AI 正在重塑医生就诊——但并非你所想的方式
(SeaPRwire) - 人工智能医疗交易正在蓬勃发展。 Rock Health 的研究详细指出，2025年数字健康初创公司融资142亿美元，比2024年增长35%，其中人工智能公司获得了54%的资金，平均交易规模比非人工智能同行高出约19%。投资者纷纷涌入环境记录员、代理分诊工具和“医生副驾驶”平台——包括 Abridge（一个由人工智能驱动的临床记录员），该公司在2025年的两轮超大规模融资中筹集了约5.5亿美元。 但 Zocdoc 首席执行官 Oliver Kharraz 正在花时间思考一个不那么光鲜的问题：当患者带着人工智能答案出现在诊室时，到底会发生什么？ Zocdoc——由 Francisco Partners、Atomico、Baillie Gifford、DST Global 和 Goldman Sachs 支持——在2015年由 Baillie Gifford 和 Atomico 领投的一轮1.3亿美元融资后，估值约为18亿美元，使其成为当时纽约估值最高的私营科技公司之一。2021年，Zocdoc 在疫情前收入同比增长超过35%后，从 Francisco Partners 获得了1.5亿美元的增长融资。 Zocdoc 现在将自己定位为“医疗保健访问基础设施”，称每月有数百万患者使用其市场寻找网络内医生。 该公司对1,186名美国成年人和1,000名医疗服务提供者的最新调查，重点关注人工智能与患者护理之间的互动。Zocdoc 发现，26%的患者已经向人工智能询问过健康相关问题，85%的医疗服务提供者表示他们正在看到更多受人工智能影响的患者。然而，超过五分之一的患者承认他们向医生隐瞒了自己使用人工智能的情况——通常是出于害怕被评判。77%的医疗服务提供者表示他们对患者使用人工智能持积极态度，60%的人宁愿患者使用人工智能而不是 Google。 这种脱节正在制造摩擦。Kharraz 告诉，患者“锚定”于人工智能生成的答案，但却不承认，这迫使医生在“与一个无名的伙伴进行影子搏击”，因为他们要解开“可能不适用于患者具体情况”的建议。Zocdoc 的数据支持了他的说法：83%的医疗服务提供者表示他们必须纠正人工智能信息。最重要的发现是：没有人真正想要一个机器人医生。70%的患者表示他们宁愿从医生那里获得医疗指导，而不是人工智能，65%的人宁愿向医生提出医疗问题。但人工智能正在填补一个非常真实的就医鸿沟——65%的患者表示他们咨询人工智能是因为这比看医生更容易，而美国目前看初级保健医生的平均等待时间已超过31天。 患者和医疗服务提供者都对人工智能的工作职责达成了更窄的共识。他们的首要用例是相同的：为医生准备更好的问题。Kharraz 给患者的建议是：不要向人工智能寻求诊断。 “你不可能将人工智能的使用保密。对于像我们这样的组织来说，有趣的挑战是帮助调解患者与医生之间的关系，”Kharraz 说。 明天见， Lily Mae LazarusX: @LilyMaeLazarus电子邮件: lily.lazarus@.com在此提交交易以获取 Term Sheet 时事通讯。 Joey Abrams 策划了今天时事通讯的交易部分。在此订阅。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。

专家警告：朝鲜武器正在助长伊朗针对美国和以色列的战事
(SeaPRwire) - 据一位世界领先的伊朗-朝鲜战略联盟专家称，伊斯兰共和国伊朗庞大的导弹系统是美国指定的恐怖主义国家赞助者——共产主义朝鲜政权的产物，该政权与伊朗紧密合作。“发射到迭戈加西亚的导弹是‘芦洞’导弹。伊朗人从朝鲜购买了19枚，并于2005年交付。他们自2005年以来就拥有这种能力——这并非什么‘秘密武器’，”布鲁斯·贝希托尔（Bruce Bechtol）告诉 Digital。他与安东尼·塞尔索（Anthony Celso）合著了开创性著作《流氓盟友：伊朗与朝鲜的战略伙伴关系》。Digital 上周报道称，伊朗通过向迭戈加西亚（距离伊朗约2500英里）发射两枚中程弹道导弹，显著升级了其对美国的战争努力。贝希托尔说：“随着与美国和以色列的战争演变，伊朗最主要的威胁是弹道导弹，这些导弹不仅发射到美国设施和以色列城市，还发射到邻近的伊斯兰国家。因此，考虑这种能力以及伊朗是从哪里获得的至关重要。”他说：“伊朗发射到关键美国设施和邻近阿拉伯国家的短程弹道导弹包括一个关键系统——‘QIAM’。‘QIAM’是在朝鲜的协助下开发和改进的……朝鲜向伊朗扩散了大量我们现在在战争中看到的武器。”根据美国国务院的说法，美国和以色列联合对伊朗政权（被认为是世界上最严重的恐怖主义国家赞助者）的战争已进入第五周。贝希托尔是德克萨斯州安吉洛州立大学安全研究系政治学教授。他指出，根据 Wisconsin Project 的数据，朝鲜在伊朗法尔斯省的埃玛姆沙赫尔（Emamshahr）建造了一个大型导弹试验场，并在南呼罗珊省的塔巴斯（Tabas）建造了一个跟踪设施。他说，朝鲜向伊朗提供了“用于攻击距离伊朗更远目标”的关键技术。“朝鲜在20世纪90年代末向伊朗扩散了约150套‘芦洞’系统。伊朗人显然对朝鲜提供的导弹非常满意，并遵循早期‘飞毛腿C’工厂的先例，与平壤签订合同在伊朗建造‘芦洞’设施。”贝希托尔继续说道：“伊朗人将这种‘新’导弹命名为‘Shahab-3’。‘Shahab-3’几乎是‘芦洞’的精确复制品。一旦‘Shahab-3’投入运行，朝鲜人就与伊朗人一起改进了它的射程和杀伤力。”他说：“在朝鲜人的协助下，伊朗人随后能够（在‘芦洞’设施）生产‘Emad’和‘Ghadr’。‘Emad’的射程为1750公里（约1087英里），‘Ghadr’的射程为1950公里（约1212英里）。在冲突的初级阶段，伊朗人利用这两个系统不仅瞄准以色列，还瞄准了他们的阿拉伯邻国（包括这些国家内的美国基地）。”贝希托尔说，朝鲜人帮助伊朗开发了重达一吨半到两吨的弹头，用于强大的‘Khorramshahr-4’。他说：“还有一种能够击中以色列的系统，其杀伤力比迄今为止描述的任何系统都更大。这种系统被称为‘Khorramshahr’，而该系统的第四个版本，恰当地命名为‘Khorramshahr-4’，已被证明能够携带伊朗导弹库存中任何其他弹头都无法比拟的更大弹头，并配备了似乎是集束弹药。”他描述了这种战略伙伴关系，指出：“朝鲜是卖家，伊朗是买家。朝鲜向伊朗扩散武器系统、技术、零部件、技术人员、工程师和专家以及军事能力（例如建造地下设施）。伊朗用现金和石油支付朝鲜。就这么简单。”贝希托尔说，唯一阻止这种情况发生的方法就是对朝鲜实施制裁。“所需的制裁已经存在。但是美国和我们的主要盟友需要强力执行它们。我们需要追查银行、空壳公司和网络实体，以挤压资金并遏制或摧毁供应链。”他说：“需要更加重视并采取更多行动，利用‘扩散安全倡议’——这是防止朝鲜武器流入流氓国家和恐怖组织的一个未被充分利用的方面。如果你切断了供应链，你就切断了扩散。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
Virgin Bet Expands Internationally with South Africa Launch
(AsiaGameHub) - Virgin Bet has debuted in South Africa, representing its initial foray beyond the UK market as part of its global growth strategy. Since arriving in 2019, the LiveScore Group subsidiary has become a prominent name within the UK's wagering sector. The expansion into South Africa is a calculated decision, targeting a region characterized by high sports interest and a rising appetite for licensed betting options. This development follows the group's established footprint in Africa, where LiveScore Bet already operates in Nigeria. The African continent is increasingly becoming a focal point for the international gaming industry. Virgin Bet has placed a strong emphasis on player safety for its South African debut. The virginbet.co.za site features various responsible gambling tools, including deposit caps, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion options, along with strict age verification. To facilitate its entry, the company has put together a local management team to drive long-term success, including the naming of Gail Odgers as Head of Marketing. “Debuting in South Africa marks a significant milestone for our team,” stated Odgers. “At Virgin Bet, our philosophy of ‘A Good Bet’ involves providing top-tier experiences for our users while prioritizing our obligations to players and the wider community. “Sport is deeply ingrained in South African culture. Whether it is rugby, cricket, or football, it is a constant topic of discussion. That level of enthusiasm makes this a very appealing market for us. “Our objective is to improve that fan experience in a safe manner, providing great moments and rewards while maintaining high standards for responsible play from the start. We are dedicated to establishing trust and introducing Virgin Bet as a brand South Africans can rely on.” Will Virgin Bet leverage sponsorships once more? The operator intends to provide a variety of sports markets and promotional offers, alongside perks connected to the broader Virgin brand network. The company has heavily utilized marketing since its UK inception, securing major deals such as its partnership with TNT Sports for **UEFA Europa League** and **UEFA Conference League** broadcasts, as well as sponsoring several high-profile horse racing events across the UK and Ireland. The South African launch comes at a time of regulatory shifts. Data from the National Gambling Board of South Africa indicates that 66% of adults now participate in online gambling, a significant increase from 30% in 2017. Consequently, the government has suggested increasing the national tax on online gambling earnings to 20%. While the region offers significant potential, new operators may find themselves navigating a landscape of increasing legislative oversight. This article is provided by a third-party.

信用卡年费正飙升至800美元以上。为什么人们仍在支付这些费用——即便福利越来越难获得
(SeaPRwire) - 今年三月，Robinhood推出了其Platinum信用卡，其权益包括丰厚的旅行奖励、每年250美元的DoorDash积分以及免费的Amazon One Medical会员资格。这张年费高达695美元的新卡名称既是一种致敬，也是一种炫耀：它呼应了American Express闻名的卡品牌，不过Robinhood指出，其版本是唯一"镀有99.9%纯铂金"的。 这款产品是快速扩张的高端信用卡领域的最新炫目选择，这些信用卡的品牌定位不是简单的支付工具，而是一种生活方式。在这个世界里，"会员"可以享受音乐会和高档健身房会员资格的 access，并有机会从Lululemon和Apple等零售商那里获取大量免费赠品。 对于自律性强的人来说，高年费信用卡物有所值，这得益于权益加上消费奖励的组合，这些奖励可以兑换各种旅行服务。更妙的是，所有这些都免税，这得益于一项法律上的特殊规定，将信用卡赠品视为"兑换"而非收入。 但并非所有人都感到满意。近几个月来，考虑到不断上升的信用卡债务和日益增长的商户手续费，美国国会和白宫重新推动通过《信用卡竞争法案》（CCCA），这可能会使发卡机构更难提供所有这些权益。这给积分猎手们带来了一个问题：奖励的狂热时代是否即将结束？ Jamie Dimon的赌注得到了回报 "我希望那是4亿美元的损失，"JPMorgan Chase首席执行官Jamie Dimon在2017年曾有名言。他当时是在回应投资者对银行因其Chase Sapphire Reserve卡的大额开户奖金而产生的2亿美元收益冲减的抱怨。Dimon的评论反映了一个赌注，即这张新的高端信用卡随着时间的推移将成为巨大的赚钱工具。 这一算计被证明是正确的：如今该卡极其受欢迎，并帮助该银行吸引了一代高端客户使用其其他服务。事实上，这正是银行发行这些生活方式卡的主要理由之一。然而，与此同时，JPMorgan已将其年费从450美元逐步提高到795美元，同时降低了某些奖励积分的兑换价值。而American Express则将其旗舰产品Platinum卡的年费提高到了895美元。诸如此类的变化让一些消费者开始质疑，获取"战利品"的潜力是否值得付出如此高昂的前期成本。 TD Securities的董事总经理Moshe Orenbuch表示，JPMorgan Chase和其他银行会辩称，信用卡提供的优惠比以往任何时候都更加慷慨——只是分配方式不同。许多顶级信用卡除了提供消费奖励外，现在还提供额度——通常每月5到20美元——用于Lyft、DoorDash和Disney+等服务，这些额度累积起来每年可达数千美元的价值。 "他们正试图创建一个生态系统，"KBW的信用卡行业专家Sanjay Sakhrani指出。"最终他们希望这不仅仅是拥有一张卡，而是拥有一种体验。" 而对于发卡机构商户合作伙伴网络中的一些成员来说，与信用卡发行商的合作意味着大笔收入。Orenbuch指出，仅Delta Air Lines近年来就因向奖励客户提供机上座位而从Amex获得了高达100亿美元的收入。 23.66%旅行奖励信用卡的平均年利率，2026年3月16日 6.17亿2024年美国信用卡账户数量（最新可用数据）资料来源：Lendingtree, Wallethub Chase和Amex的高端卡业务如此火爆，以至于新的挑战者正纷纷涌入这一领域。除了Robinhood的Platinum卡，还有Citi年费695美元的Strata Elite卡，该卡去年推出时因申请流程出错导致银行冻结了数千个账户而蒙上阴影——但尽管如此，它已被证明很受欢迎。 然而，使用量的激增也伴随着成长的烦恼——最明显的是在机场贵宾厅。在Amex的Centurion Lounge和Chase的Sapphire Lounge等场所，持卡人可以享受豪华座椅、厨师制作的小食和免费的霞多丽葡萄酒。但随着这些卡越来越受欢迎，商务旅行者们越来越多地遇到拥挤的人群、长队和等待时间。 丰厚奖励的弊端 高端卡的光鲜品牌也可能导致一些消费者因累积高息信用卡债务而犯下愚蠢的错误。Sakhrani指出，一些高端卡客户很快发现自己背负着月余额，利率超过20%——这笔债务可能迅速使他们获得的任何奖励价值相形见绌。 "消费者信贷并不直观。许多在其他方面很聪明的人可能会高估自己管理信用卡的能力，"曾是一名注册会计师并著有个人理财书籍的Beverly Harzog说，她曾撰文讲述自己背负卡债的经历。她指出，虽然有些人会孜孜不倦地积累某张卡的全部奖励价值，但许多人会得出一个非常合理的结论，即他们无法承担相关成本的风险。在这些情况下，她建议人们选择一张略低端的高端卡，比如Capital One Venture Rewards卡，它仍然可以提供有价值的权益，但年费更接近100美元。与此同时，节俭的人可能更喜欢无年费的返现卡，如Citi Double Cash卡或Apple Card。 与此同时，商户们对高端卡的一个特点感到沮丧：与普通卡相比，它们迫使企业支付更高的刷卡手续费。得到许多此类企业支持的CCCA将降低这些交易的成本。特朗普总统今年早些时候表达了对该法案的支持，呼吁结束"失控的刷卡费欺诈"，并对月利率设定了10%的临时上限。 分析师表示，如果这些提案中的任何一项得以通过，银行将被迫大幅缩减奖励，并将其"生活方式"产品变回平淡无奇的信贷工具。不过就目前而言，这似乎不太可能。强大的银行游说团体拥有越来越多的盟友——包括航空公司和酒店连锁集团——他们很可能会推动维持现状。好时光应该会继续，让自律的消费者在可预见的未来继续用免费物品来充实自己的收入。 本文发表于2026年4月/5月号，标题为"信用卡奖励比以往任何时候都更加丰厚——但你需要更努力才能兑现"。本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
MOL and Hitachi Launch Initiative to Convert Used Ships into Floating Data Centers
TOKYO, Mar 30, 2026 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd. (MOL; President & CEO: Takeshi Hashimoto; Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo), Hitachi, Ltd. (Hitachi; President & CEO: Toshiaki Tokunaga; Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), and Hitachi Systems, Ltd. (Hitachi Systems; President & CEO : Takehiko Watanabe; Head Office: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo) today announced the signing of a Memorandum Of Understanding (MOU) for the development, operation, and commercialization of a “Floating Data Center (FDC) converted from a second-hand vessel.” (**) Based on this MOU, the companies will conduct demand verification, review basic specifications and operational procedures, and carry out feasibility studies for commercialization of an FDC, with a view to commencing operations in 2027 or later. The project will focus primarily on Japan, where the Hitachi Group already has operational experience in land-based data centers, as well as Malaysia and the United States, where there are proven track records in providing services related to land-based data centers.CG rendering of an FDC converted from a used shipIn recent years, demand for data centers has continued to grow alongside the rapid proliferation of generative AI, creating a need for diverse range of data center solutions that take into account factors such as location, the availability of water resources for power generation and cooling, surrounding infrastructure, and disaster risks.Leveraging their respective experience, insights, and expertise, the three companies will assess the feasibility of commercializing FDC converted from a used vessel—a solution that eliminates the need to secure large tracts of land, enables short construction periods and mobility, and reduces environmental impact and costs through the reuse of existing hulls.Roles of Each Company- Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Ltd.Building on its expertise in studying and evaluating maritime operations—including vessel conversion plans, coordination with port authorities, and mooring and maintenance—MOL will be responsible for planning and promoting vessel conversions; leading discussions with port authorities and other stakeholders; defining maritime operational requirements such as mooring and maintenance; and examining financing structures.- Hitachi, Ltd./Hitachi Systems, Ltd.:Led by the Strategic SIB Business Unit, which drives new growth opportunities, Hitachi and Hitachi Systems will leverage their experience in owning and operating land-based data centers in Japan, installing containerized data centers, and providing land-based data center services in Malaysia and the United States. They will be responsible for technical studies on data center design, installation, and operation; defining IT infrastructure requirements such as networking and security; utilizing local expertise; and collaborating on customer requirement clarification and customer acquisition.Furthermore, by combining advanced AI with deep domain knowledge, the Hitachi Group is providing “HMAX by Hitachi” (HMAX), a suite of next-generation solutions designed to address the most complex challenges facing in social infrastructure. Hitachi will aim to expand HMAX to further advance and streamline data center operations in the future.(**)[Advantages of FDCs Compared to Land-based Data Centers]- No need to secure large tracts of land or incur land acquisition costsSecuring large plots of land for data centers in the suburbs of major cities is becoming increasingly difficult. In some cities, infrastructure concerns—such as electricity, cooling water, environmental regulations, and resident consent—has not kept pace, leading to proposals to halt the construction of new data centers. FDCs, which utilize ports and rivers, offer a new solution that can be deployed even in such challenging areas.- Shorter construction periodsRenovation work for FDCs takes approximately one year, potentially shortening the development period by up to three years compared with conventional land-based data center development.- Introduction of water-cooling systems utilizing seawater and river waterData centers consume large amounts of electricity and generate significant heat, requiring robust cooling systems. As conventional air-cooling systems cannot adequately cool high-performance AI servers, the market is shifting toward water-cooled systems. However, because water-cooling requires large volumes of water, some regions in the United States have experienced conflicts with residents concerned about potential shortages of potable water. As floating structures, FDCs can efficiently utilize seawater or river water for cooling, reducing both the power consumption required for server cooling and overall operational costs.- RelocatableBecause FDCs are floating structures, they are easy to move in response to shifts in demand.[Benefits of Converting Existing Ships into FDCs]- Reduced environmental impact arising from the extraction and processing of raw materials through the reuse of existing ship hulls- Reduced initial investmentIn addition to lowering construction costs, the use of existing onboard systems—such as air-conditioning, water intake, and power generation—is expected to reduce initial investment requirements.- Extensive space availabilityFor example, a car carrier with a floor area of approximately 54,000 m² would rival one of Japan’s largest onshore data centers in terms of total floor area.Trademark NoticeAll trademarks and product names are the property of their respective owners.About Mitsui O.S.K.

Italy Sets April 10 for Finalizing Retail Gambling Reform Decree
(AsiaGameHub) - Italy’s Council of Ministers is expected to release the finalized legislative decree concerning the restructuring of land-based gambling by the beginning of April. The Council currently projects the full decree to be published on April 10, marking the commencement of the second phase of the Meloni government's comprehensive reform. The final approvals for the decree are presently undergoing review by the Unified Conference (UC), which represents Italy’s 20 autonomous regions and 110 municipalities. This initiative, initially launched in 2023, began with the overhaul of Italy's online gambling framework and the introduction of a new licensing system, which was implemented in November 2025. The decree's final amendments will concentrate on regulations regarding operating hours and the minimum distance between gambling establishments and 'sensitive locations,' such as schools, hospitals, and other public facilities. New concession structure detailed The decree will introduce a new framework for retail betting operations across key sectors: Gaming machines: A starting bid of €25 million is set for packages containing 4,000 Amusement with Prizes (AWPs) and 900 Video Lottery Terminals (VLTs). Retail betting licences: Batches of 25 licences will be available for €60,000 each, with a base bid of €1.5 million. Bingo halls: The starting bid is €350,000 per venue, covering 210 locations. There is growing pressure in Italy to enact these reforms, particularly within the gaming machine sector, which experienced a €250 million decrease in tax revenue in 2025. Lawmakers have cautioned that delays in implementing the new decree are contributing to the expansion of the unlicensed market, which is estimated to be valued between €30 billion and €35 billion across both retail and online channels. Increased share for provinces The reorganization will also implement a revenue-sharing mechanism to benefit regional authorities, as stipulated by the 2026 Budget Law. Following negotiations, the UC has proposed an initial allocation of €80 million to be distributed among various localities, indicating a greater involvement of local entities in gambling revenue. A certification system for licensed operators will also be established, enabling approved businesses to open venues at a minimum distance of 100 meters from sensitive sites. Authorities will also form a permanent committee to monitor problem gambling rates and enhance anti-money laundering controls, overseen by ADM – Italy’s Customs and Monopolies Agency. These measures are designed to reduce the overall availability of gambling, combat illegal market activities, decrease tax evasion, and mitigate the risks of criminal infiltration. Meloni's commitment The government remains committed to its promise of a complete overhaul of both retail and online gambling in Italy, with an initial target date of 2026, aiming to usher in new standards for governance and licensing. Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni has upheld this commitment despite a period of political uncertainty. She recently faced a significant setback with the rejection of the Nordio Referendum on March 22, which aimed to reform Italy's judicial system. During the referendum, 52% of voters opposed the government's proposals for a new 15-member Disciplinary Court and a revised appointment system for Italian judges. This outcome marked Meloni's first major defeat since assuming office in 2022. However, despite this recent loss, gambling reform appears to remain a high priority. The reform of current gambling regulations seeks to improve public health protections, support licensed operators, and stabilize tax revenues throughout Italy. Crucially, finalizing the decree before the expiration of the fiscal delegation law on August 29 would enable Italy to avoid further extensions of concessions for gaming machines, betting, and bingo, which are currently set to expire on December 31. Italy's long-awaited retail reform is nearing completion, but its success will depend on the alignment of Rome and the regional authorities on the final terms. The final approval of the decree represents a significant test of the government's capacity to reshape the market. Article provided by…. This article is provided by a third-party.

Over 40% of Altcoins Trading Near Record Lows
(AsiaGameHub) - Over 40% of altcoins are currently trading close to all-time lows, a clear indicator of how harsh conditions have become across the entire crypto market. Downward pressure has been building for months, and smaller coins are bearing the worst of the impact. Key Good to Know Over 40% of altcoins have reached, or are very close to, all-time lows. This share is even worse than the previous bear market peak, which hit roughly 38%. A surge of new tokens is stretching market liquidity extremely thin across the sector. Altcoins Continue to Take the Brunt of Losses Geopolitical tensions have added extra volatility across all financial markets, and crypto has not escaped this turmoil. Yet the pain is not spread evenly. Altcoins are absorbing far more damage than Bitcoin and other larger, established crypto assets. During past market downturns, smaller tokens already suffered heavy losses. Even so, current market conditions are more severe. More than 40% of altcoins have either fallen to their all-time low or are hovering just above that level. This figure is higher than the prior bear market peak, which came in at roughly 38%. Broad macroeconomic pressure is part of the issue. Risk assets typically struggle when investors grow cautious, and altcoins fall on the riskiest end of this spectrum. Still, wider economic trends are not the only reason altcoin performance has been so weak.A second core problem is simply excess supply. The crypto market now counts more than 47 million total cryptocurrencies. Around 22 million were created on Solana alone, while Base hosts more than 18 million and BNB Smart Chain has roughly 4 million. This massive expansion splits available investment across far too many assets. Put simply, liquidity dilution means less trading capital is available for each individual token. As a result, many altcoins grow more fragile and struggle more to hold their value over time. Record Weakness Can Also Create Opportunities Extreme underperformance often looks grim on the surface, but it can also open up new openings. When a large portion of the market gets beaten down, stronger projects often start to stand out much more clearly. That does not mean every low-priced altcoin is a good deal — far from it. Careful selection matters even more when liquidity is thin and competition between tokens is fierce. Projects with long-term staying power, active development, real-world usage, and resilient communities are far more likely to separate themselves from unviable projects. FAQ What is causing so much downward pressure on altcoins? Altcoins are being impacted by market volatility tied to geopolitical tension, weak investor risk appetite, and a massive jump in the number of tokens all competing for limited liquidity. How severe is the current altcoin weakness? More than 40% of altcoins are at or near all-time lows, which is worse than the prior bear market peak of around 38%. What is liquidity dilution in crypto? Liquidity dilution occurs when too many tokens compete for the same fixed pool of investor money, making it harder for individual coins to maintain strong trading support. How many cryptocurrencies currently exist? There are more than 47 million total cryptocurrencies today, including around 22 million on Solana, over 18 million on Base, and roughly 4 million on BNB Smart Chain. Does weak altcoin performance create investment opportunities? It can, but only for investors who can identify stronger, more resilient projects instead of chasing every coin that has dropped sharply in price. This article is provided by a third-party.

Play Solana Activates PlayVERSE Gaming Hub on PSG1 Handheld
(AsiaGameHub) - Play Solana has officially debuted PlayVERSE, a dedicated gaming dApp store designed for the PSG1 handheld console. With the software now operational, the firm is transitioning its focus from hardware distribution to establishing a comprehensive Solana gaming ecosystem on the device itself. Good to Know PlayVERSE has launched on the PSG1 handheld device. The storefront offers a centralized hub for players to discover, install, launch, and manage Solana games. Play Solana positions this integrated system as a solution to the fragmentation currently seen in web3 gaming. Play Solana Transforms PSG1 Into a Centralized Solana Gaming Hub Instead of forcing users to navigate between various browser applications, external wallets, and third-party services, PlayVERSE consolidates the entire process into a single console interface. Players are able to browse titles, perform installations, start gaming sessions, and download updates without ever leaving the device's native environment. According to Play Solana, this launch represents a major software milestone for the PSG1, which first began shipping in October 2025. The company introduced the rollout with the slogan “Gaming Season starts NOW,” marking the beginning of a new phase of content delivery for the handheld. The company continues to highlight fragmentation as a primary industry hurdle. Web3 gaming has traditionally required users to jump between different blockchains, apps, and wallet prompts. Data from DappRadar in May 2025 showed that blockchain games reached 4.9 million daily active wallets—less than 0.6% of the 820 million active crypto wallets worldwide—citing poor onboarding and fragmented ecosystems as key reasons for the slow adoption.Behind the scenes, Play Gate functions as the publishing infrastructure for PlayVERSE. It logs submission receipts for game builds and assets directly on the Solana blockchain, including timestamps and submission hashes. Play Solana notes that this provides developers and players with a transparent, auditable trail of releases rather than relying solely on centralized server records. Integrated Hardware and Wallet Functionality The PSG1 is marketed as the first dedicated Solana-native handheld gaming device. While it features a retro Game Boy-inspired design, it runs on Android and features integrated blockchain capabilities. A built-in hardware wallet known as SvalGuard manages SOL, NFTs, and in-game rewards independently of external applications. The standard model was released at $329, while a limited Pudgy Penguins Edition was priced at $349. The special edition includes unique ecosystem benefits and triggers an automatic burn of $PENGU tokens with every unit sold. Regarding technical specs, the PSG1 is equipped with an RK3588S2 SoC, a 3.92-inch OLED screen, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage, featuring Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.4. The device operates on EchOS, an Android-based system specifically optimized for web3 gaming.Security remains a core focus, with a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor paired with SvalGuard for biometric logins and transaction authorization. Private keys and sensitive data are isolated from the Android OS via the CPU’s Trusted Execution Environment and an external, tamper-resistant Secure Element. Additionally, StrongBox provides hardware-backed security for all cryptographic tasks. The PLAY Token and Solana’s Gaming Roadmap PlayVERSE is also integrated into the wider Play Solana economy. The PLAY token serves as the primary utility token for marketplace transactions, staking rewards, and future airdrops for PSG1 owners. Rewards earned during gameplay are settled directly into the device's internal wallet, eliminating the need for third-party confirmations. The ecosystem is further supported by Play DEX, which manages leaderboards, quests, and staking, and Play ID, which serves as a universal identity layer. The flagship game, Play Solana: Origins, uses a narrative-driven approach to educate players on NFTs, swaps, and staking through active gameplay. The launch of PlayVERSE and the PSG1 aligns with Solana’s broader hardware initiatives. The Solana Saga debuted in 2022 as a blockchain-centric smartphone, later seeing massive secondary market demand following a BONK token airdrop. This was followed by the Seeker phone, which secured 150,000 pre-orders and generated approximately $67.5 million in revenue before its August 2025 release. The PSG1 applies this hardware-focused strategy to the dedicated gaming sector rather than the smartphone market. With PlayVERSE now live, Play Solana has provided developers with a native publishing route and players with a streamlined entry point into the Solana gaming landscape.

T-RIZE Structures Up to $500 Million Private Credit Digital Bond Programme on Canton Network
LONDON, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - T-RIZE Group (https://www.t-rize.io) today announced its role in structuring a private credit digital bond programme of up to $500 million for Horizon Group through Kairos Litigation Limited, a UK-based bankruptcy-remote special purpose vehicle established as the issuer for the programme. Horizon Group acts as programme manager. The programme will begin with an initial $50 million tranche launching shortly for eligible investors in the United States and Europe on the Canton Network, with capacity for additional tranches over time.The announcement highlights T-RIZE's institutional tokenization capability: structuring highly complex underlying exposures into institutionally governed, fixed-yield digital instruments built for professional markets.For the Kairos programme, T-RIZE has digitally structured a specialized private credit strategy into a market-ready issuance framework built on ring-fenced architecture, disciplined governance, permissioned investor access, and full lifecycle administration. Its role spans tokenization design, digital issuance architecture, governance and control logic, onchain instrument creation, lifecycle management, and reporting architecture required for institutional operation.The underlying exposure is a highly granular portfolio of UK litigation-finance receivables, a segment of private credit historically outside digital capital markets. T-RIZE has helped bring that exposure into a digital bond format designed for institutional use, combining fixed-yield economics, short-duration deployment, and a clearer structural framework for investor oversight.The credit architecture combines multiple protection layers. The issuer structure is bankruptcy-remote. Assets and related cash flows are ring-fenced. Risk is segmented through independent validation, and claim-level protection mechanisms. The capital-protection layer is supported by a performance-bond framework with reinsurance support from A-rated international reinsurers. Together, these features strengthen capital protection, improve cash-flow predictability, and support a stronger and transparent risk/reward profile than direct exposure to the underlying assets alone.T-RIZE is also providing the digital operating layer through which the tokens are minted, and administered on Canton Network. It supports onboarding, eligibility controls, credential management, transfer permissions, token lifecycle management, and governance execution. Critical actions are governed through a control framework incorporating multi-party computation and multi-signature approval logic, reinforcing institutional operating standards, and reducing single-point failure risk.The framework also includes collateral functionality scheduled for later activation, positioning the instrument over time for broader use across financing, treasury and liquidity workflows as institutional digital market infrastructure matures.For major financial institutions, the significance extends well beyond a single issuance. It demonstrates that T-RIZE can take complex private credit structures, architect them from the ground up, transform them into digitally native frameworks designed for institutional execution, governance, and scale."This programme reflects the level of structuring, control and technical integration required for institutional private credit to operate effectively in digital markets," said Madani Boukalba, Founder and CEO of T-RIZE Group. "T-RIZE helps institutions restructure highly complex, market-agnostic exposures into fixed-yield digital instruments with transparent structural protections and a clear onchain transparency layer across the life of the instrument. That opens access to structured opportunities that have traditionally remained difficult for institutions to reach in standardized form, while allowing them to benefit from attractive risk/reward dislocations with stronger governance, visibility and lifecycle control."T-RIZE also holds a strong position within Canton Network. It is a Premier Member of the Canton Foundation, an early validator and a builder of production-grade tokenization infrastructure on the network. Canton Network now functions as institutional market infrastructure, with live tokenization, active collateral and repo workflows, and growing participation from major regulated institutions. T-RIZE is engineering the Kairos programme inside that framework so it aligns not only with institutional issuance standards today, but with the next phase of market utility; interoperability, governed execution, and future collateral activation on Canton Network rails.Ann-Marie Bell, CEO of Kairos Litigation Limited, said: "T-RIZE helped us translate a complex private credit structure into a market-ready institutional digital issuance. Their contribution across structuring, governance design, control architecture, compliance logic, and technical implementation was instrumental in bringing the first tranche to market."More broadly, the transaction positions T-RIZE as a structuring partner for institutions seeking to bring complex opportunities into a governed digital issuance framework on Canton Network, with the standards of control, transparency, and execution required by professional markets.About T-RIZE GroupT-RIZE Group is a financial technology company building institutional-grade tokenization infrastructure for digital securities, structured products, and real-world assets. The company structures, tokenizes, issues and administers compliant digital instruments across asset classes including private credit, funds, securities, bonds, commodities, and real estate. T-RIZE Labs, the group's R&D division, advances next-generation tokenization systems, and digital market architecture. T-RIZE's technology stack is engineered to institutional and defense-grade security standards and deployed on Canton Network for interoperability, governed execution, and future collateral activation.About Kairos and Horizon GroupKairos Litigation Limited is a UK-based special purpose vehicle established to issue digital loan notes and support the structured financing of eligible underlying receivables within a ring-fenced institutional framework. Horizon Group acts as programme manager and brings more than five years of operating history and a zero-default track record across its lending portfolio, supporting origination, underwriting framework, servicing oversight, and portfolio administration in connection with the programme.Media ContactBrand: T-RIZE GroupContact: Media teamEmail: press@t-rize.ioWebsite: https://www.t-rize.io Copyright 2026 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Superbet Anticipates a Swift and Significant Influence on Greece’s Betting Sector
(AsiaGameHub) - Romanian multinational gaming company Super Technologies (Super) has rolled out its flagship Superbet sports betting platform in Greece. In a statement released this morning (30 March), the Bucharest-headquartered firm expressed confidence in the Greek market’s growth potential. Superbet will operate with a ‘sports-first’ approach, supported by a focus on local sports communities and active public engagement. Alongside its core sportsbook service, Superbet will offer an iGaming portfolio. The company has established a local team to lead its operations, tasked with ensuring its online products align with local market trends. Leading this team is John Kalamvokis, General Manager of Superbet Greece. Kalamvokis brings extensive experience in Greece’s betting and gaming sector, having spent over 10 years at Kaizen Gaming—operator of Betano and Stoiximan. “This marks a significant moment for Greece’s gaming landscape, as a major brand like Superbet enters the market,” said Kalamvokis. “In a short span, we’ve built a strong team of professionals committed to delivering the most exciting and immersive entertainment experience.” “We are confident that our innovative offerings, such as Supersocial—a groundbreaking and engaging social network—will create a game-changing moment for the industry. Today, we’re only writing the first chapter of a future success story that will unfold through impactful partnerships and community projects.” Superbet hails Greece’s ‘thriving market’ Superbet is entering a vibrant local market overseen by the Hellenic Gaming Commission (EEEP), which regulates retail and online sports betting, casinos, online poker, and lotteries under Law 4002/2011. Notable local players include OPAP—once state-owned and now merged with global gaming and lotteries giant Allwyn. Other key players are Novibet (which was nearly acquired by Allwyn before the deal was recently called off), Kaizen Gaming, and Swedish multinational Betsson, among others. “Greece is a mature and thriving market, so we’re proud to finally be here,” said Adam Lamentowicz, Chief Commercial Officer – CEE at Super. “This goes beyond a typical market entry; it’s a long-term commitment to build the country’s most engaging entertainment ecosystem and bring people closer through excitement and a shared passion for sporting competitions.” Adam Lamentowicz, Chief Commercial Officer – CEE at Super – Source: Super Superbet’s entry into Greece coincides with a government campaign against the illegal gambling sector, spearheaded by Kyriakos Pierrakakis, Minister of National Economy and Finance. The minister is leading a legislative push to overhaul Greece’s laws on black market betting. It also comes amid ongoing legislative and regulatory discussions in the firm’s home market of Romania, where the gambling age has been raised from 18 to 21 and local authorities granted more powers to close or restrict retail betting operations. In a recent interview with SBC News, Borut Petek, Chief Global Affairs Officer at Super Technologies, asserted that the firm’s ‘strategic rationale’ in Romania and the wider CEE region ‘remains unchanged’ despite regulatory shifts in its home market. The Greek launch continues a transformative period for Super, which rebranded last year after previously trading under the Superbet name. It also secured a €1.3bn (£1.1bn) refinancing agreement with alternative asset manager Blackstone in 2025, building on a 2019 strategic investment of €175m. Earlier this year, Super further strengthened its position in Romania via the acquisition of Maxbet Online—distinct from the Serbian betting multinational Maxbet. Greece now joins Brazil, Belgium, Poland, Romania, and Serbia as a core market for the group, while it maintains technology hubs in Spain, the Netherlands, Croatia, and its home nation. “We intend to be a leading voice in Greece for years to come and are confident our brand and product offering will have an immediate impact,” Lamentowicz concluded.

From Investment to Sales to Scenario Operations, Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) Robotics Commercialization Closed Loop Is Rapidly Taking Shape
HONG KONG, Mar 30, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Shoucheng Holdings (0697.HK) is accelerating the evolution of its robotics business from pure equity investment toward a deeper commercialization infrastructure stage. In the company’s newly released 2025 Chairman’s Statement, Chairman Zhao Tianyang made it clear that Shoucheng Holdings is leveraging its extensive offline asset management scale to build the “last mile” that brings the robotics industry from the laboratory to the market.According to the Chairman’s Statement, Taozhu New Manufacturing Hub, the robotics commercialization platform under Shoucheng Holdings, has already been successfully launched in top-tier commercial locations such as Beijing Shougang Park, Terminal 3 Parking Building of Beijing Capital Airport, and Beijing Wangfujing APM. Zhao Tianyang revealed in the statement that these stores have enjoyed strong foot traffic, and that their operating performance has far exceeded expectations.Building on its initial success, Shoucheng Holdings plans to further expand its store network to 20 locations within 2026, covering leading commercial districts in core cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, and Chengdu. This is not merely an expansion of retail outlets, but also the establishment of hubs for real-world robot demonstrations and user interaction.On the online front, the company has officially launched the “Barrier Breaker Program”, using social platforms such as Douyin and Xiaohongshu for livestream sales and in-depth product teardowns, transforming hard-tech products into consumer-grade or commercially applicable products that the public can readily understand and adopt. At present, Shoucheng Holdings has become an authorized distributor for nearly 100 robotics companies. To further lower procurement barriers for end users, Shoucheng has also partnered with “Beijing Robotics Financial Leasing Company” to provide integrated leasing services for research institutions, medical institutions, and large enterprises, using financial tools to accelerate robot adoption.In addition, Shoucheng Holdings is drawing on its deep expertise in infrastructure asset management to provide robots with natural testing grounds and operating venues. The Chairman’s Statement notes that the company jointly launched the country’s first “Auto-Charging Robot Pop-up Experience Station” at Chengdu ICD, demonstrating how robots can empower traditional commercial spaces.Chairman Zhao Tianyang also set out a clear development goal in the statement: going forward, Shoucheng Holdings will continue to advance its strategy of upgrading parking lots into robot operation bases, thereby forming a complete closed loop of “investing in robotics companies – empowering portfolio companies through offline sales – carrying out in-depth offline scenario operations.” Through the interlocking of investment, channels, and scenarios, Shoucheng Holdings is building a formidable competitive moat in the robotics sector.

Northern Ireland’s gambling support infrastructure under scrutiny
(AsiaGameHub) - There’s growing pressure on policymakers to re-evaluate Northern Ireland’s support system for problem gambling, especially as the rest of the UK undergoes a major overhaul of its own. At a recent roundtable held by the Assembly All Party Group on Reducing Harm Related to Gambling (APPG RHRG), Members of the Legislative Assembly (MLAs) met with healthcare specialists and Stormont representatives to review Northern Ireland’s strategy for tackling problem gambling. A key topic of conversation was the disparity in problem gambling support between Northern Ireland and other UK regions: England has 15 dedicated problem gambling support centers, while Wales is set to launch a specialized treatment service later this week. Scotland also lacks NHS clinics for this issue, but that may soon shift as Public Health Scotland and a large NHS organization are poised to receive millions in statutory levy funds. However, Northern Ireland hasn’t put any similar measures in place—there are no specialized centers offering multidisciplinary care for problem gambling anywhere in the region. Demands for an updated approach to gambling harm services are emerging as pressure builds to classify problem gambling in Northern Ireland as a national public health issue. The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency estimates that 3% of adults are at-risk gamblers, based on the PGSI score. A major point of emphasis was the absence of a unified support system to effectively assist those affected by gambling harm, as well as the sharp contrast with other UK areas that have specialized clinics staffed by qualified experts to care for patients. Calls for a refreshed strategy for gambling harm services are happening as there’s increasing pressure to designate gambling in Northern Ireland as a national public health priority. The Northern Ireland Statistics and Research Agency calculates that 3% of adults are at-risk gamblers, using the PGSI score. According to local publication Business First, Philip McGuigan MLA—Chair of the All Party Group on Reducing Harm Related to Gambling and Stormont’s Health Committee—commented: “The All Party Group has consistently called for gambling to be treated as a public health priority, with cross-party support reinforced by an Assembly motion passed in January 2025. “Central to these proposals is the introduction of an industry-funded levy on gambling operators. While legislation exists to introduce a levy on land-based operators here, implementation remains at an early stage and would not apply to online gambling companies due to outdated regulatory frameworks. “This contrasts with Britain, where a statutory levy introduced in April 2025 is expected to raise nearly £120m annually. Funds are allocated to research (20%), prevention (30%), and treatment (50%).” Will action match the statistics? In 2025, the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) released a research paper with recommendations for the government to implement—including a new gambling harm levy—which the Northern Ireland Department of Health also backed. But the general agreement was that fully adopting these recommendations would be costly and require a total overhaul of Northern Ireland’s gambling system, needing substantial government investment. England, Wales, and Scotland—Northern Ireland’s neighbors—introduced a statutory Research, Education, and Treatment (RET) levy last year, as required by the 2005 Gambling Act Review White Paper. This levy takes a portion of operators’ gross gambling yield (GGY) to fund treatment services. However, since Northern Ireland has its own gambling regulations, creating such a levy falls entirely under the purview of the Northern Ireland Executive. McGuigan concluded: “Online gambling companies do not pay a levy on bets taken in the North, despite these companies being able to advertise and operate in the region if licensed in Britain. As a result, they are effectively operating in an unregulated market locally without contributing to harm reduction services. “This is funding that could transform support for individuals and families affected by gambling harms. But there is currently no guarantee it will be allocated to the north.” Northern Irish policymakers may want to question whether a statutory levy, specifically one following the model adopted in other parts of the UK, is entirely appropriate.” The new model has received some criticism—such as from the Gambling Lived Experience Network—and the DCMS has provided a transition grant to help the voluntary sector adapt to the changes.

Dell的首席财务官正使用AI智能代理管理其财务团队，并助力AI业务从0美元增长至250亿美元
(SeaPRwire) - 就在几年前，Dell 似乎还是一个注定要载入商业史册的名字。其股价在2022年下跌了近三分之一，人们很难看到这家曾经的标志性个人电脑制造商在后个人电脑时代的位置。随后，一些非同寻常的事情发生了。在短短两年内，Dell 悄然从零开始建立了一个价值250亿美元的人工智能基础设施业务，公司总收入创下1135亿美元的纪录，并且目前正引导华尔街预期仅明年AI服务器销售额就将达到500亿美元。 最近，在纽约拜访了Dell 的首席财务官，以了解更多关于这家公司如何完成了一件几乎没有任何同等规模公司能够做到的事情：实时重塑自我。David Kennedy 是 Dell 的27年老将，在担任临时首席财务官后于2025年11月被正式任命为该职。在一间俯瞰着第34街喧嚣的会议室里，Kennedy 向我介绍了这家总部位于德克萨斯州圆石城的巨头（在《财富》500强中排名第44位）近期创纪录的表现。 “如果你看我们刚刚结束的12个月，我们在第四季度获得了340亿美元的AI优化服务器订单，这使得我们全年订单总额达到640亿美元，并且我们以430亿美元的积压订单结束了这一年，”Kennedy 说。仅第四季度AI服务器收入就激增342%，达到90亿美元。“超级令人兴奋的是，我们未来五个季度的机会管道从未如此之高。” 对于2027财年，Dell 已给出指引，预计AI优化服务器收入将达到500亿美元，同比增长103%。Kennedy 将需求归因于全球范围内对新云、主权AI部署以及 Dell 企业客户群的兴趣。“害怕落后的恐惧，”他说，“正变得越来越强烈。” Bank of America 的分析师最近上调了对 Dell AI服务器的预测，将本季度的预估上调至约150亿美元，并将全年预测上调至约600亿美元，理由是需求强于预期。Morningstar 也提高了其公允价值估计，指出持续的AI需求将是长期上涨的关键。 如果说在这片光明的展望上有一片乌云，那就是供应。Kennedy 直言不讳：生态系统中的组件根本不足以完全满足AI基础设施的需求。“我仍然希望有更多的供应，”他说。 但 Kennedy 认为，Dell 数十年的供应商关系使其在获取现有资源方面比竞争对手更具优势。与一些同行不同，Dell 提供了完整的2027财年指引——Kennedy 表示，这表明公司已获得供应承诺来支持这一目标。 关于AI服务器盈利能力的问题，这个让一些投资者感到紧张的话题，Kennedy 并未感到不安。Dell 的目标是其AI基础设施业务达到中个位数的营业利润率，这一数字它一直保持稳定。“500亿美元的中个位数利润率，”他说，“是很大一笔钱。” Dell 战略的核心是 Kennedy 所称的“AI工厂”，这是一个围绕数据构建的端到端基础设施堆栈。其中包括与 Nvidia 合作开发的GPU服务器、大规模存储业务以及网络系统。 “一切都关乎数据，”Kennedy 说。“你如何管理它、存储它、使用它、部署它？”他表示，Dell 能够以99.9%以上的正常运行时间构建、部署和服务系统，这有助于其实现差异化并加强客户关系。 该公司目前已有超过4000个企业AI工厂部署在客户处，仅第四季度就新增了超过750个。 财务职能内部：智能体AI Kennedy 表示，Dell 在过去两年中一直在现代化和标准化其系统，为更广泛地采用AI做准备。这一基础现在使公司能够在内部扩展智能体AI。 运营费用纪律伴随着员工人数的减少。根据其10-K文件，Dell 在2026财年的总员工人数减少了约10%，即约11,000名员工，这是连续第三年出现类似下降。公司在最近一个财年支付了5.69亿美元的遣散费。Dell 在其10-K文件中表示，2026财年的裁员源于员工重组、限制外部招聘以及其他与其业务现代化努力相关的成本调整措施。“尽管做出了这些艰难的决定，我们仍继续专注于努力赋能我们的员工，并吸引、发展和留住人才，”公司声明道。 关于智能体AI，Kennedy 重点关注财务职能。“我已经开始部署智能体来进行对账、制作会计日记账分录，”他说。“我们已经在供应链和服务组织中推出了数字孪生。我们拥有自己的内部销售聊天CRM模型，这每周为我们的销售团队节省了数小时。” Kennedy 个人走得更远——在他的财务职能内部孵化了一个数据科学家团队，并在 Dell 的内部治理框架下构建了专有智能体。他使用AI来优化日程安排、自动化电子邮件，并按国家和细分市场深入分析预测数据。 他对劳动力影响的看法是，AI将工作努力重新分配到了更高价值的工作上。“责任层级仍然存在，”他指着与审计师和监管机构的关系说。“他们所做的只是获得帮助，以便更快地做出决策。” 他还强调了数据质量和有效提示的重要性：“你的能力取决于你拥有的数据质量，所以你必须确保数据是干净的。然后尝试以正确的格式引导智能体——因为智能体希望7x24小时工作。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
认识这位28岁时带着七位数待遇离职的前Google首席营销官——他称自己晋升轻而易举，只因完全无视所有规则
(SeaPRwire) - Alon Chen于2006年23岁时加入Google，没有营销经验，在公司也没有人脉。到28岁时，他已成为首席营销官——负责以色列和希腊的市场营销，在30个市场建立了一条价值20亿美元的产品线，获得了高达六位数的薪水和七位数的股权激励方案。 在大多数人看来，他成功得异常早——而且他说到达这个位置也很“容易”。不是因为导师、办公室政治或任何正式的晋升渠道。在接受独家采访时，Chen表示他只是无视了所有给他的规则。 “向上爬升相当自然和容易，”他告诉，“仅仅是因为我无视了所有现状和规则，明白了什么是正确的事情，然后全力以赴去做。” Chen并非空谈：当总部的一个高级团队阻止他在全球推出Google Partners的计划时，Chen还是推出了——用外语，在外国市场，没有告诉北美的任何人。“一旦我们证明它取得了巨大成功，他们就来问我们，‘哦，你们能在北美也推出吗？’” 同样，获得晋升也只是提前要求的问题。 Google告诉他晋升需要2年——他不到1年就得到了 在Google，一般的经验法则是至少等待两年再申请升职——他说大多数员工都毫无异议地接受了这个时间表。Chen完全无视了它，在一年内找到他的经理，提出了一个无法拒绝的理由。 “我只是告诉我的经理，听着，我知道这是一年一次的事情。看看我取得了什么成就。这比任何人都多得多。我们现在就要为我申请晋升。”她照做了。 “我们有所有这些规则，所有这些基准，所有这些流程，”Chen说。“这就是你们大多数人会遇到的情况。” 但他补充说，对于高绩效者来说，这些几乎只是形式。尤其是当你像他一样，每天工作大约12小时，并且有成果来支持你提前晋升的要求时。“你会像我一样，得到更多晋升。” “企业美国可能会把你框在这些令人沮丧的框架里，”他补充道。但他说，最成功的人“实际上只是忽略这些，并说，‘我要做我自己的事，在内部承担风险。’” 最终，他字面意义上地采纳了自己的职业建议，选择成为自己的老板，做自己的事：尽管桌上摆着七位数的股权激励方案，以及大多数人会拼死守护的职业生涯，他还是递交了辞呈——并且离开时没有任何财务上的遗憾。 在加入Google之前，他15岁读高中时就在经营一家蓬勃发展的企业 Chen并非某天突然醒来就成了一个打破规则的Google高管。远在他获得C级头衔之前，他就已经被迫像创始人一样思考。他在“特拉维夫南部一个中下阶层的小镇”长大，父亲遭遇了一场摩托车事故，导致他们经济拮据。 “我12岁时就开始写代码，每年我都得换电脑……我写的软件因为需要更多内存而无法运行，”他回忆道。“但他负担不起。” 于是15岁时，他直接去找进口商谈判购买零件，以便自己升级电脑。 “这是我第一次创业冒险，”他补充道。“我在整个高中时期开始向成千上万不同的中小企业销售电脑……这变成了一门非常大的生意。” 他的下一个冒险则完全是另一种形式。Chen成为了一家LGBT权益倡导非营利组织的数字官，在当时建立了欧洲最具开创性的倡导网站之一。他说，正是那段经历——不是计算机科学学位，也不是企业实习——引起了Google的注意，让他在2006年获得了在那里的第一份工作。“那时候，那是非常创新的，”他补充道。 考虑到这样的背景，或许就不那么令人惊讶，Google这份金饭碗工作最终开始感觉像是一个“黄金牢笼”。 当他递交辞呈时，他的家人认为他“疯了”。他回忆说，他的伊拉克犹太裔母亲尤其感到震惊——讽刺的是，正是她启发了他下一个创业的想法。 从财务上讲，作为初创公司创始人他的状况更差——但他毫不后悔 他后来建立的AI食品饮料智能平台Tastewise的概念，直接来自家庭WhatsApp群组，在那里他妈妈每周四都会发消息询问每个人处于什么饮食阶段，然后花一整天时间烹饪传统菜肴。 她看到的是晚餐后勤。他看到了一个灵光乍现的时刻——以及世界上最大的食品公司尚未解决的市场空白：在人们自己意识到之前，预测他们真正想吃什么。 如今，这家初创公司的技术被PepsiCo、Nestlé、Mars、Kraft Heinz、Campbell's和Givaudan等巨头使用，其客户中超过一半是财富100强公司。它已筹集了超过7100万美元的资金。 在财务方面，他坦率地承认自己不如在Google的时候。“还没有，”他说。“我仍在建设中，我全身心投入在事业里。” 但考虑到他的股权，未来Tastewise的一笔交易很可能会让他成为身家数倍于百万的富翁。当被问及离开是否值得时，他毫不犹豫。“这无关紧要，”他谈到自己留下的七位数股权时说。“这几乎就像它不是一个考虑因素。” “我以前早上醒来，感觉‘这还不够’……我喜欢我的工作。我喜欢我的同事。我对自己的成就感到非常高兴。但那不是我的——不是我的想法，不是我的孩子。从无到有创造出一些东西，这其中有太多的满足感。”本文由第三方内容提供商提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)对此不作任何保证或陈述。 分类: 头条新闻,日常新闻 SeaPRwire为公司和机构提供全球新闻稿发布，覆盖超过6,500个媒体库、86,000名编辑和记者，以及350万以上终端桌面和手机App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韩、法、俄、印尼、马来、越南、中文等多种语言新闻稿发布。
