Dans le cadre d’un procès contre Google, la Cour fédérale américaine a statué que Google devait permettre les applications créées par ses rivaux dans le PlayStore pendant trois ans, à commencer par l’année prochaine. Epic Games poursuit Google pour entrave à la concurrence et contrôle de la distribution des applications et des paiements sur les mobiles androïdes.

< Back IT industry and AI, limited by unlimited liability 2 Jun 2025 Clients demand that IT firms take full liability for all mistakes their AI systems make. AI works probabilistically, which makes its outcomes unpredictable. More businesses expect global IT firms to include an ‘unlimited liability’ clause in their contracts to protect themselves against potential errors and resulting outcomes, and to negotiate more favourable agreements. IT firms are hesitant because of the fear of enormous financial repercussions. This is leading to prolonged or cancelled deals. A customer sued Air Canada after its chatbot produced misleading information, which went against the airline's policy. Lawyers representing Anthropic, an AI firm, apologised to a US Federal Court for an erroneous citation by their LLM, Claude. Reportedly, a prominent Indian IT firm walked away from the deal with a European Bank on the same grounds. Usually, IT operations and software development are considered low risk, and their contracts do not include unlimited liability clauses. In more regulated sectors, like insurance and energy, liability is capped at a percentage of contract value. Never miss another post from SalestorrsNews150.

< Back Bom Hang: The trauma of Vietnamese drivers for cash on delivery orders 15 Jan 2024 Drivers have to pay upfront to collect the COD orders. The driver loses money if the customer's address doesn’t exist or the order is cancelled. Bom hang , or fraud orders for the most popular COD mode of online payment is the biggest nightmare for drivers in Vietnam. This market faces up to 15% of failed deliveries. Bogus addresses, last-minute cancellations, or unreachable customers cause drivers to lose money on delivery fees, money they pay to restaurants for food pickup, and transportation charges incurred for the delivery. Companies like Shopee, Be, and Grab have reimbursement policies, but drivers find them cumbersome and time-consuming. Most ask drivers to bring the undelivered food to their office, which costs them extra. These platforms allow drivers to mention the maximum amount they can risk on a COD order. A horde of scammers has emerged that use fake numbers and addresses to trick drivers into paying for bogus orders. Drivers warn each other through Facebook groups by blacklisting addresses and numbers, but it is not always effective. Previous Next

India is witnessing a rise in the number of ghost shopping malls. As per a recent Knight and Frank report, there were 64 such shopping centres in 2023 compared to 57 in 2022, especially in NCR, Bengaluru, and Mumbai.

< Back RBI bars Kotak Mahindra Bank from onboarding new customers digitally 24 Apr 2024 Despite repeated warnings over the last two years, Kotak did not fix its IT systems. On Wednesday, RBI barred new customer onboarding via online and mobile channels and issued new credit cards, citing “serious deficiencies and non-compliances” in Kotak Mahindra Bank's technology platforms. Kotak is the third-most valued bank in India in terms of market capitalisation. The move may also impact the bank’s existing co-branded card deals. The ban will not affect existing banking and credit card customers. Its branches continue to operate as usual. RBI found non-compliance in Kotak’s IT inventory management, user access management, patch and change management, vendor risk management, data security and leak prevention strategy, and business continuity and disaster management. As per RBI, the inadequate technological infrastructure caused severe and frequent Core Banking System failures in digital banking channels in 2022-2023. The latest service disruption occurred on April 15, 2024. RBI imposed a similar ban on HDFC Bank in 2020 and removed it in March 2022. Previous Next

< Back As crude prices tumble, steel prices may be next 6 Mar 2025 Crude oil traded near its lowest in years on Wednesday after the US tariffs announcement. Brent Crude Oil dropped by 6.5% this week to $68.34, the lowest since December 2021. OPEC+, the alliance between oil producing nations from the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), led by Saudi Arabia, will produce more oil between April 2025 and September 2026. It had reduced production from November 2023. Along with this, the US tariffs levied on Canada, China, and Mexico, and allegedly, Kazakhstan’s ongoing overproduction, caused the crude oil prices to decline. Crude inventories grew by 3.6 million barrels to 433.8 million last week. The US also ended oil producer Chevron’s license to operate in Venezuela and export oil. This decision may reduce the supply by 200,000 barrels per day. Also, the US tariffs may cause a correction of around ₹3,000 per tonne in Indian steel prices. Discounted steel exports from Japan, China, and South Korea hit a record high in FY2025. Never miss another post from SalestorrsNews150.
