BBVA wins plaudits from OpenAI for ChatGPT5 tests
During the global launch of its new language model, OpenAI has identified BBVA as one of the first institutions to adopt the technology in the financial sector, cutting weeks off the time to conduct technical tasks. 0 The collaboration between BBVA and OpenAI began in May 2024, and since then, 11,000 licences have been deployed across the Spanish bank. Over 80% of users use the licenses daily and report saving nearly three hours per week on routine tasks. The latest iteration of ChatGPT represents improvements in accuracy, speed, reasoning, contextual understanding, structured thinking, and problem-solving. Speaking at the ChatGPT5 launch, Olivier Godement, global head of the platform at OpenAI, explained how the bank has been testing the functionalities of the new model, which has enabled it to complete highly strategic financial analysis tasks in just a few hours — tasks that typically require two to three weeks of work. Elena Alfaro, BBVA's global head of AI Adoption, comments: 'GPT-5 marks a significant leap forward for us at BBVA, not only in how our people interact with AI thanks to deeper responses that are more useful, but also in advancing our aspirations toward multi-step agent automation. 'The new model is demonstrating great potential, especially in writing code and handling technical tasks.' Alfaro also highlighted its ability to handle the Spanish language, which he describes as a major milestone in a context where language models are typically trained primarily in English.

Trump nominates Bureau of Statistics critic to lead agency after previous head fired over bleak report
The Trump administration has nominated economist Dr. E.J. Antoni to be the next Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, after the president alarmed observers by firing the previous chief at the beginning of the month over his anger at a poor July jobs report. 'I am pleased to announce that I am nominating Highly Respected Economist, Dr. E.J. Antoni, as the next Commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics,' Trump wrote on Truth Social, nodding towards the previous firing. 'Our Economy is booming, and E.J. will ensure that the Numbers released are HONEST and ACCURATE. I know E.J. Antoni will do an incredible job in this new role. Congratulations E.J.!' Antoni currently serves as chief economist at the conservative Heritage Foundation, a think tank closely aligned with the administration. He was a contributor to the group's Project 2025, a controversial blueprint document outlining many of the moves the Trump administration has taken in office. The economist was reportedly among a handful of candidates under discussion after Trump removed Erika McEntarfer, whom he accused of using 'phony' numbers in the July jobs report that showed private companies adding just 73,000 positions, below projections. Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon pushed for Antoni's nomination shortly after McEntarfer was fired. 'E.J. Antoni as the new head of Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's what we're pushing. He's the guy that almost single-handedly took it down by going through their numbers,' Bannon said on his podcast. Antoni, who will face Senate confirmation, wrote on X last week that the bureau, part of the Labor Department, needed to revise its methods to 'rebuild the trust that has been lost over the last several years.' The bureau conducts wide-ranging surveys of American households and business and its statistics are an important benchmark for the wider economy, impacting everything from investment returns to pension payments. 'If the administration undermines the quality of economic statistics, it would make it impossible for our tax laws to work as Congress intended,' Greg Leiserson, a senior fellow at the Tax Law Center at NYU Law, told the Wall Street Journal after McEntarfer got the axe. Administration officials argue the bureau has become unreliable. "You want to be able to have somewhat reliable numbers,' Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told CBS News earlier this month. 'There are always revisions, but sometimes you see these revisions go in really extreme ways.' Former officials said revisions to the bureau's data, which triggered furor from the administration, are in fact a regular part of the process, and that the commissioner has little direct role within the agency's information gathering. 'The commissioner doesn't do anything to collect the numbers,' William Beach, nominated to serve the position during the first Trump administration, recently told CNN. 'The commissioner doesn't see the numbers until Wednesday before they're published.' The questions surrounding the BLS are part of larger concerns over the Trump economy, including continued uncertainty over the impact of his often-revised tariff plan, which most recently included another 90-day pause for tariff hikes on China. A Times of London/YouGov poll from earlier this month found that 48 percent of Americans graded Trump's job performance over the first six months of his administration as poor, compared to 21 percent who rated it excellent, 16 percent who rated it good and 11 percent who rated it as fair. Four in 10 Americans said that Trump's tariffs will make the country poorer and stifle economic growth.

City trader whose Libor rate-rigging conviction was quashed reveals why he has bonded with Amanda Knox
A financial market trader jailed for manipulating benchmark interest rates before his conviction was quashed has revealed why he bonded with Amanda Knox. Ex-Citigroup and UBS trader Tom Hayes was found guilty of conspiracy to defraud over manipulating the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (Libor) from 2006 to 2010. Another trader, Carlo Palombo, the former vice president of euro rates at Barclays bank, was also found guilty of conspiring with others to submit false or misleading Euro Interbank Offered Rate (Euribor) submissions between 2005 and 2009. The Court of Appeal dismissed appeals from both men in March 2024 - but they went to the Supreme Court. There, justices found last month there was 'ample evidence' for a jury to convict the two men had it been properly directed, but they had not. Now, speaking to Andy Coulson's Crisis What Crisis? podcast, Mr Hayes compared his case to that of Ms Knox, who was eventually exonerated in the 2007 murder of her British flatmate Meredith Kercher in Italy after a long battle to clear her name. He said: 'For someone like Amanda, and for someone like me, where quote unquote ' crime ' was a state of mind defence, you can never definitively prove your innocence. 'And she and I will for always have people who say, 'Oh, she must have done it.' And yes, OK, they said she is innocent, but I think she did do it. You know, no smoke without fire. 'And my situation is, oh it was a technicality, and I never have the chance, they've not elected to retry me, I've not had the chance to go before 12 people with proper evidence, proper cases in law, proper jury directions, and prove those people wrong. 'And so I, like her, have to live my life, in some respects, basically accepting that there's always going to be people who think I'm guilty. I'm never going to change their mind and there's next to no point in me trying to, because the decision has been made by them.' Mr Hayes, 45, struck up an email friendship with Ms Knox after his mother put a copy of the American's memoir, Waiting To Be Heard, in a bag she had packed for her son to take into prison. He emailed her via her website and she replied, before they began to exchange emails in which they shared their experiences of being in prison and in the public glare. Police discovered the body of foreign exchange student Ms Kercher in her bedroom in Perugia on November 2, 2007. They said the 21-year-old's throat had been slashed and she had been sexually assaulted. Ms Knox and her then boyfriend, Raffaele Sollecito, were arrested and later convicted of murder and sexual assault in 2009. The couple maintained their innocence and, after years of legal battles, she and Mr Sollecito were acquitted of sexual assault and murder by Italy's highest court in 2015. Rudy Hermann Guede was convicted of Ms Kercher's murder in 2008. Mr Hayes, whose conviction was quashed on July 23, also told the podcast how the magnitude of his victory only sunk in when he received a letter from his sister. He said: 'I got asked how do you feel, and the closest I could find to it, the closest experience I could relate to in relation to winning was actually how I felt when I lost the very first time and went to prison. 'Like a bit… I couldn't quite believe it. Like, has this actually happened, after all of these years, 12 years of litigation? It took like three or four days and then I got a letter from my sister. 'It was when I opened the read that letter that it really started to mean something for me as something that actually happened, like it actually became a bit more real. 'And she'd written to me every, every week when I was in prison and I filed the letters, I've got them in a big lever arch filed in chronological order. 'I just opened that letter on a Saturday morning and then it sort of hit me, I just sort of broke down a little bit. It was like for the first time I sort of let the emotion get to me. I won't read you the whole of her letter, but I'd just love to read you the last paragraph.' Mr Hayes revealed that it said: 'I'm so proud of you, Tom. Here's to never writing you a letter ever again. The end of an era, and what an end.' The trader was jailed for 14 years after his conviction in 2015, which was later lowered to 11 years after an appeal; while Mr Palombo was jailed for four years in 2019. Mr Hayes also spoke about the birth and name of his daughter a few weeks ago, revealing it is 'Themy' - a derivation of Themis, the Greek goddess of justice. He told the podcast that when he went to the Registration Office to register her name, his girlfriend asked him: 'What's going to happen if you lose the case? You're going to be annoyed if you've called her justice in ancient Greek.' But Mr Hayes said he replied: 'No, because even if we lose, I still believe in justice. I still believe that it can and it should and it will happen eventually.' He continued: 'Because the moment you lose belief in that, and believe me, so many people do, so many people give up, then you're letting them defeat you. 'And even if in defeat you still believe in the principle, then you know, that for me is a good thing.' Mr Hayes added: 'I think in an ideal world I wouldn't let it define me. But in a realistic world, I think forever it will define me. You know, forever I'm going to have a Wikipedia entry. 'When Themy gets asked, 'Why are you called Themy?' And she says, 'I'm named after Themis the Greek goddess of justice. My dad was wrongfully convicted for five and a half years and the Supreme Court overturned his verdict.' 'I'm always going to have a Supreme Court decision named after me, which is now like precedent law.' He also has a first son, Joshua, with his former wife Sarah Tighe. They separated in 2019 during his imprisonment. In an 82-page judgment issued on July 23, with which Supreme Court president Lord Reed, Lords Hodge and Lloyd-Jones and Lady Simler agreed, Lord Leggatt said the jury misdirection 'undermined the fairness of the trial' and made both convictions unsafe. He added: 'Mr Hayes was entitled to have his defence to the allegation that he agreed to procure false submissions as well as his denial that he had acted dishonestly left fairly to the jury. 'He was deprived of that opportunity by directions which were legally inaccurate and unfair. It is not possible to say that, if the jury had been properly directed, they would have been bound to return verdicts of guilty. 'The convictions are therefore unsafe and cannot stand.' Lord Leggatt continued: 'When the flaws in the directions given at Mr Palombo's trial are considered in combination, it cannot safely be assumed that, without them, the jury would still have been bound to convict Mr Palombo. Thus, his conviction also cannot stand.' The Libor rate was previously used as a reference point around the world for setting millions of pounds worth of financial deals, including car loans and mortgages. It was an interest rate average calculated from figures submitted by a panel of leading banks in London, with each one reporting what it would be charged were it to borrow from other institutions. Euribor was created along with the euro currency in 1999 as a benchmark rate of interest for transactions in euros. In 2012, the Serious Fraud Office (SFO) began criminal investigations into traders it suspected of manipulating Libor and Euribor. Mr Hayes was the first person to be prosecuted by the SFO, who opposed his and Mr Palombo's appeals at the Supreme Court. The SFO brought prosecutions against 20 individuals between 2013 and 2019, seven of whom were convicted at trial, two pleaded guilty and 11 were acquitted. Mr Hayes had also been facing criminal charges in the US but these were dismissed after two other men involved in a similar case had their convictions reversed in 2022. In a statement issued after the judgment last month, the SFO said it would not be seeking a retrial.
