Top Trend In Smart Container Market 2024: Technological Advancements For Temperature-Controlled LogisticsBotafogo remarkably overcame a red card shown to midfielder Gregore inside 30 seconds to beat Atlético Mineiro and win the Copa Libertadores final. Artur Jorge's side faced their fellow Brazilian outfit in Saturday's final, which was held at the Estadio Mâs Monumental in Buenos Aires. Former Manchester United star Alex Telles added to goals from Luiz Henrique and Junior Santos to win the game for Botafogo. It is the first time they have ever won the Copa Libertadores, South America's version of the Champions League . They had to do it the hard way though after Gregore was sent off within the opening minute. The incident that saw him fall foul of Facundo Figueroa came after one of Botafogo's defenders attempted to clear the ball forward. He only reached the halfway line though, with Gregore attempting to bring the ball under control. But he did so with his studs raised up, which meant he caught Mineiro star Fausto Vera on the top of the head. Vera was left sprawled on the ground and the game was paused for several minutes while he was treated. While Vera was attended to by medics, Figueroa had reached into his pocket and shown a red to Gregore. While the midfielder had motioned his hand in a 'calm down' gesture after the tackle, Chelsea icon Pat Nevin insisted it was the right decision. "Wow. I'm immediately thinking there are certain referees that will be reaching for the red for that. It's the Copa Libertadores final, you suspect a yellow but if he goes for a red you will not be shocked," he said in commentary on BBC Sport. "The players are whipped up, I get that. Less than a minute in, so whipped up. The thing is you do worry about players being injured. Look, he's going off, but you're talking about someone who's got a head injury. "A player who rolls about, you don't worry so much about. He's hasn't moved and that's a horrible kick there. The fact he looked up just after it is something. But that is a red with bells on it. "I mean I do understand to some degree, you're so whipped up and excited about it but that. There will be an argument that the head was down, but there is a duty of care, when yu're studs up down. A full speed it's a horrible looking one." Gregore did eventually head off the pitch, with Vera remarkably able to carry on until he was subbed off at half-time. By that stage, Mineiro were already two goals down after Henrique's opener and Telles' penalty. Eduardo Vargas halved the deficit two minutes into the second-half, but Mineiro were successfully held off thereafter. Santos then made sure of the win seven minutes into added time to make it a famous day for Botafogo. Join our new WhatsApp community and receive your daily dose of Mirror Football content.

Emboldened 'manosphere' accelerates threats and demeaning language toward women after US electionAs the dust settles on the initial excitement surrounding Sora's debut, it is clear that OpenAI faces an uphill battle in redeeming its reputation and restoring confidence in its products. The company will need to work diligently to address the concerns raised by this latest development and regain the trust of its customers and supporters. The setback may prove to be a valuable lesson in managing expectations and being more realistic in the claims that are made about the potential of AI technologies.
The Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyeama, on Friday, publicly admitted that staff of his airline sometimes violate regulations, the Nigeria Civil Aviation Authority (NCAA) has claimed. According to NCAA’s Director of Public Affairs and Consumer Protection, Michael Achimugu, via a post on X, Onyeama made the admittance while accepting enforcement actions taken against his airline by the regulatory agency. According to Achimugu, Onyeama said he had instructed his airline’s staff to comply with the NCAA’s regulations, particularly regarding refunds, which must be made within the timeframe stipulated in Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023. Related Stories Air Peace adds Chinua Achebe International Airport to Lagos-London Gatwick flights Keyamo criticizes FCCPC over Air Peace pricing statement, says it should have consulted NCAA first “Today, the Chairman of Air Peace, Allen Onyeama, publicly accepted the enforcement actions initiated by the NCAA, stating that he has witnessed some of the infractions by his staff, and has cautioned them to comply with the Authority by ensuring that refunds are paid within the stipulated time frame per Part 19 of the NCAA Regulations 2023,” Achimugu reported. The airline boss said he was glad that the regulatory body took endorsement action against his company. “I am glad that this has happened. I have warned my team. This shows that the NCAA knows what they are doing. I will always acknowledge it where the fault is ours, ” he was quoted to have said. Achimugu commended Onyeama for “ acknowledging the issues raised while assuring the travelling public that we will continue to protect their rights.” Earlier in the week, the NCAA announced that it was taking enforcement actions against five airlines for violating regulations of the authority. In his X post on Friday, Achimugu disclosed that Air Peace and Ethiopian Airline were among the five airlines. He said both airlines admitted their wrongs and pledged to comply with the agency’s regulations. After sharing Onyeama’s reaction, he added: “After the stakeholders meeting with domestic operators today in Lagos, an international airline, Ethiopian, was waiting to discuss with me the notification of enforcement action issued to their airline. They expressed readiness to comply with NCAA regulations going forward and said that they would send in a compliance report by tomorrow. “This is the first time in over a decade that the NCAA Consumer Protection Department is initiating sanctions against airlines. It will no longer be business as usual even as we will continue to do our duty of protecting both airlines and passengers as impartial umpires.” The enforcement action of the NCAA follows numerous complaints by customers about flight delays, abrupt cancellation of flights and delay of refunds by airlines. Some airlines, including Air Peace have been called out by Nigerians on social media for their notoriety in flight delays, poor handling of luggage, and/or poor customer service. On December 10, the NCAA threatened to sanction airlines that fail to process ticket refunds within the stipulated timeframes.The chief executive of healthcare technology firm Harrison.ai has moved to dismiss privacy concerns about his start-up, describing them as a misunderstanding as it plots an expansion into the lucrative US market. Harrison.ai gives radiologists and pathologists access to AI technology so they can more efficiently and accurately scan X-rays for cancers and illnesses. The Sydney start-up has already raised more than $150 million to pursue its stated goal of saving a million lives a day by 2025. Dimitry (left) and Aengus Tran. Credit: Louie Douvis An investigation by online publication Crikey has alleged that Harrison.ai trained its flagship product, Annalise.ai, using scans of potentially hundreds of thousands of Australians obtained by radiology provider I-MED seemingly without express consent from patients. Speaking in an interview with this masthead, Aengus Tran, who founded the company in 2018 with his brother Dimitry, said those concerns were a “misunderstanding” and that his start-up anonymises patient data to the extent it cannot be re-identified. “I think, from the outside, maybe people made an assumption that we are processing personal information,” Aengus Tran said. “A picture of your face is very different to a chest X-ray and a diagnostic report that has been anonymised and de-identified. We have a really robust anonymisation and data-protection pipeline, where data is completely stripped of personal information, and [we have] gone through quite great lengths to ensure that it cannot be re-identified. “That helps us meet the requirement of the Privacy Act and therefore enables our use of data to be fully permissible within the bounds of that act. The Privacy Act actually makes it very clear that if you thoroughly anonymise and de-identify the patient, data is no longer considered personal information.” I-MED has also published a statement calling the reports “inaccurate”. “I-MED de-identified data using best practice frameworks developed by the CSIRO and the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner,” it said. Anxiety and discussion around how artificial intelligence technologies treat customer privacy has spiked since Australia’s privacy commissioner, Carly Kind, found that retailer Bunnings had breached privacy laws with facial recognition systems that it used to combat crime. Privacy Commissioner Carly Kind has launched a preliminary inquiry into I-MED. Credit: Dion Georgopoulos Kind has launched preliminary inquiries to determine if I-MED complied with the Privacy Act through its partnership with Harrison.ai. A patient’s medical scans are among the most sensitive data types. At the core of the issue is whether scans from I-MED were truly “de-identified” when they were used for training Harrison.ai’s models. Aengus Tran says they were. A spokeswoman for the privacy commissioner’s office said its preliminary inquiries were ongoing. “I-MED has been co-operative, and we are reviewing information received from the company,” she said. “One of the key issues we are considering is whether or not personal information was de-identified,” the spokeswoman said. “Generally speaking, entities should be aware that de-identification is context-dependent and may be difficult to achieve. In addition, entities seeking to use de-identified information to train generative AI models should be aware that de-identifying personal information is a use of the personal information for a secondary purpose.” Aengus Tran said that Harrison.ai’s technology is in 131 British hospitals and now used by one in two radiologists in Australia. The start-up has grown by 300 per cent year-on-year, and Tran said the time is right to enter the US market. Harrison.ai co-founders Dimitry and Aengus Tran have done deals with Virtus Health and I-MED. Credit: George Fetting “We’ve been waiting for the right opportunity to do that,” he said. “And recently that opportunity arrived.” In October, Harrison.ai was awarded Medicare reimbursement by CMS, the US federal agency that administers the Medicare program. It means US hospitals will be paid up to $US240 a scan processed by Harrison.ai’s technology. “Alongside our 12 FDA clearances that we’ve had in the last 18 months, we feel this is the right time for an Australian company punching well above its weight to crack the American market,” Tran said. “We very much believe in keeping the centre of gravity, especially on the development side, in Australia, but we know we need to grow internationally to make the global impact we need to make. “The United States is about 50 per cent of the world’s radiology market, by volume, so we’ve established ourselves as a clear winner in the rest of the world, and we now see a doubling of our total opportunities.” Aengus’ brother Dimitry, who is Harrison.ai’s other co-founder and its deputy chief executive, has moved to Seattle to establish the start-up’s US base. The pair originally migrated to Australia from Vietnam for high school. “The US is half of the global radiology market,” Dimitry Tran said. “Building on our customer momentum in the UK, Asia and Australia, we’re in a great position to bring our technology to the US and win the market. “Relocating to the US signifies how important the market is to us ... The timing is perfect, as we make the most of our recently awarded Medicare reimbursement – our first for the US market.” Aengus said that 2025 was expected to include a significant capital raising, likely north of $100 million. The company previously raised $29 million in late 2019, and another $129 million two years later. The start-up’s backers include Blackbird Ventures, Hong Kong’s Horizons Ventures, Scott Farquhar and Kim Jackson’s Skip Capital and ASX-listed hospitals giant Ramsay Health Care. Pathology giant Sonic Healthcare and radiology provider I-MED are also investors, and Tesla chair Robyn Denholm sits on its board. “Up to this point, we’ve been building our AI technology in the radiology domain, and to add to that, next year we’ll be launching our AI technology in pathology,” Tran said. “This has been the result of our collaboration with Sonic Healthcare, and next year we’ll start launching products and commercialising that for the first time. “It’s very exciting. Radiology is very large, and there’s a road map of products that we are looking to develop across CT [scans of] chest, abdomen, pelvis and X-rays of the musculoskeletal system. So, essentially, trying to complete our AI portfolio across radiology. “The nice thing about this is that we have a proven formula. You could say that we’ve built the espresso-making machines, and we make a nice cup of coffee, and now the plan is to put more beans in and finish the job.” The Business Briefing newsletter delivers major stories, exclusive coverage and expert opinion.
