Anwar wants laws to protect local creative works from AI threats
SHAH ALAM: Prime Minister Datuk Seri Anwar Ibrahim has called on the Digital Ministry and the Communications Ministry to draft legislation to protect the copyrights and authenticity of local creative works uploaded to online platforms. This, said Anwar, was crucial to ensure local content is safeguarded from various threats, particularly as the country navigates challenges arising from the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI). "The (copyright) guarantee must not only apply to cartoonists, but also to films, poetry, and other works that sometimes (could) cripple the strength of creativity and an artist's ability to create. "As such, there must also be legal provisions by the Digital Ministry and the Communications Ministry to ensure that our country's (creative work) does not simply follow the mould set by others, only to then become trapped, losing our identity, values, and the virtues that should be nurtured here," he said. Anwar said this in his speech during the launch of the book "Melukis dengan Hati: Biografi Perjalanan Seni 50 Tahun" by Zunar here today. He said ethical and cultural considerations, as well as values, must be central to the nation's AI development policy. "In our national policy on AI, we do not sideline or separate the issue of values. And it's quite interesting and well-known that with companies like Infineon, Google, Microsoft - whenever I meet their leaders, I always ask them: how should they respond? "Without exception, they all admit that AI is a new technology. But they also acknowledge that whatever is produced or 'spit out' by AI depends on what is fed into it. "And what is being fed into it right now through ChatGPT and other platforms is largely shaped by Western countries, especially the United States, China, and others. "So, if we want to ensure that AI also emphasises the question of values and addresses concerns in line with our religious beliefs, our faith, our culture, and our diversity, then we must train our children in the field of AI, including those who aspire to be cartoonists," he said. He said they must first master the knowledge, and then incorporate elements of culture, religion, and values, so that what is produced by these machines reflects the Malaysian perspective.

Slkor Launches High-Voltage Automotive-Grade LDO Regulator SL4275 with Integrated Reset Function
Slkor offers alternative replacement - SL4275 - for Infineon TLE4275 55V, 800mA Linear Voltage Regulators. Slkor today introduces the SL4275, a robust 5V low-dropout ( LDO ) voltage regulator designed for automotive and industrial systems requiring high input voltage tolerance. This monolithic 5-pin TO-package device supports inputs up to 55V and delivers 450mA of output current, featuring integrated short-circuit, over-temperature, and undervoltage reset protection. Engineered for reliability in harsh environments, the SL4275 targets applications such as infotainment, ADAS, body control modules, and industrial power systems including power tools and battery packs. Critical Performance for Demanding Applications In automotive scenarios, stable voltage regulation during cold-crank conditions and load transients is essential. The SL4275 ensures ±2% output accuracy (5.0V nominal) with ultra-low quiescent current (80µA), minimizing power drain in always-on systems. Its dedicated reset function monitors output stability: when VQ falls below 4.65V, the RQ pin asserts a low-level reset signal, with delay time programmable via an external capacitor (D pin). This safeguards microcontrollers and communication interfaces during brown-out events. Comprehensive Protection for System Integrity The SL4275 integrates multilayer protection to handle automotive electrical hazards: ● Short-to-battery/ground resilience via current-limiting control and thermal shutdown ● Reverse current blocking through internal MOS design ● Stability assurance with output capacitors (CQ ≥ 22µF, ESR ≤ 5Ω) ● Robust trace compensation is achieved using an input capacitor (CI), enabling reliable operation across -40°C to +125°C ambient temperatures. Enhanced Design Flexibility The regulator's low dropout voltage maximizes efficiency in battery-connected systems. Its reset delay programmability supports custom power sequencing, while the 5-pin TO package (TO-220/TO-252 variants) enables flexible thermal management. The device meets RoHS compliance and is optimized for space-constrained industrial designs including e-bikes and telematics controllers.

NorCal native Kyle Larson aims for historic repeat at Toyota SaveMart 350 in Sonoma
SONOMA — Kyle Larson achieved a lifetime dream when he won NASCAR's Toyota SaveMart 350 for a second time last year at Infineon Raceway, about 90 minutes southwest of where he grew up. Now the Elk Grove native will attempt to reach another milestone and become the second driver within the last 25 years to repeat as champion at the 1.99 mile road course near the heart of wine country on Sunday. Getting back-to-back wins there won't be easy. Neither was Larson's victory in 2024. After a rough afternoon dropped him well back in the pack late in the race, Larson was in 23rd place on the final restart and maneuvered his way to the front to win despite leading only 19 laps. It was Larson's fourth time celebrating in the winner's circle at his hometown track. He also won the Cup Series race at Infineon in 2021 and captured a victory there as part of the Winston West Series in 2014. Larson's win at Infineon last season kept him in the thick of the points race, a spot he finds himself in again as the series comes to California. With three wins this season Larson is in third place with 613 points, trailing leader William Byron (632) and Chase Elliott (619), each of whom has won once this season. While Larson is chasing a spot in the record books, Byron is trying to keep what began as a serious run toward the season-long title from completely spinning out of control. The 27-year-old — who finished 30th at the Toyota SaveMart 350 in 2024 — has been the most consistent driver on the circuit, garnering seven top-five finishes in 19 races including a repeat win at the Daytona 500 in February. Things have gone in the wrong direction for Byron lately. He's had a pair of DNFs and finished a disappointing 40th at last week's Chicago Street Race, where he had mechanical issues and made it through only one lap. That created a logjam atop the Cup standings, with 43 points separating the top four drivers. Larson and Byron are just two of the subplots that will be swirling in Sonoma. Martin Truex Jr., the Toyota SaveMart 350 victor in 2023, is attempting to win his fifth race overall at the Sonoma track, something that only former Vallejoan Jeff Gordon has done in the Cup Series. Ironically, Elliott has the most experience winning on road courses — his seven victories on them are tops among current drivers — yet hasn't been able to tame Sonoma. He's winless in eight races at the track, his best finish being runner-up to Larson in 2021. On the other end of the spectrum is Shane van Gisbergen. The New Zealand native is 27th in points, 324 points behind Byron. Yet in short fashion he's become one of the top road course drivers in the Cup Series who many view as a favorite to win this weekend. Van Gisbergen, who won the Xfinity Series race at Infineon last year, was the winner when the Cup Series went to Mexico in June then pulled a sweep last weekend in Chicago when he won both the Xfinity and Cup races. Van Gisbergen won the race in Mexico City by more than 16 seconds, the largest margin of victory on a road course in 45 years. Another driver worth watching is Katherine Legge, a 44-year-old British racer who finished a career-best 19 th place in Chicago despite a few mishaps along the way. In doing so, Legge became the first woman since Danica Patrick in 2017 to finish in the top 20 of a NASCAR Cup Series race.
