Zeekr adds Carro to its dealers network
KUALA LUMPUR: Premium new energy vehicle group Zeekr has appointed Carro to as its latest authorised dealer in Malaysia. Carro is Asia Pacific's largest online automotive marketplace and Malaysia's most trusted used car platform. In a joint statement today, both parties said the partnership plans include four new Zeekr showrooms and three Carro Care workshops to support retail and maintenance efforts. "Zeekr car owners can look forward to greater accessibility and convenience within the electric vehicle (EV) sector in the long run, as they look forward to the standard dealer warranty. "They can also have plus access to a full suite of end-to-end Carro services, including financing, aftersales and insurance services with Genie financial services, Carro Care and Coverro respectively," it said. Zeekr Southeast Asia managing director Alrx Bao said the positive response it had received from the Malaysian market over the past few months reflects the growing appreciation for Zeekr's premium electric vehicles. Bao said the momentum reinforces its commitment to expand the company's presence in Malaysia. "The partnership with Carro represents a significant milestone in that direction, enhancing both our sales network and after-sales capabilities to better support our customers. "This collaboration also aligns with our broader business strategy as we prepare for the introduction of our next important model, the Zeekr 7X," he said. Carro chief executive officer of international marketplace Fong Hon Sum said this is a really exciting step for the company as it offers even more automotive options to its customers in Malaysia. Fong said the company is seeing a growing market in Malaysia for hybrid and electric vehicles, with developing infrastructure and tax exemptions in place. "We are ready to provide these services to Malaysians who are keen to make the switch to EVs. "Our expertise within the EV sector has us well-placed to handle inspections, repairs, and maintenance, and we're so excited to have Zeekr as our partner," he added. There are currently three showrooms, known as Zeekr Space, in Petaling Jaya and IOI Mall Puchong.

Norton Adds Genie AI to Crush Online Scammers
Remember when email and text scams were riddled with grammatical errors that were easy to spot? Those days are gone, thanks to artificial intelligence tools that make it easier for scammers to create highly personalized and flawlessly written messages. Ironically, the most effective way to stop these next-level scams is to deploy the same AI technology used to create them. Norton, a leader in cybersecurity and creator of the AI-powered Genie app, has now added Genie Scam Protection to most of its Norton 360 antivirus and online protection plans at no additional cost. This is welcome news for anyone who's concerned about their online safety because it means you can put Norton 360's AI cybersecurity tools to work for you without having to use a second app. Go ahead, click on it With Genie AI now built into Norton's existing cybersecurity services, you don't need to lift a finger to find out if a text, email, website or link is a scam. Genie's AI engine detects hard-to-spot phishing and smishing (text message) scams across web and mobile by scanning through words and images to spot hidden scam patterns. Not only does the AI analyze the text, it looks for contextual cues in much the same way you would, allowing it to identify many of the sneakiest scams. Norton 360's built-in Private Browser also allows you to shop and do your banking, worry-free. If something isn't flagged but still looks suspicious, you can ask Genie's scam assistant for instant feedback. The Genie dashboard shows you how many scams the AI assistant has detected. Norton says that scammers target U.S. adults with nearly nine scam attempts every week, so that number might add up faster than you think. A Norton online protection plan for everyone Each Norton 360 plan includes Norton's antivirus, malware, ransomware and hacking tools, the newly added Genie AI scam protection, and Norton's Virus Protection Promise. The plans mostly differ by the number of devices covered, security perks and price. Norton AntiVirus Plus (now $29.99 the first year) covers one PC, Mac, tablet or phone. The 360 Standard plan (now $39.99 the first year) covers three devices and adds a virtual private network (VPN) and dark-web monitoring. The 360 Deluxe (now $49.99 the first year) covers five devices and throws in 50GB of cloud backup. Lastly, 360 with LifeLock Select Plus (now $99.99 the first year) is a smart choice for families, as it covers ten devices and has 250GB of cloud backup. It also gives you peace of mind, reimbursing you up to $1 million if you experience a financial loss due to identity theft. No matter which plan fits your needs, you can try it for 60 days with no upfront cost. When Genie starts showing you how many cyber threats have come your way, you'll be glad you did.

Databricks One launches to bring AI tools to all employees
Databricks has announced the launch of Databricks One, a new platform designed to make data and artificial intelligence tools available to all business users within an organisation, regardless of technical background. Databricks One introduces a code-free interface enabling users such as executives, frontline employees, and team members in finance, marketing, and sales to interact with their data using natural language queries. This update is part of a move to broaden access beyond engineers and data scientists. Accessible analytics The new offering allows employees to explore insights using AI-driven business intelligence dashboards and conversational tools such as AI/BI Genie. These features enable users to ask questions like "Why did sales spike in April?" or "Which region is underperforming and why?", with responses provided in plain language and supplemented by interactive data visualisations. With this new release, the interface has been redesigned to suit non-technical users, making it easier for them to access and interpret the data relevant to their roles. The move aligns with Databricks' stated mission to make data and AI accessible at every organisational level. "Our mission at Databricks is to democratise data + AI. Every person of every skill level should have equal access to work with data and use AI. With Databricks One, we want to make our experience for non-technical users as amazing as our experience for technical users. This is our first step of making this true so that everyone across the organisation can unlock the full value of their data and drive innovation." Ali Ghodsi, Co-founder and Chief Executive Officer of Databricks, underscored the company's aim of putting data-driven decision-making into the hands of all employees. Platform functionality Databricks One incorporates AI/BI Dashboards, allowing teams to generate visualisations and perform analytics such as forecasting and key driver analysis. Notably, none of this requires users to write code. The Genie assistant provides contextual insights and can answer questions using business-specific semantics, with future updates planned for "Deep Research," a feature to assist users in understanding root causes and summarising findings from the data. Alongside analytics, Databricks One incorporates access to Databricks Apps, which are tools organisations can use to integrate workflows that blend analytics, AI, and transactional operations in applications tailored to business needs. Underlying technology Databricks One is built atop the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform. This foundation brings several administrative and technical benefits, including a governance model supported by Unity Catalog, which enables centralised, fine-grained access controls, the organisation of resources by business domain, and consumption auditing. Identity management is managed through direct integration with identity providers such as Entra AD and Okta, and the platform is free from seat-based licensing restrictions. The platform utilises a serverless compute infrastructure to support interactive use at enterprise scale, which, according to Databricks, is offered at a competitive price-to-performance ratio. Customer experiences Organisations trialling Databricks One have highlighted the benefits of making dashboards and data tools available to a broader range of users. Christina Mottolo, Vice President of Business Applications at Wineshipping, remarked, "Through Databricks AI/BI, we developed a suite of dashboards—each of which could benefit any member of Wineshipping. With Databricks One, we will be able to securely deliver these dashboards in an environment that is intuitive and accessible for all users." At HP, the new capabilities have been implemented to speed up and simplify access to insights. Bruce Hillsberg, Vice President of Data Engineering & Insights, Technology & Innovation at HP, said, "Genie is changing how we empower teams at HP. With its intuitive natural language interface, we're enabling users to instantly access critical data, no coding required, making data-driven insights faster and more efficiently." Shahmeer Mirza, Senior Director of Data, AI/ML, and R&D at 7-Eleven, explained how the platform has shifted the internal workflow: "Our business teams have always relied on analysts for sales data and insights. Now, with Unity Catalog and Genie, we're empowering them to access data directly." Availability Databricks One is currently available in Private Preview for customers using the Databricks Data Intelligence Platform and is planned for a broader Beta release to all customers at no additional cost later in the summer.
