ASEAN Enterprises Move from AI Experiments to Engineering-Driven Deployment ACN Newswire

ASEAN Enterprises Move from AI Experiments to Engineering-Driven Deployment

04/14/2026
SINGAPORE, Apr 15, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - As artificial intelligence adoption accelerates across Southeast Asia, enterprises across the ASEAN region are increasingly establishing structured AI engineering practices to move from experimentation to production-scale deployment.According to Joseph Bosco, Partner Manager, APJ - Prof Services at Databricks, organisations across ASEAN are recognising that sustainable AI adoption depends not only on advanced models but also on robust engineering foundations that ensure reliability, governance and operational scalability.“The early phase of AI adoption focused heavily on experimentation and proofs of concept,” Bosco said. “Across Southeast Asia we are now seeing a shift towards AI engineering practices that prioritise data quality, governance and production readiness.”Markets such as Singapore, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia and Thailand are witnessing strong momentum in enterprise AI adoption as organisations modernise their data infrastructure and invest in advanced analytics capabilities.Industry experts note that AI engineering is becoming a critical discipline that connects AI innovation with enterprise operations. This includes building scalable data pipelines, managing machine learning lifecycle processes and integrating AI systems into business workflows.“Building a model is only one part of the challenge,” Bosco said. “The real work lies in creating reliable data pipelines, managing model lifecycle and embedding AI into operational systems.”Across ASEAN, many enterprises continue to manage complex data environments spanning legacy systems, multiple cloud platforms and software-as-a-service applications. Consolidating these fragmented data sources into unified platforms is increasingly seen as a prerequisite for scaling AI initiatives.Technology partners and consulting firms across the region are responding by developing dedicated AI engineering practices that combine expertise in data engineering, machine learning, generative AI and governance frameworks.These capabilities are already being applied across key sectors including financial services, telecommunications, and manufacturing.Bosco noted that Southeast Asia’s rapidly expanding data economies are creating a particularly dynamic environment for AI engineering talent and innovation.“As organisations across ASEAN continue to invest in data transformation, AI engineering will become an essential capability that enables enterprises to operationalise AI safely and effectively,” he said.

Sorare Launches New Referral System for Stellar Nights iGame

Sorare Launches New Referral System for Stellar Nights

04/14/2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Sorare has introduced a new referral program for Stellar Nights, providing a novel growth mechanism for the free-to-play aspect of Sorare 26. Rather than incentivizing basic registrations, Sorare now links rewards to the actual advancement of invited players within the set. Good to Know Sorare now rewards players for bringing friends into Stellar Nights. Rewards grow as referred players level up inside the set. Stellar Nights remains part of the free to play football offering in Sorare 26. INVITE YOUR FRIENDS ON STELLAR SET & GET REWARDED The Stellar Set referral system is LIVE Bring your friends in, help them level up, and stack rewards: Gold Wheel spins Stellar Essence Stellar Cards Up to 150 GemsDon’t miss out! — Sorare (@Sorare) April 13, 2026 Sorare Ties Rewards to Real Activity The new system is designed around user engagement, moving beyond simple player acquisition. Those who invite friends to Stellar Nights can earn Gold Wheel spins, Stellar Essence, Stellar Cards, and up to 150 Gems, but these are unlocked progressively as their referrals continue to play and increase their levels.This structure distinguishes the feature from previous referral offers. By using player progression as the key trigger, it is better suited to free-to-play users who might not make any purchases. Stellar Nights debuted in late March 2026 as the current football set within Sorare's Set mode. It was established as an additional game layer, featuring up to eight card variations and scoring bonuses based on card editions. Prize pools can hit $1,000 per set, and Stellar Nights also marked the first Sorare Set to incorporate a signed card. Entry is free, with players receiving starter cards and advancing through six tiers by constructing lineups and moving up leaderboards. The inclusion of Premier League clubs helps maintain the format's prominence during the final phase of the European football season. Stellar Essence is the core resource in this economy. Players spend it to unlock cards and continue their progression within the set. Gems function as a premium currency throughout the broader Sorare platform. Gold Wheel spins grant access to the Sorare Wheel, where players can win cards, Essence, and other in-game items. A Golden Spin with improved odds is awarded after every 10 regular spins. While Sorare has employed referral systems in the past, earlier iterations were more focused on purchasing activity. During the wider Sorare 26 season, new users who signed up via a referral link and purchased five cards from new card auctions were eligible for market credits. Stellar Nights adopts a different approach by incentivizing ongoing gameplay within the set instead of a single purchase. Sorare continues to operate its blockchain-based fantasy sports platform for football, NBA, and MLB. Cards are issued as NFTs on the Ethereum blockchain and are available in four scarcity tiers: Limited, Rare, Super Rare, and Unique. Platform-wide, users assemble five-player lineups based on real-world athlete performances and compete for cards, Essence, or cash prizes, depending on the specific game mode.

Illinois casino earnings rise 7.1% in March, reaching $183.1 million

04/14/2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Illinois commercial casinos generated $183.1 million in March, marking another strong month for the state’s early 2026 performance. The latest data shows widespread growth, with newer casino properties continuing to boost overall revenue while top-performing venues maintained their leading positions. Good to Know Illinois casino revenue totaled $183.1 million in March, marking a 7.1% year-over-year increase. Slot machines brought in $140.7 million, while table games contributed $42.4 million in revenue. Hollywood Casino Joliet saw the largest revenue surge, climbing 56%. Newer Casino Properties Continue to Fuel Revenue Growth Slot machines once again accounted for the majority of revenue, generating $140.7 million, a 6.6% year-over-year rise. Table games saw an even faster climb, jumping 9.1% to reach $42.4 million. March typically boosts casino foot traffic regardless, as NCAA Tournament betting interest, leisure travel, and seasonal visitor trends all draw more people through casino doors. Leading the market, Rivers Casino Des Plaines stayed well ahead of peers with $44.6 million in total revenue, split into $28.6 million from slots and $16 million from table games. Wind Creek Chicago Southland followed with $22 million in revenue. Hard Rock Casino Rockford posted $13.4 million, while Grand Victoria Casino totaled $13.2 million. Hollywood Casino Joliet stood out most notably. After transitioning to a fully land-based facility in August 2025, the property generated $12.4 million in March, a 56% year-over-year increase. Wind Creek Southland also built on its April 2025 resort opening, seeing revenue rise 30.6%. Walkers Bluff posted a 10.4% gain as well. Not every casino saw growth, however. Harrah’s Metropolis fell 11.8% to $4.8 million. Harrah’s Joliet dropped 8%, and Par A Dice Hotel Casino slipped 3.7%. Older properties have faced heightened pressure as newer and expanded venues continue to draw customers in Illinois’s increasingly crowded casino market. Illinois has rapidly expanded its casino capacity since the 2019 gambling expansion law opened the door for new casinos and property upgrades. March’s figures show these investments are still paying off. Illinois Gaming Board data covers only commercial casinos, and does not include sports betting or video gaming terminal revenue.

Alien Legends Launches Alpha With NFT-Linked Battles iGame

Alien Legends Launches Alpha With NFT-Linked Battles

04/14/2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Alien Legends will launch its alpha phase on April 16, granting players access to a browser-based tactical combat game centered on NFT-linked battles, missions, and reward mechanisms. Good to Know Open Alpha starts on April 16. Players need five Alien Legends fighters plus one Alien Worlds crew NFT and one Alien Worlds arms NFT. Bug reports can earn part of a 1 million Shards pool. Alpha Launches With Rewards Already Active Alien Legends initiates public testing with core reward systems already enabled. Players can utilize TLM, Shards, and landowner incentives from the outset while navigating dungeons and arenas across a vast world map. The map layout features portals, taverns, arenas, and dungeon paths. Players recruit and oversee fighters, develop skills, and undertake daily, weekly, and monthly missions. Leaderboards also serve as a metric for performance, encouraging players to strive for higher rankings. Participation requires specific NFT ownership: at least five Alien Legends fighters, alongside one Alien Worlds crew NFT and one Alien Worlds arms NFT. Trial accounts are also permitted, though they are restricted to earning only 10% of the available rewards.Alien Legends utilizes this alpha phase to stress-test game systems prior to a reset. Upon the phase's conclusion, all progress will be wiped, followed by an external competition conducted through the Alien Worlds smart contract. Participants who submit valuable bug reports via Discord will be eligible to share in a pool of 1 million Shards after testing concludes. Strategy is crucial because fighters age and diminish in effectiveness over time, making roster management a key component of the gameplay loop. Legendary account holders also receive additional daily resources to aid their gameplay. “We’re excited to see how players interact with the Open Alpha and shape the game’s development.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Criminal Group Attempts to Extort Kraken Exchange, Company Refuses to Comply iGame

Criminal Group Attempts to Extort Kraken Exchange, Company Refuses to Comply

04/14/2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Kraken reported that a criminal organization is attempting to extort the platform, though the company emphasized that its core infrastructure remains secure and customer assets were never in jeopardy. Key Details Kraken confirmed that no system compromise put user funds at risk. Approximately 2,000 accounts may have been accessed during two separate events. The exchange stated it will neither negotiate nor provide payment. Kraken Declines Extortion Demands Kraken stated that criminals threatened to leak footage of internal systems displaying user data unless the exchange complied with their ultimatums. Chief Security Officer Nick Percoco declared that the firm will not yield. “We are currently facing an extortion attempt by a criminal group threatening to publish videos of our internal platforms showing client information if we do not meet their demands. It is vital to highlight the most critical facts: our systems were never compromised; assets were never at risk; we will not pay these individuals; and we will never negotiate with bad actors.”Kraken noted that only a tiny fraction of its user base was affected. According to Percoco, roughly 2,000 client accounts, or 0.02% of all customers, were potentially viewed across both incidents. “In both cases, only a very small number of client accounts were potentially exposed—roughly 2,000 in total (0.02% of our users). Based on the intelligence gathered from both events and our extensive analysis, we believe there is sufficient evidence to identify and arrest those responsible.” The exchange traced the initial incident to February 2025 after receiving a tip about a video on a criminal forum that appeared to show access to customer support tools. The individual involved, identified by Kraken as a member of the support team, had their access revoked immediately, and impacted clients were notified. A second similar event occurred later and was handled by Kraken in the same fashion. Following those measures, the group behind the content allegedly issued extortion demands, threatening to leak the videos through social media and news organizations. Kraken stated it is now collaborating with federal law enforcement and industry partners across multiple jurisdictions. This article is provided by a third-party.

Washington Seeks Complete Overview of Gambling-Related Funds in Sports iGame

Washington Seeks Complete Overview of Gambling-Related Funds in Sports

04/14/2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Senator Richard Blumenthal has set a May 1 deadline for every major U.S. sports league to provide details about their gambling partnerships. As Washington examines betting connections across sports more closely, the pressure now extends beyond sportsbooks to include prediction markets. Good to Know Blumenthal dispatched letters to the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and NCAA. He is seeking specifics on sportsbook agreements, data contracts, advertising deals, and prediction market partnerships. The MLB, NHL, and MLS already have publicly known connections to prediction market operators. Senate Pressure Reaches Every Major League Blumenthal sent letters to the commissioners of the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and NCAA, requiring a complete report of each organization’s relationship with the gambling industry by May 1, 2026. The scope extends far beyond sportsbook sponsorships; he also wants information on data agreements, advertising deals, prediction market partnerships, and any other commercial arrangements linked to wagering platforms. “Eight years ago, when the federal sports gambling ban—one that the leagues backed—was overturned, gambling began to seep into every part of sports,” he stated in relation to the letters. “This unchecked growth of sports gambling has led to increased addiction, risks to players, and even the potential corruption of the games themselves.” Since the Supreme Court lifted the federal sports betting ban in 2018, leagues have developed stronger business connections in areas like betting, media, data, and fan interaction. Now Congress is requesting documentation of these ties.Blumenthal has frequently targeted platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket, claiming they attempt to offer sports betting products while evading the state regulations that licensed sportsbooks must follow. His recent letters indicate he wants to understand the extent of sports leagues’ current partnerships with these companies. Several of these connections are already public knowledge. The MLB named Polymarket its Official Prediction Market in a three-year deal valued at up to $300 million. The NHL holds licensing agreements with both Polymarket and Kalshi. The MLS also has a marketing pact with Polymarket. The NBA hasn’t revealed any prediction market deals yet, though Commissioner Adam Silver has noted the league is exploring the sector. The NCAA differs from professional leagues. It has opposed gambling partnerships and strongly resisted prop bets related to college sports. NCAA leaders have also cautioned that sports event contracts on prediction platforms could compromise game integrity in college sports. Despite this, Kalshi has listed college sports markets, including tournament games. Blumenthal is positioning the disclosure as a foundation for more comprehensive federal action on gambling. Thus, the leagues’ responses might do more than just address a Senate letter—they could influence the upcoming debates over sports betting regulations, prediction markets, and the very definition of gambling. FAQ Which leagues received letters from Blumenthal? The NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL, MLS, and NCAA each received a letter from Blumenthal. What is Blumenthal requesting from these leagues? He is asking for a detailed breakdown of their relationships with the gambling industry, including sportsbook agreements, advertising partnerships, data contracts, and prediction market connections. What is the deadline for responses? Leagues are required to submit their responses by May 1, 2026. Why are prediction markets included in this inquiry? Blumenthal claims that platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket attempt to offer sports betting products while bypassing the regulations that licensed sportsbooks are subject to. How does the NCAA differ from the other leagues? The NCAA has taken a stance against gambling partnerships and has warned about betting products linked to college sports—particularly prop bets and sports event contracts.

US Treasury Imposes Sanctions on Two Mexican Casinos Linked to Drug Cartel iGame

US Treasury Imposes Sanctions on Two Mexican Casinos Linked to Drug Cartel

04/14/2026
(AsiaGameHub) - U.S. authorities have targeted two Mexican casinos linked to Cartel del Noreste, expanding an existing sanctions campaign that has already hit the group’s leadership and affiliated networks to now include these gambling venues. Good to Know OFAC issued sanctions against Casino Centenario, Diamante Casino, and their operator CAMSA on April 14. Treasury confirmed one of the casinos functioned as a money laundering hub, drug stash house, and torture site. U.S. persons are now banned from most transactions with the entities, and a limited license for winding down existing operations is in place. Casinos Became Part of the Cartel Business The U.S. Treasury, via its Office of Foreign Assets Control, sanctioned Casino Centenario and Diamante Casino, both connected to Cartel del Noreste. Treasury also designated Comercializadora y Arrendadora de Mexico, S.A. de C.V., known as CAMSA, which operates both casino properties. One of the two casinos is located just two miles from the U.S. border. According to OFAC, Casino Centenario based in Nuevo Laredo, Tamaulipas was far more than just a money laundering front. Treasury stated CDN used the property to store fentanyl pills and cocaine, clean illicit proceeds through legitimate gambling activity, and use backrooms to torture and intimidate people the group sees as enemies. CDN members also visited the venue on a regular basis. Diamante Casino, located in Tampico, Tamaulipas, was also included in the sanctions action. The property operates the gambling website diamantecasino.com.mx, which ties the case not only to land-based gaming but also to online casino operations. This gives the sanctions action broader relevance for the entire industry. For regulators, compliance teams, gaming operators, and payment providers, the case illustrates how quickly casino operations can become tied to sanctions risk, anti-money laundering reviews, and cross-border enforcement. CDN, formerly known as Los Zetas, has operated for decades across Tamaulipas, Coahuila, and Nuevo León. Treasury has linked the group to fentanyl trafficking, as well as smuggling of methamphetamine, heroin, marijuana, and cocaine, plus human smuggling, kidnapping, extortion, and political corruption. In February 2025, the United States designated CDN as a Foreign Terrorist Organization. Prior to that, the group was already classified as a specially designated foreign narcotics trafficker and transnational criminal organization. Nuevo Laredo remains a central hub for CDN’s network. Controlling the area gives CDN influence over drug trafficking and human smuggling routes entering the United States through the busiest inland trade crossing on the southern border. Treasury says the group uses this position to extort businesses and shipments, while bribing politicians and journalists. Three individuals were designated alongside the casino entities. Eduardo Javier Islas Valdez, known as “Crosty,” allegedly oversees human smuggling operations in Nuevo Laredo and controls cash stash houses across the city. Juan Pablo Penilla Rodriguez, a defense attorney, allegedly acts as an intermediary for imprisoned CDN co-founder Miguel Angel Trevino Morales. Jesus Reymundo Ramos Vazquez, publicly known as Raymundo Ramos, allegedly runs disinformation operations for the cartel while posing as a human rights activist. The sanctions block all property and property interests of the named people and entities that fall within U.S. borders or are under the control of U.S. persons. Any entity owned 50% or more by a sanctioned person is also subject to the restrictions. OFAC also issued a general license to allow U.S. persons to wind down existing transactions involving CAMSA, Casino Centenario, and Diamante Casino. “Treasury will use all available tools to protect our nation from violent cartels that seek to inflict terror on innocent Americans,” Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said. “Treasury will continue to target the diverse revenue streams that cartels depend on to keep their criminal operations running.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Hong Kong Halts Launch of Legal Basketball Betting iGame

Hong Kong Halts Launch of Legal Basketball Betting

04/14/2026
(AsiaGameHub) - Hong Kong has halted the planned September start of its legal basketball betting operation. Authorities stated that the rapid expansion of cryptocurrency-based prediction markets necessitates a more thorough examination before any licensing can proceed. Good to Know Hong Kong has suspended the planned September launch of legal basketball betting. Officials pointed to growing uncertainty around crypto based prediction markets. No new date has been given for a rollout. Crypto Prediction Markets Change the Picture Hong Kong had passed legislative amendments last September to authorize basketball betting, aiming to draw activity away from the black market. Officials had connected that initiative to an illicit sector that produced an estimated HK$34 billion (US$4.3 billion) in 2023. The government has now reversed its position. Alice Mak, Hong Kong's Secretary for Home and Youth Affairs, explained that the law's passage did not obligate the government to grant licenses according to a fixed timetable. “As a responsible government, we must make decisive decisions when protecting the public interest,” Mak said. “If we were to blindly issue a licence simply because a bill was passed last year while disregarding other external factors, that would be irresponsible.”Officials now seek additional time to evaluate prediction markets, platforms where users speculate on outcomes related to sports, financial indices, and even geopolitical events. The rise of platforms like Kalshi and Polymarket has led regulators in various jurisdictions to debate a key question: are event contracts genuinely financial instruments, or merely a form of gambling under a different label? In a Tuesday email, the government reported that prediction market trading volume surged in 2025, reaching a peak of US$64 billion, a 200% increase from the previous year. Officials stated that such significant growth demands a more in-depth analysis of the operational models of these platforms. The Hong Kong Jockey Club, which was anticipated to operate the betting scheme, was reportedly informed of the suspension on Monday evening, although senior management had prior knowledge, according to the South China Morning Post. The newspaper cited a “club insider” who questioned, “The prediction market has emerged for some time. Why wasn’t it foreseen earlier? … Was the decision based upon something beyond [the government’s] control?” This query has fueled broader discussion in local media. Some analysts have speculated that Hong Kong wished to avoid conflict with Beijing, which maintains strict control over gambling policies and has associated cross-border gambling with money laundering and other criminal activities. While Hong Kong, as a special administrative region of China, has autonomy in local policy, influence from the central government remains a significant factor.Adrian Pedro Ho, a member of the Legislative Council, supported the postponement, describing it as a prudent move given the continuous evolution of gambling-related technology. “Basketball betting has not launched yet,” he said. “There is no reason to introduce something new that could encourage and fuel illegal gambling activities.” No schedule has been provided for when legal basketball betting might commence.

In 2025, the series recorded nearly 30,000 entries and awarded approximately $30 million in prizes. Venetian Expands Summer Tournament Lineup The Venetian is once again increasing the scope of its poker operations. Following a 116-event schedule last year, the resort will host 121 tournaments in 2026. This growth comes after a successful 2025 festival that saw nearly 30,000 participants and close to $30 million in payouts, marking another strong summer performance for the Las Vegas poker room. The schedule provides a blend of low- and mid-stakes buy-ins alongside high-profile events, designed to attract professional players, local regulars, seniors, and casual competitors, as well as participants for dedicated ladies' tournaments. The series maintains its established format, emphasizing deep starting stacks and extended blind levels to provide players with more time at the tables. Several key dates have been highlighted. A $1,100 No Limit Hold’em tournament with a $1 million guarantee is set for June 6–10, followed by a $1,100 Seniors No Limit Hold’em event with a $1 million guarantee from June 11–14. Later in June, a $1,600 Seniors No Limit Hold’em event will feature a $1.5 million guarantee. From June 30 to July 2, the $2,500 LIPS Ladies High Roller will offer a $150,000 guarantee. The MSPT also returns with two $1 million guaranteed events: a $1,100 No Limit Hold’em tournament from July 11–14 and a $1,600 No Limit Hold’em tournament from July 15–19. This diverse range of events has helped the DeepStack series become a prominent fixture on the summer poker circuit away from the Strip. While the Venetian hosts other series throughout the year, such as the DeepStack Extravaganza and DeepStack Showdown, the summer championship remains its premier event.

Fujitsu and Chugoku Electric Power T&D sign IP licensing agreement to accelerate renewable energy integration and advance power transmission maintenance

04/14/2026
KAWASAKI, Japan, Apr 15, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and Chugoku Electric Power Transmission & Distribution Co., Inc. today announced the signing of an intellectual property licensing agreement. This agreement, effective April 15, 2026, covers Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property, which includes its dynamic line rating technology [1] and intellectual property related to advanced power transmission facility maintenance. The partnership aims to support the expansion of renewable energy adoption and enhance power transmission facility maintenance operations through drone utilization.Under this agreement, Fujitsu will leverage Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property to launch an advanced power grid operation and maintenance support service for power transmission and distribution companies. This service will enable safe and maximum connection and utilization of renewable energy in the power grid.BackgroundAs the adoption of renewable energy continues to expand, power transmission and distribution companies are working to maximize the use of existing power transmission facilities while maintaining stable operation of the power system [2] . The capacity of transmission lines for safe power transmission varies with environmental conditions like temperature and wind speed. Traditionally, to protect transmission facilities, operations have been based on the transmission capacity under the worst-case conditions. However, dynamic line rating technology, which adjusts transmission capacity based on real-time environmental conditions, is now recognized as a key method for effectively utilizing transmission capacity while making the most of existing facilities.Furthermore, there are concerns that conventional human-dependent maintenance operations, such as inspection and patrolling of power transmission facilities, will face operational challenges in the future due to a shrinking workforce. To address these challenges, initiatives are progressing to utilize digital technologies and drones to efficiently and accurately assess the condition of transmission facilities.Fujitsu has developed technology to acquire and analyze vibration data across all spans of transmission lines using optical fiber sensing technology [3] with a single measuring device, as well as a technology platform for data management and AI analysis. To apply these technologies in a practical operational setting for power transmission and distribution companies, Fujitsu and Chugoku Electric Power T&D have conducted verification tests [4] since September 2021, focusing on expanding renewable energy adoption and enhancing power transmission facility maintenance operations.Service OverviewThe service integrates Chugoku Electric Power T&D's intellectual property, including its dynamic line rating technology and expertise in power transmission facility operation and maintenance, cultivated through verification tests and practical operations, with Fujitsu's optical fiber sensing, data analysis, and AI technologies. It acquires vibration data from optical fibers laid along transmission lines and uses environmental data, such as wind conditions around the transmission lines, derived from this vibration data, to calculate the available transmission capacity according to the real-time facility status. Furthermore, by training and inferring with AI using the acquired data, it becomes possible to predict future wind conditions around transmission lines and transmission capacity. These series of data acquisition, conversion, and prediction functions will be provided as the basic functions of this service.In addition, the data obtained from the basic functions can be utilized to support power transmission and distribution companies in addressing various operational challenges. It supports the operational design and system construction for dynamic line rating technology, thereby reducing renewable energy curtailment and promoting efficient power utilization. Furthermore, wind condition data around transmission lines can guide drone flight feasibility and optimal route selection. By assessing facility conditions from vibration data, the service also facilitates labor-saving and advanced maintenance operations, moving beyond traditional on-site and human-dependent methods.Fujitsu will offer this service to power transmission and distribution companies as part of its "AI Technologies and Solutions" offering under Uvance [5] , a business model focused on addressing societal challenges. Figure: Service Overview Future PlansFujitsu will continue to strengthen this service, including the application of generative AI, to achieve advanced maintenance operations from inspection to repair plan formulation, thereby contributing to the acceleration of digitalization in power infrastructure both domestically and internationally. Furthermore, under Uvance, Fujitsu will advance towards a sustainable and resilient society by enhancing social infrastructure through data and AI.Chugoku Electric Power T&D will continue to advance its technology and accumulate expertise through practical operations, leading the expansion of renewable energy adoption and the sophistication of facility maintenance operations.(1) Dynamic line rating technology:A technology that constantly monitors the status of power transmission lines and adjusts current capacity according to local conditions.(2) Power system:A series of electric power facilities and systems consisting of "transmission," "transformation," and "distribution" to deliver electricity from power stations to customers.

AI或重定义自由艺术学历，专家预言年轻学者的新方向

04/14/2026
(SeaPRwire) - AI 可能正在恢復文科（博雅教育）學位的重要性，至少根據該行業其中一家巨頭公司的共同創辦人的說法是如此。 Anthropic 的億萬富翁共同創辦人、曾任記者並主修英國文學與創意寫作的 Jack Clark 表示，他的文學教育背景幫助他成為 AI 領域中具影響力的人物。 他在週一的一場會議上表示：「我是一名文學系畢業生，我想一般人不會認為這是一個前沿 AI 公司共同創辦人的背景，但事實證明，這非常有用，因為我學到了很多關於歷史以及我們對未來所講述的故事類型。」 他補充道：「事實證明，這對 AI 極其相關，我認為這是人們以前無法預測到的方式。」 他補充說，對於試圖在日益受 AI 驅動的經濟中尋找定位的年輕人來說，最好的選擇可能是學習如何提出正確的問題。 他說：「真正重要的事情是知道該問什麼正確的問題，並對於將來自不同學科的不同見解碰撞在一起時會產生什麼有趣的事物具備直覺。」 Clark 主張年輕人應避免追求基礎或「死記硬背式的程式設計」，並補充說，未來將變得更加相關的學位是那些涉及「跨多個學科的綜合能力以及對此進行分析性思考」的學位。 STEM 領域的裂痕 Clark 的見解正值越來越多年輕人正在努力應對 AI 主導的未來對他們意味著什麼。根據國家科學及工程統計中心 (NCSES) 的數據，數十年來 STEM 教育的入學人數激增，部分原因是電腦科學興趣的飆升，這幫助科學與工程研究生入學人數在 2000 年至 2015 年間增加了超過三分之一。根據隸屬於國家科學基金會的 NCSES 數據，在 2013 年至 2023 年間，STEM 職位的增長也超過了非 STEM 職位，增幅分別為 26% 和 9%。 雖然預計到 2024 年 STEM 職位將增長 6%，但由於 AI 的出現，一些裂痕已開始顯現。Anthropic 研究員 Maxim Massenkoff 和 Peter McCrory 上個月的一份報告發現，AI 理論上可以接管 94% 的電腦和數學任務。報告發現，電腦程式設計職位是受 AI 影響最大的職位之一。 像 Anthropic 這樣正在開發取代人工技術的公司的領導者，正日益對職位流失發出警報。Anthropic 執行長 Dario Amodei 曾著名地聲稱，AI 將消除一半的初級白領職位。與此同時，Anthropic 的 Claude Code 創作者 Boris Cherny 今年早些時候表示，「程式編寫實際上已被解決」，並且「我們將開始看到『軟體工程師』這個職稱消失」。 對於年輕人來說，AI 在各行各業的湧入構成了重大風險，因為他們仍在努力在職場中立足。在週一的同一場訪談中，Clark 承認：「我看到某些行業的早期畢業生就業存在潛在弱點，」但他並未具體說明是哪些行業。他對自己的評論有所保留，表示關於 AI 相關的裁員，「除此之外我還沒看到其他情況」，但他強調 AI 將顛覆企業及其運作方式。 紐約聯邦儲備銀行的一項研究顯示，截至去年年底，近期大學畢業生的失業率為 5.7%，高於疫情前的 3.6%，也高於 3 月份 4.3% 的整體失業率。大學畢業生從事通常不需要大學學位的工作的比例在去年年底也達到了疫情以來的最高水平，為 42.5%，這可能是年輕畢業生難以在所學領域找到工作的跡象。 由於對低迷的就業市場感到沮喪，一些年輕人開始考慮進入技職領域。根據國家學生清理中心 (National Student Clearinghouse) 的數據，去年以職業為導向的社區大學入學人數增加了 16%。其他人則放棄了全職職位，轉而選擇多份兼職工作，以獲得更多自由。 文科的回歸 與此同時，有一些證據表明文科學位正變得更加相關，至少在科技領域是如此。Microsoft 的首席科學家 Jaime Teevan 上個月表示，文科教育對於培養在其他工作委派給 AI 時仍然需要的軟技能至關重要。 Teevan 告訴 Wall Street Journal：「後設認知技能將非常重要——靈活性、適應性、實驗精神、批判性思考、以及挑戰事物的能力。培養批判性思考能力需要摩擦、做困難的事情以及進行深度思考。」 凱斯西儲大學研究與經濟發展執行副校長 Michael Oakes 表示，經典的文科學位將變得很重要，因為它能培養出能夠駕馭深刻細微差別和文化的員工——他表示這些特質是 AI 無法複製的。 Oakes 說：「隨著 AI 降低了技術執行的門檻，勞動力市場的溢價正轉向嚴謹批判性推理的人為層面。」 科技領域中需要文科教育的非傳統職位可能正在增加。就在本週，劍橋大學的一位 AI 倫理學家兼高級研究員在 X 上的貼文中表示，他被聘為 Google DeepMind（Alphabet 的 AI 實驗室）的哲學家。Clark 則在週一表示，Anthropic 也聘請了幾位哲學家。 Clark 說：「你上一次聽說哲學學位是一個很好的就業前景是什麼時候？但事實證明，現在確實如此。」本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
