Estimates of the impact of the crisis on the automotive market continue to deteriorate with a forecast for 2020 of -22,3% compared to 2019 volumes on a global scale with key markets such as Europe and the US particularly impacted (-24,9% and -26,6% respectively). The recovery will be long and will take 2-3 years
Also prolonged factories’ shutdowns (gradually reopened between April and May) have led to a further contraction in production forecasts for 2020 (-22% compared to 2019) with a consequent negative impact on vehicles’ delivery times that are expected to add complexity to the market recovery

Intel Warned Chinese Companies of Chip Flaws Before U.S. Governmen.docxnormanibarber20063
Intel Warned Chinese Companies of Chip Flaws Before U.S. Government
Decision to disclose issue to select few customers, including Lenovo and Alibaba, has ripple effects through security and tech industries
Intel’s decision to inform Chinese technology companies about security flaws in its processors raises concerns that the information could have reached the Chinese government before being publicly divulged. PHOTO: STEINBA/EPA/SHUTTERSTOCK

In initial disclosures about critical security flaws discovered in its processors, Intel Corp. INTC 10.55% notified a small group of customers, including Chinese technology companies, but left out the U.S. government, according to people familiar with the matter and some of the companies involved.
The decision raises concerns, security researchers said, as it potentially could have allowed information about the chip flaws, dubbed Spectre and Meltdown, to fall into the hands of the Chinese government before being publicly divulged. There is no evidence any information was misused, the researchers said.
Weeks after word of the flaws first surfaced, Intel’s choices about who would receive advance warning continue to ripple through the security and tech industries.
The flaws were first identified in June by a member of Google’s Project Zero security team. Intel had planned to make the discovery public on Jan. 9—people working to protect systems from hacks often hold off on announcements while fixes are devised—but sped up its timetable when the news became widely known on Jan. 3, a day after U.K. website the Register wrote about the flaws.
Because the flaws can be leveraged to sneak sensitive data out of the cloud, information about them would be of great interest to any intelligence-gathering agency, said Jake Williams, president of the security company Rendition Infosec LLC and a former National Security Agency employee. In the past, Chinese state-linked hackers have exploited software vulnerabilities to get leverage on their targets or expand surveillance.
It is a “near certainty” Beijing was aware of the conversations between Intel and its Chinese tech partners, because authorities there routinely monitor all such communications, Mr. Williams said.
Representatives from China’s ministry in charge of information technology didn’t respond to requests for comment. The country’s foreign ministry has in the past said it is “resolutely opposed” to cyberhacking in any form.
An Intel spokesman declined to identify the companies it briefed before the scheduled Jan. 9 announcement. The company wasn’t able to tell everyone it had planned to, including the U.S. government, because the news was made public earlier than expected, he said.

Presentation on the dynamics of competition between digital economy firms like Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft (“GAFAM”). It diagnoses a divorce between the discourse of the antitrust and trade regulation technocracy – ie specialist officials, lawyers and economists – which characterizes digital economy firms as lone monopolists active on narrow product markets sheltered from competition and the perception of other communities – ie technology pundits, business strategists and investors – who keep describing those firms as healthy oligopolists at war with each other. With this background, the presentation discusses the need for antitrust reform.
China is the second-largest source of “unicorns” in the world. We expect most China unicorns to come from the Auto, FinTech, Internet, Healthcare and Tech Hard-ware sectors. Hong Kong and China exchanges are getting ready for the next big wave. Following the US, China is the second-largest source of “unicorns” (commonly defined as start-up companies with valuations of >US$1 bn).
This edition is packed with contributions from people across Endava and covers many industries. It contains really cool, innovative projects that span robotics, business intelligence, security and payments.
These projects are the cutting edge of the industry and we often use these as inspiration for clients who are embarking on a Digital Transformation programme.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been a disruptive force within the communication industry. Regulations of this new technology have yet to keep pace with the technological development of generative AI. However, within the United States, the President, Congress, federal agencies, state legislatures, and municipal governments have attempted to provide a framework to regulate AI. These regulations attempt to strike a balance between allowing the technology
to grow and guarding against issues of disinformation, discrimination, and privacy violations. This article examines the current trends in U.S. AI regulation pointing out the legal and regulatory philosophies that guide early attempts to manage generative AI platforms. The article concludes with suggestions for PR practitioners to navigate the evolving parameters of AI regulation.

Competition Law in High Technology Industries - Insights for AustraliaMartyn Taylor
Digital disruption is blowing a Schumpeterian gale of creative destruction throughout the global economy. These winds of change are delivering substantial increases in consumer welfare. The glowing glass screen of a smartphone enables us to access the library of all human knowledge. We can order any imaginable good or service; literally at our fingertips.
Yet competition challenges are arising. Firms bearing the brunt of digital disruption are seeking regulatory protection. Those firms riding the winds of change are achieving concerning levels of global market power. Global debate is occurring regarding the extent to which regulatory intervention is appropriate. The resulting level of political concern is partly evidenced by the inclusion of digital technology in Australia’s Harper Competition Review.
This paper considers unique competition issues raised by high technology industries with a particular focus on software-driven digital platforms. This paper argues that Australian competition law strikes an appropriate balance between preserving competition and promoting innovation, but continued prioritisation of high technology markets by Australian regulators and policy-makers is justified. High technology markets are as susceptible to anti-competitive behaviour as any other markets and, in some areas, particularly so.
As part of this analysis, this paper considers global trends and recent developments, particularly in the United States and European Union. In that context, this paper considers how modern competition law is now seeking to address complex questions of dynamic efficiency, innovation markets and cross-border e-commerce. This paper seeks to identify insights for Australian competition law and policy in light of the recent Harper Competition Review. Finally, this paper concludes with a number of observations, including future challenges in regulating digital platforms.

A guided tour to the internet of things in the sim connected worldMary McEvoy Carroll
Today, the majority of computing power is on smartphones not computers. The point to note here is that they’re all connected, not by an ethernet card, but by a SIM card. This industry shift is already accelerating because of the myriad of devices connected through the Internet of Things (IoT).
The 2008 Batman movie "Dark Knight" is still remembered because of its many contributions to the superhero genre. The actors in this film are highly praised for their superb performances, the most famous of which is the late actor Heath Ledger. In addition, the high-tech weapons in the movie have also raised our expectations for action movies.
This year, the team at Activate has defined the 11 most important insights for tech and media in 2018. Key points:
