China advocates for global AI group
In order to better mitigate the growing risks related to Artificial Intelligence and its concentration in a select few countries, Chinese Premier Li Qiang is urging leaders to form a global AI group. At an AI conference in Shanghai, Li emphasised the need for international exchanges on the technology, with China to lead the global initiative, Bloomberg reported. The comments come in the wake of the US unveiling its own AI action plan designed to ensure the nation dominates AI in the future. The US plan is focused on cutting regulations, including streamlining processes permitting data centres, chip manufacturing and energy infrastructure. It also aims to make US hardware and software the global standard for AI. The Premier argued key resources and capabilities are currently concentrated in a few countries and companies, adding 'if we engage in technological monopoly, controls and restrictions, AI will become an exclusive game for a small number of countries and enterprises,' Bloomberg wrote. He also acknowledged a shortage of AI chips was a major bottleneck for China, the news agency noted. Source: Mobile World Live Image Credit: Stock Image

Earthquake of magnitude 6.0 jolts West of Macquarie Island
An earthquake of magnitude 6.0 on the Richter Scale jolted the West of Macquarie Island, a statement by the National Center for Seismology (NCS) said. The earthquake occurred at a shallow depth of 10km, making it susceptible to aftershocks. In a post on X, the NCS, "EQ of M: 6.0, On: 25/07/2025 16:52:03 IST, Lat: 55.51 S, Long: 146.27 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: West of Macquarie Island." EQ of M: 6.0, On: 25/07/2025 16:52:03 IST, Lat: 55.51 S, Long: 146.27 E, Depth: 10 Km, Location: West of Macquarie Island.

Shallow earthquakes are generally more dangerous than deep earthquakes. This is because the seismic waves from shallow earthquakes have a shorter distance to travel to the surface, resulting in stronger ground shaking and potentially more damage to structures and greater casualties. Major shallow earthquakes on the Macquarie Ridge in the past 100 years have exposed two seismic gaps, one centred on Macquarie Island. The Macquarie Ridge was created by crustal shortening due to oblique convergence of oceanic crust of the Pacific and Australian Plates.
