ISLAMABAD — The Reko Diq copper and gold mine project — one of the largest copper mines if commissioned as planned — in Pakistan has now secured $6 billion in loan pledges, after a Saudi Arabian investor pulled out, pushing Barrick Mining, the Canadian mine developer, to seek financing from U.S. and other international lenders.
New solution delivers runtime protection for AI models in media, broadcast and post-production environments—launching at AES AI/ML London and IBC Amsterdam ’25.
AI powers media workflows but edge deployment leaves models exposed. Fusion AI secures intellectual property, protecting companies’ innovations and competitive advantage in any environment.”
— Andrew Kirk, CEO of PACE Anti-Piracy
SILICON VALLEY, CA, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ — PACE Anti-Piracy, Inc., a pioneer in software security and licensing, today announced Fusion AI, a new solution purpose-built to protect deployed AI models from reverse engineering and IP theft—especially those used in audio engineering, broadcast workflows, and media post-production.
Unveiled ahead of IBC 2025 in Amsterdam and the 2025 AES International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Audio in London, Fusion AI enables companies to securely deploy AI-powered tools and models to off-premises systems—whether at the edge, in distributed production environments, or integrated into media plugins—without exposing the underlying algorithms or data.
AI models have become instrumental in modern media workflows: from real-time audio restoration and stem separation, to automated color grading and deep-learning-based asset tagging. Yet once these models are deployed to customer-controlled systems, they become vulnerable to inspection, replication, and theft. Fusion AI solves this by providing on-device, runtime protection for AI model data and logic.
“From automated dialogue replacement to generative content and smart editing, AI and large language models are transforming media workflows,” said Andrew Kirk, CEO of PACE Anti-Piracy. “But as more models are pushed to the edge—to plugins, render farms, and local processing nodes—they become highly exposed to reverse engineering. Fusion AI helps companies preserve their competitive edge by making AI IP secure, even in untrusted runtime environments.”
Fusion AI builds on PACE’s proven technologies—White-Box Works, Fusion, and iLok—to create a complete protection toolkit. This holistic approach secures AI models, algorithms, and IP across their lifecycle: at rest, in use, and in the market.
Secures Models and Keys with White-Box Encryption: Fusion AI encrypts model weights and protects decryption keys and logic using PACE White-Box Works, ensuring sensitive data is never exposed in memory or on disk.
Fuses Code and Runtime into a Secure Package: With PACE Fusion, model code, weights, and runtime are bound together into a single hardened binary that resists reverse engineering and lifting attacks.
Controls Usage and Monetization: Through PACE iLok Licensing, publishers can manage deployment, entitlement, and licensing to safeguard future revenue.
Every year, intellectual property theft drains more than $600 billion* from the U.S. economy alone. In an era where AI models are the product, Fusion AI protects against the growing risk of model theft and reverse engineering in media and entertainment.

Use Cases in Focus:
• Audio plugin developers using ML for stem separation, audio enhancement, or mastering tools
• Broadcast solution providers deploying on-prem AI for real-time content tagging and asset classification
• Post-production teams relying on proprietary AI pipelines for VFX, restoration, or localization
• OEMs building intelligent media hardware that must resist model theft in the field
With over four decades of experience protecting digital assets, PACE Anti-Piracy continues to set the standard for software security. Fusion AI extends this legacy into the AI era, giving developers and media companies the confidence to innovate without fear of losing their intellectual property.
Fusion AI will be demonstrated at:
• AES International Conference on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning for Audio in London – September 2025
• IBC 2025 in Amsterdam – Future Tech Hall 14.B56, September 2025
Availability
Fusion AI is available for evaluation now. Full commercial availability is planned for Q4 2025, with licensing and integration details to be released at IBC.

Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski sparked dating rumors with a recent outing in Manhattan’s West Village. The pair was papped together on Friday, dining at the Waverly Inn, where they tucked into a booth and talked over drinks. A recent report covered the details of their outing, leaving the internet speculating about their relationship status.
Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski spotted chatting over drinks in NYC bar
According to TMZ’s exclusive report, Austin Butler and Emily Ratajkowski have fueled dating rumors by dining together. Sources revealed to the tabloid that Butler ordered an old-fashioned while Rajatkowski chose a martini. Neither ate during the night, but stayed put for almost two hours. Moreover, an insider claimed that Ratajkowski leaned in toward Butler several times, while he casually wrapped his arm around her shoulders at one point.
A tipster described to Deuxmoi that the pair was “very giggly and cute” during the outing. Their playful interaction was more than enough to add to the rumors that they may be more than just friends. Besides, this was not their first outing. Butler and Ratajkowski hung out together at the afterparty for the premiere of “Caught Stealing,” the former’s latest movie. A photo from the celebratory evening showed the two standing close and chatting.
Both Butler and Ratajkowski have well-documented dating histories. Butler was reportedly in a long-term relationship with model Kaia Gerber, whom he split with earlier this year. Meanwhile, Ratajkowski ended her marriage to Sebastian Bear-McClard in 2022 and has since been linked to a few names, including Pete Davidson and Shaboozey. Additionally, Austin Butler’s friendship with his “Caught Stealing” co-star, Zoe Kravitz, was also a subject of chatter. However, sources squashed any romantic connection between them.
Neither Austin Butler nor Emily Ratajkowski has commented on their dating rumors or their recent Manhattan outing. But considering their photos, it’s no surprise people are speculating on their relationship status.

Club: Tottenham Debut: 15 August 1992 Premier League appearances: 20 Goals: 3
Former winger Turner became the Premier League’s youngest goalscorer at 17 years and 166 days – striking a late winner for Tottenham against Everton on 5 September 1992, less than a month into the new competition’s first season. His record stood for nearly five years before being broken by Michael Owen at Liverpool.
Having been given his debut in 1992 – when Terry Venables, Doug Livermore and Ray Clemence were in charge of the team – Turner fell out of favour under Ossie Ardiles before a serious ankle injury sent him on a nomadic career with numerous loan spells in the Football League.
“Everytime someone young scores a goal, people mention it to me,” Turner, who is now head of development at Hednesford Town, tells BBC Sport. “It is quite nice to reminisce and to know exactly how people in this scenario are feeling.
“When I saw Rio Ngumoha score, his story reminded me of my own. He played well in pre-season and took his chance and I was similar, then being given an opportunity in the first team. He came off the bench and scored in the last minute like me.
“Young players need to be good enough and these guys are special talents. In my season at Spurs when I played, I was managed very well. I was told when I was going to be involved, my parents were kept updated and there was a plan.
“The evening before I made my debut, Mr Venables rang my dad and said make sure I don’t go out and go to sleep early because I was going to play on Saturday. He was a fantastic man and when I had problems he would invite me to his office and make me a cup of tea.
“We lost 6-2 at Liverpool towards the end of that season but I wasn’t involved in the game and he took me to the centre circle and said: ‘It’s good here, isn’t it?’ He told me to see him on Monday for a new long-term contract. By that morning, he was sacked.”
A Redditor was left agitated after a man, who used the word “dude” himself, lectured him about his “informal” replies during a WhatsApp chat. Netizens quickly took note of his double standards and highlighted that WhatsApp is not a formal platform.
Here’s what happened:
According to the viral post, a man randomly contacted the Redditor on LinkedIn about a job he didn’t apply for.
“After a short back-and-forth there, we moved to WhatsApp for convenience. We discussed the budget, the company, and all that. Then I shared my portfolio and resume (PDF),” the post, which was accompanied by a screenshot of the chat, read.

“…then out of nowhere, he decided to lecture me about how my replies should be more ‘formal’,” it added.
“Like, dude, I didn’t even apply for this job; you came to me. If “Okay, cool” is enough to turn you off, then honestly, I don’t care,” the Redditor said, highlighting the man’s “fragile ego”.
What did the screenshot show?
In the screenshot, the man, likely a recruiter, was thrown off by the Redditor’s “okay, cool” response.

“Usually the reply should be ok thanks,” the man said, adding that if the Redditor is trying to look for a job, “it’s better to be formal”. However, the man, who used ‘dude’ to address the Redditor, added that he was talking generally and not about his company.
“People will judge you more on your communication than skills. It’s just an advice,” the person said.

Here’s how netizens reacted:
Social media users were irked by the message exchange and said, “WhatsApp is not a place for formal communications.”
“Addressing someone as ‘dude’ is very formal, eh? What a clown,” a user quipped. Another added, “double standards”.
“The only mistake I see here is you reacting to that gyaan. I’ve responded to HR manager that has atleast 20 years of XP with ‘aha! Sounds cool’ & she didn’t give me a dumb response like this. Pretty sure this dude gets offended if someone doesn’t address him as sir & uses name,” said a user.

A netizen said, “WhatsApp is usually not a place for formal communications.”
“If you are chatting on WhatsApp, it ain’t a formal conversation,” added another.
“Most people in corporate India cannot string a grammatically proper sentence together,” a user highlighted.
“That thumbs up must’ve hurt his ego so hard. Good going!” a user quipped.
However, a few users saw reason, and said, “He was trying to be a brother to him, it’s understandable.. if he scolded him formally then the candidate would generate hate for him.”
“He called him ‘dude’ to let him know ‘this behaviour is ok with me, but it has a high possibility to land u in trouble with other people, like the ones who care about such things.. it seems like a good interaction,” the user added.
