari OpenAI dan Google. Hampir semua menyokong kedudukan Anthropic yang mencari injunksi terhadap pelabelan risiko rantaian bekalan tersebut. Keterangan yang dirujuk oleh Lin datang daripada pelabur dan "Freedom Economy Business Association." Keterangan itu merujuk kepada siaran X yang ditulis oleh Dean Ball, penasihat dasar kanan bekas Trump untuk AI dan teknologi baharu. "Nvidia, Amazon, Google terpaksa melucutkan pelaburan daripada Anthropic jika Hegseth mendapat apa yang diinginkannya," tulis Ball. "Ini semata-mata percubaan pembunuhan korporat. Saya tidak mungkin mengesyorkan pelaburan dalam AI Amerika kepada mana-mana pelabur; saya tidak mungkin mengesyorkan penubuhan syarikat AI di Amerika Syarikat." American Federation of Government Employees, sebuah kesatuan 800,000 pekerja persekutuan, berkata dalam keterangan amicusnya bahawa pentadbiran Trump mempunyai corak menggunakan kebimbangan keselamatan negara sebagai alasan untuk membalas dendam terhadap kebebasan bersuara. Microsoft menulis bahawa larangan terhadap Anthropic akan membahayakan perniagaannya sendiri, dan boleh mengurangkan pelaburan industri pertahanan masa depan dan penglibatan dengan AI. Keterangan daripada Human Rights and Technology Justice Organization tidak mengambil kedudukan siapa yang harus menang di mahkamah, tetapi berhujah menentang AI yang dimiliterikan secara umum, dan menyatakan bahawa penggunaannya boleh membawa kepada risiko hak asasi manusia yang bencana. Lin berkata dia akan mengeluarkan pendapat pada minggu ini. Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Pemasangan ICE di lapangan terbang adalah ‘ujian percubaan’ untuk pilihan raya 2026 – mantan strategis Trump kewangan

Pemasangan ICE di lapangan terbang adalah ‘ujian percubaan’ untuk pilihan raya 2026 – mantan strategis Trump

March 24, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Menempatkan pegawai imigrasi di tempat mengundi akan menghalang migran haram "membatalkan" undi warganegara, Steve Bannon mendakwa Ejen-ejen Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) yang membantu di lapangan terbang AS harus dianggap sebagai "uji coba" untuk peranan yang lebih luas dalam pilihan raya 2026, Steve Bannon, seorang bekas strategis White House dan tokoh MAGA terkemuka, berkata. Ejen-ejen ICE telah mula membantu Transportation Security Administration (TSA) di lapangan terbang seluruh AS, selepas penutupan Department of Homeland Security (DHS) menyebabkan kekurangan kakitangan dan barisan keselamatan yang panjang di pusat pemeriksaan. Semasa bercakap dalam podcast War Roomnya pada hari Isnin, Bannon memberitahu peguam konservatif Mike Davis bahawa penempatan di lapangan terbang boleh digunakan "sebagai uji coba, sebagai kes ujian untuk benar-benar menyempurnakan penglibatan ICE dalam pilihan raya pertengahan 2026." Davis menjawab bahawa ejen-ejen ICE harus "berada di tempat mengundi," dengan menegaskan bahawa ia adalah kesalahan persekutuan untuk pendatang haram mengundi dalam pertandingan persekutuan. "Jika anda warganegara Amerika, anda harus gembira bahawa ICE berada di sana, kerana anda tidak akan mempunyai orang asing haram membatalkan undi anda," katanya. Bannon menggambarkan penempatan ICE di lapangan terbang sebagai "langkah catur 5D yang lain daripada President Trump," dengan hujah bahawa ejen-ejen "dilatih untuk, tunggu, memeriksa ID." Pada hari Isnin, unit Enforcement and Removal Operations dan Homeland Security Investigations ICE dilaporkan mula menyokong kakitangan TSA di beberapa lapangan terbang. White House border czar Tom Homan, yang mengawasi operasi tersebut, berkata pegawai imigrasi tidak akan memeriksa penumpang tetapi akan mengendalikan lorong masuk dan keluar untuk membebaskan kakitangan TSA. TSA dan ICE adalah sebahagian daripada DHS, tetapi penguatkuasaan imigrasi telah dilindungi daripada jurang pembiayaan oleh "rang undang-undang yang besar dan indah" Trump, pakej perbelanjaan 2025 yang memperuntukkan kira-kira $75 bilion kepada ICE sehingga 2029. Lebih 400 ejen TSA dilaporkan berhenti sejak penutupan separa bermula. Democrats di Congress telah memberi tumpuan kepada ICE selepas ejen-ejennya menembak mati dua warganegara AS di Minnesota pada Januari, yang dikatakan cuba menghalang sekatan imigrasi besar-besaran di negeri tersebut. Democrats telah berbulan-bulan menuntut agar pemeriksaan baru ke atas ejen-ejen ICE diperkenalkan, seperti keperluan memakai pengenalan, kamera badan, dan larangan topeng muka. Trump telah memberitahu media AS bahawa ICE akan membantu TSA "selama yang diperlukan" dan bahawa beliau akan mempertimbangkan penempatan National Guard jika perlu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Israel akan men occupy selatan Lebanon – Menteri Pertahanan kewangan

Israel akan men occupy selatan Lebanon – Menteri Pertahanan

March 24, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - “Ratusan ribu” orang akan dilarang kembali ke rumah mereka sehingga ancaman Hezbollah dihapuskan, kata Israel Katz Tentera Israel akan menduduki sebahagian Lebanon selatan untuk menangani kehadiran militan Hezbollah di kawasan itu, kata Menteri Pertahanan Israel Katz. Usaha ini akan melibatkan pemindahan ratusan ribu orang dan pemusnahan infrastruktur awam, tambahnya. Israel memulakan kempen tentera terhadap Hezbollah pada awal Mac selepas militan berpusat di Lebanon melancarkan gelombang serangan ke atas negara Yahudi. Serangan itu adalah balasan untuk pembunuhan Pemimpin Tertinggi Iran Ali Khamenei dalam kempen bersama US-Israel terhadap Iran yang dilancarkan pada 28 Februari. Menurut Katz, Angkatan Pertahanan Israel (IDF) akan “mengawal jambatan yang tinggal dan zon keselamatan sehingga ke Litani” – sebuah sungai 30 hingga 40 kilometer di utara sempadan selatan Lebanon dengan Israel. “Ratusan ribu penduduk Lebanon selatan yang mengungsi ke utara tidak akan kembali ke selatan Sungai Litani sehingga keselamatan untuk penduduk utara dipastikan,” kata menteri itu pada hari Selasa semasa mesyuarat dengan pegawai tinggi. “Prinsipnya jelas: Di mana terdapat keganasan dan peluru berpandu, tidak akan ada rumah dan tidak ada penduduk, dan IDF akan berada di dalam.” Semua bangunan berhampiran sempadan Israel akan dibersihkan dan dirobohkan, kata menteri itu, membandingkan taktik Jerusalem Barat di Lebanon selatan dengan yang digunakan di Gaza semasa konflik baru-baru ini antara Israel dan militan Hamas. Pengumuman Katz dibuat hanya sehari selepas ahli kabinet lain, Menteri Kewangan Bezalel Smotrich menyeru pengambilalihan secara langsung Lebanon selatan sehingga ke Sungai Litani. Hezbollah menggambarkan rancangan Israel sebagai ancaman “eksistensial” dan berkata ia “tidak mempunyai pilihan” selain bertempur melawan “agresi ini.” Beirut berkata ia menjangkakan negara asing untuk menekan Jerusalem Barat untuk menghentikan kempennya. Presiden Perancis Emmanuel Macron baru-baru ini mengecam serangan Israel dengan memanggilnya “tidak dapat diterima” dan berhujah bahawa pendekatan serupa telah tidak berkesan pada masa lalu. Israel telah melancarkan kempen tentera terhadap Hezbollah pada pelbagai kesempatan sejak 1978 dan menduduki Lebanon selatan antara 1982 dan 2000.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Agen ICE boleh memperoleh gaji dua kali ganda daripada pekerja TSA—dan ahli ekonomi memberi amaran bahawa gajinya lebih ‘shutdown proof’ daripada pekerjaan kerajaan lain

March 24, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Agen Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) kini menjalankan tugas pekerja Transportation Security Administration (TSA), tetapi satu perbezaan besar ialah mereka dibayar untuk itu. Penghentian operasi kerajaan separa, yang memasuki hari ke-44, telah menyebabkan lebih daripada 50,000 pegawai TSA tanpa gaji, mengakibatkan lebih daripada 450 pekerja berhenti dan ribuan orang mengambil cuti tidak hadir ke kerja, menurut data Department of Homeland Security (DHS). Presiden Donald Trump mengarahkan agen ICE ke lapangan terbang AS untuk menjaga pintu keluar dan memeriksa kad pengenalan supaya agen TSA dapat menjalankan imbasan keselamatan dengan lebih cepat di pusat pemeriksaan. Trump berkata kakitangan ICE boleh menjalankan pemeriksaan imigresen dan penahanan, walaupun itu bukan tujuan utama mereka. Agen ICE ini akan terus menerima gaji, walaupun pegawai TSA tidak menerima pendapatan selama lima minggu, dan perbezaan ini telah menyoroti perbezaan gaji antara kedua-dua kumpulan yang menjalankan tugas serupa. Menurut TSA Career, laman web bukan kerajaan, gaji permulaan untuk agen TSA ialah $34,454, dengan purata gaji pegawai antara $46,000 hingga $55,000. Pekerja TSA yang menerima gaji tertinggi memperoleh sekitar $163,000. Sementara itu, pegawai deportasi dibayar antara $51,632 dan $84,277, menurut iklan pekerjaan di laman web kerajaan. Agen ICE juga layak untuk bonus penandatanganan $50,000, yang selalunya diberikan dalam increment $10,000 setiap tahun, menjadikan jumlah gaji hampir dua kali ganda gaji pegawai TSA. American Federation of Government Employees, kesatuan terbesar yang mewakili pekerja federal dan satu-satunya yang mewakili pekerja TSA, mendakwa agen ICE tidak layak untuk menggantikan dan bekerja bersama pegawai TSA di lapangan terbang kerana mereka kekurangan latihan yang sesuai. Everett Kelley, presiden kesatuan itu, menuntut agar agen TSA dibayar, bukannya digantikan oleh pekerja kerajaan lain. “Ahli kami di TSA telah hadir setiap hari, tanpa gaji, kerana mereka percaya pada misi untuk menjaga keselamatan orang awam yang terbang,” kata Kelley dalam kenyataan pada hari Ahad. “Mereka berhak dibayar, bukan digantikan oleh agen bersenjata yang tidak terlatih dan telah menunjukkan betapa berbahayanya mereka.” Mengapa agen ICE dibayar manakala agen TSA tidak? Sebab di sebalik mengapa agen ICE terus dibayar manakala agen TSA bekerja tanpa gaji terletak pada sumber pembiayaan masing-masing kedua-dua agensi ini. Walaupun kedua-duanya berada di bawah naungan DHS, ICE menerima sebahagian daripada pembiayaannya daripada One Big Beautiful Bill Act Trump, yang menyuntik ICE dengan sekitar $75 bilion selama lima tahun. TSA dibiayai melalui DHS, yang kerajaan berhenti membiayai pada bulan Februari kerana Demokrat menuntut reformasi ke atas ICE selepas penembakan maut dua warganegara AS di Minneapolis pada bulan Januari. Pada hari Selasa, Senat hampir menyelesaikan cadangan yang akan membiayai sebahagian besar DHS, termasuk memberikan gaji kepada agen TSA. Kembalinya pembiayaan akan mengecualikan operasi ICE. Think tank libertarian Cato Institute, menyebut pembiayaan di bawah One Big Beautiful Bill Act sebagai “shutdown proof” dalam laporan Februari, dengan argumen bahawa Republikan “menyela sistem semakan dan imbangan” dengan mengalihkan pembiayaan untuk penguatkuasaan imigresen dan perbelanjaan pertahanan keluar dari peruntukan biasa, menyebabkan kurang pengawasan dan partisipasi yang lebih besar dalam proses belanjawan. Tetapi pecahan antara mereka yang dibayar dan yang tidak semasa penghentian operasi kerajaan adalah kegagalan struktur belanjawan yang melampaui pentadbiran tertentu, menurut Linda Bilmes, pakar kewangan awam dan pensyarah senior di Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government. Keputusan siapa yang dianggap penting dan tidak penting, sebagai contoh, bergantung pada kakitangan jabatan, manakala peruntukan gaji boleh dipengaruhi oleh ketinggalan belanjawan kongres, yang berlaku beberapa kali setahun. “Terdapat disfungsi yang meliputi keseluruhan proses ini,” kata Bilmes kepada semasa penghentian operasi kerajaan pada Oktober 2025. (Semasa penghentian ini, pegawai penguatkuasaan undang-undang termasuk agen ICE dan TSA menerima “super checks” serta gaji lembur). “Setiap kali anda memasuki situasi seperti ini—yang secara purata berlaku empat kali setahun selama empat hingga lima tahun terakhir—terdapat keputusan sewenang-wenangnya tentang siapa yang akhirnya dibayar untuk kerja mereka, siapa yang akhirnya bekerja, siapa yang akhirnya diberi cuti tanpa gaji. “Keputusan sewenang-wenangnya ini hampir menjadi sifat semula jadi dalam disfungsi ini—satu ciri serta satu kelemahan,” tambahnya.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Rancangan satelit militer Jerman menakuti EU – Reuters kewangan

Rancangan satelit militer Jerman menakuti EU – Reuters

March 24, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Langkah Berlin untuk mewujudkan sistem kendiri ini hadir di tengah-tengah peningkatan pertahanan yang lebih luas dan perpecahan yang semakin mendalam dalam blok tersebut Usaha Jerman untuk mewujudkan rangkaian satelit tentera kendiri, yang bebas daripada program selari EU, telah membimbangkan beberapa penggubal undang-undang di Brussels, yang memberi amaran bahawa langkah itu berisiko melemahkan blok tersebut, menurut Reuters. Rancangan ini hadir di tengah-tengah kempen ketenteraan yang lebih luas oleh Jerman dan EU, yang digambarkan oleh pegawai Barat sebagai tindak balas terhadap ancaman yang didakwa daripada Rusia, satu dakwaan yang disifatkan oleh Moscow sebagai “karut.” Menteri Pertahanan Jerman, Boris Pistorius, berkata pada bulan September bahawa Berlin akan melabur €35 bilion (lebih $41 bilion) dalam teknologi angkasa lepas tentera sepanjang lima tahun akan datang, dengan memetik pelbagai risiko, termasuk di orbit. Di bawah cadangan yang pertama kali dilaporkan pada bulan Januari, pengeluar senjata Rheinmetall, pembuat satelit OHB, dan Airbus sedang bekerjasama dalam satu gugusan yang terdiri daripada kira-kira 100 satelit orbit rendah Bumi yang dikhaskan secara eksklusif untuk komunikasi tentera. Sistem ini akan menggunakan teknologi yang serupa dengan Starshield milik SpaceX, iaitu rangkaian kerajaan yang disepadukan dengan Starlink. Sementara itu, EU sedang membangunkan IRIS2, iaitu gugusan satelit seluruh blok yang terdiri daripada kira-kira 290 satelit yang direka untuk menyediakan ketersambungan bagi kerajaan, tentera, dan pengguna komersial. Inisiatif ini telah dibentangkan sebagai alternatif Eropah kepada Starlink dan Starshield, yang bertujuan untuk mengurangkan pergantungan kepada pembekal bukan Eropah. “Jika Jerman kini membina seni bina yang bersifat nasional semata-mata dan tidak disepadukan ke dalam IRIS2, terdapat risiko untuk melemahkan struktur Eropah,” kata Marie-Agnes Strack-Zimmermann, pengerusi jawatankuasa keselamatan dan pertahanan Parlimen Eropah, seperti yang dipetik oleh Reuters. Walau bagaimanapun, jurucakap kerajaan Jerman memberitahu Reuters bahawa Berlin melihat IRIS2 sebagai sesuatu yang berpotensi untuk “melengkapi” inisiatif nasional, sambil menambah bahawa sistem yang dicadangkan itu disesuaikan dengan keperluan khusus tentera negara tersebut. Perkembangan ini berlaku ketika perpecahan terus berlarutan dalam EU berhubung isu pertahanan, perdagangan, dan hubungan dengan Washington. Canselor Jerman, Friedrich Merz, yang pada mulanya dilihat sebagai tokoh pro-Eropah, semakin menekankan kepentingan nasional berikutan perubahan dalam dasar AS di bawah Presiden Donald Trump. Setiausaha Agung NATO, Mark Rutte, telah menggesa negara-negara anggota untuk mengamalkan “pemikiran masa perang” dan meningkatkan perbelanjaan ketenteraan. Moscow telah berulang kali memberi amaran bahawa ketenteraan angkasa lepas berisiko mengubahnya menjadi arena konfrontasi yang baharu.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Jutawan Larry Fink berkata anda salah menganggap bahawa AI mencuri pekerjaan anda adalah masalah besar – isu sebenar adalah apa yang teknologi ini lakukan untuk golongannya

March 24, 2026
(SeaPRwire) - Sebuah bayangan menghantui dunia kerja kolar putih: bayangan kehilangan pekerjaan kolar putih. Tetapi salah seorang "Tuan Alam Semesta" Wall Street, bilionair pengurusan aset Larry Fink melihat hantu lain dalam mesin itu. Menulis dalam surat tahunannya kepada pemegang saham BlackRock, CEO itu mengenal pasti ancaman yang jauh lebih besar daripada kemajuan teknologi kepada S&P 500. Sesuai dengan lelaki yang memainkan peranan utama dalam revolusi dana indeks, fikirannya tertumpu pada aset dan siapa yang memilikinya—atau tidak. Ketidaksamaan dan kekayaan keseluruhan adalah ancaman sebenar. Dengan nilai aset melonjak dalam beberapa dekad kebelakangan ini sementara gaji kebanyakannya tidak berkembang, ketidaksamaan kekayaan hanya akan menjadi lebih teruk, amaran Fink, yang kerap membangkitkan isu ini akhir-akhir ini. AI mengancam untuk memusatkan kekayaan bukan sahaja kepada mereka yang memiliki aset, jelasnya, tetapi juga kepada mereka yang menggunakan teknologi ini. "Sebahagian besar kekayaan telah mengalir kepada orang yang memiliki aset, bukan kepada orang yang memperoleh sebahagian besar wang mereka dengan bekerja," tulis Fink dalam surat tahunannya kepada pemegang saham pada hari Isnin. "Kini AI mengancam untuk mengulangi corak itu pada skala yang lebih besar—memusatkan kekayaan di kalangan syarikat dan pelabur yang berada dalam kedudukan untuk menangkapnya." Penyelidikan daripada Federal Reserve mendapati golongan berada dan tidak berada di Amerika jarang sekali berjauhan sejauh ini. Pada suku ketiga tahun lepas, jurang itu adalah yang terlebar sejak 1989, apabila Fed mula menjejaki perbezaan kekayaan isi rumah. 1% teratas memegang 31.7% kekayaan AS, setara dengan semua kekayaan yang dimiliki oleh 90% terbawah. Dengan kebanyakan kekayaan berpendapatan tinggi dipegang dalam aset dari saham hingga hartanah, ia menjadi semakin tidak boleh diakses oleh segmen rakyat Amerika yang semakin berkembang. Dan dengan pertumbuhan pesat serta penerimaan korporat terhadap kecerdasan buatan, trend itu berisiko untuk memecut, menurut Fink. Pulangan tidak sekata Produktiviti didorong AI berpotensi meningkatkan gaji secara keseluruhan, tetapi kebanyakan bukti setakat ini mencadangkan penerimaan AI telah meningkatkan gaji dalam kumpulan pekerjaan yang agak kecil, sementara kegembiraan di sekitar teknologi itu telah meningkatkan pasaran saham. Fink menulis bahawa sejak 1989, gaji median di AS telah ketinggalan berbanding pulangan pasaran saham dengan faktor 15. Kini, AI nampaknya paling berkemungkinan memanjangkan trend itu berbanding membalikkannya—sekurang-kurangnya dalam jangka pendek. Bagi orang yang tidak terdedah secara langsung kepada manfaatnya, jurang kekayaan mungkin tidak lama lagi kelihatan jauh lebih lebar. "Apabila permodalan pasaran meningkat tetapi pemilikan kekal sempit, kemakmuran boleh dirasakan semakin jauh bagi mereka yang berada di luar," tulis Fink. "Di sinilah sebahagian besar kebimbangan ekonomi hari ini berasal: perasaan lebih mendalam bahawa kapitalisme berfungsi—hanya tidak untuk cukup ramai orang." Dalam suratnya, Fink menggambarkan AI sebagai teknologi paling penting sekurang-kurangnya sejak komputer, namun tetap berisiko meningkatkan ketidaksamaan dengan ketara. Beliau memberi amaran bahawa AI boleh memusatkan kekayaan besar terutamanya di kalangan segelintir syarikat dan pelabur yang paling berada dalam kedudukan untuk menangkap nilainya. Ia boleh mempercepatkan "hasil berbentuk K" untuk ekonomi, tambahnya, di mana firma dan pelabur dengan akses lebih besar kepada modal mendapat manfaat daripada pertumbuhan lebih pantas, sementara mereka yang kurang terdedah kepada penilaian aset yang meningkat tidak berkembang, mendorong ketidaksamaan lebih jauh lagi. "Teknologi transformatif mencipta nilai yang besar—dan sebahagian besar nilai itu terkumpul kepada syarikat yang membina dan menggunakannya, dan kepada pelabur yang memilikinya," tulisnya. "Syarikat-syarikat yang mempunyai data, infrastruktur, dan modal untuk menggunakan AI pada skala besar berada dalam kedudukan untuk mendapat manfaat secara tidak seimbang." Data setakat ini nampaknya menyokong hujah Fink. AS semakin terperangkap dalam ekonomi yang disokong oleh pengguna kaya, menurut ketua ahli ekonomi Moody's Mark Zandi. Perbelanjaan daripada golongan berpendapatan tinggi telah melonjak dalam beberapa tahun kebelakangan, sementara isi rumah berpendapatan rendah dan sederhana melihat perbelanjaan budi bicara mereka perlahan atau malah mendatar. Trend itu menjadi lebih membimbangkan dengan penggunaan teknologi baru ini, kerana keuntungan didorong AI di pasaran saham adalah sebahagian besar keyakinan golongan berpendapatan tinggi, kata CEO Oxford Economics Innes McFee baru-baru ini kepada Fortune. Walaupun teknologi itu telah membawa kepada peningkatan 7% dalam kekayaan AS, manfaat itu hampir keseluruhannya terhad kepada isi rumah berpendapatan tinggi, katanya. Walaupun AI "sememangnya" boleh menyamakan ketidaksamaan kekayaan pada akhirnya, ia lebih berkemungkinan mengekalkan bentuk K ekonomi AS sekurang-kurangnya sehingga 2035, kata McFee. Trend yang sama kelihatan dalam pekerjaan. Setakat ini, peningkatan produktiviti berkaitan AI kebanyakannya dikhaskan untuk pekerja yang tugasnya memerlukan kemahiran berkaitan AI, peranan yang boleh menjangkakan premium gaji setinggi 43%. Tetapi bagi kebanyakan pekerjaan, AI masih belum diterjemahkan kepada peningkatan produktiviti atau gaji yang ketara, dan mungkin sebenarnya membawa kepada beban kerja yang lebih besar untuk pekerja yang ditugaskan menguruskan AI. Penyamarata jangka panjang? Dalam jangka panjang, kecekapan didorong AI boleh membawa kepada gaji yang lebih tinggi dan pertumbuhan pekerjaan di kalangan profesion berpendapatan rendah dalam sektor seperti pertanian dan pembuatan, berpotensi mengurangkan ketidaksamaan di negara yang sangat bergantung pada sektor tersebut, menurut pemodelan tahun lepas oleh PwC. Dan sesetengah pakar, termasuk penganalisis di Urban Institute, telah memperjuangkan program pendapatan asas sejagat yang mengambil royalti daripada syarikat AI sebagai langkah untuk mengurangkan ketidaksamaan. Tetapi buat masa ini, mendapat manfaat daripada AI memerlukan bekerja dalam peranan yang memerlukan kemahiran AI atau melabur secara kewangan dalam kisah pertumbuhannya. Dengan hampir 40% rakyat Amerika tidak terdedah kepada pasaran saham langsung, sebahagian besar populasi boleh terperangkap di luar, hanya memerhati.Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

Everpure Expands Tech Talent Pipeline Through Strategic Partnership with Rewriting the Code SeaPRwire

Everpure Expands Tech Talent Pipeline Through Strategic Partnership with Rewriting the Code

March 24, 2026
NORTHAMPTON, MA – 22/03/2026 – (SeaPRwire) – As the global technology sector faces increasing pressure to innovate while addressing talent shortages, companies are turning to more inclusive strategies to shape the workforce of the future. Everpure, through its social impact initiatives, is advancing this shift by building structured pathways for underrepresented women to access and thrive in technology careers. At the center of this effort is a growing partnership between Everpure and Rewriting the Code (RTC), a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting women in tech from diverse and historically excluded backgrounds. Together, they are addressing systemic gaps in representation, access, and early-career engagement—challenges that continue to limit both innovation and equity across the industry. The technology sector has long struggled with gender imbalance, particularly in technical roles. Limited access to opportunities, insufficient representation, and fragmented connections between academia and industry have contributed to a persistent gap. Everpure identified these challenges as critical barriers not only to social progress but also to sustainable business growth. To address these issues, Everpure, supported by the Pure Good Foundation, has implemented a multi-dimensional approach focused on experiential learning, mentorship, and financial investment. The initiative is designed to engage high-potential students early in their academic journeys, equipping them with the resources, networks, and confidence needed to transition into the workforce. RTC emerged as a strategic partner capable of bridging the gap between education and industry. What began as a modest volunteer effort has evolved into a comprehensive program that connects Everpure employees and executives with RTC members through conferences, mentorship programs, networking events, and career development initiatives. A defining feature of the collaboration is its emphasis on sustained engagement. Beyond providing funding, Everpure actively participates in RTC-led initiatives, hosting campus visits, contributing to executive panels, and facilitating mentorship opportunities tailored to students’ academic and career stages. This hands-on approach has enabled the company to build meaningful, long-term relationships with emerging talent. The impact of the partnership is evident in both qualitative and quantitative outcomes. Students gain exposure to real-world technology environments, including direct interaction with industry leaders and participation in major conferences. These experiences not only enhance technical understanding but also foster confidence and a stronger sense of belonging in a traditionally male-dominated field. Events such as Pure//Accelerate have become key platforms for experiential learning. Participants engage in keynote sessions, explore innovation showcases, and take part in structured mentoring discussions with senior executives. These interactions provide insights that extend beyond classroom learning, offering a clearer view of career pathways within the technology sector. For many participants, the experience is transformative. Students report increased confidence, expanded professional networks, and a deeper understanding of opportunities within the industry. At the same time, Everpure benefits from early access to a diverse pool of talent, strengthening its recruitment pipeline and enriching its organizational culture with new perspectives. The initiative also delivers value internally. Employees involved in mentorship and engagement activities gain exposure to emerging viewpoints on technology, including perspectives on artificial intelligence and workplace expectations from the next generation. This two-way exchange fosters a culture of continuous learning and innovation. Over time, relationships formed through the program often extend beyond formal events. Participants maintain ongoing connections with mentors and industry professionals, seeking guidance and exploring career opportunities. While direct hiring is not the primary objective, the partnership has naturally contributed to increased recruitment of women into internships and full-time roles. Looking ahead, Everpure and the Pure Good Foundation are exploring opportunities to expand the program’s global reach. With growing engagement in regions such as the United Kingdom, Ireland, and India, the partnership is positioned to scale its impact and further strengthen international talent pipelines. As organizations across industries reassess their approach to workforce development, Everpure’s collaboration with RTC highlights the potential of long-term, community-driven partnerships. By combining financial support, employee engagement, and strategic alignment, the initiative demonstrates how companies can play a meaningful role in shaping a more inclusive and future-ready technology workforce. Ultimately, the partnership reflects a broader commitment to breaking down barriers and creating equitable access to opportunity. As the program continues to evolve, both organizations remain focused on expanding its reach and deepening its impact—reinforcing the idea that meaningful change in the technology sector requires sustained collaboration and shared purpose.
