无接触消费限额将于三月飙升至£100

英国数百万人将能够自行设置无接触式卡支付限额,甚至可以不设限额,因为金融行为监管局(FCA)已确认£100无接触式卡支付限额将于三月份取消。

根据FCA的规定,银行和卡提供商将有权设置最大单笔支付金额或无限额,无需输入四位数字PIN。监管机构还鼓励银行允许卡持有者自行设置个人限额,或完全关闭无接触式功能。一些银行已经提供此功能,允许客户控制自己的支出并防止未经授权的交易。

尽管FCA自己的调查显示消费者和行业代表对此次变更的兴趣不大,但FCA认为,给予客户更多控制权将从长远来看带来益处。“我们正在给予消费者更多控制权,让他们能够就自己的财务做出明智的决定,”FCA发言人说。

取消£100无接触式卡支付限额是无接触式支付领域的一项重大发展。根据FCA的数据,无接触式支付近年来越来越受欢迎,数百万人使用它们进行日常购买。然而,无接触式支付不设限额引发了人们对未经授权交易风险的担忧。

FCA决定取消限额是促进金融包容和保护消费者的更广泛努力的一部分。“我们致力于确保消费者能够使用安全方便的支付方式,”FCA发言人说。“通过给予消费者更多控制权,我们有助于促进金融包容和防止金融损害。”

£100无接触式卡支付限额的取消将于三月份生效,银行和卡提供商预计将在未来几周内开始实施这些变化。建议消费者与银行或卡提供商核实,以查看他们是否会提供新的功能。

相关新闻中,一些消费者对取消限额表示担忧,援引未经授权交易的风险。然而,其他人欢迎这一变化,称它将给他们更多控制权。“我认为让消费者更多控制权是一个好主意,”一位消费者说。“它将帮助我跟踪支出并防止未经授权的交易。”

FCA决定取消£100无接触式卡支付限额是无接触式支付领域的一项重大发展。随着无接触式支付的使用继续增长,将会有趣地看到消费者如何适应新的功能,以及银行和卡提供商如何应对不断变化的格局。

AI Boosterism Exposed: High-Profile Spat Reveals Dark Side of AI Hype

A recent social media exchange between AI researchers highlights the dangers of AI boosterism, where exaggerated claims about AI's capabilities can mislead the public and undermine trust in the field. The incident involved a claim that Google's rival, OpenAI, had used its large language model, GPT-5, to solve 10 long-standing mathematical problems, only to be debunked by a mathematician who pointed out that the model may have simply accessed existing solutions in a vast database of mathematical papers. This episode underscores the need for responsible communication about AI's limitations and potential.

Scientists Mimic First Moments of Human Pregnancy in Lab

Researchers have successfully created a lab-grown model of early pregnancy by merging human embryos with organoids mimicking the uterus lining, allowing them to study the implantation process in unprecedented detail. This breakthrough, achieved through microfluidic chips and engineered tissues, could lead to improved IVF outcomes and a deeper understanding of early pregnancy. The studies, published in Cell Press, mark the most accurate lab recreations of the first days of pregnancy to date.

China's Flatline: Carbon Emissions Hold Steady Amid Global Climate Concerns

In a year marked by record-high greenhouse gas emissions and devastating climate-fueled disasters, China's remarkable achievement of flatlining carbon dioxide emissions stands out as a beacon of hope. Despite a growing economy and increasing electricity demands, China's emissions have remained steady for the past 18 months, a significant shift from previous periods of economic growth. This breakthrough is attributed to a surge in renewable energy installations, including solar and wind power, which now account for over 40% of China's electricity generation.

Tech Whistleblower Takes Extreme Measures to Evade Smartphone Spies

Ronald Deibert, director of the Citizen Lab, a counterintelligence research center at the University of Toronto, travels with the assumption that his personal devices are being surveilled, highlighting the increasing risk of digital espionage. As a leading expert in cyberthreats, Deibert has exposed numerous digital abuses, but now cites the US as a prime example of a liberal democracy under assault, with its democratic norms and values at risk. By purchasing new devices in a public setting, Deibert aims to minimize the risk of his devices being compromised, a common tactic used by those under surveillance.

OpenAI Concedes Prompt Injection a Persistent Threat, Enterprises Must Adapt

OpenAI has acknowledged that prompt injection, a form of AI manipulation, is a permanent threat that cannot be fully eliminated, likening it to scams and social engineering on the web. This admission highlights the significant gap between AI deployment and defense, with a recent survey revealing that only a third of organizations have implemented dedicated prompt injection defenses. As a result, enterprises are left vulnerable to this persistent threat, underscoring the need for improved readiness and defenses against AI manipulation.

Apple's $20,000 App Course: Is the Price Tag Worth the Promise of Equal Access?

Apple's Developer Academy in Detroit, launched as a response to the Black Lives Matter protests, has invested nearly $30 million in training over 1,700 students, with 600 completing the 10-month course. However, graduates like Lizmary Fernandez, who struggled with a lack of financial support and insufficient coursework, raise questions about the program's value and long-term impact. With tech giants investing heavily in AI-related job training, the Apple academy's model and outcomes will be closely watched as a benchmark for similar initiatives.
