德米斯·哈萨比斯

(SeaPRwire) - 当德米斯·哈萨比斯于 2010 年共同创立 DeepMind 时,他制定了一个为期 20 年的计划,最终目标是创造通用人工智能 (AGI),这是一种能够执行人类几乎所有认知任务的 AI 系统。14 年过去了,哈萨比斯认为一切都在正轨上。 “我相信 [AI] 将成为有史以来最具益处的技术,但这只有在我们将它应用于正确的方式并以正确的方式构建时才会实现。”他今年早些时候在由支付平台 Stripe 主办的活动中表示。 自 2014 年被收购以来,该实验室被称为 Google DeepMind,取得了许多成功,包括开创“深度强化学习”,设计出在棋盘游戏“围棋”中击败人类最佳棋手的系统,以及解决蛋白质折叠问题,以帮助科学家设计新药和了解疾病。 在过去的一年里,该实验室发布了自己的 LLM,; 更新了他们 的模型,以预测 DNA 和 RNA 等生物分子的结构和相互作用; 并开发了模型,这些模型 达到国际数学奥林匹克竞赛银牌得主的水平; 以及其他成就。 他们的下一个重大发布,“”,被宣传为“通用 AI 代理”,可以实时处理文本、音频和视频,自然地响应几乎任何查询。其演示视频展示了一位女士对着她面前白板上的问题与之交谈,然后询问系统是否知道她的眼镜在哪里——它找到了。 哈萨比斯解释说,随着 DeepMind 的研究“日益成熟”,它将能够开发“以 AI 为先的产品”,这些产品可以集成到 Google 的各种产品中,例如 YouTube、Chrome 和 Android。先进的系统可以很快为普通用户所用。 在与 TIME 的谈话中,哈萨比斯解释说,虽然 Astra 是通往 AGI 的一条令人兴奋的道路,但可能还需要进一步的突破才能创建一个能够例如“提出新的物理学理论”的系统。 在反思未来的系统如何改变人际关系时,哈萨比斯说:“我认为将发生一些我们今天可能无法想象的事情。并且希望大多数都是好的——但我们需要对此保持关注并作为社会讨论我们希望它如何发展。我们如何部署这些系统以及如何使用它们真的非常重要。因此,我们将尽力为之树立良好的榜样。”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。

美国失业金申请人数下降,裁员仍处于历史低位 Finance

美国失业金申请人数下降,裁员仍处于历史低位

(SeaPRwire) - 尽管经济整体存在担忧,但美国劳动力市场继续显示出韧性,最新数据显示失业金申请人数略有下降。根据美国劳工部的数据,截至 8 月 31 日当周,美国首次申领失业金人数下降 5,000 人,至 227,000 人,低于分析师预期 230,000 人。这些数据表明,即使其他迹象表明劳动力市场正在降温,但裁员人数仍然相对较低。但这趋势对经济和工人意味着什么呢? 失业金申领人数仍处于历史低位 美国劳动力市场裁员情况的主要指标——每周失业金申领人数,按历史标准衡量,仍然处于低位。尽管人们担心经济放缓和就业市场收紧,但美国经济已成功避免了大规模裁员。 过去四周失业金申领人数的平均值(可以消除周与周之间的波动)下降了 1,750 人,至 230,000 人。该数据被认为是劳动力市场现状的更稳定指标,表明尽管经济逆风,但对工人的需求仍然强劲。 经济担忧加剧之际,劳动力市场显示韧性 虽然一些行业,特别是科技和金融行业,在最近几个月出现裁员,但整体劳动力市场仍然紧张。雇主留住了他们的员工,这反映出医疗保健、酒店和建筑等许多行业对人才的需求持续强劲。 此外,领取失业救济金的美国人总数,也称为持续申领人数,在截至 8 月 24 日当周下降了 22,000 人,至 184 万人。持续申领人数的下降表明人们正在相对迅速地找到工作,这支持了劳动力市场仍然健康的说法。 然而,即使失业金申领人数保持低位,也不能忽视经济降温的迹象。美联储为抑制通货膨胀而采取的激进加息措施引发了人们对经济增长放缓的担忧,这可能会导致未来几个月招聘活动大幅放缓。 数字对工人和雇主意味着什么 对工人来说,美国失业金申领人数的当前趋势总体上是积极的。低失业金申领人数表明企业没有采取大规模裁员措施,这意味着大多数人的工作保障仍然完好无损。被解雇的工人似乎能够相对迅速地找到新工作,这一点可以从持续申领人数下降得到证明。 对于雇主来说,这些数字反映出他们正在努力填补职位。由于失业率仍然很低,某些行业的企业仍然发现很难吸引和留住员工。这种动态可能迫使雇主提高工资或改善福利以吸引人才,这可能会给利润率带来额外压力,特别是对于低利润率行业的企业来说。 未来展望:失业金申领人数会保持低位吗? 虽然美国失业金申领人数的现状令人鼓舞,但劳动力市场的未来仍然不确定。美联储致力于通过加息来抑制通货膨胀,这最终可能会对企业造成负面影响,可能导致更多裁员。此外,对经济状况敏感的行业,如制造业和建筑业,如果经济萎缩,可能会出现招聘放缓。 尽管如此,许多经济学家认为,美国劳动力市场表现出非凡的韧性,即使消费支出和工业生产等其他经济健康指标有所下降。这种韧性在很大程度上归因于许多企业仍在从疫情期间出现的劳动力短缺中恢复,并且他们不愿解雇员工,因为他们担心无法轻松地重新雇用员工。 结论:劳动力市场稳定,未来充满谨慎 美国失业金申领人数最近下降,突显了劳动力市场在经济放缓的担忧中仍然保持稳定。虽然裁员人数仍然处于历史低位,但加息和潜在经济挑战的影响不可忽视。目前,工人可以从工作保障似乎仍然坚挺的事实中获得安慰,但随着我们进入今年下半年,可能需要谨慎行事。 另一方面,雇主必须继续应对紧张的劳动力市场的复杂性,同时为经济状况可能发生的变化做好准备。这种趋势是否会持续下去将取决于企业和工人如何适应不断变化的经济环境。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。

标普 500 指数可能上涨 5%:分析师预测 Finance

标普 500 指数可能上涨 5%:分析师预测

(SeaPRwire) - 随着2023年市场动态不断发展,分析师们密切关注着标普500指数,预测其可能上涨5%。这一乐观预测受到多个因素的推动,包括经济指标、企业盈利和投资者情绪。 从历史上看,标普500指数一直是美国经济整体健康状况的风向标。近期数据表明,经济增长可能比之前预期更具韧性。例如,消费者支出依然强劲,失业率接近历史低点。这些因素为股市带来了积极前景。 此外,企业盈利表现强劲,许多公司公布的业绩好于预期。例如,微软 (NASDAQ:MSFT) 和苹果 (NASDAQ:AAPL) 等科技巨头发布了强劲的季度盈利,提振了投资者信心。这些科技巨头的表现往往是衡量更广泛市场走势的晴雨表。 另一个关键因素是美联储的货币政策。央行对利率和资产购买的决定对市场情绪有重大影响。目前,美联储的立场似乎略显鸽派,有迹象表明加息步伐可能比最初预期更缓慢。这对包括标普500指数在内的股市提供了利好。 投资者情绪也对市场走势起着至关重要的作用。近期调查显示,投资者信心正在上升,这得益于强劲的经济数据和企业盈利。这种信心增强反映在资金流入股市,进一步支持了看涨前景。 然而,必须考虑可能破坏这一积极预测的潜在风险。地缘政治紧张局势、供应链中断和通货膨胀压力是一些可能影响市场表现的不确定因素。分析师提醒,虽然前景乐观,但投资者应保持警惕,并为潜在的波动做好准备。 总之,标普500指数潜在的5%上涨得益于强劲的经济指标、稳健的企业盈利、支持性的货币政策环境和不断上升的投资者信心。虽然仍存在风险,但总体情绪乐观,表明市场在未来几个月可能继续上涨。 脚注: 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。 脚注文字带有真实的超链接。 .

Betting Big on Content: CMGE Steers Through Industry Waves with Robust Lineup

HONG KONG, Sept 5, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The success of Black Myth: Wukong, a game steeped in the Chinese cultural aesthetics, is underscoring the vast potential for top-tier IP games from China and igniting confidence for developing high-quality products with global appeal.At a recent interim results briefing, CMGE (0302.HK) management noted that “The success of games like Black Myth: Wukong, Wuthering Waves, and Zenless Zone Zero has reinforced our commitment to producing cross-platform blockbusters under the strategy of self-development, proprietary IP operation, and self-publishing.”As the Chinese game tycoon with the largest IP portfolio, CMGE is doubling down on leveraging major IPs like Legend of Sword and Fairy and One Piece. With a strong focus on technological innovation, CMGE aims to deliver high-quality, long-lifecycle games that redefine the revenue patterns and outlive industry cycle.Traveling Light: Lean Operations Drive Steady ProfitsOn August 28, CMGE unveiled its financial results for the first half of 2024, reporting a total revenue of RMB 1.23 billion, including 14.3% from overseas operations, and an adjusted net loss of RMB 208 million.The first half of 2024 saw severe challenges and volatility across the game industry. In response, CMGE adopted a more prudent financial approach by accounting for impairments on certain investments, write-downs on prepayments for unlaunched games, and adjustments to non-operating financial assets.Through this adjustment, CMGE expects to “travel light and pave the way for future profitability. It also shows CMGE’s ongoing commitment to developing premium games anchored by strong IPs.Despite industry turbulence, CMGE’s core operations have remained profitable throughout the first half of 2024, thanks to its sharp focus on an IP-driven strategy that continuously strengthens player viscosity. Impressive key operational metrics include 14.392 million MAUs, 47.297 million new registrations, and 1.027 million monthly paying users contributing an ARPPU of 200.2 yuan.By business segment, publishing was a big revenue driver, generating 1 billion yuan in the first half of 2024. Soul Land: Shrek Academy topped the Apple Store’s free games chart within a month of its debut in January, pulling in a monthly revenue of over 100 million yuan. Fights Break Firmament: Peak Confrontation secured the second spot on the chart within a month of its debut in June, setting the stage for further growth in the second half of the year.CMGE has made remarkable strides in global expansion, raking in 176 million yuan from overseas publishing, a year-on-year increase of 41.5%. A major contributor to this growth was the release of Legend of Sword and Fairy: Wen Qing an RPG card game based on the popular Legend of Sword and Fairy IP. Launched in December 2023 across Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan, the game soared to the top of the Apple App Store’s free charts in all three regions, showcasing the lasting popularity of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series among Chinese-speaking players.On the R&D front, CMGE reported an R&D revenue of 126 million yuan and an R&D investment of 110 million yuan in the first half of the year. Notably, R&D expenses dropped by 58.71% compared to the same period last year, thanks to the integration of AIGC into game development, which raised efficiency and reduced costs. Meanwhile, CMGE’s highly anticipated Sword and Fairy World is already under final test. Reductions in design and development costs inspire a more optimistic outlook on future profitability.CMGE is intensifying its focus on the Legend of Sword and Fairy IP, strategically extending its influence into film, animation, and merchandise. This multi-faceted approach has consistently unlocked new revenue streams, enhancing the brand’s value and market presence. In the first half of this year, CMGE’s IP licensing revenue surged to 107 million yuan, marking a substantial 79% year-over-year growth. This impressive performance stems from a series of high-profile adaptations of the Legend of Sword and Fairy series, including Sword and Fairy 4, a TV series produced in collaboration with iQiyi; Sword and Fairy, a TV drama based on Sword and Fairy 6 and developed alongside Shandong Film and TV; and The Return of Xiaoyao, a reinterpretation of Legend of Sword and Fairy coproduced with Tencent Video. These adaptations have not only captivated audiences but also garnered critical acclaim, further solidifying the franchise’s stronghold in the market.Leveraging its premier IP assets, CMGE has maintained steady growth while strategically streamlining its balance sheet through accounting impairments. This positions the company for renewed momentum in the competitive game industry.All About the Game: Chinese-Inspired Sword and Fairy World Gears Up for LaunchFor CMGE, thriving in shifting market cycles isn’t about short-term wins but about building long-term capabilities. The company’s “product-first” philosophy centers on delivering high-quality games based on top-tier IPs, helping it stand out in a crowded market and avoid the pitfalls of low-quality saturation. As CMGE Chairman Xiao Jian recently stated, “IP is more than just a cultural symbol—it’s a value system and almost a belief. In fact, it has become the cornerstone for creating competitive barriers in the game industry.”A key example of this strategy is Sword and Fairy World, an open-world RPG rooted in the iconic Legend of Sword and Fairy IP. After more than three years of dedicated endeavor, the game has successfully secured licenses for both PC and mobile platforms, showcasing CMGE’s commitment to excellence.Sword and Fairy World, a game derived from one of China’s most cherished IPs, features a vast and immersive open-world experience. Spanning 384 square kilometers, the game is rich in traditional Chinese cultural elements, allowing players to explore breathtaking landscapes—from the picturesque scenery of Jiangnan to the majestic peaks of Mount Shu and the mysterious miao regions. As Chinese cultural themes gain traction in gaming, insiders suggest that Sword and Fairy World has a chance of becoming a major hit, potentially rivaling titles like Black Myth: Wukong.CMGE also employs immense efforts in elevating gameplay, doing all out to create a top-tier open-world RPG. On the one hand, it gives the best play to the cultural connotation of its IPs and keeps adding contents. On the other hand, it also invents new ways of gameplay, having introduced a unique pet collection system inspired by Chinese mythology and fantasy to innovate core gameplay. CMGE continues to upgrade visual fidelity and environmental realism to deliver a more immersive interaction and create a comprehensive, next-level player experience that resonates with both domestic and global audiences.CMGE is setting a new standard for player immersion by integrating AI-driven NPCs into its upcoming games. These NPCs will react to the environment and engage in conversations that mirror real-world interactions, creating a vibrant, lifelike social ecosystem within the game. Players will also have access to advanced AI-powered customization tools, including facial recognition and voice modulation, allowing for more personalized expressions and interactions and sparking players’ creativity in the virtual world.Building on the success of the renowned Legend of Sword and Fairy IP, Sword and Fairy World has repeatedly ranked among the “Most Anticipated Games” of 2024. Having successfully passed the first three tests, the game is nearing its final test before a full release later this year. The number of pre-registrations is already approaching 5 million and could surpass 10 million by the time of debut.CMGE’s focus on IP-driven, premium games is paying off handsomely. By capitalizing on the popular Legend of Sword and Fairy IP and potential video and animated adaptations, CMGE is successfully broadening its audience base, enhancing user viscosity and lowering customer acquisition costs. This strategy positions the company for sustained profitability. A cornerstone of CMGE’s approach is its emphasis on open-world games, a growing industry trend that greatly increases user capacity and game lifecycle. Openness and creativity are set to drive higher player engagement and LTV. The eagerly awaited Sword and Fairy World, CMGE’s upcoming open-world title, will be available across multiple platforms, with the PC version projected to achieve a gross margin near 70%.Industry analysts forecast that the launch of Sword and Fairy World will notably increase the share of long-cycle products in CMGE’s lineup. This not only highlights the lasting value of the Legend of Sword and Fairy IP, but also redefines the traditional profitability trajectory for games, paving the way for sustained, high-revenue growth. With this forward-thinking strategy, CMGE is primed for enhanced profitability and long-term financial success.Growth on the Horizon: CMGE’s Strong Pipeline Set to Fuel ExpansionCMGE is ramping up its global expansion and refining its product lineup to bolster the stability and predictability of its long-term growth. With an impressive slate of titles set for the second half of 2024, CMGE is gearing up to enhance its performance reliability.In the second half of 2024, CMGE’s publishing division will make a significant impact with a series of high-profile IP-based game launches. Key upcoming titles include Soul Land: Space and Time Reversal , Daily Life of Chat Group, Naruto: Konoha Masters, New Romance of the Three Kingdoms: The Legend of Cao Cao, Country Love: Business Life , Chunqiu Mystery, and the casual mini-game Sanqian Huanshi. The recent launch of Soul Land: Shrek Academy in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan on August 22, 2024, soared to the top of the Apple App Store’s free charts in all three regions during its debut week. Looking ahead, CMGE is planning to release Smash and Code: FA in Hong Kong, Macau, and Taiwan and bring Dynasty Warriors: Hegemony to the Japanese market in the second half of the year. With these strategic moves, CMGE aims to solidify its position and drive continued growth across key global regions.CMGE is betting big on its internal development to fuel growth in the second half of the year. Leading the charge are key titles including Sword and Fairy World and World of Castellan , which will benefit from expanded promotional efforts, alongside a new installment in the iconic franchise, Code: Dark Night Legend. These self-developed games are expected to make a substantial impact on the company’s overall performance.“Strategy is not predicting the future. Instead, it’s about making decisions today to be ready for an uncertain tomorrow,” analysts emphasize, channeling Peter F. Drucker’s wisdom. CMGE exemplifies this with a robust IP-driven, product-first strategy. By honing in on high-quality game development, the company is building a unique competitive moat to secure long-term stability and eventually outlive industry cycle.For further information, please contact:PEANUT MEDIA LIMITEDDirect Line: +86-755-61619798 x8210Email: hswh.project@czgmcn.com Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Moolec Confirms US Harvest and Promising Yields for Plant-Grown Products GLASO(TM) and Piggy Sooy(TM) in October

Luxembourg, Sept 5, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Moolec Science SA (NASDAQ:MLEC) ("The Company", "Moolec"), a science-based food ingredient company, announced today the harvest confirmation of US campaigns for genetically engineered plant-grown products GLASO™ and Piggy Sooy™ during October 2024.GLASO™ and Piggy Sooy™ US Harvest AnnouncementGLASO™ (gamma-linolenic acid -GLA- in safflower oil) campaign located in Idaho consists of 600 planted acres of genetically modified safflower, mainly for commercial purposes. As a result of the harvest, Moolec is expecting to produce between 300 to 400 tons of safflower seeds that contain high levels of GLA. To allocate most of the upcoming GLASO™ production, Moolec has secured an offtake agreement with a major global CPG company, targeting the US market in 2025. Following a successful and rigorous audit from Moolec's CPG customer, production is set to begin in late 2024.The Company is also developing a broader commercial strategy to reach larger markets and clients. Moolec's GLASO™ product contains almost 3 times more GLA than conventional sources such as borage and primrose oil, making it the most concentrated GLA oil available on the market.Piggy Sooy™ (porcine myoglobin in soybean seeds) field trials are being carried out in 3 different US locations: Ohio, Missouri and Iowa. Main purposes for the campaign are product development (sampling), seed increase and gathering of environmental and regulatory data to continue Moolec's US-FDA approval pathway. The Team also projects a remarkable first open field performance for its bioengineered soybean Piggy Sooy™ after recent approval for cultivation from USDA-APHIS. This has set an unprecedented milestone in biotechnology last April, with Moolec becoming the first Molecular Farming company to obtain this kind of clearance for food crops growing animal proteins in US territory.Chief Technology Officer and Co-Founder Martín Salinas stated: "Our commitment to scaling Moolec's Molecular Farming Technology is demonstrated by our GLASO™ campaign and the field trials of Piggy Sooy™. These efforts not only reinforce our position as pioneers in the industry but also lay the foundation for sustainable solutions in agriculture and biotechnology." He then finished by remarking: "One acre of Piggy Sooy™ could potentially produce pork meat proteins equivalent to 10 pigs, reducing water footprint, land usage and CO2 emissions. This is a clear demonstration on how we promote environmental improvements throughout all our operations. Our aim is to heal the meat production system."Contact InformationPress & Mediacomms@moolecscience.comInvestor Relationsir@moolecscience.comRelated FilesMoolec Confirms US Harvest And Promising Yields For Plant-Grown Products GLASO™ And Piggy Sooy™ In October - 2024.09.05SOURCE: Moolec Science Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

Hong Kong Services Sector Set for Mainland Sustainability Windfall ACN Newswire

Hong Kong Services Sector Set for Mainland Sustainability Windfall

HONG KONG, Sept 5, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - A new report has found that 99% of mainland-based businesses have made a commitment towards sustainable investment over the next three years. Hong Kong has emerged as their first choice for sourcing the necessary range of related professional services.The findings come as part of Seizing Opportunities in China’s Sustainable Investment, a joint research report published today by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) and the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).Hong Kong: Key facilitator of sustainable developmentThe report was compiled after the two organisations surveyed 283 companies on their medium-term sustainability objectives. The research programme, which also included in-depth interviews with key industry representatives, aimed to evaluate the progress made by China-based businesses, as they align themselves with the Central Government's environmental priorities and explore the possibilities offered by green financing.Commenting on the significance of the survey, Irina Fan, Director of HKTDC Research, said: ‘As Asia’s leading green finance hub, Hong Kong has the potential to make a significant and lasting impact on Mainland China’s move to an ever more sustainable and environmentally friendly future.’‘With the city’s own progress to establishing itself as an international green finance and technology centre gathering pace, it is gratifying to see that its success to date is being widely recognised across the mainland. This vote of confidence confirms we are on the right trajectory to work with businesses throughout the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area (GBA), within China as a whole and along the Belt and Road countries/economies.’Christina So, Head of ACCA Hong Kong and GBA Lead, said: ‘This study has delivered invaluable insights into the evolution of sustainable business practices in China, making it an essential reference tool for anyone looking to explore business opportunities throughout the country. It also underscores the need for a high standard of competence and a clear understanding of the sustainability agenda among finance and accounting professionals, something that we at ACCA are committed to delivering.’Healthy sustainable business practicesAnother key research finding was that the vast majority of survey participants are prioritising meeting the government’s policy objectives in the environmental impact space, especially with regard to substantially reducing carbon emissions.Many companies also highlighted other benefits of adopting greener business practices, including enhanced access to green finance and establishing positive brand values on an international basis.Barriers to sustainable investmentDespite the overwhelmingly upbeat sentiment with regard to adopting and implementing green protocols, many research respondents also reported ongoing challenges. These challenges are often slowing the rate at which agreed measures can be fully actioned. Chief among these concerns are cost pressures – cited by 82% of respondents – with an expectation that any return on investment in enhanced sustainability practices may not be evident in the short term.While many respondents were enthusiastic about exploring green financing, there was also uncertainty over how best to access these channels. Regardless of this, some 70% of respondents agreed that they were considering using a green financing channel to meet their future needs.Responding to the challenges facing the mainland business community, Wing Chu, Principal Economist of the HKTDC, said: ‘Despite the cost pressures highlighted, a major proportion of corporations is committed to investing in sustainability practices as a way to generate long-term value.’‘Interestingly, only a smaller fraction currently perceives the lack of knowledge and talent as challenges. However, they are keen on tapping into green financing to address their future needs. This approach is especially noteworthy, as numerous corporations are set to expand their investment in China and are committed to executing this growth sustainably.’Opportunities in green financingThe awareness of green financing options in China is still relatively low, with some 47%-56% of respondents indicating a lack of familiarity with many of the available options. Some 71% of respondents, however, maintained that they were willing to make wider use of green financing channels, including green loans and green bonds, while reducing their reliance on traditional financing options.Detailing how the local professional services sector has evolved to meet these challenges, Sam Chen, Regional Lead, Policy & Insights for ACCA China, said: ‘As businesses increasingly prioritise sustainable practices, understanding the local context and utilising green funding and technology has become crucial. There is now a wider understanding that a comprehensive approach to sustainability is essential, if businesses are to progress towards a more sustainable future, while continuing to deliver in value terms.’Respondents and interviewees for this research report were drawn from ACCA’s member community in China, which comprises finance professionals across a variety of key sectors, working at the forefront of an ever-changing business landscape.To further capture the green opportunities along the region, the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) and the HKTDC are organising the ninth edition of the Belt and Road Summit, which will be held at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre on 11-12 September.The event will gather green and ESG experts to facilitate knowledge exchange and cooperation on green development and sustainable finance, while showcasing Hong Kong's green industry capabilities globally. Under the theme of Building a Connected, Innovative and Green Belt and Road, there will be thematic breakout sessions on green development, infrastructure and financing.Seizing Opportunities in China’s Sustainable Investment (full report):https://research.hktdc.com/en/article/MTc5MTE4NzAzOQPhoto download: https://bit.ly/3z7laqvThe HKTDC and the ACCA today jointly released a research report entitled Seizing Opportunities in China’s Sustainable Investment.

With this solution, the two companies will drive AI innovation and help more businesses and organizations achieve faster AI-driven transformation.How the technology speeds up AI predictionsThe AI prediction acceleration solution integrated into Decanter AI includes three key features.(1) Data Verification and Anomaly Scoring:The input data are validated using Decanter AI’s processing technology to ensure accurate and efficient modeling. This scoring system flags the data as being either “Healthy”, “Moderate”, or “Critical” based on its integrity and relevance. This system ensures that the dataset is accurately evaluated for optimal use in analysis and modeling and will give suggestions on how to refine the data for better management.(2) Algorithm Recommendation System:The Algorithm Recommendation System based on Fujitsu Kozuchi AutoML technology suggests the most suitable machine learning models. This improves modeling efficiency and accuracy.(3) Deriving Actionable Insights through Feature Analysis:After the data are analyzed by the chosen machine learning models, Feature Analysis based on Wide Learning™ identifies key features and illustrates importance and relevance using weighted combinations. The identified features are then interpreted and summarized by a large language model and reported in natural language.The figure below illustrates Decanter AI being used to identify people who are likely to purchase car insurance. The data verification and anomaly scoring stage checks past purchase data for outliers and eliminates anomalous entries. The algorithm recommendation system suggests the most accurate model for predictions, in this case the random forest model. Finally, Feature Analysis technology ascertains the most important features for identifying individuals likely to purchase car insurance and adds weighted values. This analysis is then translated into natural language through a language learning model.Figure 1: An example of Decanter AI being used to predict car insurance purchasing behavior The incorporation of Fujitsu Kozuchi AutoML and Wide Learning™ into Decanter AI, enables the system to recommend an optimized machine learning model four times faster than was previously possible while maintaining accuracy.

美国指责俄罗斯在11月大选前散布虚假信息 Latest News

美国指责俄罗斯在11月大选前散布虚假信息

(SeaPRwire) - (华盛顿) — 拜登政府周三宣布了一系列广泛的行动,旨在揭露俄罗斯在 2024 年美国大选中的影响力,包括对两名俄罗斯国营媒体公司员工提出刑事指控,以及查封克里姆林宫用于传播虚假信息的互联网域名。 这些措施反映了美国政府试图破坏俄罗斯持续存在的威胁,美国官员长期以来一直警告说,这种威胁有可能在选民中制造不和谐和混乱。华盛顿表示,尽管联邦调查局正在调查伊朗对唐纳德·特朗普竞选活动的黑客攻击以及对乔·拜登-卡马拉·哈里斯总统竞选活动的破坏企图,但俄罗斯仍然是选举的主要威胁。 其中一起刑事案件指控两名 RT 公司的员工,该公司是一家由俄罗斯政府资助的媒体机构,曾被美国司法部认定为外国代理人,他们秘密资助了一家位于田纳西州的内容创作公司,发布了近 2000 个包含俄罗斯宣传内容的视频。被告仍然逍遥法外,他们使用了假身份,而这家公司并不知道自己被俄罗斯利用。 在另一项行动中,官员宣布查封了 32 个互联网域名,这些域名被克里姆林宫用来传播俄罗斯宣传,削弱全球对乌克兰的支持。 司法部长梅里克·加兰表示,这些行动与俄罗斯利用国家媒体招募不知情的美国网红传播宣传和虚假信息有关。 情报机构此前指控俄罗斯正在利用虚假信息试图干预选举。这些新举措表明了美国担忧的程度,并预示着将对涉嫌参与者采取法律行动。 “今天宣布的行动突出了某些外国政府为了破坏美国民主制度所采取的极端手段,”美国国务院表示。“但这些外国政府也应该知道,我们不会容忍外国恶意行为者有意干预和破坏自由和公平的选举。” 副司法部长丽莎·莫纳科上个月在一次演讲中表示,俄罗斯仍然是对选举完整性的最大威胁,她指责俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京及其“代理人”在干预行动中使用了越来越复杂的技术。他们正在针对特定的选民群体和摇摆州选民,企图操纵总统和大选结果。他们决心利用不知情的美国人在社交媒体上散布宣传,以推动有利于俄罗斯利益的叙述。” 围绕俄罗斯的许多担忧集中在旨在影响 11 月投票的网络攻击和虚假信息活动上。这些策略包括利用 RT 等国家媒体宣传反美信息和内容,以及使用假网站和社交媒体账户网络来放大这些说法并将它们注入美国人在线对话中。通常,这些网络会利用极具争议的政治话题,例如移民、犯罪或 。 在许多情况下,美国人可能不知道他们在网上看到的内容是起源于克里姆林宫还是被克里姆林宫放大。 “俄罗斯正在采取全政府的方式来影响选举,包括总统竞选,”国家情报总监办公室的一名官员今年夏天在一次简报中说。这名官员在与该办公室协商的规定下,要求匿名。 与克里姆林宫有关的团体越来越多地雇佣俄罗斯境内的营销和传播公司,将制造数字宣传的一些工作外包,同时掩盖自己的踪迹,官员们在与记者的简报中说。 两家这样的公司是今年 3 月美国宣布的新制裁的主题。当局说,这两家俄罗斯公司创建了假网站和社交媒体个人资料来传播克里姆林宫的虚假信息。 然而,最终目标是让美国人散布俄罗斯的虚假信息,而不质疑其来源。人们更有可能相信并转发他们认为来自国内来源的信息,官员们说。旨在模仿美国新闻媒体的假网站和人工智能生成的社交媒体个人资料只是两种方法。 俄罗斯大使馆留下的信息尚未得到立即回复。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。
