Meta appoints Arun Srinivas as India head
Meta Platforms said on Monday that Arun Srinivas has been appointed as the managing director and head for Meta in India, effective July 1.
Srinivas currently heads the tech giant's India ads business, according to his LinkedIn profile.
His appointment comes at a time when Meta and Indian authorities have locked horns regarding allegations of the tech firm's anti-competitive practices in the country.
In November, the Competition Commission of India (CCI) had fined the company over antitrust violations and restricted popular messaging platform WhatsApp - which Meta owns - from sharing user data with other Meta-owned applications for advertising purposes for a period of five years.
Meta had disagreed with the CCI's order and had warned of a hit to its business. It won a major relief earlier this year when an Indian tribunal temporarily suspended the five-year data sharing ban.

China's humanoid robots generate more football excitement than their human counterparts
BEIJING: While China's men's football team hasn't generated much excitement in recent years, humanoid robot teams have won over fans in Beijing based more on the AI technology involved than any athletic prowess shown. Four teams of humanoid robots faced off in fully autonomous 3-on-3 football matches powered entirely by artificial intelligence on Saturday (Jun 28) night in China's capital in what was touted as a first in China and a preview for the upcoming World Humanoid Robot Games, set to take place in Beijing. According to the organisers, a key aspect of the match was that all the participating robots operated fully autonomously using AI-driven strategies without any human intervention or supervision. Equipped with advanced visual sensors, the robots were able to identify the ball and navigate the field with agility They were also designed to stand up on their own after falling. However, during the match several still had to be carried off the field on stretchers by staff, adding to the realism of the experience. China is stepping up efforts to develop AI-powered humanoid robots, using sports competitions like marathons, boxing, and football as a real-world proving ground. Cheng Hao, founder and CEO of Booster Robotics, the company that supplied the robot players, said sports competitions offer the ideal testing ground for humanoid robots, helping to accelerate the development of both algorithms and integrated hardware-software systems. He also emphasised safety as a core concern in the application of humanoid robots. 'In the future, we may arrange for robots to play football with humans. That means we must ensure the robots are completely safe,' Cheng said. 'For example, a robot and a human could play a match where winning doesn't matter, but real offensive and defensive interactions take place. That would help audiences build trust and understand that robots are safe.' Booster Robotics provided the hardware for all four university teams, while each school's research team developed and embedded their own algorithms for perception, decision-making, player formations, and passing strategies—including variables such as speed, force, and direction, according to Cheng. In the final match, Tsinghua University's THU Robotics defeated the China Agricultural University's Mountain Sea team with a score of 5–3 to win the championship. Mr Wu, a supporter of Tsinghua, celebrated their victory while also praising the competition. 'They (THU) did really well,' he said. 'But the Mountain Sea team (of Agricultural University) was also impressive. They brought a lot of surprises.'

Commentary: China's AI dragons risk choking each other
TOKYO: It's a story that has played out many times in the history of China's tech sector. Notoriously fierce competition means that whenever a new craze comes along, scores of rivals emerge ready to pounce. Firms are then locked in a race to the bottom when it comes to pricing. The food delivery wars forced out smaller players over the years and led bubble tea – another consumer fad fallen prey – to be sold this month for as little as 1.68 yuan (less than US$0.25). A similar cutthroat market has left behind a trail of zombie cars in the electric vehicle sector. Now the same forces are in full swing in the booming artificial intelligence industry. The stakes could not be higher. The government is betting that the technology will uplift swaths of the economy. Eager to not be left behind, AI startups, including the so-called Little Dragons, are awash with funding, and even the Big Tech companies like Alibaba are going all-in. INTENSE COMPETITION For now, AI firms in China are focused on the tech industry's classic playbook: scaling up userbases and racing for market share. But a key difference this time around is that nobody has actually cracked the key to getting consumers to pay. DeepSeek and open-sourcing breakthroughs have made some headway in cutting down on costs, but eventually something will have to give. It has all undoubtedly spurred a vibrant innovation ecosystem and the widespread adoption of AI applications. But it has also forced players to slash prices and even offer services for free, making the industry's path to monetisation uncertain. The intense competition means the biggest risk for Chinese AI firms may not be Washington's chip curbs or other external factors, but each other. It represents a stark contrast to the dominance of a few large players in Silicon Valley. For example, China's top 10 global AI chatbots generated just US$1 million in revenue from Apple's iOS app store in the last 12 months ending in May, Bloomberg Intelligence analysts wrote in a note last week. Most of this came from Baidu's Ernie Bot, which stopped charging consumers in March. By contrast, OpenAI's ChatGPT bot alone garnered iOS revenue of $669 million in the same period. The dilemma has been simmering for a while. At a tech conference last year, Baidu CEO Robin Li criticised the abundance of AI models in China, complaining of a 'significant waste of resources, particularly computing power'. At the same conference, the CEO of MiniMax, one of the Little Dragons, predicted a major consolidation on the horizon. NOBODY WILLING TO BACK OUT OF THE RAT RACE An industry concentration would help ameliorate some of the pressures. But instead, the release of DeepSeek's market-moving reasoning model earlier this year has only spurred fresh pandemonium. Nobody seems willing to back out of the rat race anytime soon. There were more than 3,700 registered generative AI tools operating in China, according to one analysis of government registration data as of April, and cyberspace administrators were approving roughly 250 to 300 new products per month. Not all will survive. Some firms may be tempted to seek growth abroad. But geopolitical realities may get in the way of making it in overseas markets, where consumers have shown more willingness to pay for AI services. Already, countries from Australia to Italy are restricting the use of DeepSeek or banning it on government devices. There was brief hope that the rise of AI agents would offer a way to differentiate a company's products, but even this has already become a crowded field. This puts the Little Dragons at higher risk. Tech giants like Alibaba, ByteDance and Tencent have more resources to play the long game, especially in a sector marked by high costs for chips and computing resources. Official support and insatiable hype remains a strong propellant of China's AI sector. A former top official predicted earlier this week that the nation is on the cusp of generating more than 100 DeepSeek-like breakthroughs. But in the long run, it seems just as likely to produce at least a hundred zombie chatbots or AI agents.

What is Canada's Digital Services Tax and Why It Sparked a Trade War With US?
Trade tensions between the United States and Canada reached a boiling point this week as President Donald Trump abruptly ended trade negotiations in response to Canada's Digital Services Tax (DST). Trump described the tax as "a direct and blatant attack" on American businesses and warned that new tariffs on Canadian goods would be imposed within a week. Canada confirmed it will enforce the DST starting Monday, following months of tense discussions. The tax was introduced under the Trudeau government in June 2024 and applies a 3% levy on revenue earned by large digital firms—particularly those with over €750 million in global revenue and more than $20 million in Canadian digital sales. This move primarily targets major US tech firms like Amazon, Google, Meta, and Uber, with retroactive application to January 2022, creating a US$2 billion bill due by the end of June. Under Canadian law, companies are required to register with the Canada Revenue Agency by January 31, 2025, and file returns by June 30, 2025. Penalties include fines of $20,000 per year for failure to register, and late filing could result in additional financial penalties of up to 5% plus 1% monthly interest. Trump reacted strongly, ending trade discussions and stating on social media that Canada would regret its decision. He asserted, "We have such power over Canada. They were foolish to do it." Trump insisted Canada would eventually retract the tax but made clear he was indifferent to their decision. The tax has long been a sore point for US policymakers who claim it unfairly singles out American digital companies. Industry leaders welcomed Trump's firm approach. Matt Schruers of the Computer & Communications Industry Association praised the administration's move, saying it protected US digital exports from discriminatory treatment. In response to the DST, tech companies have started passing costs to Canadian customers. Google, for example, introduced a "Canada DST Fee" of 2.5% on ads purchased in the country. Despite US pressure, Canada remains resolute. Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne confirmed the government is moving forward, and Prime Minister Mark Carney stated negotiations will continue but only on Canada's terms. Canada relies heavily on trade with the US, with nearly 80% of its exports heading south. It is also America's top foreign supplier of oil, uranium, steel, and electricity. The highly integrated auto sector could be significantly affected by any new tariffs. This dispute is not isolated. The US had earlier initiated consultations under the US-Mexico-Canada Agreement regarding the DST. Canadian business groups have warned of potential harm to both economies if the situation escalates.
