How Much Do Vegan Diets Improve the Health of Dogs?
WINCHESTER, ENGLAND, Sept 6, 2024 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Pet food consumes at least 9% of all livestock globally, rising to 20% in nations such as the US with high pet ownership. The environmental benefits of vegan pet diets were recently found to be game-changingly large. Most of these relate to dog food. But, can dogs be healthy without consuming meat?Dogs are biologically omnivores, and many companies now produce vegan dog food using plant, mineral and synthetic ingredients to supply all necessary nutrients. By 2024, 10 scientific studies had demonstrated good health outcomes in dogs fed vegan or vegetarian diets, and the British Veterinary Association had endorsed nutritionally-sound vegan dog diets. Yet no studies had calculated the size of the health benefits that might occur for average dogs, after controlling for age, sex, neutering status, breed size and exercise level - all factors that can affect dog health.In 2024 veterinary Professor Andrew Knight and two colleagues published the first study to control for all of these factors. After analysing health outcomes for 2,536 dogs, including 336 fed a vegan diet for at least one year, they found decreases in the occurrences of seven general indicators of illness. Dogs fed vegan diets were less likely to need medication, medical diets or unusually high numbers of veterinary visits, were more likely to be assessed as healthy by dog owners and their veterinarians, had lower rates of illness, and fewer cases of health disorders when they were unwell. Reductions ranged from 14% - 51% for average dogs, compared to dogs fed conventional meat-based diets. All of these differences were statistically significant, meaning they almost certainly reflected true differences rather than random variation.Additionally, the odds of suffering from six specific health disorders fell by 50%-61% compared to dogs fed conventional meat. These included some of the most common health disorders in dogs: problems with body weight, ears, and the musculoskeletal and gastrointestinal system - which can cause conditions such as lameness and diarrhoea.Among the 22 most common health disorders found in a 2022 study of the same dogs, 11 were most common in dogs fed conventional meat, eight in dogs fed raw meat, and three most common in dogs few vegan diets. 49% of dogs fed conventional meat were unwell, compared to 43% fed raw meat, and 36% fed vegan diets.Stated Prof. Knight, "Dogs fed vegan diets clearly had the best health outcomes in this very large-scale study, and these results are consistent with prior studies in this field. Nutritionally-sound vegan diets offer extremely large environmental benefits, so this is very good news for dog owners who want to protect the environment whilst also maximising their dogs' health. However, care should always be taken to ensure diets are nutritionally-sound, by checking package labelling and purchasing from reputable pet food companies."Contact InformationAndrew KnightVeterinary Professor of Animal Welfareandrew.knight@murdoch.edu.auSOURCE: Prof. Andrew Knight Copyright 2024 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
這是 ABC 總統辯論的規則
(SeaPRwire) - 副總統 和前總統 將於 9 月 10 日首次正面交鋒，兩位總統候選人將在總統大選前首次進行辯論。 這場 90 分鐘的辯論將由美國廣播公司新聞 (ABC News) 在費城國家憲法中心舉行，時間為美國東部時間晚上 9 點，形式將與 6 月川普與總統喬·拜登之間的辯論非常相似。兩位候選人將有兩分鐘的時間回答問題，並有兩分鐘的答辯時間，每位候選人還將有額外的一分鐘時間進行補充或澄清。將沒有現場觀眾，兩位候選人將全程站立進行辯論。 在川普暗示他可能退出，以及哈里斯的競選團隊尋求更改靜音麥克風規則後，這些條款已 。靜音麥克風只會在候選人輪流發言時開啟。兩位競選團隊於週三同意了美國廣播公司設定的辯論規則，為哈里斯和川普提供了一個關鍵的機會，讓他們在 11 月 5 日大選臨近之際，展示自己的政綱，並向選民發表意見。 兩位候選人在大多數關鍵的搖擺州民調中幾乎勢均力敵。週三發佈的 顯示，哈里斯在喬治亞州、密歇根州、內華達州和威斯康辛州僅略微領先川普，但差距仍在誤差範圍內，而川普在亞利桑那州領先 5 個百分點，兩位候選人在賓夕法尼亞州則打成平手。 上次總統辯論被證明是 2024 年選舉週期的一個重要轉折點，拜登表現不佳導致他 。他的退出為哈里斯鎖定民主黨提名鋪平了道路，為她對抗川普的競選塑造了新的局面。這位前總統 週三在福斯新聞的城鎮大會上表示，他在對抗哈里斯的辯論中，策略是「讓她說」，以及「在辯論進行中感受一下」。 兩位候選人尚未就第二次辯論達成一致，不過川普提議在 9 月 25 日於美國國家廣播公司 (NBC News) 舉行額外的一場辯論。 以下是 9 月 10 日辯論規則和預期的內容。 沒有現場觀眾 與 6 月的辯論一樣，川普與哈里斯的辯論將不會有現場觀眾，以盡可能減少辯論過程中的干擾。此舉與以往的活動有所不同，以往的活動通常會邀請觀眾，並指示觀眾在候選人發言時保持安靜。 這一規則的改變最初是由拜登的競選團隊提出的，他們在 5 月表示，辯論委員會的「以高昂的成本舉辦大型盛會，邀請大量觀眾的模式，根本沒有必要，也不利於進行良好的辯論」。 「辯論應該為美國選民舉辦，讓他們在電視和家中觀看——而不是為了讓現場的狂熱或具有破壞性的黨派人士和捐款者娛樂，他們會用喧鬧的讚賞或嘲弄的行為，浪費寶貴的辯論時間」，拜登的競選團隊當時說道。 靜音麥克風 與之前的辯論一樣，在整個辯論過程中，麥克風將被靜音，除了輪到候選人發言時，這是為了避免以往辯論中出現的干擾。 關於麥克風的僵持局面幾乎讓這場辯論泡湯，哈里斯的競選團隊呼籲取消麥克風靜音。川普表示，麥克風規則「對我來說並不重要」，他「可能更願意開啟麥克風，但（9 月 10 日辯論的）協議是採用與上次相同的形式」。 哈里斯的競選團隊最終同意了靜音麥克風規則，但在一封寫給美國廣播公司的信中表示，她「將會受到這種形式的根本不利影響，這將有助於保護唐納·川普免受副總統的直接交流」。 「儘管我們有這些擔憂，但我們理解，唐納·川普有跳過這場辯論的風險，正如他之前威脅的那樣，如果我們不接受他偏好的形式。我們不想危及這場辯論。出於這個原因，我們接受了美國廣播公司提出的所有規則，包括靜音麥克風」，這封信中說道。 然而，與拜登與川普的辯論不同，一群白宮記者將會在現場，聽到任何被屏蔽的發言，以便讓更廣大的電視觀眾收聽，根據 。 沒有開場白 與以往選舉週期的辯論不同，將不會有開場白。相反，每位候選人將在辯論結束時發表兩分鐘的結束陳述。辯論將從主持人介紹候選人開始，然後提出一個問題，每位候選人將有兩分鐘的時間回答。接下來是一分鐘的答辯和對答辯的回應。 哈里斯和川普將不被允許互相提問，美國廣播公司新聞表示，不會提前將任何主題或問題分享給競選團隊或候選人。這次辯論將由美國廣播公司的戴維·繆爾和林賽·戴維斯主持。 佈置 哈里斯和川普將在 90 分鐘的辯論過程中一直站在相同的講台上，美國廣播公司新聞在週二進行了一次虛擬的拋硬幣，以決定講台的擺放位置和結束陳述的順序。川普贏得了拋硬幣，並決定在結束陳述時最後發言，而哈里斯則選擇了螢幕上右側的講台位置。 每位候選人將會在台上提供一支筆、一個筆記本和一瓶水。不允許使用道具或書面筆記。 商業廣告插播 與 6 月的辯論類似，這場活動將在 90 分鐘的直播過程中插入兩次商業廣告——這與傳統的辯論有所不同。然而，競選團隊的工作人員將被禁止在這些插播期間與各自的候選人互動，這將使他們無法進行策略性協商，也無法整理候選人的外觀。 更多來自 TIME 本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

山姆·奧特曼
(SeaPRwire) - 去年對山姆·奧特曼來說是重要的一年。這位 OpenAI 首席執行長迅速竄紅，受到許多世界領袖邀請演講，個人財富也隨著 ChatGPT 的成功而暴漲。但在感恩節前夕，他的火箭引擎卻出現故障。OpenAI 的非營利董事會解雇了奧特曼，理由是他對他們不誠實。奧特曼最終化解了董事會的威脅，在感恩節那天坐下來享用家常素食義大利麵時，他已經回到領導職位。但對許多觀察家來說——如果不算他在矽谷的許多盟友——這些事件玷污了奧特曼的光輝一年。 2024 年，除了帶領 OpenAI 推出多款新產品，包括語音助理、合成影片生成器和 AI 搜索引擎外，奧特曼還繼續推進他的計畫，為 OpenAI 未來的發展鋪平道路。今年 2 月，有消息傳出他正在向投資者尋求高達 7 萬億美元的資金，以大膽地嘗試建立一家新的晶片製造商，生產製造尖端 AI 所需的晶片，企圖鬆動輝達在市場上的主導地位。7 月，他在華盛頓郵報上發表了一份宣言，主張為了讓民主國家在與威權主義的鬥爭中獲勝，他們必須提升網路安全、加強投資 AI 硬體，並與中國合作制定 AI 部署的全球規範。 但自從那個關鍵的感恩節以來，奧特曼的說法——他正在開發造福人類的 AI——一直受到越來越多的質疑。報紙 已經對他在 OpenAI 中的許多明顯利益衝突提出質疑。雖然奧特曼沒有持有任何股權，而且只領取微薄的薪水，但他作為私人投資者在 OpenAI 的許多合作夥伴和客戶中擁有大量股份。OpenAI 的幾位資深安全研究人員在最近幾個月內辭職，其中一人聲稱在奧特曼的領導下，安全已經「被光鮮亮麗的產品所取代」。該公司的總裁兼奧特曼的重要盟友格雷格·布羅克曼正在休長假，陪伴家人。而這位首席執行長也 因嚴格的保密協議而捲入爭議，這促使舉報人 對此展開調查。奧特曼在 X 上的發文中表示，他不知道一項禁止離職員工出售其有價值股權的免責條款，並補充說 OpenAI 從未，也永遠不會收回離職員工的已授予股權。 儘管面臨這些逆風，奧特曼似乎並沒有離開。在資深安全研究人員辭職後，OpenAI 成立了一個新的安全委員會，該委員會表示將評估和加強公司的現有措施。OpenAI 董事會的新任主席布雷特·泰勒為奧特曼辯護，反駁了關於利益衝突的指控，他說奧特曼的個人投資都已依據公司政策向董事會披露。在大部分時間裡，OpenAI 始終處於 AI 競賽的前沿，其最新的聊天機器人 GPT4-o 在本文撰寫時位居開源 的榜首。作為一名長期從事創業投資的投資人和偶爾的部落客，奧特曼喜歡分享一些智慧。他最喜歡的其中一句是：「成功的企業家在很大程度上取決於永不放棄。」 *披露：OpenAI 和 TIME 簽署了一項 協議，允許 OpenAI 訪問 TIME 的檔案。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。
能预防糖尿病的减肥药
(SeaPRwire) - 近年來大受歡迎的減肥藥，實際上最初都是糖尿病藥物，一項新的研究表明，這些藥物繼續為預防這種慢性疾病提供強大的保護。 Eli Lilly 是 tirzepatide 的生產商，他們將該藥物以 Mounjaro 的名稱銷售給糖尿病患者，以 Zepbound 的名稱銷售給減肥人士。他們最近表示，在對 tirzepatide 進行的最長時間研究中，與服用安慰劑的人相比，該藥物將患有糖尿病前期的人發展為糖尿病的風險降低了 94%。 這項研究對 1,000 多名超重或肥胖且患有糖尿病前期的人進行了近三年的跟踪。到研究結束時，與服用安慰劑的人相比，服用任何三種劑量藥物的人從研究開始時體重減輕了近 20%。與安慰劑相比，該藥物還導致從糖尿病前期發展為糖尿病的可能性降低了 94%。 Tirzepatide 靶向兩種與食慾和體重相關的激素：胰高血糖素樣肽-1（GLP-1）和葡萄糖依賴性胰島素促分泌肽（GIP）。對於糖尿病患者，這種每周注射一次的藥物有助於調節餐前和餐後血糖水平，並降低體重，從而調節血糖水平。研究表明，糖尿病風險較高的人可以使用該藥物更好地控制血糖代謝，從而避免患上這種疾病。 “目前我們沒有任何藥物被批准用於治療糖尿病前期，”紐約大學朗格尼健康中心的內分泌學臨床副教授 Michael Weintraub 博士說，他沒有參與這項研究。他說，這種藥物可以讓醫生更早地開始幫助有患糖尿病風險的患者，甚至可以幫助一些人避免這種慢性疾病以及通常伴隨而來的其他健康問題。“如果我們可以在更早的階段進行干預，並在肥胖導致 2 型糖尿病或其他併發症之前治療潛在的肥胖，那麼這將降低肥胖人群中第一號殺手——心血管疾病的總體風險。” 根據美國疾病控制與預防中心的數據，全美約有 1/3 的人患有糖尿病前期，而許多人甚至不知道自己的病況。雖然發病率有所不同，但每年約有 10% 的糖尿病前期患者會發展為糖尿病。患糖尿病的風險在超重或肥胖的人群中最高，而最新研究以這一人群為目標，表明藥物可以降低這種風險。 這些發現建立在 2022 年發表在《》雜誌上的一年跟踪研究結果的基礎上，該研究針對同一人群，主要關注體重減輕。但目前這項更長期的研究使醫生能夠跟踪患者的糖尿病發展軌跡。 Weintraub 說，tirzepatide 可能通過幾種方式幫助降低患糖尿病的可能性：控制體重，增加胰島素分泌以控制血糖，以及解決炎症問題，炎症會導致胰島素抵抗，並降低體內對血糖的有效控制。 醫生需要對患者需要服用該藥物多長時間以及延緩糖尿病的好處持續多長時間進行更多研究。在這項研究中，停止服用 tirzepatide 17 周的患者開始體重反彈，他們患糖尿病的風險略微降低，為 88%，而繼續服用該藥物的患者患糖尿病的風險降低了 94%。 雖然結果並不令人意外，但它們應該會給那些超重並渴望解決患糖尿病風險的人們更多信心。本文由第三方廠商內容提供者提供。SeaPRwire (https://www.seaprwire.com/)對此不作任何保證或陳述。 分類: 頭條新聞,日常新聞 SeaPRwire為公司和機構提供全球新聞稿發佈，覆蓋超過6,500個媒體庫、86,000名編輯和記者，以及350萬以上終端桌面和手機App。SeaPRwire支持英、日、德、韓、法、俄、印尼、馬來、越南、中文等多種語言新聞稿發佈。

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."

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.

Launch of IOWN Network Solution for 400Gbps High-Speed Inter-Data Center Connections that Reduces Construction and Operation Costs by 50%, and power consumption by 40%
TOKYO, Sept 5, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The IOWN Network Solution (400G) (hereinafter, The Solution) combines the IOWN-related technologies of NTT Corporation (NTT) and those of IP Infusion Inc. (IP Infusion)(1), a leading software company in the United States, to realize high-speed, high-capacity, and low-power consumption communication.NTT and ACCESS Co., Ltd. (ACCESS)(2) have been strengthening the collaboration of the R&D and productization of network OS as well as sales and support in the global market through a capital and business alliance(3) to develop the IOWN.Today, nine companies, NTT, NTT Advanced Technology Corporation (NTT-AT), ACCESS, IP Infusion, Broadcom Inc. (Broadcom), Edgecore Networks Corporation (Edgecore), UfiSpace Co., Ltd. (UfiSpace), Fujitsu Optical Components Ltd. (FOC), and NEC Corporation (NEC), are announcing that they are ready to provide the solution to realize 400Gbps high-speed data center connectivity by their close collaboration, with their technologies and products. This solution will be sold by NTT-AT and IP Infusion.With this solution, customers such as data center operators and telecommunication carriers can construct simple and lower cost inter-data center networks based on 400G ZR/ZR+ for high-speed and long-distance transmission. This will contribute to a 50% reduction in the construction and operation costs of the network equipment(4), 40% reduction in power consumption(4), and rack space.1. BackgroundThe rapid increase in power consumption has become a social issue as the data amount in data centers increases due to the development and spread usage of generative AI and machine learning. As the data amount is expected to further increase in the future, there are growing expectations for low-cost construction of high-speed connections between data centers to distribute expanding data calculation processing and low-power consumption.In constructing high-speed data center connections, software-hardware integrated network devices with a limited number of optical transceivers options are usually used in the current network, which poses a problem in terms of investment efficiency. In response, there is a need to improve investment efficiency through the software and hardware disaggregation and the flexible selection of optical transceivers.2. IOWN Network Solution (400G) OverviewThis solution provides a switch/router capable of long-distance transmission at 400Gbps.

Fujitsu and MoBagel revolutionize business processes through accelerated AI prediction
Kawasaki and Las Vegas, Sept 5, 2024 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Fujitsu Limited and MoBagel Inc. today announced that Fujitsu has provided AI technology from its Fujitsu Kozuchi service for use in Decanter AI, an AutoML platform developed by US-based AI startup MoBagel Inc. This new solution, designed to accelerate AI-driven predictions, will be available globally starting from September 5, 2024 and is born out of a strategic partnership between the two companies established in December 2023.Fujitsu Kozuchi AutoML, which automates the construction of machine learning models, and Wide Learning™, a part of the explainable AI technology Fujitsu Kozuchi XAI, are being provided to MoBagel under license. By integrating Fujitsu’s AI services into Mobagel’s Decanter AI platform, the two companies have enabled the creation of advanced AI models that are both accurate and cost-effective, while streamlining data analysis. 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. In addition, feature analysis powered by Wide Learning™ technology generates actionable recommendations by making relationships easier to find through its use of natural language. This AI solution is highly adaptable, cost-effective, and can be deployed quickly.Hideto (Ted) Okada, SVP and Head of Technology Strategy Unit, Fujitsu Limited, comments:“Fujitsu’s suite of advanced AI services provided through Fujitsu Kozuchi make it a leading player in the enterprise AI market . By providing Fujitsu’s expertise to innovative startups such as MoBagel we are helping our customers to rapidly adopt AI and contributing to the development of new AI offerings.”Adms Chung, CEO of MoBagel Inc., comments:“We are thrilled to partner with Fujitsu, as together we have introduced innovative AI technology that addresses the industry’s most critical challenges: accuracy, speed, and cost-efficiency in AI transformation. By integrating Fujitsu AutoML and Wide Learning into MoBagel's AI platform, we improve the development and integration of AI models, making them more explainable and better aligned with business impacts. This collaboration enables businesses to create AI applications or AI agents faster, more reliably, and cost-effectively, bringing us closer to our vision of building AI together and beyond.”Future PlansMoBagel, in collaboration with the team at Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, will conduct a PoC for utilizing this solution in financial crime prevention. The PoC will take the form of a hands-on workshop where participants use Decanter AI to analyze large volumes of trading data and rapidly identify unusual behavior and suspicious trading patterns.Fujitsu and MoBagel will continue to deliver AI solutions to customers across industries empowering them to transform and streamline their business processes.About FujitsuFujitsu’s purpose is to make the world more sustainable by building trust in society through innovation.
