Canada Accelerates ASEAN Trade Deal to Offset U.S. Tariff Fallout

In an attempt to diversify its export markets in the face of growing U.S. tariffs, Canada is speeding up its attempts to complete a free trade agreement with ASEAN. Speaking in Kuala Lumpur, Foreign Minister Anita Anand underlined Canadas dedication to multilateralism and closer relations with Southeast Asia. The proposed agreement would lessen dependency on the United States, which recently levied high tariffs on Canadian automobiles, steel, and aluminium. Anand emphasised collaboration in energy, food security, the digital economy, and artificial intelligence, noting that the IndoPacific will propel future global prosperity. If an agreement with Washington cannot be reached by July 21, Canada may impose counterduties. The FTA between ASEAN and Canada is viewed as a calculated step to increase access to emerging markets and insulate Canadian companies from protectionist shocks. Read More..

Microsoft Outlook Suffers Global Outage, Millions Locked Out Since 350 AM IST

Since 350 AM IST on July 10, users of desktop, mobile, and web platforms have been unable to access their emails due to a worldwide outage in Microsof

Since 350 AM IST on July 10, users of desktop, mobile, and web platforms have been unable to access their emails due to a worldwide outage in Microsoft Outlook. More than 62% of users reported having trouble logging in, and others experienced server problems and errors such as "invalid licenses" or "something went wrong." Microsoft blames a lowperforming mailbox infrastructure, which may have been caused by a malfunctioning authentication component. The business is actively implementing a repair, reports that development is "quicker than anticipated," and anticipates a slow recovery. OneDrive and Teams are among the other Microsoft 365 services that are unaffected. This is one of the longest Outlook outages in recent memory, which raises questions about dependability as personal and business communication become more reliant on Microsofts ecosystem.

Grok 4 was released by Elon Musks xAI five months after Grok 3 and is touted as the most potent AI model in the world. Grok 4 outperforms Grok 3 in academic benchmarks, scoring 87% on GPQA and 100% on AIME, while Grok 3 scored 52.2% and 75.4%, respectively. On Humanitys Last Exam, it performs better than competitors, scoring 44.4% with tools and 25.4% without. A context window with 256,000 tokens, realtime data from X, Tesla, and SpaceX, and multimodal capabilities are all characteristics of Grok 4. It only uses reasoning mode, unlike Grok 3. xAI targets enterprise users with Grok 4 via API and a $300/month SuperGrok Heavy subscription. Future iterations will broaden xAIs frontier aspirations using Grok 4 Code and video generation models. Read More..

Alphabet’s Isomorphic Labs Prepares for First Human Trials of AICreated Cancer Drugs

Alphabets Isomorphic Labs, which was formed from Google DeepMind, is getting ready to test cancer medications created only using artificial intelligen

Alphabets Isomorphic Labs, which was formed from Google DeepMind, is getting ready to test cancer medications created only using artificial intelligence on humans. The platform, which is based on the AlphaFold 3 system, simplifies drug development by simulating the interactions between proteins and DNA, RNA, and drug molecules. In April 2025, the business raised $600 million and collaborated with Novartis and Eli Lilly to develop immunology and oncology therapies. By lowering R&D expenses and increasing success rates, Isomorphic hopes to create a toptier drug design engine. Although encouraging, the strategy raises questions about responsibility, openness, and accessibility. Ownership rights, affordability, and regulatory supervision are still up for debate. If effective, this might revolutionise the way medications are found and administered, marking a watershed in AIdriven medicine. Read More..

Apple Developing ChatGPTStyle Support Assistant to Streamline Customer Service

In an effort to improve customer support, Apple is apparently creating an AI chatbot for its Support app that is modelled after ChatGPT. Before connecting customers to live agents, the Support Assistant tool provides immediate assistance using generative AI models. Uploading files and images can be possible in order to visually diagnose problems or confirm warranty status. Code discovered by MacRumors indicates that the assistant will serve as a middleman, offering prompt responses but warning users not to take its advice seriously. This represents a change from Apples previous opposition to "bolton chatbots," which was part of a larger move towards integrated AI experiences. The chatbot could improve troubleshooting throughout Apples device ecosystem and drastically cut down on wait times. Read More..

OpenAI to Launch AI Browser Built on Chromium, Challenging Google Chrome’s Reign

In a direct challenge to Google Chromes hegemony, OpenAI plans to release a Chromiumbased AIpowered web browser. With its chatfirst design, the browser incorporates AI agents like Operator to do tasks like booking, formfilling, and content summarisation, eliminating the need to visit several websites. OpenAI now has greater authority over user interaction data, which is a valuable resource in Googles adsupported economy. The adoption of ChatGPT, with over 500 million weekly users, may disrupt Chromes market share and ad revenue. Amid antitrust inquiry, OpenAI contemplated purchasing Chrome and hired former Chrome engineers. The browser is an audacious move into search and browsing infrastructure, reflecting OpenAIs larger ambition to integrate AI into everyday operations and grow its consumerfacing ecosystem.

Trump Slaps 10% Tariff on BRICS, Cites Threat to Dollar Dominance

Donald Trump, the president of the United States, has declared an additional 10% tariff on all BRICS countries, including India, claiming that the group is undermining the dominance of the U.S. dollar. Trump said during a Cabinet meeting that BRICS was created to "hurt the U.S." and threatened to "soon pay" the fee. The decision comes after BRICS leaders demanded a rulesbased multilateral trading framework and criticised unilateral tariffs during their Rio Summit. Trump stressed that there would be no exceptions and that, absent new trade agreements, the tariffs would go into place on August 1, 2025. As BRICS increases its power and promotes dedollarization and solidarity among the Global South, the declaration exacerbates trade tensions worldwide. Read More..

Jio Delays $100B IPO to Deepen Digital Play and Outpace Starlink

Dependence Originally scheduled for 2025, Jio Platforms has delayed its muchanticipated initial public offering IPO in order to concentrate on increas

Dependence Originally scheduled for 2025, Jio Platforms has delayed its muchanticipated initial public offering IPO in order to concentrate on increasing revenue and subscriber growth. Jio wants to further develop its digital and telecom operations before going public, despite analysts valuations of the company being over $100 billion. Although its yearly revenue of $17.6 billion is mostly from telecom operations, it is fast diversifying into AI, apps, and connected products. Additionally, the delay enables Jio to fortify its position in advance of Elon Musks Starlink launch in India. The company has not yet hired any investment bankers, and longterm valuation is its top priority. Investor confidence is unaffected by the delay, as Jios partnerships—such as those with Google, Meta, and Nvidia—support its aspirations for a digital ecosystem. Read More..
