Kaspersky Lab introduces free Antivirus Software

The Kaspersky Lab launched a free version of its antivirus globally. Kaspersky free was immediately available in Canada, the US and many Asia Pacific countries and in the coming months would launch in other regions, the company founder, Eugene Kaspersky, wrote in a blog post.

The free version was not planned to replace the paid version of antivirus software, Kaspersky said. Describing it as offering “the bare essentials”, such as web antivirus protection and email and automatic updates.

The free antivirus software would provide advantages to all users of Kaspersky’s’ lab by improving machine learning across its products, he said.

Kaspersky Lab founded in 1997, grew rapidly through the 2000s to become one the best antivirus software firms. But the company is suspicion for its relations with Federal Security Service (FSB) of Russia.

Objections about the firm have started in the US in recent years because of decline in the Russia-US ties following Russia’s attack of Crimea in 2014 and in 2016 when the US intelligence concluded that Russia had hacked the 2016 presidential election of the US.

The Russia denies the allegations of hacking and Kaspersky has also repeatedly denied it has any relation with any government, saying the accusation against it lacks evidence.

FBI agents visited the homes of Kaspersky employees last month as part of counterintelligence probe, and the Trump administration took steps to remove the company from the list of approved companies who sell technology to federal government agencies. A bill in the Congress that would stop the Department of Defense from the products of Kaspersky.

Privately held Kaspersky said its US revenue, most of which comes from selling antivirus to small business and consumers, dropped from $164 million in 2014 to about $156 million in 2016.

Indeed, Glassdoor to lay off 1,300 staff

Recruit Holdings, the Japanese parent of Indeed and Glassdoor, said on Friday that it is laying off about 1,300 employees, or 6% of the staff, at the two job sites.

The job cuts would affect functions mostly in the U.S. across the two companies’ R&D, tech, and HR and sustainability divisions, Reuters reported, citing an internal memo.

Reuters also reported that the company’s CEO, Hisayuki Idekoba, wrote in the memo: “AI is changing the world, and we must adapt by ensuring our product delivers truly great experiences for job seekers and employers.”

Glassdoor’s operations are also being integrated into Indeed, Reuters reported, adding that Glassdoor’s CEO Christian Sutherland-Wong would leave the company on October 1.

The job cuts come as tech companies across the world roll back their sustainability initiatives and cut jobs to balance out extensive spending on integrating AI into their businesses. Tens of thousands of people stand to lose jobs at Microsoft, TikTok, Match, Intel and Meta, per announcements in just the past couple of months.

Indeed and Glassdoor did not immediately return requests for comment outside regular business hours.

Former Intel CEO launches a benchmark to measure AI alignment

After former Intel CEO Pat Gelsinger capped off a 40+ year career at the semiconductor giant in December, many wondered where would Gelsinger go next. On Thursday, the former Intel CEO revealed one piece of his next chapter: trying to ensure AI models support a flourishing humanity.

In partnership with a “faith tech” company he first invested in roughly 10 years ago called Gloo, Gelsinger launched a new benchmark — Flourishing AI, or FAI — to test how well AI models align with certain human values. The FAI benchmark is based on The Global Flourshing Study, a survey directed by Harvard and Baylor University, to measure human well-being around the world.

Gloo took six core categories from the study — Character and Virtue; Close Social Relationships, Happiness and Life Satisfaction, Meaning and Purpose, Mental and Physical Health, Financial and Material Stability — and added one more, Faith and Spirituality, to test LLMs.

In an interview with The New Stack, Gelsinger said he’s “lived at the intersection of faith tech my entire life.”

Elon Musk’s AI company, xAI, late on Wednesday released its latest flagship AI model, Grok 4, and unveiled a new $300-per-month AI subscription plan, SuperGrok Heavy.

Grok is xAI’s answer to models like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Google’s Gemini, and can analyze images and respond to questions. In recent months, Grok has become more deeply integrated into Musk’s social network, X, which was recently acquired by xAI. However, that has also put Grok’s misbehavior front and center for millions of users.
