Elon Musk’s Space-X is gearing up to send three US astronauts and a European Space Agency crew mate to the International Space Station

The estimated 17 hour journey will be the beginning of the crew’s six-month mission as they orbit 420 kilometres above Earth.

The SpaceX launch vehicle is fitted with a two-stage Falcon 9 rocket and a Crew Dragon capsule, and was set for lift off from NASA’s Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

Musk’s company began flying US astronauts in 2020, previously launching six human spaceflights.

The launch comes just two days after another Houston-based space company returned from a two-week mission, which was the first ISS all-private astronaut crew in history.

Meanwhile, in July 2021, Blue Origin and Virgin Galactic Holding launched suborbital flights with their billionaire founders, Jeff Bezos and Richard Branson tagging along for the ride.

As businesses embrace cutting-edge tech, challenges like data sovereignty and AI are taking centre stage.

 

Over the past six months, the AI industry has seen significant advancements, with competing models such as Meta’s Luma and Google’s Gemini entering the market.

However, these developments come with a reality check. Building large language models (LLMs) requires substantial computing power and time, making immediate returns on investment unlikely.

One promising innovation is agentic AI, a step beyond generative AI, which enables proactive, automated solutions.

For instance, this technology could stabilise IT systems autonomously, diagnosing and resolving issues without human intervention.

Data sovereignty has also emerged as a key focus, with increasing emphasis on keeping data within national borders to comply with local laws. This has driven the adoption of sovereign clouds and private data centres, ensuring secure and localised data processing for AI development.

Deepak Ajmani, Vice President of ANZ & APAC Emerging Markets at Confluent, joins to discuss the evolving business landscape.
