ICAO ANC Delegation Visits PVG: VariFlight's TAM Solution Takes Center Stage
SHANGHAI, July 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On July 8, a distinguished delegation from the International Civil Aviation Organization's (ICAO) Air Navigation Commission (ANC) arrived at Shanghai Pudong International Airport (PVG) for a technical exchange visit. This visit provided a prime opportunity to showcase PVG's remarkable achievements in digital transformation, with a particular focus on the Total Airport Management (TAM) solution — a groundbreaking intelligent system co-developed by VariFlight and PVG. Upon arrival, the delegation received an in-depth briefing on PVG's digital transformation journey, with emphasis on the TAM solution. As an AI-driven, agent-based operational model, the TAM solution seamlessly integrates various aspects of airport management, optimizing resource allocation, streamlining workflows, and enhancing overall operational performance—all critical for large-scale airports like PVG. The delegation expressed strong interest in and appreciation for the TAM solution's practical implementation. VariFlight, as the technical provider of TAM, was on hand to offer detailed explanations, demonstrating its deep understanding of the system's inner workings and its potential for further development. Mr. Junrong Liang, President of ICAO ANC, emphasized that ICAO closely monitors the development of artificial intelligence (AI) applications in aviation. He encouraged airports to share more digital and intelligent best practices with ICAO ANC, as these could support the development of globally applicable standards in the future. Following the meeting, the ANC delegation visited the airside operations area of PVG to observe a live demonstration of autonomous baggage tractors. Under the TAM system, the intelligent Surface Management Agent (SURF Agent) and Ground Management Agent (GMAN Agent) enabled real-time collaboration between systems and vehicles, significantly enhancing the safety and efficiency of autonomous ground operations.

X calls French foreign interference probe ‘politically motivated'
X complained of bias in French authorities' choice of experts to examine its algorithm. (EPA Images pic) PARIS : A French probe into alleged foreign interference and bias via the algorithm at Elon Musk-owned social network X is 'politically motivated', the company said in a post today, adding that it was refusing to cooperate. 'X believes that this investigation is distorting French law in order to serve a political agenda and, ultimately, restrict free speech,' the social network said. It added that it 'has not acceded to the French authorities' demands' to access its recommendation algorithm and real-time data, 'as we have a legal right to do'. Cybercrime prosecutors announced the opening of the probe on July 11 into suspected crimes including manipulating and extracting data from automated systems 'as part of a criminal gang'. The move followed two complaints received in January about 'foreign interference' in French politics via X – one of them from Eric Bothorel, an MP from president Emmanuel Macron's centrist party. Bothorel had complained of 'reduced diversity of voices and options' and Musk's 'personal interventions' on the network since his 2022 takeover of the former Twitter. The Tesla and SpaceX chief has raised hackles in Europe with political sallies, including vocal backing for the far-right Alternative for Germany (AfD) party ahead of February legislative elections. 'Democracy is too fragile to let digital platform owners tell us what to think, who to vote for or even who to hate,' Bothorel said after the investigation was announced. The company responded today saying, 'Mr Bothorel has accused X of manipulating its algorithm for 'foreign interference' purposes, an allegation which is completely false.' Prosecutors have not confirmed whether they are also investigating under a French law against foreign interference in politics passed last year. X also complained of bias in French authorities' choice of experts to examine its algorithm, including mathematician David Chavalarias and computer scientist Maziyar Panahi. Both have been involved in a scheme called 'HelloQuitteX', designed to make it easier for users to migrate their X presence to other social networks. Picking them 'raises serious concerns about the impartiality, fairness and political motivations of the investigation', the company said. It also objected to the use of the 'organised gang' aggravating circumstance. The characterisation 'is usually reserved for drug cartels or mafia groups' and 'enables the French police to deploy extensive investigative powers… including wiretapping the personal devices of X employees', the company said.

Microsoft hack likely by single actor, thousands of firms now vulnerable
Microsoft issued an alert about 'active attacks' on its SharePoint servers on Saturday. (EPA Images pic) LONDON : A global attack on Microsoft server software used by thousands of government agencies and businesses to share documents within organisations is likely the work of a single actor, a cybersecurity researcher said today. Microsoft on Saturday issued an alert about 'active attacks' on SharePoint servers used within organisations. It said that SharePoint Online in Microsoft 365, which is in the cloud, was not hit by the exploit, also known as a 'zero day' because it was previously unknown to cybersecurity researchers. 'Based on the consistency of the tradecraft seen across observed attacks, the campaign launched on Friday appears to be a single actor. However, it's possible that this will quickly change,' Rafe Pilling, director of threat intelligence at Sophos, a British cybersecurity firm. That tradecraft included the sending of the same digital payload to multiple targets, Pilling added. Microsoft said it had 'provided security updates and encourages customers to install them', a company spokesman said in an emailed statement. It was not clear who was behind the ongoing hack. The FBI said yesterday it was aware of the attacks and was working closely with its federal and private-sector partners, but offered no other details. Britain's national cyber security centre did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The Washington Post said unidentified actors in the past few days had exploited a flaw to launch an attack that targeted US and international agencies and businesses. According to data from Shodan, a search engine that helps to identify internet-linked equipment, over 8,000 servers online could theoretically have already been compromised by hackers. Those servers include major industrial firms, banks, auditors, healthcare companies, and several US state-level and international government entities. 'The SharePoint incident appears to have created a broad level of compromise across a range of servers globally,' said Daniel Card of British cybersecurity consultancy, PwnDefend. 'Taking an assumed breach approach is wise, and it's also important to understand that just applying the patch isn't all that is required here.'
