EU transparency rules for general-purpose AI take effect
While individuals can sue AI providers under the new law, enforcement by the European AI Office will only begin later. — REUTERS/Yves Herman//File Photo BRUSSELS: New transparency rules for general-purpose artificial intelligence (AI) models such as ChatGPT and Gemini came into effect across the European Union on Saturday, as part of the bloc's landmark AI Act adopted last year. Under the new rules, developers must disclose how their models work and what data was used to train them. Particularly advanced models, seen as posing potential risks to the public, are also required to document safety measures. General-purpose AI refers to systems that can be used for a wide range of purposes, such as generating text, analysing language, or writing code. The legislation aims in part to bolster copyright protections. Developers must now report the sources of their training data and whether they used automated web scraping. They are also required to outline steps taken to safeguard intellectual property and establish contact points for rights holders. However, several associations representing authors, artists and publishers have criticised the law for not going far enough. In a joint statement, the German-based Initiative Urheberrecht, a copyrights advocacy group, argued the rules remain ineffective without a requirement to name specific datasets or domains. While individuals can sue AI providers under the new law, enforcement by the European AI Office will only begin later. The office will supervise new models from August 2026 and models released before August 2, 2025 starting in August 2027. Violations could result in fines of up to €15mil (RM73.2mil) or 3% of global annual sales. To ease compliance, the European Commission also issued voluntary guidelines and a code of conduct. Google, developer of the Gemini model, said it intends to sign the code, though it warned the regulation could stifle innovation. – dpa

Top 5 Zodiac Signs That Are Most Addicted to Their Phones
Smartphones have become an essential part of modern life. Whether it's catching up with friends, scrolling social media, gaming, binge-watching, or just seeking information, our screen time keeps growing. But have you ever noticed that some people simply can't stay away from their phones? As always, astrology has an answer! Your zodiac sign may have a bigger influence on your digital habits than you think. So, who are the true phone addicts of the zodiac? Let's count down the top five signs that simply can't put their phones down. 1. Gemini Phone Addiction Level: Off the Charts Geminis are ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication. For them, a phone isn't just a device—it's a lifeline. Geminis are famous for their fast-paced minds, endless curiosity, and a love for connecting with others. They thrive on staying in touch, hopping from one chat group to another, juggling texts, calls, DMs, and never-ending memes. A typical Gemini can be found updating their status, researching the latest trends, and keeping up with friends across multiple platforms—all at once! They get bored easily, so their phones are their ticket to non-stop stimulation and fresh information. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dementia Has Been Linked To a Common Habit.

Phones provide Aries with an endless stream of excitement, from fast-paced games to viral challenges and trending topics. Aries hates waiting, so instant replies, real-time news, and immediate entertainment are exactly their style. They love group chats, quick updates, and anything competitive or interactive on their phones. Aries may get restless without a steady stream of pings and notifications. Their impulsive nature means they're always checking for what's next, whether it's the latest meme or a new app to try.

Libra Phone Addiction Level: High Libras, ruled by Venus, are the natural diplomats and socialites of the zodiac. For them, the phone is a bridge to relationships, beauty, and harmony. Libras love connecting with friends, organising group outings, and keeping everyone happy. Social media is their playground, where they share stylish photos, respond to comments, and keep the conversation going. Libras also use their phones to seek inspiration—from fashion tips to recipes to new art trends. They can spend hours curating the perfect feed and keeping up with everyone's stories. Their biggest fear? Missing out on a friend's update or an exciting event. Real-life scenario: The friend who always organises parties, tags you in every relevant post, and somehow keeps every group chat alive and positive. 5. Aquarius Phone Addiction Level: Moderately High Aquarius, ruled by Uranus, is all about innovation and connection. While they may not be glued to their phones for gossip or selfies, they are obsessed with technology and information. Aquarians use their phones for exploring new apps, joining online forums, researching topics, and connecting with like-minded souls across the globe. They're early adopters, always eager to try the latest gadget, social network, or productivity hack. Aquarius is often the first to discover a cool new app or digital trend. Their curiosity and love for ideas mean their phones are always within reach, though they may go offline when something truly exciting in the real world grabs their attention. Real-life scenario: The friend who knows all the best new apps, sends you links to TED talks, and invites you to join niche online communities.

TCS layoffs show Indian IT giants have missed the bus, job loss and pain ahead
Unless you are living a life without a smartphone, you must already be aware of it — TCS has announced that it will be reducing its headcount by 12,000 employees. The company is not explicitly saying that it is because of AI tools like Claude and Gemini, which are fairly competent at some of the work we do in our offices, but read between the lines and it becomes TCS layoffs mark the beginning of an era where tools like ChatGPT can do enough work to make teams after teams, and employees after employees, redundant and unnecessary. This does not mean that IT jobs will vanish. It only means that we are in for a choppy ride. And by we, I mean people in India, the country that benefited greatly from the last three decades when the entire world turned into some sort of code and a country, we have ridden an IT wave because of our familiarity with English, a culture of following instructions to the T, and the availability of millions of coders who are willing to work 60 hours a week at 1/10th the salary that someone in the US would demand. In other words, before there was Claude, ChatGPT and Gemini — AI tools that are familiar with English, can follow instructions, and are cheap to run — there was your average Indian coder, almost like a human AI who could be trusted to follow guidelines and libraries created by the cracked engineers in Silicon Valley, and then do boring and repetitive tasks. Now, the same coder is at the risk of losing their job. The real AI is here. It is even cheaper and more in the late 18th and 19th centuries, machines replaced manual work. This was catastrophic for skilled manual labourers — think weavers — and horses. To keep society intact, the world invented knowledge work, elaborate bureaucracies, and the service industry. In the early 21st century, we are at a point where AI tools are good enough to replace knowledge work and disrupt the service industry. Again, it is going to be catastrophic for a lot of people, though horses will be spared this time. The Indian government, along with other governments, will soften the blow with new policies and probably more bureaucracy. But the hammer will fall in the coming years, and pain will be is also the pain that, in some ways, TCL, Infosys, Wipro, HCL, Tech Mahindra and their ilk deserve. Despite a huge opportunity open to them in the last 20 years, they have been happy doing the unimaginative and lazy work and have kept billing their rich or unsuspecting clients for Valley creates libraries, programming languages and products. Indian coders use and service them. Instead of building novel expertise, the biggest flex of Indian IT giants has been to hire coders from Pilani at a salary that is less than that of a Starbucks barista in San Francisco. In other words, they have focused on arbitrage instead of building something unique. Their profits have not been invested in R&D or product has been synonymous with servicing the tech industry, but only because the rest of the world, for whatever reasons, doesn't seem too enthusiastic about it. Europe, still flush with money from the colonial era and from intellectual property, doesn't want this Korea, China and Asian island nations until now did not have enough familiarity with English to do it on the scale India could. Skilled labour in the US is too pricey. The rest of the world just doesn't have enough knowledge, workers or stability to do what India managed in Bengaluru and is a bit of luck that made India an IT powerhouse and not necessarily our abilities. Though, it can be argued that a degree of luck, whether we are talking about individuals or societies, is needed for any tragedy of India is that, despite the initial luck, due to which it reaped rich rewards for several decades, the IT giants of our country have been completely vision-less and risk-averse. Instead of realising their good fortune and working to build on it, they believe in their fantasy of being the genius IT giants. And now, when the tide is turning, our IT industry doesn't have a good anchor that can stabilise compare it with China. In manufacturing, as the factories shifted from Europe and the US to Asia, a number of Chinese and Korean companies quickly became large OEMs, somewhat like how Indian IT companies became support arms for the global IT the 1990s, the Chinese took the IP, research and design from Western companies and made products for them. But they did not stay OEMs. In a few years, they became product companies in their own right, first domestically and then globally. From BYD to Oppo, they all started as makers of parts or products for others. But gradually they expanded, with a vision to be manufacturers of something Indian IT giant has made a transition like this. In a country famed for its supposed IT prowess, we don't have a proper operating system for phones or computers that we can call our own. In fact, in a country of IT giants, we don't have a locally-made media player, a chat app, a browser, even a proper video game, or maybe a file explorer that is as good as or better than its global counterparts. Even in the late 2010s, when it became clear that the next wave in tech is going to be around AI, Indian IT giants kept slumbering. It's not that they did not have money. They have plenty of profits coming in. But they had no vision. They never had any vision beyond the the chickens are coming home to roost. When you build an industry on the basis of arbitrage, sooner or later, it is going to be upended. This is what is happening in 2025 and will only gather a week or so, OpenAI is expected to launch ChatGPT 5 and there is chatter that this one is specifically going to be great at coding, better than even the Claude Opus 4, which is already considered a coding tool as good as an entry-level software it another three to four years and the kind of work that our IT giants do will be manageable by AI systems. Humans will still be required, particularly for complex, challenging and novel work. But for that work, you may not need 10,000 employees. It could be the kind of work that employees do at Nvidia, an almost $4 trillion company, but with just 26,000 comparison, TCS has over 6 lakh employees. A lot of these employees are going to find that in the next two to three years, ChatGPT will be able to do their work faster, more efficiently and cheaper.(Javed Anwer is Technology Editor, India Today Group Digital.
