Russia has declared an ultimatum, ending its collaboration with western countries over the International Space Station until sanctions are lifted

Russia’s space director says this is the only way that the relationship between Russia and other countries will improve.

Head of Roscosmos took to social media to say that the sanctions are killing the Russian economy and plunging its “people into despair and hunger, to get” Russia “on its knees”.

He says “that the restoration of normal relations between the partners at the International Space Station and other projects is possible only with full and unconditional removal of illegal sanctions”.

It is not yet clear when exactly the cooperation will end.

This comes only weeks after the European Space Agency suspended its cooperation with Roscosmos over its Mars rover mission.

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.
