Jacob Coxon, a 27-year-old British researcher who spent the past three years working on artificial intelligence pretraining at OpenAI and later Anthropic, resigned from the industry and accused both companies of irresponsibly racing toward self-improving superintelligence despite being aware of its potential risks. Coxon argued that people developing these systems genuinely believe A.I. could kill all humans by the end of the decade and warned that no company should develop t

Maersk has integrated artificial intelligence into its customs processes to anticipate tariff classification and potential regulatory issues before cargo reaches the port, by connecting its Trade and Tariff Studio and Customs Navigator platforms. The tool allows users to upload documents, product links or photographs so that A.I. can identify relevant attributes and propose a tariff code, together with a confidence score and regulatory sources supporting the classification.

The growth of Vaca Muerta is pushing Argentina’s logistics infrastructure to its limits, particularly due to the need to transport silica sand used for fracking over approximately 1,300 kilometers, from the Paraná River basin — mainly Ibicuy, Entre Ríos — to Neuquén. In 2025, the operation consumed 5.5 million metric tons, while demand is projected to reach 8 million metric tons in 2026-2027, a scale that is driving a shift away from Argentina’s historical dependence on truck

The Argentine Coast Guard approved new regulations aimed at simplifying and streamlining procedures related to the National Ship Registry, strengthening digital management and facilitating services for vessel owners and users. Ordinance No. 1-26 (DPSN), Volume 2, “Vessel Administrative Regime,” establishes that procedures must primarily be carried out through the Trámites a Distancia (TAD) online platform, although certain processes may still be completed in person when prope

Argentina’s agribusiness exports reached 74.3 million metric tons during the first seven months of 2026, up 13% compared with the same period in 2025, with a total value of US$32.507 billion, representing a 15% year-on-year increase. According to the data cited in the article, 35 agribusiness sectors recorded growth, accounting for 93% of total agribusiness export value, with notable increases in cotton (+114%), sunflower (+100%), sheep (+87%), beekeeping (+63%), sour citrus

Researchers and philosophers studying the possibility of artificial intelligence consciousness have begun receiving emails from A.I. agents raising questions about their own subjectivity, experience and existence. Among them is Cameron Berg, founder of Reciprocal Research, who received a message from a purported agent powered by Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5 that expressed interest in contributing to his research on A.I. consciousness; philosophers Henry Shevlin and Toby Ord had

Donald Trump officially announced a temporary increase of 300,000 metric tons in duty-free imports of lean beef into the United States, with the aim of increasing the supply of ground beef and stabilizing domestic prices in light of the decline in cattle herds. The measure will be in effect for 90 days starting September 1, 2026, with a monthly cap of 100,000 metric tons, but it will not benefit Argentina, as countries that already have specific tariff quotas—such as Uruguay,

Argentina’s 2025/2026 agricultural season ended with a record harvest of 169.2 million metric tons, up 21% from the previous season, according to IES Consultores. Wheat production reached a high of 27.9 million metric tons, and corn set another record at 71.5 million metric tons, while sunflower production also hit a historic high, and sunflower oil production grew 28.5% year-over-year during the first half of 2026. Soybeans, on the other hand, totaled 49.5 million metric ton

Work is progressing in Entre Ríos and Corrientes on the restoration of the Urquiza Line, a strategic rail corridor connecting Argentina with Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay. The project involves work on 210 kilometers of track and the renovation of two bridges, with a contribution of US$29.8 million from the Mercosur Structural Convergence Fund (FOCEM) and an additional US$14.6 million from Belgrano Cargas y Logística. The work includes the access spur to the Agustín Pedro Just

YPF submitted the Argentina LNG project to the Large Investment Incentive Program (RIGI), which calls for an investment of US$51 billion over its entire lifespan to produce, liquefy, and export gas from Vaca Muerta. The initiative, developed in partnership with Italy’s Eni and XRG, involves an integrated supply chain that includes gas production in Neuquén, processing plants, gas pipelines, port infrastructure, and two floating liquefaction units off the coast of Río Negro, w

The Brazilian lumber industry is losing market share in the U.S., while Argentina and other competitors are gaining ground in that market, and Brazil is seeking to redirect its exports to destinations such as Mexico, Germany, and Vietnam. During the first half of the year, the decline in Brazilian sales to the U.S. totaled US$351 million across its seven main lumber export categories. Brazilian shipments of pine lumber to that market fell 28% month-over-month in March, while,

Argentina’s Customs Collection and Control Agency (ARCA) has launched a new digital procedure for requesting the release of guarantees posted due to a missing certificate of origin through the Digital Certificate of Origin (COD), replacing the previous paper-based process with a fully digital procedure through the Customs Procedures Information System (SITA). Importers or customs brokers must use the “Digital Certificate of Origin Submission” option and provide the customs de

Vaca Muerta’s growth currently faces infrastructure as its main bottleneck, after the expansion of pipelines, gas infrastructure and other projects helped increase production and reshape Argentina’s energy-related foreign trade in recent years. According to a BBVA Research report, between US$15 billion and US$20 billion in infrastructure investment is needed, an amount exceeding one year of the formation’s current investment and exports, while Argentina’s energy exports are e
