Unbabel has launched Widn.AI, an AI-powered translation service that CEO Vasco Pedro claims could eliminate the need for human translators within three years. The service utilizes the company's proprietary large language model, Tower, to translate in 32 languages, marking a shift from their previous hybrid model that combined AI with human editors. While acknowledging a potential decrease in revenue per translated word, Pedro believes the overall volume of translated content will drive growth, as Unbabel seeks to raise $20 million to $50 million in funding for further development.
Sustainable investment in Switzerland is experiencing a decline, with more capital flowing into traditional funds than green ones for the first time in years. Despite attracting CHF550 billion since 2018, the inflow of sustainable investments fell last year, influenced by the war in Ukraine and a growing skepticism towards ESG issues. Experts suggest this stagnation follows years of rapid growth, as the increasing variety of sustainable products complicates investor choices.
Switzerland and the EU remain at an impasse over cohesion payments, with further negotiations needed on immigration and electricity.

The US Treasury has sanctioned two Swiss lawyers for allegedly helping Russian clients evade sanctions by creating companies and trusts.
