(SeaPRwire) - 一家由马克·库班(Mark Cuban)投资的奶酪公司找到了一个意想不到的用人工智能(AI)削减成本的地方:装载其纯素奶酪轮的硬纸板箱。 总部位于奥斯汀的 Rebel Cheese 保持着精简的团队。但在繁忙的假期季过后,首席执行官 Kirsten Maitland 估计,公司的运输合作伙伴多收了 25 万美元。 对这些费用的高昂感到困惑,她求助于 AI,设计了一个智能代理来审计发票,并将其与公司和运输合作伙伴的合同逐行对比,以标记差异。该代理还会处理箱子的照片,寻找哪怕只有八分之一英寸的鼓胀,这可能会引发巨额的运输超额收费。 总而言之,这个代理已经为 Maitland 节省了 40 万美元,对于一家年轻公司来说这是一笔巨款——《创智赢家》(Shark Tank)明星 Mark Cuban 曾向该公司投资 75 万美元——据估计,到年底其估值将达到 2000 万美元。 “作为一名小企业主,我确实觉得 AI 给了我们与大公司相似的优势,”Maitland 告诉 。“它平衡了竞争环境,给了我们类似的机会。” 如今的 AI 模型正以惊人的速度发展。虽然越来越多的美国人对 AI 导致的就业末日感到恐惧,但另一些人却在积极投身这项技术,利用它来提高效率和解答复杂问题。 AI 如何每月节省 4 万美元 Rebel Cheese 的 AI 代理是这样工作的:Maitland 让她的行政助理将每周的发票上传到 AI 工具中,同时上传公司合同的版本,该合同根据运输规格(如区域、重量和尺寸)规定了费率。然后,代理会标记每一个差异,并提供证据和数据,Maitland 利用这些来申诉收费并从运输合作伙伴那里获得退款。 该代理还可以检查箱子是否存在可能引发价格上涨的物理异常,同时审计包裹的尺寸和重量。一旦标记出差异,Rebel Cheese 可以在发货前进行调整,以避免高昂的附加费。 Maitland 表示,近几个月的节省额已降至 4 万美元以下,但她认为这是因为她的运输合作伙伴现在更清楚她的 AI 工具正在发现超额收费。 AI 代理与人们用来起草电子邮件或设计食谱的典型大型语言模型不同。代理是自主 AI,能够感知环境并在没有人类干预的情况下完成任务。对于 Rebel Cheese 来说,仍然有人在循环中参与,Maitland 和她的助理都与代理互动以产生结果。 为什么其他公司正在(或没有)部署 AI 代理 如今,一些公司正在大规模部署代理,与人类员工一起工作,以自动化日常任务、分析数据和提高生产力。麦肯锡(McKinsey)的《2025 年 AI 现状报告》发现,62% 的公司正在积极实施或计划实施 AI 代理到其工作流程中。一些商业领袖,如 Nvidia 首席执行官 Jensen Huang,预计 10 年后每个人类员工将对应 100 个 AI 代理。 但即使越来越多的高管对这项技术持乐观态度,美国国家经济研究局(National Bureau of Economic Research)最近的一项研究发现,在来自美国、英国、德国和澳大利亚的 6000 名企业高管中,绝大多数人认为 AI 对其业务几乎没有影响。 此外,根据《哈佛商业评论》(Harvard Business Review)的一份报告,即使 AI 代理变得越来越复杂——在某些情况下可以构建整个工作流程——只有 6% 的公司完全信任 AI 代理来处理业务流程。 尽管如此,对于像 Maitland 这样实施这项技术的小企业来说,回报很高,而且代理提供的专业知识是不可替代的。 “我认为即使我雇佣了两名全职员工,他们也找不到所有这些差异,因为数据量太大了,”她说。“老实说,这是无法管理的,而这正是 AI 真正强大的地方。”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。
欧洲和亚洲的五一抗议演变为反美、反以色列的政治战场
(SeaPRwire) - 周五欧洲和亚洲各地的五一游行示威暴露了国际劳动节正日益从传统的劳工权益活动,演变为更广泛的政治战场——有关工资、通胀和劳动者保护的诉求,如今频繁与反战行动、反以色列言论以及围绕全球权力的更大范围意识形态斗争交织在一起。 从巴黎到伊斯坦布尔、马德里、马尼拉再到首尔,抗议活动往往远超职场诉求范畴,示威者将生活成本上涨、社会不平等与中东战争、美国外交政策以及更广泛的反资本主义叙事联系起来。 Nile Gardiner, senior fellow at the Heritage Foundation, told Digital that the demonstrations reflected what he described as a ‘troubling moral inversion’. "These May Day protesters should be demonstrating against the brutal tyranny in Tehran instead of protesting against U.S. military action, and this is an illustration of the complete moral vacuum that exists in Europe today," Gardiner said. 据社交媒体上流传的公开视频显示,巴黎的五一抗议活动最终升级为冲突:示威者投掷投掷物后,警方使用了催泪手榴弹并强行逮捕多人。 此前,法国劳工领袖们的诉求集中在通胀、工资和社会保障方面,但部分抗议活动也出现了反战口号、巴勒斯坦象征符号以及对军事开支的批评。 在马德里,数千人举着“资本主义应为其发动的战争付出代价”的标语游行,示威者抗议工资停滞不前、住房短缺和军国主义。针对Donald Trump和Benjamin Netanyahu的标语牌凸显出,国际冲突与国内劳工议题一样占据了突出位置。 德国慕尼黑也出现了骚乱,据记者流传的公开视频显示,在一场革命性的五一示威活动中,烟花被多次点燃后,防暴警察使用警棍驱散激进左翼抗议者。 Emma Schubart, Research Fellow at the Henry Jackson Society, a London-based think tank, warned that May Day demonstrations increasingly serve as platforms for ideological movements extending beyond labor activism. "The May Day demonstrations across Europe increasingly feature Islamist elements. Militant anti-war, anti-capitalist rhetoric is now routinely accompanied by Palestinian flags and explicit anti-Israel slogans," Schubart said, adding that far-left activism and Islamist-linked networks are increasingly converging under broader anti-Western narratives. 在伊斯坦布尔,警方阻止左翼团体前往被禁止游行的塔克西姆广场——这里是土耳其劳工运动的历史中心,长期以来示威活动都具有象征性的政治分量。抗议者试图冲破路障并与警方发生冲突,当局拘留了部分抗议者。 在欧洲之外,亚洲各地也出现了类似的主题。 在马尼拉,工人在美国大使馆附近与警方发生冲突,他们抗议燃油和大宗商品价格上涨,要求提高工资,并呼吁结束中东的战争。 一个左翼劳工团体展示了一尊巨型雕像,将Trump、Netanyahu和菲律宾总统Ferdinand Marcos Jr.描绘成三头怪物,象征性地将国内困境与本国和国际政治领导层联系起来。 在韩国,数千人聚集在首尔光化门广场附近举行大型劳工集会,核心诉求是集体谈判和劳动者权益,但演讲中也融入了更广泛的地缘政治信息。 Korea Confederation of Trade Unions Chairman Yang Kyung-soo called on demonstrators to "unite with the Iranian and Palestinian workers and people suffering from American imperialist aggression," explicitly connecting labor solidarity to anti-American and Middle East political narratives. 尽管各地的优先诉求各不相同——从法国的工资问题到首尔的劳工权益,但2026年五一劳动节展现出一种日益明显的全球趋势:劳工示威活动日益成为更广泛的意识形态和地缘政治对抗的舞台。 "The United States is fighting to defend the free world against tyranny, and yet across Europe and beyond we are seeing protesters direct their outrage at America and its allies instead of the brutal regimes driving so much of this global instability," Gardiner said. "That should deeply concern anyone who cares about the future of Western civilization." 路透社及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。
MIT AI 专家警告:自动化 Z 世代初级岗位可能适得其反——并让企业失去未来劳动力
(SeaPRwire) - 公司若通过自动化手段来排斥入门级 Z 世代人才,可能会犯下一个代价高昂的长期错误。 这是 MIT(麻省理工学院)研究科学家 Andrew McAfee 的警告,他共同领导了该校数字经济倡议。他争辩说,从源头切断人才,不仅会缩减今天的劳动力——还会破坏产生未来领导者的输送管道。 “除了在职学习和培训学徒制,人们还能通过什么方式学习做这份工作?” McAfee 上个月告诉《哈佛商业评论》。“那是你通过帮助那些擅长做这件事的人处理常规事务来学习做困难的知识型工作的方式。当我们过快地投入太多自动化时,我们就失去了那个学徒阶梯。” 后果不仅限于培训缺口。通过边缘化入门级招聘,公司还冒着失去一个关键竞争优势的风险:Z 世代对 AI 的精通。 根据德勤的一项研究,大约 76% 的 Z 世代报告使用了独立的 AI 工具——这是所有代际中最高的比例。McAfee 说,这种熟悉度使他们成为公司在竞相将 AI 整合到运营中时,具有独特价值的人才。 “存在很大的人口断层。随着年龄增长,人们往往更固守成规,更不愿意尝试疯狂的新事物,比如 AI,” McAfee 补充道,他也是初创公司 Workhelix 的联合创始人,该公司致力于帮助公司了解其 AI 投资回报率。 “所以,如果你正在缩减入门级招聘,你可能会牺牲未来的学习机会和未来的熟练人才。你也在关闭组织中 AI 最热情的高级用户的阀门。” 联系了 McAfee 以获取进一步评论。 Z 世代已面临艰难的就业市场战斗,且比以往任何时候都更加悲观 对于许多年轻人来说,McAfee 的警告可能已经在发挥作用,因为就业市场已经收紧。 根据其《2026 届网络趋势报告》,专注于入门级职位的平台 Handshake 上的职位发布同比下降 2%,且低于疫情前水平 12%。与此同时,根据纽约联储的数据,22 至 27 岁大学毕业生的失业率为 5.6%。 随着毕业季的推进,焦虑情绪正在上升。根据 Monster 的数据,2026 届毕业生中近十分之九担心 AI 或自动化可能会取代入门级职位,这一比例从 2025 年的 64% 大幅上升。 一些商业领袖放大了这些恐惧。例如,Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei 一直重复 AI 可能会消除多达一半的所有入门级白领工作。 这种动态尤其引人注目,因为入门级角色通常是公司能雇用的最便宜的人才——但正如 McAfee 所争辩的那样,削减它们有风险,会破坏成本效率和长期劳动力发展。 然而,历史数据表明年轻工人可能比他们认为的更有韧性。高盛最近的分析发现,受过大学教育的年轻工人在失业后的十年中,其收入损失大约只有其他被替代工人的一半。他们也更有可能转换职业,并进入与新技术互补而非竞争的角色。 “与目前关于 AI 成本将特别严重地打击新毕业生的担忧相反,”报告称,“年轻工人实际上已经能够通过职业流动性和技能升级在过去更灵活地适应。” 一些科技公司正在加倍投入早期职业人才 并非每家公司都在退缩。一些主要雇主正在倾向于入门级招聘,赌注早期职业工人对于构建和扩展 AI 至关重要。 例如,IBM 表示,它将把入门级招聘增加三倍,部分是为了建立更持久的技能并创造更大的长期价值。 “人们都在谈论裁员或冻结招聘,但我实际上想说我们是相反的,” IBM CEO Arvind Krishna 在 10 月表示。“我预计我们在未来 12 个月内从大学毕业招聘的人数可能会比过去几年多,所以你会看到这一点。” 就在本周,Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff 宣布他的公司正在招聘 1000 名新毕业生和实习生,以帮助构建其 AI 系统。 “你说得对,他们说 AI 会杀死入门级工作,”他在 X 上写道。“与此同时,这些毕业生和实习生正在构建它——为 Salesforce 的 Agentforce 和 Headless360 提供动力。” 甚至亚马逊——近年来因裁员数千人而面临审查——也在维持其年轻人才的管道。 根据商业内幕,这家科技巨头计划在 2026 年招聘 11,000 名软件工程实习生,与往年一致。 “我可以告诉你,我们在亚马逊内部招聘的软件开发人员与以往一样多,” AWS CEO Matt Garman 说。“事实上,我看到对这种需求真的在加速。”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。

Ex-parliamentarian Rosemarijn Dral appointed to lead Dutch betting association VNLOK
(AsiaGameHub) - The Dutch betting and gaming association VNLOK has named former parliamentarian Rosemarijn Dral as its new Director. Dral’s background in politics is expected to be an asset for VNLOK as the online gaming industry in the Netherlands faces renewed pressure from lawmakers. Serving as an MP from July 2024 to November 2025, Dral is a member of the centre-right People’s Party for Freedom and Democracy (VVD) and previously acted as the party’s spokesperson for gambling and other legal matters. Her expertise is particularly relevant to VNLOK, given that the VVD is a partner in the Dutch coalition government formed following the October 2025 elections, alongside the centrist Democratic 66 (D66) and the centre-right Christian Democratic Alliance (CDA). Rosemarijn Dral, Director of VNLOK – Source: VNLOK “The regulation of online gambling involves critical societal issues, including consumer protection and regulatory enforcement,” Dral noted. “I view it as my objective to collaborate with our members, the government, and regulators to develop policies that genuinely foster safe and responsible gaming in practice.” “VNLOK is committed to transparency, maintaining open dialogue, and providing factual contributions to political decision-making and policy implementation.” VNLOK appointment arrives during a challenging period Dral takes on her role at VNLOK during a tense time for the Dutch gambling sector, following a 2024 tax agreement that increased the gross gambling revenue (GGR) tax rate from 30.5% to 34.2% on 1 January 2025, with a further rise to 37.8% scheduled for 1 January 2026. These tax hikes have prompted operators such as LiveScore Bet and Flutter Entertainment’s Tombola to exit the Dutch market. Beyond the mounting financial pressures, the regulated sector reports that it is struggling against a significant black market. Furthermore, the regulator, the Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), has noted a decline in regulated betting revenues. Bookmakers are also under scrutiny regarding their marketing practices. Strict regulations implemented in 2024 include prohibitions on sports sponsorships and the use of ‘role models,’ such as professional footballers, in advertising. Opposition parties—the ChristenUnie (CU) and the Socialist Party (SP)—are currently advocating for a total advertising ban and a proposal to increase KSA enforcement fines from 10% of an operator's annual revenue to 100%. Advocating for the industry’s interests to the government on these matters, particularly concerning the illegal market, will be a primary focus for VNLOK and Dral throughout 2026. Dral’s appointment follows the merger of VNLOK with the Netherlands Online Gaming Association (NOGA) in June of last year. Björn Fuchs, Chairman of VNLOK, stated: “Rosemarijn Dral possesses a strong focus on social responsibility, paired with extensive experience in political and administrative spheres.” “With this, she strengthens VNLOK within a rapidly changing market where collaboration is vital to ensure consumer protection and effectively combat illegal operations. By bringing Rosemarijn on board, we are taking a significant step toward the further professionalization and visibility of VNLOK.” This article is provided by a third-party.

金正恩在讲话中揭示朝鲜极端战场原则
(SeaPRwire) - 这篇报道涉及自杀议题。如果你或你认识的任何人有自杀念头,请联系Suicide & Crisis Lifeline,拨打号码988或1-800-273-TALK (8255)求助。朝鲜独裁者金正恩公开赞扬了在库尔斯克地区同乌克兰军队作战时宁肯自杀也不愿被俘的士兵,这也最为清晰地证实了官员与情报机构长期以来的说法:平壤当局拥有一项最为极端的战场政策。朝鲜官方媒体KCNA周一公布了金正恩的讲话内容,该消息最早由Reuters报道。金正恩在阵亡朝鲜士兵的纪念仪式上对俄罗斯官员以及阵亡者家属发表讲话,向那些“毫不犹豫选择自我毁灭与自杀之路”而非投降的士兵致敬。金正恩称:“不仅是为捍卫崇高荣誉,毫不犹豫选择自我毁灭与自杀之路的英雄,那些冲在突击作战最前线、最终战死沙场的人同样是英雄。”此番言论是金正恩首次直接承认,为俄罗斯作战的朝鲜部队为避免被乌克兰军队俘虏,采取了极端措施。据Reuters援引韩国、乌克兰以及西方官员的消息,朝鲜向俄罗斯西部的库尔斯克地区部署了约1.4万名士兵,以支持莫斯科的战事。这些官员表示,这支部队损失惨重,在战争中几场最激烈的战斗里,已有超过6000名朝鲜士兵确认阵亡。数月以来,情报报告、战场证据以及脱北者证词都指向一项残酷指令:朝鲜士兵必须引爆手榴弹或以其他方式自杀,不得冒着被俘的风险。这项政策甚至延伸到了少数幸存者身上。据The Guardian报道,两名被乌克兰军队俘虏、目前关押在基辅的朝鲜战俘都曾尝试引爆自杀,但因伤势过重没能成功。据报道,其中一名被俘士兵因没能执行命令感到愧疚。金正恩的最新讲话,将原本只是战场指控的相关传闻,变成了公开推崇的国家信条。金正恩补充道:“那些不愿承受枪弹炮弹撕碎身体的痛苦,因未能尽到士兵职责而苦闷煎熬的人,同样称得上是党的忠诚战士与爱国者。”这份声明突显了施加在朝鲜部队身上的高强度意识形态要求,朝鲜部队对政权的忠诚似乎超越了作战范畴,延伸到了自我毁灭层面。这一披露也凸显了平壤与莫斯科之间不断深化的军事关系。根据韩国情报部门的评估,朝鲜不仅向俄罗斯提供了士兵,还提供了弹药,作为交换,朝鲜得到了经济援助与军事技术。Reuters参与了本报道的采写。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。

Pragmatic Play and Hacksaw Gaming also earned recognition in the Game Studio of the Year categories, while Play’n GO secured Game of the Year for Reactoonz 100. Additional awards went to Creedroomz for Game Design & Art Direction and TaDa Gaming for Game Feature/Mechanic of the Year. In the payments and compliance categories, Yaspa was named Payment Solution of the Year, and GBG won Compliance & KYC Partner of the Year. Gaming1 was also acknowledged for its commitment to safer gambling, taking home the Socially Responsible Initiative of the Year award. The night also featured a range of Rising Star categories, spotlighting emerging companies making an impact across the industry. 18Peaches was named Rising Star in Casino, while Odds88 secured the Rising Star in Sports Betting award on the supplier side. Among operators, 247Bet (by Casimba Gaming) was recognized in sports betting, and Impressario Casino took home the casino Rising Star award. “I would like to take the chance to thank our headline sponsors, 1xBet and Spribe and Official Partner, Gaming Malta, alongside our supporting sponsors. Their support has made it possible to deliver a memorable celebration of the industry’s achievements,” said Sojmark.

Global Experts call for Paradigm Shift in Medicine, Health and Education to Save Lives and Fight Escalating Health Crisis
INNSBRUCK, AUSTRIA, May 1, 2026 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A global consortium of 64 experts (72 entities, 5 continents) unveiled two coordinated consensus plus policy brief reports, outlining a science‑driven roadmap to confront escalating health crises and to tackle the growing burden of noncommunicable diseases (NCDs-including cardiovascular diseases, cancer, diabetes, etc.: 75% of global deaths; 82% in low-/middle income countries; 90% of all death in European region).The centerpiece is HEAL-Healthy Eating & Active Living, ideally whole‑food plant‑predominant/vegetarian-vegan diets & daily exercise outdoors/active mobility-as the minimum, first‑line standard in health and care. The authors urge immediate action on Prevention-over-Treatment and reforming education and human‑relevant science (drug failure rate from animal studies is 90-95%, and as high as 99.6% for Alzheimer disease), with a rapid shift from disease‑centered reaction to person‑centered, lifestyle‑first cure and care.Figure 1. HEAL means choosing a whole-food, plant-predominant (ideally vegan) diets coupled with daily exercise outdoors/in nature to kick-start better health.

As childhood-entrenched health literacy lasts a lifetime; embedding HEAL from primary to tertiary education is the policy priority of our generation." -Lead author Katharina Wirnitzer | PHT, University of Innsbruck & CCCTIMFigure 2. Katharina Wirnitzer/Keynote on Vegan Diet in Sports. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer.Why change is imperativeThe paradox: Despite rising health spending and scientific advances, public health gains lag while ever-growing NCDs. The expert panel offers 101 consensus statements and a 10‑step policy roadmap to act across the lifespan-from individual behavior to population‑level change.Why HEAL, and why now: HEAL combines Healthy Eating (whole‑food, plant‑predominant; preferably vegetarian/vegan) with Active Living (regular, ideally daily, including outdoor activity and active mobility). Evidence shows synergistic benefits beyond either alone, reducing reliance on drugs and surgery while improving resilience and sustainability of health systems.Prevention-First (3:1): The reports recommend prioritizing prevention, health maintenance, and health promotion over treatment by 3:1 (Figure 3), making healthy choices the easy, first‑line intervention and reserving medicalized treatment for specific indications.Education and workforce: Embed HEAL from primary through tertiary education and continuously upskill healthcare and education professionals to deliver evidence‑based lifestyle counseling, routine assessment, and monitoring. Improve meal standards and support active mobility in schools and public spaces.Human‑relevant science: Accelerate the transition to non‑animal, human‑relevant methods for basic and preclinical research and for efficacy, safety and toxicity testing through funding priorities, validation, and regulatory adoption.Policy roadmap: Apply Health in All Policies (HiAP) to link individual choices with systemic supports (Figure 4); invest in supportive defaults (healthy public catering, active transport, public‑space design, community HEAL programs); embed HEAL in curricula; and track outcomes with robust evaluation to scale what works."Every dollar/euro invested in evidence-based prevention saves multiples in treatment. HEAL is the smartest first investment a health system can make." -Bernd Haditsch | ÖGK - Austrian Health Insurance Fund, Prevention Unit"Obesity is a disease with powerful drivers. HEAL gives every patient a proven, first-line foundation to reclaim their health." -Fatima Cody Stanford | Harvard Medical School & MGH"A doctor who cannot counsel patients on the Power of Lifestyle, especially on food and movement, is only half-equipped. Lifestyle education in medical school is the missing foundation of modern medicine. Helping our patients to eat a more plant-strong diet is the most powerful healing medicine we can prescribe." -Michael Klaper | Moving Medicine Forward"Plant-forward diets provide a powerful opportunity to concurrently improve health and wellbeing for people, farmed animals and the environment." -Andrew Knight | Griffith UniversityFigure 3. Four areas-of-action, balanced 3:1, to achieve lifelong health. Credit: ©Katharina Wirnitzer."Given its cost-effectiveness, Traditional, Integrative, and Complementary Medicine will be the evidence-based mainstream of tomorrow's global healthcare." -Tomáš Pfeiffer | ITCIM & SANATOR"Treatment alone will not sustain health systems. HEAL connects prevention, lifestyle medicine and integrative care to advance salutogenesis on a planetary scale. We must invest far more in creating health." -Georg Seifert | WHO CC & CCCTIM, Charité Universitäts mediz in Berlin"The science clearly shows that, when it comes to human health, animal protection is a win-win. Given human health's complexity, and since animal testing virtually fails to cure human diseases, human-relevant methods already outperform animal experimentation and must therefore be implemented with priority in science, with funds going to human-focused research. Citizens in the EU and US have spoken clearly in favor of this transition.

当世界酷热难耐时,公司争相寻找让每个人保持凉爽的方法
(SeaPRwire) - 上周印度气温高达114华氏度——这一激进的气温飙升导致人们无法工作。世界气象组织的一份报告称,欧洲面临“快速变暖”和“危险的高空气温”。美国经历了132年有记录以来最热的3月。 听起来平淡无奇的暖通空调正成为舞台中心。供暖、通风和空调不仅仅是一个“可有可无”的东西,现在往往关乎生死。在北方,保暖曾经是首要任务。现在,降温成了首要任务。 企业花费巨额资金将建筑保持在适宜的温度并让员工满意——高达50%的办公楼能源消耗用于供暖或制冷。气候的不稳定性意味着对解决冷热难题的复杂方案需求迫切。 人工智能可以提供帮助,就像它对大多数商业系统所做的那样。了解太阳强度、阳光照射角度和云层深度有助于在需要时调节热量,在气温飙升时提供制冷能力。如果供暖和制冷系统协同工作,效率会更高,根据大量数据输入,每分钟调节能源使用。大语言模型正是为此类任务而生的。 Trane Technologies,位列欧洲500强第215位,是这方面的专家。它的客户和市场已经注意到了这一点。昨日,在报告超出预期的第一季度业绩后,该公司上调了全年利润和收入预期。Trane今年的股价上涨了26%。无论美国总统对“绿色骗局”有何看法,提供气候友好型解决方案都具有价值。 “我们制定了2030年可持续发展承诺,我们正按计划进行,”Trane首席执行官Dave Regnery上个月在伦敦汉普顿宫举行的查尔斯国王可持续市场倡议会议上告诉我。 “我们没有退缩的原因是我们的产品能为客户带来巨大的回报。有一种误解认为,如果某样东西是可持续的,它一定更贵。在许多情况下,我们的项目现金回报期不到三年。因此,这对客户非常有吸引力,顺便说一句,它们还能显著减少您的碳足迹。” 就像气温一样,对暖通空调的需求也在上升。在美国,Trane看到订单增长了40%,因为公司寻求算法数据系统来管理需求。如果您的办公室食堂一天只满两次,为什么还要像每个桌子都坐满一样,全天24小时对其进行供暖和制冷? “如果您考虑到建筑环境,所有电力中有30%用于建筑,而这30%中又有30%用于供暖和制冷,”Regnery说。“我们知道——因为我们进行了数十万次能源审计——大多数建筑浪费了它们支付能源的约30%。” “我们需要AI帮助我们减少那30%,我们有一些例子,我们能够将那些刚刚正式启用的建筑物(这意味着它们以最有效的设备按照设计方式运行)在六个月内,通过使用我们的一些AI算法,展示出10%到15%的效率提升。建筑物正变得更强壮和更智能。” 20世纪70年代,拥有集中供暖是欧洲房主炫耀的资本。现在空调成了晚餐聚会的话题。让每个人和每样东西都降温正变得越来越成为一门大生意。 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。

Super Technologies Adds Four Household Names in Leadership Shakeup
(AsiaGameHub) - Super Technologies has unveiled a major overhaul of its senior leadership, appointing new executives to its board and management team with an emphasis on technology and artificial intelligence. A key appointment sees Mina Dimitrova named Chief Strategy Officer, tasked with leading organic growth, venture incubation, AI transformation, and mergers and acquisitions. Dimitrova arrives with a career history in strategic and operational leadership at Google, YouTube, and McKinsey & Company. In another move, Sergio Ezama has joined as a Non-Executive Board Member and Chair of the Remuneration Committee. Currently the Chief Talent Officer at Netflix, Ezama offers deep expertise in leadership, talent, and compensation strategy, having formerly held the role of Global Chief Talent Officer at PepsiCo. Furthermore, ex-Amazon executive Andrew Watts assumes the position of Chief Product Officer. Watts contributes over twenty years of experience in digital commerce, platform development, and AI. He played a key role in scaling Prime Video at Jeff Bezos’s US behemoth and joins from his most recent role as Senior Vice President of Product Management at Zalando. Completing the new hires, Olatz Urroz comes on board as Chief Financial Officer. Her professional background features senior finance and strategy positions at Banco Santander and Amazon, including CFO and SVP roles at Santander's global payments division, PagoNxt. This leadership restructuring also involves the exit of former CFO Glyn Hughes, who is returning to Hellen’s Rock Capital – a strategic investor in Super Technologies. Throughout his three years with the company, Hughes managed significant refinancing and expansion projects, while also reinforcing its financial discipline and operational framework. Sacha Dragic, Founder and CEO of Super Technologies, expressed his welcome to the new team members and acknowledged Hughes's work in a LinkedIn post. He stated: “Thank you Glyn Hughes for all great help in Superbet and welcome back to Hellen’s Rock Capital. “Thank you Sergio Ezama for your trust in what we are trying to achieve and I am honoured you accepted to join our board and chair our RemCo. “And finally a huge welcome to Olatz Urroz Mina Dimitrova and Andrew Watts. I am sure we will have a lot of fun together.” Super Technologies to push on despite regulatory pressures This leadership renewal occurs during a period of regulatory shifts in the company's home nation of Romania, where it holds a leading market position through its Superbet division. In March, the Romanian government responded to the sector's growth by revising gambling laws, empowering local authorities to shut down or limit betting shops and gaming arcades. Addressing this, Borut Petek, Chief Global Affairs Officer at Super Technologies, informed SBC News: “We do not support blanket closures of retail venues, and we do not see forced substitution from retail to online as good policy. “Our position is not retail versus online. Our position is legal versus illegal.” Nevertheless, the firm has continued to advance, even as competition and regulatory scrutiny intensify across Romania and Europe. In February, it bolstered its Romanian standing by acquiring Maxbet Online. Super Technologies has also recently entered Greece as its fifth European market with the launch of Superbet, and last year it obtained a €1.3bn (£1.1bn) refinancing deal with alternative asset manager Blackstone for 2025. The wave of high-level appointments, with each new leader possessing substantial experience from globally recognized brands, indicates the company remains proactive and is aiming to modernize in anticipation of a potentially challenging period for the gambling sector.

Datavault AI 与 CyberCatch 宣布签署具有约束力的意向书, Datavault AI 将收购 CyberCatch 以加速推出基于人工智能且具备 抗量子攻击能力的网络风险缓解解决方案
宾夕法尼亚州费城和加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥, 2026年5月1日 - (亚太商讯 via SeaPRwire.com) - Datavault AI Inc.(“Datavault AI”或“公司”) (纳斯达克代码:DVLT),一家提供数据变 现、凭证认证、数字互动及现实世界资产(“RWA”)通证化技术的供应商,与 CyberCatch Holdings, Inc.(“CyberCatch”)(多伦多证券交易所创业板代码:CYBE) (OTCQB代码:CYBHF), 一家提供专利AI赋能平台以实现持续合规与网络风险缓解的 网络安全公司,今日宣布双方已签署具有约束力的意向书(以下简称“LOI”)。根据该意 向书,Datavault AI与CyberCatch将签订最终协议,由Datavault AI通过全股票交易收购 CyberCatch 100%股权,该交易将作为根据《不列颠哥伦比亚省商业公司法》制定的、经 法院批准的安排计划进行。根据该意向书并受最终协议约束,Datavault AI将以每股CyberCatch股份5.11加元的价格 ,换取约4990万股新发行的Datavault AI普通股 (“Datavault AI股份”),每股CyberCatch 股份作价5.11加元,这意味着CyberCatch已发行且流通在外的普通股总价值为 136,843,820加元。 所有可转换或可行权为 CyberCatch 普通股的已发行及流通中的 CyberCatch 证券,都将按每股 Datavault AI 股份 2.00 美元的推定价值,以无现金行权的 方式兑换为 Datavault AI 股份。 交易完成后,在获得惯例的董事会、证券交易所以及任何 必要的监管机构和股东批准的前提下,预计Datavault AI股东将持有Datavault AI约92.48% 的股权,CyberCatch股东将持有约7.52%的股权(按非完全稀释基础计算)。 预计 CyberCatch将作为Datavault AI的子公司,在加利福尼亚州圣地亚哥开展业务; CyberCatch创始人、董事长兼首席执行官Sai Huda将出任该子公司的总裁,向Datavault AI首席执行官Nathaniel T. Bradley汇报。战略考量此次合并处于网络安全两大最大长期增长市场的交汇点。据Gartner预测,2026年全球终 端用户在信息安全方面的支出预计将达到2400亿美元;此外,Gartner还预测,到2029年 ,由人工智能增强的安全细分市场规模将达到1600亿美元,较2025年的490亿美元显著增 长。 根据IBM《2025年数据泄露成本报告》,目前美国数据泄露的平均成本为1022万美 元,全球平均成本为444万美元。监管政策正与这一需求趋势形成合力。 美国国防部网络安全成熟度模型认证(CMMC) 计划的第一阶段已于2025年11月10日生效,其中针对二级合同的强制性第三方C3PAO评 估将于2026年11月开始,全面执行范围将覆盖约22万家国防工业基地的承包商和分包商 。 CyberCatch的平台专为满足国防领域的该强制要求而设计,同时也适用于医疗保健领 域的HIPAA、制造业的NIST 800-171以及金融服务领域的NIST CSF 2.0等标准。该组合方案同样面向后量子安全时代。谷歌已将2029年定为内部截止期限,届时需将身 份验证系统迁移至抗量子加密技术。此外,谷歌量子人工智能研究表明,保护众多数字签 名和身份验证系统的椭圆曲线加密技术,可能被拥有少于50万个物理量子位的超导量子 计算机破解,这一数量级比此前估计低了一个数量级。 CyberCatch正将其正在申请专利 的、基于多权威的属性加密与撤销("MARS-MABE")技术进行改造以实现抗量子能力, 并将MARS-MABE与 的持续代理式AI渗透测试相结合,从而打造出适用于医疗保健、国防 、制造业、金融服务及能源领域的下一代网络安全架构。关于 CyberCatch 的平台与领导团队CyberCatch 拥有专利的、基于 AI 的持续网络安全合规与风险缓解解决方案:· 利用生成式人工智能确保所有法定控制措施到位,并计算“网络卫生评分”· 利用代理式AI持续模拟威胁行为者的战术、技术和程序以执行渗透测试,并计算网 络入侵评分· 在威胁行为者利用漏洞并得逞之前,检测漏洞并及时进行修复该平台从“由外而内”、“由内而外”以及“社会工程学”三个维度持续测试网络安全控制措施 ,并与NIST CSF 2.0、NIST 800-171、CMMC 2.0、ISO 27001、HIPAA、PCI DSS及其他监 管框架相对应,通过使用具备专业技能的代理进行持续的基于代理的AI渗透测试,取代了 每年一次的手动渗透测试。与当前的RSA和AES-256加密相比,MARS-MABE具有以下显著优势:· 仅在满足精细化用户属性条件时才授予数据访问权限· 可将用户访问权限限制在精细化的数据子集范围内· 可即时撤销用户对数据子集的访问权限,无需重新加密整个数据集,从而显著提升 速度并大幅节省成本CyberCatch 由创始人、董事长兼首席执行官 Sai Huda 领导。他是全球公认的网络安全专 家,畅销书《Next Level Cybersecurity》的作者,加拿大国家网络安全标准的合著者,以 及美国专利商标局(USPTO)第 11,297,094 号专利“基于测量与评分的自动化和持续网络 安全评估”的发明人。 他曾是 Compliance Coach 的创始人兼首席执行官,该公司被《财 富》500强企业 FIS 收购后,他担任了风险、信息安全与合规解决方案总经理一职。CyberCatch的董事会及顾问委员会成员包括:· 汤姆·里奇(Tom Ridge),美国前总统特别助理、美国国土安全部首任部长,曾两 度担任宾夕法尼亚州州长· 马夫·兰斯顿博士,美国国防高级研究计划局(DARPA)前信息系统主任,美国海 军前网络安全主管· 斯科特·泰特(Scott Tait),前美国海军上校,曾任五角大楼参谋长联席会议国家 安全顾问CyberCatch的客户覆盖美国国防供应链、医疗保健、金融服务、制造业、教育及公共部 门。公司通过2026年2月收购的多权威属性基于加密技术(现命名为MARS-MABE),以 及与 、Technologies 等2026年经销商和推荐合作伙伴(包括面向美国政府机构的多家经 销商合作伙伴)的合作,进一步扩展了其业务能力。新增战略优势:贯穿Datavault AI技术栈的平台集成与网络防御层交易完成后,CyberCatch的AI赋能SaaS平台预计还将作为网络安全和持续合规层,覆盖 Datavault AI现有的技术套件,包括:· DataValue®、DataScore® 及 Information Data Exchange®(IDE®)——这些产品将原 生运行于 Available Infrastructure 的 SanQtum AI 抗量子、零信任边缘平台之上, 该平台计划于 2026 年底前在美国 100 多个城市部署 1,000 个城市微边缘新云站点· 声学科学部门的技术(WiSA®、ADIO®、Sumerian®)以及IDE®部署,服务于体育、 娱乐、生物技术、教育、金融科技、房地产、医疗保健和能源领域的客户· 针对联邦政府及受监管行业客户的工作负载,持续符合NIST、CMMC、ISO 27001 、SOC 2、HIPAA和PCI DSS框架的合规性证明,正日益成为采购、审计和续约的先 决条件此次拟议的收购旨在为 Datavault AI 的客户和合作伙伴提供一条从安全计算到 AI 驱动的数 据分析的集成路径,并在每个层级实现持续合规性证明。管理层评论“网络安全已不再是与数据和 AI 分离的独立领域——它是两者的先决条件。 Datavault AI首 席执行官纳撒尼尔·T·布拉德利(Nathaniel T. Bradley)表示:“CyberCatch的持续合规平 台预计将通过为DataValue®、DataScore®和IDE®增添实时风险及 合规信号,在我们的量子 安全边缘设备集群的每个节点(从联邦承包商到企业数据客户)提供另一项战略优势。” “Datavault AI的量子就绪边缘平台正是我们的客户以及国防、医疗保健和金融服务等关键 领域市场所需要的、内置网络安全功能的下一代基础设施。加入Datavault AI为他们提供 了一条明确的途径,通向一个内置持续合规性和网络风险缓解功能的统一安全数据平台, ”CyberCatch创始人、董事长兼首席执行官Sai Huda表示。交易概述根据具有约束力的意向书,CyberCatch普通股股东将按上述条款获得Datavault AI新发行 的普通股,CyberCatch将成为Datavault AI的全资子公司。 拟发行的 Datavault AI 股份预 计将依据《1933 年美国证券法》(经修订,以下简称“《证券法》”)第 3(a)(10) 条规定的 注册豁免,以及适用的各州证券法豁免条款进行发行。 本次交易须待最终协议的协商与签署、尽职调查的完成、双方公司董事会的批准、 CyberCatch股东的必要批准、安排计划(不列颠哥伦比亚省)获得相关法院批准,以及 纳斯达克股票市场和多伦多证券交易所创业板(TSX Venture Exchange)的批准,并满足 其他惯常的交割条件。各方已同意在为期45天的互不竞争期内协商最终协议。关于 Datavault AIDatavault AI™(纳斯达克代码:DVLT)是 Web 3.0 环境中人工智能驱动的数据体验、资产 估值及变现领域的先驱。该公司基于云的平台通过其声学科学和数据科学两大部门提供全 面的解决方案。 Datavault AI 的声学科学部门拥有 WiSA®、ADIO®和 Sumerian®等专利技术,用于空间和多 声道无线高清音频传输。 数据科学部门利用 Web3 和高性能计算技术,在体育与娱乐、 生物技术、教育、金融科技、房地产、医疗保健、能源等众多行业中,实现体验式数据感 知、估值及安全变现。 信息数据交易所®(IDE®)是由纳斯达克金融基础设施(Nasdaq Financial Infrastructure) 提供技术支持的代币交易所。 本公司拥有并运营基于其专利技术构建的交易所,包括但 不限于国际元素交易所(IEE)、 《体育画报》交易所(SIx)、纽约互动广告交易所( NYIAX)以及美国政治交易所(APE)。公司总部位于宾夕法尼亚州费城。更多信息请访 问 https://www.dvlt.ai/。关于 CyberCatchCyberCatch Holdings, Inc.

("CyberCatch") (TSXV:CYBE) (OTCQB:CYBHF), a cybersecurity company offering a patented, AI-enabled platform for continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation, today announced they have entered into a binding letter of intent (the "LOI") under which Datavault AI and CyberCatch will enter into a definitive agreement for Datavault AI to acquire 100% of CyberCatch in an all-stock transaction structured as a court-approved plan of arrangement under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia).Under the LOI and subject to a definitive agreement, Datavault AI will acquire 100% of CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares (being approximately 26.8 million shares) in exchange for approximately 49.9 million newly issued shares of Datavault AI common stock (the "Datavault AI Shares") at CAD $5.11 per CyberCatch share, which implies an aggregate value to CyberCatch's issued and outstanding common shares of CAD $136,843,820. All issued and outstanding CyberCatch securities convertible into or exercisable for CyberCatch common shares will be exchanged for Datavault AI Shares on a cashless exercise basis at a deemed value of USD $2.00 per Datavault AI Share. Upon closing of the transaction, subject to customary board, stock exchange, and any necessary regulatory and shareholder approvals, it is anticipated that Datavault AI stockholders will hold approximately 92.48% and CyberCatch shareholders approximately 7.52% of the equity of Datavault AI, on a non-fully diluted basis. It is anticipated that CyberCatch will operate as a subsidiary of Datavault AI from San Diego, California, and CyberCatch founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda will serve as President of the subsidiary, reporting to Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI.Strategic RationaleThe combination is positioned at the intersection of two of cybersecurity's largest secular markets. According to Gartner, worldwide end-user spending on information security is projected to reach $240 billion in 2026, and Gartner separately projects the AI-amplified security segment will reach $160 billion by 2029, up from $49 billion in 2025. According to IBM's 2025 Cost of a Data Breach Report, the average U.S. data breach now costs $10.22 million, with a global average of $4.44 million.Regulatory tailwinds are converging with that demand picture. Phase 1 of the U.S. Department of Defense's Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification ("CMMC") program took effect on November 10, 2025, with mandatory third-party C3PAO assessments for Level 2 contracts beginning in November 2026 and full enforcement extending across approximately 220,000 Defense Industrial Base contractors and subcontractors. CyberCatch's platform is purpose-built to address that mandate in defense, HIPAA in healthcare, NIST 800-171 in manufacturing, NIST CSF 2.0 in financial services, among others.The combination is also positioned for the post-quantum security era. Google has set 2029 as its internal deadline to migrate authentication systems to quantum-resistant cryptography. Separately, Google Quantum AI research demonstrated that the elliptic curve cryptography protecting many digital signatures and authentication systems could be broken by a superconducting quantum computer with fewer than 500,000 physical qubits, an order of magnitude lower than previous estimates. CyberCatch is converting its patent-pending, multi-authority, attribute-based encryption with revocation ("MARS-MABE") technology to attain quantum-resistance, and combining MARS-MABE with continuous agentic AI penetration testing creates a next-generation cybersecurity stack applicable across healthcare, defense, manufacturing, financial services, and energy.About CyberCatch's Platform and LeadershipCyberCatch's patented, AI-enabled continuous cybersecurity compliance and risk mitigation solution:Uses generative AI to ensure all legally required controls are in place and calculates a Cyber Hygiene ScoreUses agentic AI to continuously simulate threat-actor tactics, techniques, and procedures to perform penetration tests and calculates a Cyber Breach ScoreDetects gaps for prompt remediation before a threat actor can exploit and be successfulThe platform tests cybersecurity controls continuously from three dimensions, outside-in, inside-out, and social engineering, mapping to NIST CSF 2.0, NIST 800-171, CMMC 2.0, ISO 27001, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and other regulated frameworks, replacing once-a-year manual penetration tests with continuous agentic AI penetration testing using specialized skill-set agents.MARS-MABE provides several distinct advantages over current RSA and AES-256 encryption, such as:Access to data is provided only if fine-grained user attributes are metAccess to users can be limited to fine-grained data subsetsInstant revocation of user access to data subsets, eliminating the need to re-encrypt the entire data set and providing speed and significant cost savingsCyberCatch is led by founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer Sai Huda, a globally recognized cybersecurity expert, author of the bestselling Next Level Cybersecurity, co-author of Canada's National Cybersecurity Standard, and inventor of USPTO Patent No. 11,297,094, "Automated and Continuous Cybersecurity Assessment with Measurement and Scoring."

CyberCatch's continuous compliance platform is expected to provide another strategic advantage by adding to DataValue®, DataScore®, and the IDE® a real-time risk and compliance signal at every node of our quantum-secured edge fleet, from federal contractors to enterprise data customers," said Nathaniel T. Bradley, CEO of Datavault AI."Datavault AI's quantum-ready edge platform is exactly the next-generation infrastructure our customers and the marketplace in critical sectors such as in defense, healthcare, and financial services need cybersecurity built into. Joining Datavault AI gives them a clear path to a unified secure-data platform with continuous compliance and cyber risk mitigation built in," said Sai Huda, founder, Chairman, and Chief Executive Officer of CyberCatch.Transaction OverviewUnder the binding LOI, holders of CyberCatch's common shares will receive newly issued common shares of Datavault AI as described above, with CyberCatch becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Datavault AI. The Datavault AI Shares to be issued are anticipated to be issued in reliance on the exemption from registration under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), provided by Section 3(a)(10), and applicable state securities law exemptions.The transaction is subject to negotiation and execution of a definitive agreement, completion of due diligence, board approvals of both companies, requisite CyberCatch shareholder approval, applicable court approval of the plan of arrangement (British Columbia), and approvals of The Nasdaq Stock Market and the TSX Venture Exchange, as well as other customary closing conditions.

Genius Sports Finalizes $1.2bn Legend Acquisition – Will Its Stock Woes Clear?
(AsiaGameHub) - Genius Sports has finalized its acquisition of sports and gaming media group Legend, a transaction that has presented challenges for its stock performance in recent months. London-based, NYSE-listed Genius agreed to acquire Legend for $1.2 billion (£881.7 million) in February 2026. The company pursued this takeover to significantly broaden its global presence in sports media and among iGaming audiences. However, the markets did not share the same enthusiasm for the takeover. Genius' share price declined by 27% following the announcement, impacting the company's corporate value by an estimated $600 million to $700 million. While the company's share price has seen some recovery since then, it remains considerably lower than its value at the beginning of 2026. In early April, its market capitalization fell below the value of the Legend acquisition, and as of May 1, it stands at $1.12 billion. Genius' Chief Executive Officer, Mark Locke, along with numerous other analysts, contended that the lack of market confidence in the Legend M&A was due to a fundamental misunderstanding of the firm's new asset and the advantages it offers Genius. “The market’s reaction to our acquisition of Legend has been divided,” Locke stated in late February. “That has happened before when we made transformative deals. Much of the criticism has relied on a reductive use of the word “affiliate”.” “The term has been applied as shorthand, without distinguishing between low-quality traffic brokers and technology platforms built on owned audiences and behavioral intelligence.” Genius now has chance to prove its mettle With the acquisition complete, the critical test begins now. As analysts such as Bernie McTernan of Needham and Jordan Bender of Citizens informed SBC News, Genius can only restore confidence by demonstrating why and how the Legend acquisition is the correct strategic move. Bender, for instance, quoted an affiliate industry source who described Legend as "the real deal" and "one of the greatest affiliate businesses in history." Genius clearly shares this view. The company anticipates that the integration of Legend will contribute to achieving $1 billion in revenue by the end of 2026, and with the acquisition finalized, the focus shifts to execution—the true measure of success. Source: Genius Sports – investor Summit The company remains firm in its assertion that the acquisition will be "immediate accretive" to its adjusted EBITDA margins and free cash flow conversion. It has also highlighted the 320 million annual visits from 118 million unique visitors that Legend attracted in 2025 across its portfolio, which includes well-known sites like Covers.com, Casino.org, and Casino Guru. Commenting on the M&A completion, Locke remarked: “Genius Sports has spent years building the data infrastructure behind modern sport. With Legend, we now extend that into the moment where fans choose to participate and act. “This combination not only strengthens our core sports business but also expands our ability to monetize new audiences in iGaming, increasing the economic value of our platform across both verticals and driving significant cash flow.” Genius is scheduled to release its Q1 2026 results on May 7, 2025. Trading on the NYSE is not yet open today until 2:30 pm GMT, so any effect the M&A completion has on share value remains to be seen… This article is provided by a third-party.

BETBY Broadens Asian Reach Through Partnership with QTech Games
(AsiaGameHub) - BETBY has entered into a partnership with QTech Games, becoming the exclusive sportsbook supplier for the aggregator's global network of operators. Under this agreement, the Malta-based company will integrate its complete sportsbook solution onto the QTech platform. This will provide partnered operators with a full suite of offerings, featuring over 500,000 events per month, AI-powered trading tools, and its proprietary esports feed, Betby.Games. Implemented through a single API, the integration aims to streamline sportsbook deployment and greatly lower the technical hurdles traditionally involved in launching sports betting products. “Aligning with QTech Games is a logical progression for BETBY,” stated Stefanos Karakidis, Business Development Director at BETBY. “They have solidified their position as a leading aggregator in Asia, possessing robust distribution channels and extensive local knowledge, all while expanding into other high-growth regions. “QTech possesses a keen insight into local player preferences and operator requirements, and our collaboration will enable us to provide a premier, mobile-focused sportsbook experience that meets the specific needs of their target markets.” This deal is also consistent with BETBY's wider strategy for geographical growth. Leveraging QTech's existing presence, especially in Asia, allows BETBY to enter crucial emerging markets while also strengthening its position in areas like Latin America and Africa. The alliance seeks to merge BETBY's sportsbook strengths with QTech's skills in aggregation and localization to create more competitive and customized betting experiences for customers. Philip Doftvik, Chief Executive Officer at QTech Games, commented: “We are thrilled to incorporate BETBY's acclaimed sportsbook into our platform. “Their product is contemporary, adaptable, and built for rapidly expanding markets, which matches the needs of our operator partners. “From AI-based tools to an extensive e-sims portfolio, BETBY introduces a degree of innovation that enhances our content and furthers our goal of providing the top-tier content in emerging iGaming markets.” BETBY expansion builds on positive 2026 start As previously noted, BETBY is already active in Latin America and Africa, having recently strengthened its Latin American operations by hiring Gonzalo Navarro as Senior Business Development Manager. The company also announced an unprecedented performance in March 2026, contributing to a first quarter that experienced a 61% year-on-year increase in gross gaming revenue. The firm also moved into the predictions market in April, while clarifying its plan to steer clear of the more contentious markets that have recently troubled the industry. With numerous global initiatives already underway in 2026, the company appears ready to fully engage with the iGaming sector's busy schedule ahead. This article is provided by a third-party.

Gambling Commission Confident Council Powers for Licensing Will Become Law
(AsiaGameHub) - Ian Angus, Policy Director for the UK’s Gambling Commission, is optimistic that the government’s efforts to grant lower-tier authorities greater authority over gambling licensing will be enshrined in law. Speaking at this week’s Institute of Licensing Gambling Conference, the senior regulator addressed amendments to the English Devolution and Community Empowerment Bill that were passed by the House of Lords last month. Should the bill then receive approval from the House of Commons, it will modify the 2005 Gambling Act to introduce a new resource for local councils: Gambling Impact Assessments (GIAs). Local authorities can use these assessments to measure the scale of gambling-related harm and the possible effect a new betting or gaming site might have on the local area, before using that data as justification to reject a licensing request. This would represent a major departure from the long-established ‘Aim to Permit’ regulation. “The government has, naturally, committed to exploring ways to grant local authorities the ability to conduct gambling impact assessments when considering licensing decisions for the communities you serve,” Angus stated. “For our part, the Gambling Act review proposed new powers for the Commission to crack down on online illegal gambling. Both of these measures have been progressing through Parliament recently via separate pieces of legislation, and we anticipate they will both be passed into law. “Once the bill has finished moving through Parliament and comes into force, the Commission will collaborate with DCMS to create guidance for licensing bodies and other interested parties on how to roll out the measures. This guidance will outline how to use solid evidence to support productive consultations with communities, operators and stakeholders before any GIA is put in place.” The House of Lords’ approval of amendment 305 to the devolution bill last month was a major victory for local councils. Put simply, a great many local councillors – and a significant number of MPs as well – have grown frustrated with the gambling sector. Dawn Butler, the Labour MP for London’s Brent East constituency, has been especially outspoken in demanding that the Aim to Permit mandate be reversed. Her campaign for local councils to be granted greater powers has won backing from other Labour figures, including longstanding gambling reform campaigner Alex Ballinger and Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham. Last September, Prime Minister Kier Starmer took on board Butler’s concerns, stating that the government would “grant councils greater authority over where gambling outlets are located and how many can operate in an area”. The government is now following through on that pledge. Commission outlines £26m funding plan to target black market activity The UK gambling industry has been subject to intense scrutiny over recent years, spanning the 2020 to 2023 Gambling Act review, the subsequent rollout of the review’s recommendations, and last year’s debates over taxation of the sector. Worries raised by figures such as Butler and Hannah Spencer, the newly elected Green Party MP for Manchester’s Gorton and Denton constituency, that the sector causes significant harm to low-income communities, are widely held across the UK. When faced with demands for stricter regulation and higher taxes, the gambling industry has frequently highlighted the presence of an unlicensed black market. This argument has not always gone down well with MPs, many of whom have publicly queried how large the black market actually is. To give bookmakers and casinos their due, however, this argument has been accepted by the Department for Media, Culture and Sport (DCMS) and the Gambling Commission. The DCMS has set up a dedicated task force focused on cracking down on the illegal gambling market, and is currently running a consultation on banning unlicensed betting companies from sponsoring sports teams. For its part, the Commission will receive an extra £26m in funding over the coming three years, raised via the new gambling tax system that came into force on 1 April 2026. This entire £26m pot will be used exclusively to combat illegal gambling activity. “We are delighted that the success of our work to tackle illegal gambling has been acknowledged by the Treasury in this manner, and this funding will absolutely enable us to expand the scope of our operations,” Angus commented. “One less widely discussed measure that is nonetheless highly relevant for local authorities is that this funding will, for the first time, let us invest more specifically in tackling land-based illegal gambling. “We have always been somewhat limited by our available resources in this area, but this funding now means we are able to carry out far more work on land-based illegal gambling than we previously could. We will still need to collaborate closely with all of you and with local police forces, but this funding will let us deliver far more in this space.” Commission anticipates gambling venue closures Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, first unveiled the new gambling tax framework in the November Budget. As of 1 April 2026, Remote Gaming Duty has increased from 21% to 40%, while bingo duty has been scrapped entirely. From April 2027, General Betting Duty will rise from 15% to 25%, with exemptions for retail betting, spread betting, pool betting and horse racing wagers. HM Treasury forecasts that the new tax system will bring in an extra £1bn per year by 2029/30, and intends to use this revenue to cover the cost of the recent removal of the two-child benefit cap. For the Gambling Commission, this tax change is the source of the extra £26m in funding outlined earlier. For the gambling industry, however, these tax changes represent a significant financial burden. Shortly after the Autumn Budget was announced, major listed firms including Flutter Entertainment, Evoke and Entain confirmed they would be reducing their marketing budgets, a process that is already well advanced. While retail betting is exempt from the tax rises, a knock-on impact is still expected for the high street. Retail betting has been seeing a steady decline over recent years, meaning that venue closures such as those confirmed by William Hill’s owner Evoke yesterday were already likely to happen regardless of the new tax rules. Against the backdrop of these recent announcements, Angus stated that the Commission is “now anticipating that a number of gambling venues will close”. He added that the regulator’s operational returns data “will likely reflect these closures over the next 12 to 18 months”. “2026 brings a shifting landscape, but change has always been a constant in the gambling sector to some degree,” he concluded. “At the Gambling Commission, we will keep working with our partners where we have aligned objectives. We remain dedicated to that collaborative approach, and no matter what else changes in the sector, that commitment will stay the same.” This article is provided by a third-party.

Representatives from More Than 40 Countries Discuss New Models of Global Growth in Moscow
Moscow, Russia – May 01, 2026 – (SeaPRwire) – The 2nd Open Dialogue “The Future of the World: A New Platform for Global Growth” took place in Russia, bringing together experts and young researchers from more than 40 countries who proposed ideas on the development of the economy, technology, education, and the environment. The key unifying principle of the event was a focus on people, international cooperation, and the search for new models of global growth through dialogue and the practical implementation of ideas. The large-scale three-day program at the Russia National Centre has concluded, combining expert discussions, presentations by authors of the best essays from around the world, and informal communication with experts. According to the official remarks, the Open Dialogue has achieved a global footprint that covers the entire planet. “Experts, business leaders, and researchers from 120 countries took part in the essay and creative works competition, including representatives from Asia, Africa, the Middle East, Europe, Australia, North and South America. All authors and researchers, with diverse experiences and perspectives, were united by a strong and bold idea: to form a shared understanding of the future — the future of a world entering an era of profound structural change. It is evident that no country can develop in isolation, at the expense of other states or to their detriment. Furthermore, modern global challenges require a joint response and collective efforts. This means that the model of global development will be sustainable and fair only if it is based on the principles of equality and mutual respect, and takes into account the interests of all countries,” the honorary guest of the event stated. According to the Russian leader, a multipolar architecture of global development is being formed before our eyes. Within it, an important role is played by states that understand and value national sovereignty. The results of the large-scale event were summarized by Russian economist Maxim Oreshkin: “Russia, in a number of areas, is an advanced country in terms of the development of digital platform solutions. Our approach is one of joint development. When Russian digital platforms enter other countries’ markets, they bring data localization, local partner involvement, training for local personnel, and the development of their own competencies in platform solution development. Russia comes to develop together, not to collect colonial rent from countries that lack access to technological solutions. We are in favor of developing together.” Maxim Oreshkin noted that the reach of the Open Dialogue will continue to grow each year. According to him, significant attention is being paid to the stage of implementing the ideas proposed in the essays. A mentorship format has been introduced — Russian businesses and international companies are beginning to work with essayists, involve them in their projects, and help bring their ideas to life. At the 2nd Open Dialogue, the best essay authors were identified in four areas: “Investing in People,” “Investing in Connectivity,” “Investing in Technology,” and “Investing in the Environment.” The winner in the “Investing in Technology” track was Aya Arfaoui, a student of Mohammed V University in Rabat, Morocco. She raised the issue of the digital sovereignty of developing countries. According to her, international institutions do not provide sufficient influence in regulating the digital space. Solomon Gardie, a postgraduate student at Addis Ababa University in Ethiopia, became the winner in the “Investing in Connectivity” track. His essay focused on connectivity and the mobility of sovereign data. He proposed a system in which data is processed and anonymized before cross-border transfer, and only in this form can it be used for the common good. He also noted that, within cooperation in the BRICS+ framework, one of the first areas could be healthcare, particularly epidemiological monitoring and disease control. In the “Investing in the Environment” track, the winner was Soumya Bhowmick, a research fellow at the Observer Research Foundation (India). In his presentation, he stated that for almost 100 years, the world has focused on measuring GDP, which does not reflect a country’s real wealth. The winner of the “Investing in People” track was Lubinda Haabazoka from Zambia. In his speech, he noted that for real convergence among countries of the Global South, not only declarations of multipolarity are needed, but also practical changes in key systems of interaction — primarily in education, which directly affects opportunities for cooperation and knowledge exchange. The future should be built around the individual, their health, agency, and a long, meaningful life, rather than around technologies and outdated systems, believes Dr. Selina Neri, co-founder, CEO, and dean of Future Readiness Academy (UAE), and an expert of the 2nd Open Dialogue in the “Investing in People” track. According to her, this requires new approaches to education, work, and technology development that focus on human flourishing, sovereignty, and the practical implementation of ideas rather than copying ineffective models. More than 1,600 authors from all continents submitted their works to participate in the 2nd Open Dialogue. Seventy-five essay authors hold academic degrees. The conclusions drawn from the discussions will be reviewed at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum and will be reflected in its business program. Essayists and experts will also be engaged in activities within the BRICS platform and involved in preparations for the Russia–Africa Summit.

World Cup 2026: Crucial Sportsbook Performance and Stability
(AsiaGameHub) - As the 2026 FIFA World Cup rapidly approaches, betting operators throughout Latin America are bracing for a significant increase in activity that will challenge all aspects of their operations. This tournament is much more than a temporary demand spike; it serves as a crucial test for sportsbook functionality, regulatory compliance, and the stability of their platforms. Leading industry professionals from across Latin America participated in a recent SBC webinar to explore the obstacles and prospects that sportsbooks will encounter during a massive summer of sports, which could also trigger an industry surge in the host countries. Up-and-comer Mexico to shine? While a potential industry boom in the US has been a frequent topic, Carolina Diniz Flauzino, Business Development Manager at SOFTSWISS, highlighted that Mexico could experience comparable growth. She stated: “This year I see, even from the business side, a lot of interesting movements in Mexico. “I think Mexico is going to be the next up-and-coming country globally that will boom this year and in the next few years, considering that physical operators are going to join the online casinos. For us, it’s a target market and it’s very relevant given that Mexico is hosting the World Cup this summer as it’s going to bring a lot of new attention. “Hopefully, we will see more operators interested in our business and in our solutions, helping to increase our activity in Mexico too.” Customer retention is key – but how will businesses achieve it? A major question emerging in the sector is how companies—both operators and suppliers—will manage to keep the flood of new customers that will undoubtedly arrive during the World Cup. For Fellipe Fraga, Chief Business Officer at Stellar Gaming, this is a familiar scenario. “We’ve seen this before in previous World Cups and also in tournaments like the Copa America, so of course we are expecting an uplift. “How we can measure retention is, as a data-driving company, by collecting data. It’s all about data analytics.” Bruno Palumbo, Country Manager, Brazil at Gamewiz, added: “Here at Gamewiz, in terms of uplift, as a benchmark we are expecting at least 30% more volume than a usual major domestic tournament. “For retention, as Fellipe said, it’s data. You need to monitor if your regular casino players are coming to the sportsbook because of the World Cup, and it’s the same with new players – how are they playing and what are the patterns? “Having the data, studying the data, is a good measurement. I could name at least 100 different strategies on how to retain new users. “On a main level, we should just work very hard on the CRM – what are these users doing when they’re on your site? The main strategy is finding out what customers really like about your website and how to keep them doing this.” The fear of World Cup outages When asked by SBC Noticias’ Business Journalist Damian Martinez about the impact of outages during critical moments, Fraga noted: “If you have something like this, it can be a huge problem. Players can feel like they’re being scammed. “These big moments happen a lot, especially during the World Cup, so providers must be aware that this cannot happen. “If it’s the last five minutes of a big game and you have no odds, or wrongly-balanced odds, yes you can void bets and dive into T&C’s, but it’s a hugely damaging situation for a brand’s image.” Flauzino recalled her early career, when the introduction of VAR created significant issues for businesses during important matches. “This is the World Cup, we’re now aware that these kinds of situations are going to happen all the time,” she said. “It’s very important for operators to be aware of it and really train their teams. For this period, you really need to be stable and keep your customers happy so that you’re not damaging the image of the brand.” Customer satisfaction is set to be a primary KPI for operators as they enter a period of intense activity, with the 2026 World Cup expected to drive significant advancements in the iGaming industry.
