Is PlayStation 6 Under Production? Sony Teases Next-Gen Plans
Sony has confirmed that PlayStation 6 (PS6) is "top of mind" of developers as the company plans its new console offering. During a June 13 Fireside Chat, Sony Interactive Entertainment CEO and president Hideaki Nishino dropped the hint, making it the first time that the company admitted to PS5's successor. While PS5 was launched five years ago, Sony launched PS5 Pro in November last year with moderate improvements to gameplay. "Our console business has evolved into a multi-faceted platform, and we now have a large ecosystem of highly engaged players across both the PS5 and PS4 generations, so naturally therefore, there's a huge interest in our next generation console strategy," Mr Nishino said, as per IGN. "While we cannot share further details at this stage, the future of the platform is top of mind. We are committed to exploring a new and enhanced way for players to engage with our content and our services," he added. As for the future of gaming, particularly cloud gaming, Mr Nishino reaffirmed the importance of PlayStation consoles. "The business model for cloud gaming must be sustainable for the longer-term gross. Cloud gaming is progressing well from a technical standpoint, we have demonstrated with these offerings, but end-to-end network stability is not in our control. And the higher cost per playtime compared to the traditional console model remains a challenge," said Mr Nishino. "Cloud gaming is increasingly providing additional options for players to access content, but our belief is that the majority of players continue to want to experience gaming through local execution without dependency on local network conditions. And PS5 and PS5 Pro have validated this thesis, I believe." Social media reacts Reacting to the news of a potential PS6 in the works, social media users were divided, with some saying Sony had not provided enough PS5 exclusive games, while others said the console was still new. "PS5 has been out for less than 5 years, and now they wanna drop PS6???" said one user while another added: "PS5 has barely had any great PS5 ONLY games. It's been a remaster machine." A third commented: "Sony should seriously focus on bringing as many single-player titles as possible with PS6. No more remasters or live-service."

AI must be subordinate to fairness, equity, human dignity: Justice Surya Kant
Supreme Court judge Justice Surya Kant has said justice cannot be reduced to a digital product, warning that artificial intelligence (AI) must always remain subordinate to fairness, equity, and human dignity. 'Justice, unlike software, is not a product to be optimised, but a principle to be honoured. Technology must remain subordinate to our higher commitments to fairness, equity, and human dignity,' said Justice Kant, who is set to become the Chief Justice of India in November. Speaking at Microsoft's Fireside Chat on 'AI and Law' on June 6, Justice Kant cautioned that while AI promises to enhance access, efficiency, and transparency in the legal system, unchecked deployment could mirror and even magnify existing societal inequities. 'Technology, if left unchecked, can reflect and reinforce societal inequities. AI is not a perfect technology, and it can perhaps never replace the human element that the entire Rawlsian theory of justice hinges on,' he said. Rawlsian theory refers to the philosophy of justice developed by John Rawls, an American political philosopher. The core of the theory is the concept of 'justice as fairness', which aims to reconcile the seemingly competing values of freedom and equality. Justice Kant acknowledged the global nature of the challenges AI presents, particularly issues like algorithmic bias, hallucinated legal citations, and data protection. 'Take, for instance, the fictitious legal precedents that chatbots routinely come up with when faced with complex legal propositions,' said Justice Kant, warning of the risks of relying blindly on AI in sensitive domains like law. He spoke about growing cyber threats to courts and the judiciary, including ransomware attacks and doxing of judges, and said such digital risks were now 'a matter of constitutional resilience.' He said India has responded proactively, with secure e-filing platforms, the National Judicial Data Grid, and virtual hearings backed by multi-layered authentication. 'Cybersecurity is not a matter of IT hygiene, but of constitutional resilience…courts must invest not just in secure infrastructure, but in public confidence,' Justice Kant said. Justice Kant said the adoption of AI must not be driven by novelty or efficiency alone. 'We do so not as passive observers, but as stewards of a future we must shape with wisdom and purpose… Shaping the future demands more than innovation—it calls for an unwavering adherence to foundational values.' Justice Kant said India's judicial digital transformation, while ambitious, is being shaped through collaboration between technologists, judges, civil society, and academics via a dedicated Centre for Research and Planning within the Supreme Court. He referred to India's evolving legal-tech landscape and initiatives reshaping the courts including SUVAS, the Supreme Court's translation software that has enabled over 100,000 judgments in 18 regional languages, Automatic Speech Recognition (ASR) systems in Constitution Bench hearings for real-time transparency, and LegRAA, a legal research tool that aids without replacing judicial reasoning. 'These technologies are designed explicitly to support, not supplant, human judgment. It preserves the essential human element of jurisprudence, ensuring that final legal Page 6 of 13 interpretations remain firmly rooted in wisdom, compassion, and ethical discernment,' he said. Justice Kant called for building AI systems that reflect functional competence and moral clarity. 'I remain firmly convinced that any contemplation of AI must be guided by a deep moral compass. Shaping the future demands more than for an unwavering adherence to foundational values. Transparency, equity, responsibility, and respect for human dignity must not be afterthoughts, but the pillars upon which all technological advancement rests…Let this dialogue between technologists and jurists be not the end, but the beginning of a sustained collaboration, one where justice and technology walk hand in hand, with the citizen always at the centre.'

Sabah ideal for renewable energy investors
Published on: Monday, June 09, 2025 Published on: Mon, Jun 09, 2025 By: Jonathan Nicholas Text Size: Ranita (right) and Saiful (second right) with panelist Head of ESG/Sustainability at MARC Solutions Sdn Bhd, Leslie Jong Vui Min (second left). Kota Kinabalu: Sabah is a viable destination for renewable energy investment, with the potential to leverage the debt capital markets to finance major green infrastructure projects. Speaking during the Fireside Chat: Opening Doors to Renewable Energy Projects Through the Debt Capital Markets, recently, Maybank's Head of ESG Strategy and Solutions, Ranita Abdullah, said the state has already demonstrated its ability to attract green financing. Advertisement 'There's historical precedent and market appetite. Sabah is positioned to scale up its renewable portfolio, especially in solar and hydro, with appropriate financial structuring,' she said, adding that Maybank has mobilized RM160 billion in sustainable finance since 2021. She said, debt capital markets are expected to play a significant role in financing the next wave of renewable energy projects. 'Green sukuk and bonds offer long-term fixed-rate structures and access to a broader investor base. Financial institutions are more than ready. 'What matters is project quality. We assess off-take risk, regulatory certainty, and long-term viability,' Ranita said. Advertisement Director of Strategic Planning at the Sustainable Energy Development Authority (SEDA) Saiful Hakim Abdul Rahman said in Sabah, connectivity remains a major constraint. 'Sabah's resources are largely in remote areas. The challenge lies in grid access and infrastructure. A green grid will improve transmission capacity and integrate distributed renewable sources. 'Sabah has higher renewable resource diversity compared to Peninsular Malaysia, including potential in hydro, bioenergy, geothermal, and ocean energy. 'However, the state has underperformed in bioenergy uptake, due largely to feedstock inconsistency and scale challenges. 'Most bioenergy projects require long-term feedstock supply at fixed costs. Without vertical integration, this is difficult to secure,' he said. It was highlighted that solar energy has become the preferred option for Sabah due to its scalability, declining costs, and shorter development time. Compared to hydro or bioenergy, which often require significant lead time, environmental assessments, and infrastructure buildout, solar installations can be deployed more rapidly and are less site-constrained. Sabah's high solar irradiance also supports consistent generation potential, making it attractive for investors seeking predictable returns. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
