The former crypto executive was sentenced to 25 years in prison after prosecutors accused him of misappropriating billions of dollars in customer funds
MUMBAI: Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) has renewed its lease for nearly 15 lakh sq ft of office space in Chennai in a transaction with rental outgo of around Rs 1,420 crore over its total tenure of 10 years, underscoring the country’s largest IT services company’s long-term commitment to one of its key delivery hubs.This ranks among the largest office lease renewals and occupier commitments reported anywhere in India. The transaction assumes significance against the backdrop of growing concerns over the impact of artificial intelligence on employment in the technology sector.Several global and Indian IT companies have highlighted productivity gains from AI-led automation in recent quarters, fuelling debates around potential workforce rationalisation and slower hiring.The lease has been signed for space at Chennai One IT SEZ in Thoraipakkam. The agreement commenced on November 1, and covers a chargeable area of 14.66 lakh sq ft, showed documents accessed through Propstack, a realty data analytics platform.TCS will occupy the first to eighth floors across four towers in Block A (Alpha), along with the first, sixth, seventh, eighth and eleventh floors in Block B (Magnum). The leased premises have a carpet area of 11.29 lakh sq ft.The lease has been signed at a starting rental of Rs 70 per sq ft a month, translating into a monthly rental payment of about Rs 10.26 crore. The agreement carries a tenure of 10 years and is backed by a security deposit of Rs 94.64 crore.The lease agreement provides for a 12% escalation in rentals every three years. Based on the contracted rentals and the escalation structure, the total rental commitment over the 10-year tenure is estimated at approximately Rs 1,420 crore.ET’s email query to TCS remained unanswered until the time of going to press.TCS’ decision to retain and renew this nearly 1.5 million sq ft of office space for a decade signals continued confidence in its long-term operational footprint and workforce presence.Chennai continues to remain one of India’s most important technology markets, housing large campuses of domestic and multinational IT companies. The city’s established talent pool, relatively lower operating costs and robust office infrastructure have helped it maintain its position as a preferred destination for technology occupiers. The renewal comes at a time when India's office market continues to witness strong demand from technology firms, global capability centres (GCCs), financial services companies and engineering firms, driving sustained leasing activity across key markets.While artificial intelligence is reshaping workforce strategies and operational models, large occupiers continue to retain and expand their real estate footprints in major business hubs. Long-term lease renewals and large-format transactions have remained a key feature of the market, reflecting occupiers' preference for securing high-quality office assets in established micro-markets with access to talent, infrastructure and business ecosystems.

Anthropic Reuters via BBC Nas últimas semanas, o mundo da inteligência artificial tem andado em polvorosa após alegações feitas pela empresa líder Anthropic sobre seu novo modelo, Claude Mythos. A empresa afirma ter descoberto que a ferramenta pode superar humanos em algumas tarefas de hacking e segurança cibernética — o que levou reguladores, parlamentares e instituições financeiras a discutirem os perigos que ela poderia representar para serviços digitais. Várias gigantes da tecnologia receberam acesso ao Mythos por meio de uma iniciativa chamada Project Glasswing, concebida para reforçar a resiliência contra o próprio Mythos. A Anthropic anunciou esta semana que vai estender o acesso ao Mythos para outras 150 instituições em setores diversos, como energia, água, saúde, comunicações e equipamentos. Novos parceiros precisarão atender a requisitos de segurança antes de obterem acesso ao modelo. Alguns analistas ainda são mais céticos sobre a capacidade do Mythos e dizem que é do interesse da Anthropic sugerir que ela possui uma ferramenta com habilidades nunca antes vistas. O tema também causou medo no sistema financeiro e chegou a ser abordado em reunião do FMI em Washington envolvendo autoridades internacionais. Na prática — como costuma acontecer com a IA — a tarefa de distinguir entre fatos e exageros é complicada. O que é o Claude Mythos? O Mythos é um dos modelos mais recentes da Anthropic, desenvolvido como parte de seu sistema de IA mais amplo chamado Claude. Ele engloba o assistente de IA e a família de modelos da empresa, rivalizando com o ChatGPT da OpenAI e o Gemini do Google. Ele foi apresentado pela Anthropic no início de abril como "Mythos Preview". Pesquisadores que testam como modelos de IA lidam com solicitações ou tarefas específicas, conhecidos como "red teams", disseram em um relatório que o Mythos era "incrivelmente capaz em tarefas de segurança de computadores". Eles descobriram que a ferramenta poderia localizar bugs inativos escondidos em códigos de décadas atrás e explorá-los com facilidade. Em vez de disponibilizá-lo amplamente aos utilizadores do Claude, a Anthropic concedeu acesso a 12 empresas de tecnologia por meio do Project Glasswing, que descreveu como "um esforço para proteger sistemas essenciais de software". Entre elas estão a gigante de computação em nuvem Amazon Web Services, os fabricantes de dispositivos Apple, Microsoft e Google, e os fabricantes de chips Nvidia e Broadcom. A Crowdstrike, cuja atualização defeituosa de software causou uma grande interrupção global em julho de 2024, também está entre os parceiros do projeto, e a Anthropic afirma ter concedido acesso ao Mythos a mais de 40 organizações responsáveis por softwares considerados críticos. Em um vídeo divulgado junto com o lançamento do Project Glasswing, o chefe da Anthropic, Dario Amodei, disse que a empresa se ofereceu para trabalhar com funcionários do governo dos EUA a fim de "ajudar a se defender contra o risco desses modelos". Por que existem preocupações? A Anthropic afirma que, durante os testes, descobriu que o modelo é altamente habilidoso em tarefas de segurança cibernética e hacking, superando humanos. "O Mythos Preview já encontrou milhares de vulnerabilidades de alta gravidade, incluindo algumas em todos os principais sistemas operacionais e navegadores web", afirmou a Anthropic em 7 de abril. "Dada a velocidade do progresso da IA, não demorará muito para que tais capacidades se disseminem, potencialmente além de agentes comprometidos com seu uso seguro." A empresa disse que ele poderia localizar — com pouca supervisão — falhas críticas que exigem ação imediata em sistemas antigos, incluindo uma vulnerabilidade que esteve presente em um sistema por 27 anos, e sugerir maneiras de explorá-las. Desde então, alguns ministros das finanças, banqueiros centrais e executivos do setor financeiro expressaram sérias preocupações, temendo que o modelo possa comprometer a segurança dos sistemas financeiros. O ministro das Finanças do Canadá, François-Philippe Champagne, disse à BBC que o Mythos foi discutido em uma reunião do Fundo Monetário Internacional (FMI) em Washington em abril. "Certamente é sério o suficiente para merecer a atenção de todos os ministros das Finanças", disse ele. O diretor do Banco da Inglaterra, Andrew Bailey, disse à BBC: "Temos de analisar com muito cuidado agora o que esse desenvolvimento recente da IA pode significar para o risco de crime cibernético." A União Europeia disse que também está em discussões com a Anthropic sobre suas preocupações relacionadas ao Mythos. Em maio, o bloco europeu recebeu acesso à ferramenta. O que dizem os especialistas cibernéticos? Ciaran Martin, ex-chefe do Centro Nacional de Segurança Cibernética do Reino Unido, disse à BBC no início desta semana que a alegação de que o Mythos poderia descobrir vulnerabilidades críticas muito mais rapidamente do que outros modelos de IA "realmente abalou as pessoas". "A segunda questão é que, mesmo com vulnerabilidades existentes que conhecemos, mas contra as quais as organizações podem não ter aplicado correções ou podem não estar bem defendidas, ele é simplesmente um hacker muito bom", disse ele. Muitos analistas independentes e especialistas em segurança cibernética ainda não puderam testar o Mythos por conta própria, e alguns permanecem céticos quanto ao seu desempenho. O Instituto de Segurança em IA do Reino Unido concluiu recentemente que, embora se trate de um modelo muito poderoso, sua maior ameaça seria contra sistemas mal protegidos e vulneráveis. "Não podemos afirmar com certeza se o Mythos Preview seria capaz de atacar sistemas bem protegidos", disseram seus pesquisadores. Para eles, onde há boas práticas de cibersegurança, esse modelo, em teoria, seria contido. A italiana Valentina Palmiotti — mais conhecida como Chompie — participa de torneios internacionais de hacking ético, em que competidores ganham dinheiro encontrando vulnerabilidades em sistemas de segurança antes que elas possam ser exploradas por cibercriminosos. Ela disse à BBC que seus dias de competição podem estar contados devido à ascensão de ferramentas de IA como o Claude Mythos. Devemos nos preocupar? Os medos relacionados à IA não são novidade. Novos modelos e ferramentas estão surgindo o tempo todo e geralmente são acompanhados por promessas de revolucionar nossas vidas — para melhor ou para pior. Aproveitar essa mistura de medo e entusiasmo sobre a IA e seu impacto futuro também se tornou uma marca registrada do setor e de suas estratégias de marketing nos últimos anos. No caso da Mythos, ainda não sabemos o suficiente para entender se essas esperanças ou temores são justificados, ou mais um reflexo do entusiasmo que cerca o setor. Em ambos os casos, de acordo com o National Cyber Security Centre, órgão britânico de cibersegurança, a coisa mais importante que podemos fazer agora é não entrar em pânico e, em vez disso, focar na necessidade de corrigir a segurança cibernética básica. Afinal, a maioria dos hackers não precisa de ferramentas de superinteligência artificial para violar sistemas — ataques muito mais simples geralmente são suficientes. "Para alguns, esse é um evento apocalíptico, para outros, parece muito exagero", disse Martin à BBC. Mas ele afirmou que, seja esta ferramenta ou outras subsequentes desenvolvidas pela Anthropic ou por concorrentes, além dos riscos existe uma oportunidade de construir um mundo online mais seguro. "No médio prazo, há uma oportunidade de usar essas ferramentas para corrigir muitas das vulnerabilidades subjacentes da internet", afirmou. No final de abril, a Anthropic anunciou que estava investigando uma denúncia de que um pequeno grupo de pessoas obteve acesso ao Claude Mythos. "Estamos investigando uma denúncia de acesso não autorizado ao Claude Mythos Preview por meio de um de nossos ambientes de fornecedores terceirizados", afirmou a empresa em comunicado. A declaração foi uma resposta a uma reportagem da Bloomberg, que revelou que usuários em um fórum privado conseguiram acessar o modelo sem as permissões necessárias.

Shares of Sterlite Technologies dropped 5% to hit the lower circuit on Monday, after a massive 56% surge in one month and a whopping 474% rally so far in 2026, as a pause in the global AI optimism dampened sentiment.Shares of the company remained locked in the lower circuit at Rs 588.30 apiece on NSE in the morning trading hours of Monday.AI rally slams the brakesSouth Korea’s Kospi plunged 9% on Monday morning, leading to a 20-minute trading halt, as the massive selloff in tech stocks raged on. The index is now down about 14% from the record high it touched last week. The sharp downturn came after heavyweights and semiconductor stocks tumbled, including Samsung shares which crashed over 6%.The sharp plunge in Kospi reflects the sharp pause in the AI rally, as too much of the benchmark index’s earlier momentum had become tied to the performance of a small group of AI-linked stocks. Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix together account for nearly half of the KOSPI's weighting and have contributed roughly two-thirds of the benchmark's gains this year.Also read: Kospi crashes 9%, trading halted for 20 minutes, as chip rout deepens; Samsung, SK Hynix worst hitSterlite Technologies shares had emerged as one of the biggest multibaggers of 2026, riding on explosive demand for AI-linked data centre infrastructure. Sterlite, the optical-fiber maker owned by the Vedanta Group, was seen as the “poster child” for the AI boom. This came amid expectations that the world’s AI expansion needs massive amounts of high-speed connectivity infrastructure, and optical fibre is becoming the backbone of that ecosystem.The company late in May announced that its subsidiary has secured a multi-year supply agreement valued at $1.11 billion from a global hyperscaler for AI-ready data centre infrastructure projects in the US. Hong Kong-based CLSA had said that this significantly strengthens Sterlite’s positioning in AI data centres while improving medium-term growth visibility. It expected the order to reinforce Sterlite’s competitiveness in global markets, while maintaining an “Outperform” rating on the stock.However, the sharp crash in tech stocks led to rising worries that the AI rally was fizzling out, which may have led to the downtrend in Sterlite Tech shares today.

Apple is expected to use its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 8 to make a fresh push into artificial intelligence (AI), with a Siri overhaul that has been long pending, new AI-powered tools and iOS 27 likely to take centre stage.The event comes at a crucial moment for the iPhone maker. Nearly two years after unveiling Apple Intelligence, Apple is still facing criticism for delayed features and a Siri revamp that never fully materialised. Now, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is preparing its biggest Siri upgrade in years as it looks to catch up with rivals such as Google Gemini, ChatGPT and Samsung's Galaxy AI.Also Read: ET at Apple’s Bengaluru developer showcase: The apps headed to WWDC 2026New Siri expected to be the biggest WWDC 2026 announcementAt the heart of Apple's plans is a redesigned Siri that is expected to move beyond simple voice commands and become a more capable AI assistant.The new Siri could gain the ability to understand what's on a user's screen, pull information from emails, notes, calendars and contacts, and perform actions across apps. Users may also be able to issue multiple commands in a single prompt. For instance, asking Siri to check the weather, schedule a meeting and send a message at the same time. Many of these features were originally previewed in 2024 before being repeatedly delayed.Apple is also reportedly working on a dedicated Siri app that would function more like ChatGPT or Gemini. The app could allow users to hold ongoing conversations, upload files and photos for analysis, access chat history and sync conversations across devices through iCloud. Apple is even said to be testing support for third-party AI models including Claude and Gemini alongside ChatGPT.iOS 27 may focus on performance, battery life and reliabilityWhile AI is expected to dominate the keynote, iOS 27 itself may be less about flashy redesigns and more about fixing pain points.Unlike last year's major visual overhaul with "Liquid Glass" design, Apple is reportedly focusing on performance improvements, better battery life, fewer bugs and faster response times. The company is also believed to be laying the groundwork for a foldable iPhone expected later this year through under-the-hood changes in the operating system.Apple is also expected to introduce a new AI-focused "Search or Ask" experience, making it easier for users to search their device, launch apps and interact with Siri from a single interface.Also Read: Will your iPhone get iOS 27? These four models may miss out on Apple’s next major software updateAI writing tools and photo editing upgrades could arrive with iOS 27The update could bring a range of new AI features across the iPhone, iPad and Mac.These include a Grammarly-like grammar checker built into iOS, AI-powered writing assistance through a new "Write with Siri" feature, smarter shortcuts that can be created using natural language, AI-generated wallpapers and upgraded photo editing tools capable of expanding images, improving quality and removing unwanted objects more effectively.Apple is also expected to enhance Visual Intelligence, its answer to Google's Lens. The feature could gain the ability to recognise nutrition labels, extract contact information and provide more contextual information about objects seen through the camera.Wallet, Safari and AirPods could get useful upgradesBeyond AI, Apple is reportedly working on a handful of practical upgrades aimed at everyday users.These include a built-in bill-splitting feature in Wallet and Messages, custom digital pass creation in Wallet, a redesigned Safari start page, improved AirPods controls and updates to fitness and heart-rate tracking on the Apple Watch.The company is also said to be improving notification management, adding more customisation options to the Camera app and making several changes aimed at improving the overall experience across its devices.Also Read: Apple to let users choose rival AI models across iOS 27 features: ReportWhy WWDC 2026 could be Apple's most important AI event yetFor Apple, however, the real focus will be Siri.The assistant has largely remained unchanged while competitors have transformed their products into conversational AI platforms capable of reasoning, planning and completing complex tasks. WWDC 2026 could be Apple's attempt to show that it is finally ready to compete in that race — and deliver some of the AI features it first promised users nearly two years ago.Whether Apple can close the gap with ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI rivals remains to be seen, but June 8 could offer the clearest look yet at the company's long-term AI strategy.
Backlash against AI is taking an extremist turn, following in the footsteps of earlier techno-pessimist militants Sign up for the Breaking News US newsletter email When a 20-year-old man from Texas was arrested earlier this year for allegedly trying to burn down OpenAI’s headquarters and Sam Altman’s house, authorities found an anti-AI manifesto alongside his lighter and a jug of kerosene. It was one of a spate of attacks that has caused alarm among researchers, the tech industry and law enforcement about the rise of anti-tech extremism. In April, an Italian “nature pilled” Instagram influencer was arrested in Rome and charged with plotting a series of anti-tech attacks that took inspiration from Ted “The Unabomber” Kaczynski. Two self-described “ecofascists” that carried out a deadly anti-Muslim attack on a mosque in San Diego last month also cited “AI slop” and JD Vance’s ties to Palantir as motivations for their violence in their manifesto. An Indianapolis city councilor woke up earlier this year to gunshots being fired into his home before finding a note that read “NO DATA CENTERS”. Continue reading...
