TORONTO — The co-founders of two of Canada's top artificial intelligence firms say companies in the country are buzzing with excitement around the technology but turning that enthusiasm into products and tools takes too long. Cohere co-founder Nick Frosst says he has grown used to being approached by Canadian firms wanting to work with AI but they're slow to actually implement the technology. Frosst says it is hard to pinpoint where that lack of urgency comes from but he thinks part of it is embedded in Canada's culture. Nicole Janssen, the co-founder of AltaML, has had a similar experience. She says it takes 18 months for companies reaching out to her business to commit to using AI and then another 18 months to start doing something with it. She says the danger in this long lead time is that people get tired of devoting energy and resources to projects that are not immediately giving them a return on their investment and then this work falls to the wayside.

There are calls to punish Indian bowler Mohammed Siraj after he became frustrated during an unexpected incident at Adelaide Oval on Friday night. A “beer snake bandit” (carrying an impressive effort, it must be said) decided to run behind the sight screen just as Marnus Labuschagne was facing up to Siraj.

Know the news with the 7NEWS app: Download today Distracted, Labuschagne pulled out of his stance and pointed to the man running behind the sight screen, but an angry Siraj decided to throw the ball at the stumps (or possibly Labuschagne), and gestured at the Australian. While star Seven commentator James Brayshaw wondered how security didn’t stop it, Greg Blewett noted that Siraj was “not happy”. “You don’t often see a fast bowler when he gets stopped just about before he releases the ball,” Blewett said. The crowd also became involved. “You got the boos when the replay came on the big screen when he threw the ball,” Blewett said. And Ricky Ponting added: “I think his emotions got the better of him there, I think that was an attempted bouncer (on the follow-up ball).” Cricket fans immediately lashed Siraj’s action on social media. “Very unprofessional of Siraj. Not expected at the highest level,” one fan said.. “Pretty pathetic from Siraj. If Marnus did this unreasonably then the reactions fair. But get a grip, champ,” another said. “He will be fined 50% match fee for dissent, they won’t take this lightly,” another said. And another: “Completely unacceptable behaviour.” And another: “Siraj should grow up. it’s pathetic what he did.” And another: “Siraj should be banned for some Tests. That guy is way too arrogant.” There were also calls to ban the man who caused the interruption with his ‘beer snake’. “The man walking across the sight screen should be banned from entering any cricket ground for a couple of years. No spectator is within his rights to disrupt play, least not when a Test match is in progress.” With his Test career on the line amid a stretch of low returns — eight scores under 10 runs in his previous nine innings — Labuschagne’s spot was openly in question as he walked out to bat in the second Test against India. But Labuschagne (20no) and Test novice Nathan McSweeney (38no) won the Friday night battle under and guided Australia to 1-86 in reply to India’s 180 all out. Pre-match, Labuschagne’s captain Pat Cummins forecast the No.3 batter would be more proactive in a bid to emerge from his form slump. But not even Cummins would have predicted this. Labuschagne went directly and theatrically into a duel with the world’s No.1 fast bowler, Jasprit Bumrah. The Indian strike bowler — with a pink ball moving appreciably under lights — had just taken a wicket but was nearing the end of his spell. Bumrah delivered one drama-charged over to the out-of-sorts Labuschagne. The Australian played a defensive shot and shouted “wait on” as the ball rolled to Bumrah, daringly eyeballing the Indian star. Bumrah sent down a searing next delivery which beat Labschagne’s outside edge - the Australian again eyeballed the paceman as Indians chirped in the background. Labuschagne survived the over. The Queenslander - whose previous nine knocks were three, two, six, 90, two, one, five, three and one not out - faced 18 balls before scoring a run. He inside-edged his 19th delivery for two, leg-glanced for four two balls later, then scored three through midwicket. Labuschagne and McSweeney, who played some sweet pull shots in his third Test innings, put Australia in a position of power entering day two. “It was a good way to finish the day,” said Australian paceman Mitchell Starc, who took a career-best 6-48 in India’s innings. “The last session is arguably the hardest time to bat ... for Marnie and McSweeney to fight through that sustained pressure from a quality bowling attack and come out the other end with a chance then to go on tomorrow (Saturday), it was fantastic from them.” Starc then added, pointedly, that the pair’s performance came with “obviously a fair bit of outside noise, particularly from this (media) room”. - With AAPNone

Hezbollah fires about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel in heaviest barrage in weeks BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah has fired about 250 rockets and other projectiles into Israel, wounding seven people in one of the militant group’s heaviest barrages in months. Sunday's attacks in northern and central Israel came in response to deadly Israeli strikes in central Beirut on Saturday. Israel struck southern Beirut on Sunday. Meanwhile, negotiators press on with cease-fire efforts to halt the all-out war. And Lebanon's military says an Israeli strike on a Lebanese army center in the southwest killed one soldier and wounded 18 others. Israel's military has expressed regret and said its operations are directed solely against the militants. Israel cracks down on Palestinian citizens who speak out against the war in Gaza UMM AL-FAHM, Israel (AP) — In the year since the war in Gaza broke out, Israel's government has been cracking down on dissent among its Palestinian citizens. Authorities have charged Palestinians with “supporting terrorism” because of posts online or for demonstrating against the war. Activists and rights watchdogs say Palestinians have also lost jobs, been suspended from schools and faced police interrogations. Palestinians make up about 20% of Israel's population. Many feel forced to self-censor out of fear of being jailed and further marginalized in society. Others still find ways to dissent, but carefully. Israel's National Security Ministry counters that, “Freedom of speech is not the freedom to incite.” Somalia says 24 people have died after 2 boats capsized in the Indian Ocean MOGADISHU, Somalia (AP) — Somalia's government says 24 people died after two boats capsized off the Madagascar coast in the Indian Ocean. Somalia’s Foreign Minister Ahmed Moalim Fiqi said 46 people were rescued. Most of the passengers were young Somalis, and their intended destination remains unclear. Many young Somalis embark every year on dangerous journeys in search of better opportunities abroad. A delegation led by the Somali ambassador to Ethiopia is scheduled to travel to Madagascar on Monday to investigate the incident and coordinate efforts to help survivors. Forecasts warn of possible winter storms across US during Thanksgiving week WINDSOR, Calif. (AP) — Forecasters in the U.S. have warned of another round of winter weather that could complicate travel leading up to Thanksgiving. California is bracing for more snow and rain while still grappling with some flooding and small landslides from a previous storm. The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for California's Sierra Nevada through Tuesday, with heavy snow expected at high elevations. Thousands remained without power in the Seattle area on Sunday after a “bomb cyclone” storm system hit the West Coast last week, killing two people. Republicans lash out at Democrats' claims that Trump intelligence pick Gabbard is 'compromised' FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — Republican lawmakers are pushing back against criticism from some Democrats that President-elect Donald Trump’s pick to lead U.S. intelligence services is “compromised” by her comments supportive of Russia and a meeting with an ally of that country. The accusation came from Sen. Tammy Duckworth. The Illinois Democrat says she has concerns about the pro-Russian views expressed by Tulsi Gabbard, who was tapped for the post of director of national intelligence. Duckworth’s comments on Sunday drew immediate backlash from Republicans. The rising price of paying the national debt is a risk for Trump's promises on growth and inflation WASHINGTON (AP) — Donald Trump has big plans for the economy. He also has big debt problem that'll be a hurdle to delivering on those plan. Trump has bold ambitions on tax cuts, tariffs and other programs. But high interest rates and the price of repaying the federal government’s existing debt could limit what he’s able to do. The federal debt stands at roughly $36 trillion, and the spike in inflation after the pandemic has pushed up the government’s borrowing costs such that debt service next year will easily exceed spending on national security. Moscow offers debt forgiveness to new recruits and AP sees wreckage of a new Russian missile KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law granting debt forgiveness to new army recruits who enlist to fight in Ukraine. The measure, whose final version appeared on a government website Saturday, underscores Russia’s needs for military personnel in the nearly 3-year-old war, even as it fired last week a new intermediate-range ballistic missile. Russia has ramped up military recruitment by offering increasing financial incentives to those willing to fight in Ukraine. Ukraine’s Security Service on Sunday showed The Associated Press wreckage of the new intermediate-range ballistic missile that struck a factory in the central Ukrainian city of Dnipro on Thursday. After Trump's win, Black women are rethinking their role as America's reliable political organizers ATLANTA (AP) — Donald Trump's victory has dismayed many politically engaged Black women, and they're reassessing their enthusiasm for politics and organizing. Black women often carry much of the work of getting out the vote, and they had vigorously supported the historic candidacy of Kamala Harris. AP VoteCast, a survey of more than 120,000 voters, found that 6 in 10 Black women said the future of democracy was the single most important factor for their vote this year, a higher share than for other demographic groups. But now, some Black women are renewing calls to emphasize rest, focus on mental health and become more selective about what fight they lend their organizing power to. Pakistani police arrest thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of rally in the capital ISLAMABAD (AP) — A Pakistani security officer says police have arrested thousands of Imran Khan supporters ahead of a rally in Islamabad to demand the ex-premier’s release from prison. Khan has been behind bars for more than a year. But he remains popular and his party says the cases against him are politically motivated. Police Sunday arrested more than 4,000 Khan supporters in eastern Punjab province, a Khan stronghold. They include five parliamentarians. Pakistan has sealed off the capital with shipping containers. It also suspended mobile and internet services “in areas with security concerns.” 'Wicked' and 'Gladiator' make gravity-defying theater debuts NEW YORK (AP) — “Wicked” and “Gladiator II” have debuted in theaters with a combined $270 million in ticket sales. Their worldwide performance breathed fresh life into global box office results that have struggled lately. Together the films turned the moviegoing weekend into one of the busiest of the year. Jon M. Chu’s lavish big-budget musical “Wicked,” starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, debuted with $114 million domestically and $164.2 million globally. Ridley Scott’s “Gladiator II” is a sequel to his 2000 best picture-winning original and launched with $55.5 million in ticket sales. “Moana 2” is being released Wednesday, so it looks like Hollywood might be looking at historic sales over the Thanksgiving holiday.NEW YORK , Nov. 21, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- S&P Global Market Intelligence has released a report today highlighting the convergence in public and private credit markets. The newly published Public and Private Markets Outlook: Converging on Credit is part of S&P Global Market Intelligence's Big Picture 2025 Outlook Report Series. In this new report, S&P Global Market Intelligence's capital markets analysts highlight how public and private credit markets have become increasingly intertwined in 2024, and why we expect this trend to continue in 2025. Public debt markets have grown, but not at the expense of the $1.5 trillion private markets, which continue their rapid expansion. " It may be no coincidence that the fall in Credit Default Swap (CDS) credit events aligns with the growth in provision of private credit. Many companies now have recourse to lines of credit from private sources to an extent not seen in previous cycles. This trend is likely to continue in 2025 but may raise questions about the transparency and measurement of credit risk in private credit funds, where the exposure is ultimately shifted," said Gavan Nolan , Executive Director at S&P Global Market Intelligence.
