AsiaMedic Reports 26% Revenue Growth to S$16.6 million in 1H2025, Led by Strong Diagnostic Imaging Performance
SINGAPORE, Aug 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - SGX Catalist-listed AsiaMedic Limited (the “Company” and, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) announced its unaudited financial results for the six months ended 30 June 2025 (“1H2025”), delivering 26% year-on-year revenue growth to S$16.6 million, up from S$13.2 million in 1H2024.This performance was led by the Group’s diagnostic imaging business, which contributed over 60% of total revenue, supported by strong demand at its flagship Shaw Centre clinic and contributions from the newly opened Novena imaging centre.Financial Highlights:Revenue up 26% to S$16.6 million, from S$13.2m in 1H2024, driven by strong growth in diagnostic imaging and steady performance in medical wellness.EBITDA attributable to owners of the Company was maintained at S$1.3 million, reflecting consistent contributions from core businesses, even as the new Novena centre incurred ramp-up losses.Net loss attributable to owners of the Company narrows significantly to S$38,603 from S$104,431 in 1H2024.Cash and cash equivalents stood at S$4.9 million, with an additional S$3.6 million in financial assets, reflecting strong underlying liquidity despite investments into Novena centre.Profitability was significantly affected by the new Novena imaging centre as it remains in its ramp-up phase. However, the Group’s financial performance reflects solid execution of its core business strategy amidst expansion.Mr Arifin Kwek (郭致宾), Chief Executive Officer of AsiaMedic Limited, said, “Our performance in the first half of 2025 reflects the continued strength of our diagnostic imaging business. Shaw Centre remained our primary growth engine with sustained patient volumes, while the newly opened Novena Centre, though still ramping up, has already begun contributing. These investments will further position us as a trusted provider of early detection and preventive care in Singapore.Our health screening and medical wellness segment remained stable, underpinned by the government awarded Grow Well SG programme and steady corporate wellness demand. While the opening of Novena has added to our cost, these are deliberate investments in capacity, technology, and skilled professionals in a key medical geographical location in Singapore, that position us for long term growth.We will continue to build on this foundation, focusing on scaling our imaging and health screening businesses while ensuring we deliver high quality, patient-centred care. With expanded capacity and prudent cost management, AsiaMedic is well placed to capture growth opportunities in Singapore’s healthcare sector.”As Singapore continues to position itself as a regional healthcare hub, AsiaMedic is well-placed to meet growing demand for accessible, high-quality diagnostic and preventive healthcare services. With established centres in Orchard and Novena — two of the country’s key medical precincts — the Group is strategically expanding its reach to serve a broader patient base. This geographic presence, supported by ongoing investments in technology, infrastructure, and clinical talent, positions AsiaMedic to play a meaningful role in advancing Singapore’s preventive care and early detection agenda.This media release should be read in conjunction with the financial statements announced on SGXNet.About AsiaMedic LimitedAsiaMedic Limited together with its subsidiaries (“AsiaMedic” or the “Group”) is a leading healthcare provider in Singapore which provides holistic solutions through integrated application of the latest medical technologies to preventand detect early illnesses to achieve positive experiences and clinical outcomes for patients.

Mitsubishi Corporation to acquire shares in Copper World copper mine project in the US
TOKYO, August 14, 2025 - (JCN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Mitsubishi Corporation (“MC”) is pleased to announce that it has reached an agreement to acquire a 30% interest in the Copper World copper mine project (the “Project") owned by Hudbay Minerals Inc. ("Hudbay") for a total consideration of USD 600 million (approximately JPY 87 billion), consisting of USD 420 million (approximately JPY 61 billion) as consideration for equity interest and USD 180 million (approximately JPY 26 billion) as matching contribution which will be allocated toward development costs. MC and Hudbay will jointly conduct a definitive feasibility study for the Project.The U.S. is the world's second-largest consumer of copper, and steady demand growth is expected to continue, driven by population growth, increased power demand from generative AI and data center expansion, and the shift toward electrification. Arizona, where the project is located, accounts for approximately 70% of domestic copper mine production and is a leading mining region with strong access to key infrastructure. The project has already secured the permits required for development and commencement of operations, and is expected to start around 2029, with an anticipated output of approximately 100,000 tonnes of copper per year at peak. There is also potential for future mine expansion by securing permits to access adjacent mining concessions.Hudbay has cultivated extensive experience in mine development and operations since its establishment in 1927. The company currently operates three copper and gold mines and holds two other development projects in addition to the Project. MC has long been engaged in a wide range of businesses in North America, primarily in the U.S., and has invested in various mineral resources through partnerships with mining companies globally. Regarding copper, MC aims to expand its annual equity production to over 400,000 tonnes from FY2030 onwards, leveraging its expertise in global copper mining investments and trading activities. This investment is part of MC’s efforts to achieve that target. MC will advance a definitive feasibility study together with Hudbay, aiming for a final investment decision around 2026, drawing on MC’s knowledge in copper mining investment and extensive business experience across diverse sectors in North America developed over many years.As outlined in its Corporate Strategy 2027, “Leveraging Our Integrated Strength for the Future,” announced in April 2025, MC aims to expand its equity-based resource production and strengthen its competitive edge through its value-creation framework: “Enhance, Reshape, and Create.” Copper is projected to see sustained long-term demand growth. At the same time, challenges such as declining ore grades are making new mine development more difficult, raising concerns about supply stability. MC remains committed to securing and maintaining a stable supply of copper resources, which is essential for achieving a decarbonized society.Copper World Project SiteProject OverviewLocationTucson, Arizona, USAMining MethodOpen PitOre Reserves*2 MtResource Estimate**5 MtProduction StartAround 2029Maximum Annual ProductionApproximately 100,000 tonnesLife of Mine20 years (potential for further expansion)*Economically mineable part of resources**Total quantity of minerals confirmed through geological surveysHudbay OverviewCompany NameHudbay Minerals Inc.HeadquartersToronto, Ontario, CanadaEstablished1927CEOPeter KukielskiListingsToronto Stock Exchange, New York Stock ExchangeBusiness ActivitiesDevelopment and operation of copper and gold mines in Canada, the United States, and Peru Mitsubishi CorporationMitsubishi Corporation (MC) is an integrated trading and investment company that develops and operates businesses across multiple industries together with its global network.

Focus Graphite Advances ESIA Reporting at Lac Knife and Accelerates Mineral Resource Expansion at Lac Tetepisca and Announces the Grant of Options and RSUs
Ottawa, Ontario--(ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com - August 13, 2025) - Focus Graphite Inc. (TSXV: FMS) (OTCQB: FCSMF) (FSE: FKC0) ("Focus" or the "Company"), a leading Canadian graphite developer advancing high-grade projects in Québec, is pleased to announce the resumption of work on the Environmental and Social Impact Assessment ("ESIA") for its 100%-owned Lac Knife flake graphite project located near Fermont, in the province's prolific iron ore mining district.The Company has formally re-engaged IOS Geosciences Inc. ("IOS"), a leading Québec-based geological consulting firm and former general contractor on the ESIA, to complete a total of sixteen (16) technical reports required for submission to Québec's environmental and natural resource authorities. These reports represent a major step in advancing the Lac Knife project toward permitting and the goal of mine construction.The ESIA program, initially launched in 2020, involves multidisciplinary technical evaluations and environmental baseline work conducted across 2020 and 2021. Finalization was delayed due to funding constraints but is now back on track. Report completion is estimated by early 2026, with submissions planned shortly thereafter to the Québec Ministry of Sustainable Development, Environment, and the Fight Against Climate Change ("MDDELCC"), as well as the Ministry of Natural Resources and Forests ("MRNF").The sixteen (16) technical reports in progress cover critical permitting areas, including:Condemnation and pit wall drillingAcid-generating potential analysisGeotechnical drilling and soil mechanicsSoil geochemistry and chemistry baselineLake-bottom geochemical and surface water quality surveysGroundwater habitat assessment and follow-upCaribou habitat assessment and follow-upGeometallurgical and graphite flake characterizationThese comprehensive studies are essential for satisfying Québec's rigorous environmental and social licensing requirements and underscore Focus Graphite's commitment to environmental stewardship and Indigenous engagement through project development.In parallel, Focus has also authorized IOS proceed with geochemical analysis of over 1,000 split and pulverized drill core samples collected from its 2022 exploration drilling program at the Lac Tétépisca ("Tétépisca") graphite project. The samples, targeting the Southwest MOGC and West Limb geophysical (MAG-EM) conductors, will undergo carbon and sulfur determinations at certified laboratories.Upon receipt of assays, IOS will finalize and submit the corresponding technical reports covering 14,900.5 metres of core drilling from 74 holes to the MRNF. An updated Canadian Institute of Mining, Metallurgy and Petroleum ("CIM") and National Instrument ("NI") 43-101 compliant Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") for the Manicouagan-Ouest Graphitic Corridor ("MOGC") graphite deposit is anticipated in Fall 2025, which will further define Tétépisca's development potential alongside Lac Knife."Resuming the ESIA is a pivotal milestone that moves us closer to full permitting and our goal of mine development at Lac Knife," said Dean Hanisch, CEO of Focus Graphite. "With most fieldwork and laboratory studies already complete, we're in a strong position to finalize this critical stage efficiently. At the same time, initiating assay work at Tétépisca to support an upgraded mineral resource estimate reflects our commitment to building value across our entire Québec asset base."The Company also announced the grant of incentive stock options as compensation to its directors, officers, employees, and consultants. Options to purchase up to 4,215,000 Common Shares of the Company have been granted at an exercise price of $0.14 per share. The options expire on 13 August, 2030. Additionally, the Company has granted 1,350,000 restricted stock units ("RSUs") to officers, directors, and consultants of the Company under the terms of the Company's restricted share unit and equity incentive plan (the "RSU and EIP Plan").

中國正在認真對待人工智慧安全，美國也必須如此
(SeaPRwire) - 「中國不在乎人工智慧安全——那我們為什麼要在乎？」這種錯誤的邏輯充斥著美國的政策和科技圈，為華盛頓競相超越北京的人工智慧發展，以及不顧一切的逐底競爭提供了掩護。 根據這種說法，監管人工智慧可能會在所謂的「。」中落後。而且由於中國據說不優先考慮安全，因此即使是魯莽地向前衝——也是更安全的長期賭注。這種說法不僅是，而且是危險的。 具有諷刺意味的是，中國領導人可能給美國的人工智慧鼓吹者們上了一課：真正的需要控制。正如中國最高科技官員丁薛祥在2025年1月的達沃斯表示：「如果煞車系統不受控制，你就不能有信心地踩油門。」對於中國領導人來說，安全不是一種限制；而是一種先決條件。 人工智慧安全已成為中國的政治。今年4月，習近平主席主持了一次罕見的政治局，就人工智慧發出「前所未有」的風險警告。中國現在將人工智慧安全與疫情和網路攻擊並列。監管機構要求對生成式人工智慧進行部署前的安全評估，並且最近從市場上移除了超過不合規的人工智慧產品。僅在今年上半年，中國就比過去三年加起來制定了更多的國家人工智慧標準。與此同時，過去一年中，中國對前沿人工智慧安全的研究論文數量增加了一倍多。 但美中兩國領導人上次會面討論人工智慧風險是在。今年9月，兩國官員暗示將在「適當時候」恢復對話。但在拜登政府領導下，沒有舉行任何會議，而且對於川普政府是否會接手此事，存在更大的不確定性。這是一個錯失的機會。 中國對合作持開放態度。2025年5月，它與英國啟動了雙邊人工智慧對話。受人尊敬的中國科學家為主要的國際努力做出了貢獻，例如由33個國家和政府間組織（包括美國和中國）支持的，以及關於全球人工智慧安全研究優先事項的。 必要的第一步是恢復休眠的美中人工智慧風險對話。如果沒有一個運作正常的政府間管道，協調的前景仍然渺茫。中國表示，它願意在拜登政府結束後繼續對話。它已經產生了一個不大但具有象徵意義的重要協議：確認人類決策必須保持對核武器的控制。該管道具有進一步發展的潛力。 展望未來，討論應側重於共同的、高風險的威脅。考慮到OpenAI最近對其最新ChatGPT Agent的描述，該Agent已根據該公司自己的通過了生物領域的「高能力」門檻。這意味著該Agent至少在原則上可以為用戶提供有意義的指導，從而可能促進危險生物威脅的產生。和北京都有防止非國家行為者將此類工具武器化的。人工智慧輔助的不會尊重國界。此外，來自西方和中國的領先專家和圖靈獎得主，對先進的通用人工智慧系統可能在人類控制之外運作，從而構成災難性和生存風險表示擔憂。 兩國政府都已經承認了其中的一些風險。川普總統的警告說，人工智慧可能「在不久的將來構成新的國家安全風險」，特別是在網路安全以及化學、生物、放射性和核（CBRN）領域。同樣，去年9月，中國主要的AI安全標準機構強調了針對網路安全、CBRN和失控風險的人工智慧安全標準的必要性。 從那裡開始，雙方可以採取切實的步驟，在領先的標準組織之間建立技術信任——例如中國的National Information Security Standardization Technical Committee () 和美國的National Institute of Standards and Technology () 此外，行業主管部門，例如中國人工智慧產業聯盟 (AIIA) 和美國的Frontier Model Forum，可以分享風險管理框架的最佳實踐。AIIA制定了「」，大多數中國領先的開發商都已簽署。一個新的中國，完全側重於前沿風險，包括網路濫用、生物濫用、大規模的說服和操縱以及失控情境，已在期間發布，可以幫助兩國保持一致。 隨著信任的加深，各國政府和領先的實驗室可以開始分享最先進模型的安全評估方法和結果。在WAIC上公佈的，明確呼籲創建「相互認可的安全評估平台」。正如Anthropic的聯合創始人所說，最近中國的人工智慧安全評估與西方的研究結果相似：前沿人工智慧系統會帶來一些重要的CBRN風險，並且開始顯示出自主自我複製和欺騙的早期預警信號。對模型漏洞（以及如何測試這些漏洞）的共同理解，將為更廣泛的安全合作奠定基礎。 最後，雙方可以建立事件報告管道和應急響應協議。如果發生與人工智慧相關的事故或濫用，快速和透明的溝通將至關重要。兩國頂級人工智慧官員之間現代版的「熱線」可以確保在模型突破安全閾值或行為異常時發出實時警報。今年4月，習近平主席強調了人工智慧領域「監測、早期風險預警和應急響應」的必要性。在任何危險事件發生後，都應有一個預先商定的應對計劃。 參與並不容易——政治和技術障礙是不可避免的。但人工智慧風險是全球性的——治理應對也必須如此。美國決策者和行業領導者不應以中國為藉口，為國內在人工智慧監管方面的不作為辯護，而應直接參與。人工智慧風險不會等待。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。 ```
2028年民主黨總統候選人現在就應該開始領導
(SeaPRwire) - 馬里蘭州州長 Wes Moore 最近在一次 中表示，民主黨人不應該現在就考慮 2028 年。他敦促大家專注於當下，而不是下一個總統週期，甚至認為考慮 2028 年是「不合格的」。 我很欣賞 Moore 州長。他是我們黨內最好的領導人之一。我同意他對緊迫性的直覺，但我認為我們現在就可以開始工作，同時為未來做準備。緊迫性也意味著培養下一代領導人——從今天開始。 民主黨。 解決這個問題的一個重要部分是提升下一代領導力——不是在 2027 年，不是在期中選舉之後，而是現在。 沒有它，我們將無法獲勝。 讓我們先從壞消息開始：在 之後，民主黨在 中正在失去輿論戰。 我們越來越被視為現狀的黨派——老齡化的領導層、精英機構、以及與我們旨在服務的人民的日常掙扎脫節的技術官僚。 問問 40 歲以下的選民，民主黨代表什麼，你通常會得到一個聳肩。 問問搖擺州的搖擺選民對黨的方向有何看法，數字是慘淡的。 《Wall Street Journal》 最近 民主黨的支持率處於 35 年來的最低點。 現在是好消息：準備好為民主黨挺身而出的領導者陣容不僅深厚，而且非常出色。 我們有取得重大勝利和廣泛吸引力的州長：Wes Moore、Gretchen Whitmer、Andy Beshear、Josh Shapiro、JB Pritzker、Gavin Newsom、Phil Murphy。 我們有像 Ruben Gallego、Elissa Slotkin、Chris Coons 和 Chris Murphy 這樣的參議員，像 Mitch Landrieu 和 Justin Bibb 這樣的市長，像 Gina Raimondo 和 Pete Buttigieg 這樣的內閣部長，以及像 James Talarico 和眾議員 Sarah McBride 這樣的新星，他們正在大胆領導並重新定義民主黨的品牌。 我們在紐澤西州有令人難以置信的 2025 年州長候選人眾議員 Mikie Sherrill，在維吉尼亞州有眾議員 Abigail Spanberger。 諸如 NewDEAL Leaders 和 Next50 之類的組織正在招募、選舉和支持代表下一代黨領導的州和地方領導人。 但除非你是個政治狂熱者，否則你可能無法從隊伍中挑選出一半的人。 這不是一個訊息傳遞問題。 這是一個能見度的問題。 選民不會愛上履歷——甚至不是 。 他們與那些出現、說話清晰並讓他們感到被關注的人建立聯繫。 這種共鳴需要重複和存在。 這需要一種在被要求之前就願意走進聚光燈下的意願。 總統競選通常以含糊的否認開始——在悄悄地訪問愛荷華州或啟動 PAC 之前不久。 有一個古老的傳統，即等到期中選舉之後才認真對待，以免「分散」黨的更廣泛工作。 這種傳統不再為我們服務。 事實上，它正在傷害我們。 我們的品牌處於水下。 重建它的一部分是向選民展示民主黨的新面孔和引人注目的面孔。 你不能用訊息改變品牌——你用領導者改變它。 2020 年，我曾在擁擠的初選中為 Joe Biden 工作。 支持他參選的最有力的論點之一是，他不僅經驗豐富，而且有資格當選，而且他已經證明了這一點。 2018 年，作為前副總統，他為各個層級的民主黨人努力奮鬥。 他出現在紅色選區和紫色州。 他召集人群，錄製電話拜票，並幫助翻轉了像 在賓夕法尼亞州的席位。 這種聲譽不是白白得來的。 他是通過早、經常和無處不在地出現，並向民主黨初選選民表明他知道如何在艱難的地方獲勝來獲得的。 任何關注 2028 年的人現在都應該做這項工作——或者為願意這樣做的人讓路。 在 2025 年贏得州長競選，並在 2026 年翻轉紅色席位，將需要改變選民在想到「民主黨人」時所想到的畫面。 這始於領導力。 任何旨在成為黨的旗手的人現在都需要表現得像那樣——通過支持基層候選人、與州黨組織、籌集資金、招募人才，並出現在重要的鬥爭中。 我們應該慶祝 2028 年將產生的龐大且競爭激烈的初選領域。 我們將因更多領導者的更多想法而得到加強。 這個過程只會通過展示我們最大的資產：我們的才華，使我們變得更強大。 對於所有這些候選人來說，重要的是要記住，總統職位不僅僅是一個職位——它是對一項運動、一個訊息和一個國家聯盟的領導。 如果你想領導民主黨，現在就開始領導它。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。 ```
新研究：AI讓醫生偵測癌症能力下降
(SeaPRwire) - 健康從業者、公司和其他人多年來一直稱讚AI在醫學領域的應用，從改善疾病診斷到在表現上超越醫生。AI愛好者甚至預測這項變革性技術有朝一日能幫助找到「癌症的治療方法」。 然而，一項新研究發現，經常使用AI的醫生在幾個月內實際變得不那麼熟練了。 這項研究於週三發表在《The Lancet》雜誌上，發現在六個月的時間裡，臨床醫生過度依賴AI的建議，以至於他們在沒有AI輔助的情況下進行認知決策時，「變得不那麼有動力、不那麼專注、也不那麼負責」。 這是最新一項證明AI用戶可能產生不良結果的研究。麻省理工學院(Massachusetts Institute of Technology)先前的一項研究發現，ChatGPT會讓員工效率降低。 研究如何進行 歐洲各機構的研究人員進行了一項觀察性研究，調查了波蘭的四個內視鏡中心，這些中心參與了「人工智慧在結腸鏡檢查中用於癌症預防 (Artificial Intelligence in Colonoscopy for Cancer Prevention, AICCAP) 試驗」。該研究由歐盟委員會(European Commission)和日本學術振興會(Japan Society for the Promotion of Science)資助。 作為試驗的一部分，這些中心於2021年末引入了AI工具，用於檢測息肉——這種生長物可以是良性或惡性的。這項研究觀察了在2021年9月至2022年3月期間進行的共2,177次結腸鏡檢查中的1,443次無AI輔助的結腸鏡檢查。這些結腸鏡檢查由19位經驗豐富的內視鏡醫師執行。 研究人員比較了AI實施前後三個月的結腸鏡檢查品質。結腸鏡檢查是隨機在AI輔助或無AI輔助下進行的。在無AI輔助的檢查中，795次是在常規AI使用實施前進行的，648次是在AI工具引入後進行的。 研究發現了什麼 在AI引入前三個月，腺瘤檢測率（ADR）約為28%。在AI引入後三個月，當臨床醫生沒有AI輔助時，該比率下降到22%。ADR是結腸鏡檢查常用的一個品質指標，定義為「由醫師進行的篩檢性結腸鏡檢查中，至少檢測到一個經組織學證實的結直腸腺瘤或腺癌的比例」。腺瘤是癌前病變，ADR越高，結直腸癌的風險越低。 研究發現，當使用AI時，AI確實有助於內視鏡醫師進行檢測，但一旦移除輔助，臨床醫師的檢測能力會變差。 研究人員將此歸因於人類「過度依賴」AI等決策支援系統建議的自然傾向。 研究合著者、Medical University of Silesia助理教授Marcin Romańczyk告訴《TIME》雜誌：「想像一下，你想去任何地方旅行，卻無法使用Google Maps。我們稱之為Google Maps效應。我們試圖到達某個地方，卻無法使用普通地圖。它的運作方式非常相似。」 研究的影響 Omer Ahmad是University College Hospital London的顧問胃腸病學家，他為該研究撰寫了一篇社論但未參與其研究，他告訴《TIME》雜誌，接觸AI很可能會削弱醫生在視覺搜尋習慣和警覺凝視模式方面的能力，而這些對於檢測息肉至關重要。 Ahmad表示：「本質上，對AI檢測的依賴可能會鈍化人類的模式識別能力。」他補充說，在取消AI輔助時，經常使用AI也可能「降低診斷信心」，或者內視鏡醫師操作結腸鏡的技能可能會下降。 在向SMC發表的評論中，University of Hertfordshire’s Department of Computer Science的首席講師Catherine Menon表示：「儘管先前研究中已提出因使用AI導致技能退化的理論風險，但這項研究首次呈現了可能確實表明AI在診斷性結腸鏡檢查中使用導致技能退化的真實世界數據。」Menon對過度依賴AI可能使健康從業者面臨技術妥協的風險表示擔憂。 其他專家對僅從一項研究中得出結論更加謹慎。 Queen Mary University of London臨床AI和機器學習教授Venet Osmani向SMC指出，在研究過程中，結腸鏡檢查的總數——包括AI輔助和非AI輔助的——有所增加。Osmani建議，增加的工作量可能導致臨床醫生疲勞和較差的檢測率。 Brunel University of London人工智慧教授Allan Tucker也指出，在AI輔助下，臨床醫生的整體表現有所提高。Tucker補充對SMC表示，對於因自動化偏見導致技能退化的擔憂「並非AI系統獨有，而是引入任何新技術的風險」。 Tucker表示：「這不僅僅是關於監測技術，」他補充說：「而是關於駕馭新的人機臨床生態系統的複雜性。」他認為，建立保障措施至關重要，並建議除了這項研究之外，人們可能需要專注於「在AI無處不在的世界中，如何保留基本技能」。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。

(SeaPRwire) - YouTube 是美國最受歡迎的線上平台之一。但並非該影音分享網站上的所有內容都適合所有年齡層。 雖然該平台與大多數平台一樣，對於 18 歲以下的用戶設有暴力和裸露等 ，但過去年輕用戶可以透過在其帳戶上輸入較大的出生日期來輕易規避這些保護措施。 但現在，該公司正在推出一種人工智慧驅動的工具，根據用戶在平台上的活動來估算用戶的年齡，「然後使用該訊號，無論帳戶中的生日為何，以提供我們適合年齡的產品體驗和保護，」 YouTube Youth 的產品管理總監 James Beser 上個月 表示。 根據 Beser 的說法，這項技術「已在其他市場使用了一段時間」，並將於週三在美國開始測試，然後再進行更廣泛的推廣。 「我們很自豪能再次站在引領技術的最前線，讓我們能夠在保護青少年隱私的同時提供安全保護，」Beser 說。「家庭信任 YouTube 提供安全且豐富的體驗，我們將繼續投資以保護他們在網路上安全探索的能力。」 以下是有關 YouTube 估算美國用戶年齡計畫的相關資訊。 人工智慧驅動工具的運作方式 根據 Beser 的說法，該模型將「解釋來自用戶的各種訊號」以估算他們的年齡。 他說，這些包括「用戶正在搜尋的影片類型、他們觀看過的影片類別或帳戶的持續時間」。 如果該模型標記某個用戶未滿 18 歲，YouTube 將自動應用特定於年齡的保護措施。 這些包括禁用個人化廣告、開啟數位健康工具（如提醒休息和就寢）以及安裝保護措施來進行推薦，例如限制重複接觸某些類型的內容。 「我們只允許已被推斷或驗證為 18 歲以上的用戶觀看可能不適合年輕用戶的年齡限制內容，」Beser 說。 根據母公司 Google 上的 ，YouTube 不會要求所有用戶上傳身分證。 但是，如果該模型錯誤地估計某個用戶未成年，他們將能夠透過信用卡、自拍照或政府核發的身分證來驗證他們已滿 18 歲。 被視為未成年的用戶可以選擇不上傳這些資料，但針對青少年的保護措施仍然有效。 根據同一個論壇的說法，新模型也可能對創作者產生「有限的影響」。 如果某個用戶被識別為青少年，YouTube 可能會將他們上傳的內容預設設為私人，並可能限制他們從垂直直播中的禮物中獲利的能力。 YouTube 員工表示，「這可能會導致廣告收入減少，因為我們只向這些觀眾投放非個人化廣告。」 YouTube 為什麼要這樣做？ 由於青少年不斷尋找繞過年齡限制的方法，因此像 YouTube 這樣的平台在美國面臨越來越大的政治壓力，要求採取更嚴格的措施來保護未成年人。 今年 6 月，最高法院 裁定德州一項要求託管色情露骨內容的網站進行年齡驗證的法律符合憲法。 也提出了法律，命令限制未成年人在社交媒體上的活動。 而兩黨支持的 ，該法案要求平台採取更大的措施來最大限度地減少對未成年人的傷害，已於今年在國會重新提出。 這也是更廣泛的全球趨勢的一部分。 在澳洲，政府正朝著全國禁止 16 歲以下兒童 (YouTube )的方向發展，並且 對搜尋引擎進行年齡檢查。 在英國，一項 針對成人網站的 要求用戶確認其年齡，儘管據報導，Spotify、Reddit 和 X 等非成人平台也已尋求用戶進行年齡驗證。 然而，其中一些政策 主要受到對隱私和言論自由的擔憂 。 有什麼影響和擔憂？ 根據網路民權組織 的說法，年齡估算技術可能會剝奪某些用戶使用他們應該能夠存取的技術。 例如：「如果一個成年人僅僅因為在 YouTube 上觀看了大量的角色扮演遊戲評論而被錯誤地歸類為兒童用戶，他們將不得不在向服務提出申訴並上傳身分證或完全放棄存取服務之間做出選擇。」 YouTube 的年齡估算計畫也因潛在的隱私侵犯而受到審查：反對該計畫推出的 Change.org 至今已收集超過 68,000 個簽名。 該請願書稱，「大規模監控和數據控制」受到威脅，因為年齡估算模型會分析用戶的觀看行為和觀看歷史。 它還認為，YouTube 的此舉可能會開創一個危險的先例：「一旦這些系統常態化，它們就很少消失——它們會擴展。 如果我們現在不發聲，我們就有可能失去自由瀏覽、創作和享受內容的能力。 這不僅僅是關於 YouTube。 這是關於數位自由。」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。 ```

康基醫療收到由董事長鍾鳴、TPG及卡塔爾投資局(QIA)牽頭財團提出之私有化要約 助力公司實現長遠願景
康基醫療控股有限公司與Knight Bidco Limited今日聯合宣佈，擬通過協議安排（"建議交易"）對公司進行私有化。康基醫療控股有限公司私有化要約：每股9.25港元的註銷價較股份於截至未受干擾日期（即2025年6月30日）之收盤價溢價約21.7%，較股份於截至未受干擾日期（包括該日）止360個交易日在聯交所所報的平均收盤價溢價約47.3%，且超過了2022年以來於聯交所錄得之最高收盤價。本次私有化擬以協議安排實施，要約人及其一致行動人士合共持有公司74.75%之股份；已獲得一家機構股東作出的不可撤銷承諾，將投票支持該私有化方案。該方案為股東提供明確機會，使其能夠於康基醫療控股有限公司之股份持續面臨交易價格壓力及流動性受限之際，變現其於公司之權益。香港，2025年8月13日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 2025年8月12日，康基醫療控股有限公司（「康基醫療」或「公司」，股份代號：9997.HK）與KNIGHT BIDCO LIMITED「要約人」今日聯合宣佈，雙方擬以協議安排的方式對公司進行私有化，以期公司能夠專注於長期戰略決策，包括研發長期投入及運營升級。待該方案完成後，公司將成為要約人的全資附屬公司，而公司股份於聯交所的上市地位將被撤銷。要約人由以下成員組成的財團全資持有：鍾先生與申屠女士（創始人）、TPG實體、NewQuest V基金及Al-Rayyan Holding。交易理據鑒於股票的交易價格持續承壓且流動性長期不足，公司從股票市場籌集資金的能力受到嚴重限制。除此之外，本公司為維持上市地位須承擔行政、合規及其他與上市相關之成本及開支，故維持上市地位之裨益有限。由於國內市場競爭加劇及持續之監管不確定性，為實現可持續增長，公司之長期策略需進行重大投資，此舉可能對短期財務表現造成壓力。預計需將額外資源分配至以下領域：銷售與市場推廣、研發及商業化投資，以及中國境外之市場擴張。鑒於維持上市地位之裨益有限，且涉及相關上市成本，康基醫療繼續維持上市地位之必要性已顯著降低。此外，該方案之實施將緩解公司短期財務表現所受壓力，從而更專注於戰略目標之推進。公司預期需要配置更多資源，以保障其未來可持續發展。此外，該方案為少數股東提供具吸引力之機會，使其能在市場波動、行業及宏觀不確定性，以及股份流動性有限之情況下，實現可觀回報。KNIGHT BIDCO LIMITED提出的私有化方案為康基醫療及其股東提供了及時有效的解決方案，提議將康基醫療私有化的方案將：(a) 降低康基醫療的行政、合規及其他上市相關成本；(b) 緩解康基醫療面臨的短期業績指標壓力，使康基醫療能夠專注於長遠戰略決策（例如可能導致短期虧損的長期研發投入及運營升級）；以及(c) 為現有股東提供明確保障，使其能以顯著高於未受干擾股價之溢價，實現於康基醫療之權益變現。綜上所述，要約方認為私有化交易能為全體股東提供即時且最具吸引力價值的戰略選擇，同時可規避不確定市場環境帶來的風險。交易方案概述本次私有化方案設定的股份註銷價格為每股9.25港元，按股權價值計算對公司估值約為14億美元。[1]要約方已明確表示，註銷價格為最終定價且後續不會上調。該註銷價格體現以下考量：較股份於未受干擾日期（即2025年6月30日）在聯交所所報收盤價溢價約21.7%。較股份於截至未受干擾日期（包括該日）止360個交易日在聯交所所報的平均收盤價溢價約47.3%。以及截至未受干擾日期（包括該日）止於聯交所所報之股份價格的過去52週最低收盤價（5.01港幣）溢價約84.6%。此外，在較長的過往期間內，註銷價格超過了股份自2022年以來的最高收盤價（8.66港幣）。本次註銷價格的確定已綜合考量下列因素（包括但不限於），股份於聯交所的近期及歷史交易價格，公司公開披露的財務資訊，及參照近年來香港市場類似私有化交易案例。該方案的實施受限於所有先決條件於2026年1月31日（先決條件最後截止日期）或之前達成，並在2026年4月30日（最後截止日期）之前滿足條件。公司將委任獨立財務顧問（"IFA"）向為方案目的而設立的獨立董事委員會（"獨立董事委員會"）提供意見，以便就方案向股東作出推薦建議。方案的詳情，包括獨立董事委員會的最終推薦意見及獨立財務顧問的意見函，將載入計劃文件，並預期在切實可行的情況下儘快寄發給股東。協議安排會議協議安排會議的具體細節將載於計劃文件，該文件預計將於適當時候寄發予股東。本次交易尚需滿足《聯合》公告所列的多項先決條件及條件，包括但不限於監管批准、股東批准及其他法定合規要求。不可撤銷承諾本公司已獲得一名機構股東作出的不可撤銷承諾，將就該項提案投贊成票。詳情請參閱《聯合公告》。康基醫療已於2025年7月18日上午9時正起於聯交所暫停買賣，以待刊發本公告。公司已向聯交所申請股份自2025年8月13日上午9點起恢復買賣。摩根大通擔任要約方獨家財務顧問關於康基醫療控股有限公司康基醫療控股有限公司創立於2004年，總部位於中國浙江省杭州市，於2020年6月在香港聯合交易所主板上市，股票代碼9997.HK。公司專注于設計、開發、生產和銷售微創外科手術器械及配套耗材(「MISIA」)，秉持著「為醫生提供優質產品和服務，致力於人類健康事業」為使命，通過豐富的產品組合為婦產科、普外科、泌尿外科和胸外科等臨床科室的微創外科手術提供一站式解決方案，並致力於發展為一個立足中國，輻射全球的國際化微創外科手術器械及配套耗材平台。關於Knight Bidco Limited要約人、MidCo 及TopCo均為於開曼群島新註冊成立的有限公司及僅為實施該建議而成立的投資控股公司。於本公告日期，要約人由MidCo全資擁有，而MidCo由TopCo全資擁有。於本公告日期，TopCo由財團成員持有，其中Fortune Spring ZM、Fortune Spring YG、TPG Asia VII、Keyhole、Knight Success、NewQuest V及Al-Rayyan Holding分別持有約25.53%、約14.47%、約24.38%、約5.01%、約5.69%、約4.56%及約20.36%。截至本公告發布之日，除聯合公告中「公司的股權架構」一節所披露外，TPG Asia VII、Keyhole、Knight Success、NewQuest V及Al-Rayyan Holding 均非股東。康基醫療現由鍾鳴先生及其配偶申屠女士共同控制，二人合計持有康基醫療52.98%股份。待私有化完成後，鍾氏夫婦將通過"Fortune Spring ZM"與"Fortune Spring YG"繼續持有要約方最終控股公司（TopCo）40.00%股權，並保持第一大股東地位。更多細節詳見《聯合公告》。各創始人實體均為英屬維爾京群島註冊成立的商業公司。Knight Success為一家於新加坡新註冊成立的有限公司及且為一家投資控股公司。Keyhole為一家於開曼群島註冊成立之獲豁免有限公司及投資控股公司。TPG Asia VII為一家於新加坡註冊成立的有限公司。Knight Success 及Keyhole均由TPG Asia VII全資擁有或控制，而後者由TPG Asia GenPar VII Advisors, Inc.控制，並最終由納斯達克上市的特拉華州公司TPG Inc. 控制。TPG是一家全球領先的另類資產管理公司，成立於1992 年，截至2025年6月30日年管理的資產超過2,690億美元。多年來，TPG一直致力於投資變革、增長與創新，旨在為投資者構建多元化的產品與策略，同時藉由貫徹紀律及卓越的營運管理，提升投資策略與投資組合的整體表現。NewQuest V為一家於新加坡註冊成立的有限公司及投資控股公司。NewQuest V由NewQuest Asia Fund V, L.P. 全資擁有，而後者由NewQuest Asia Fund V GP Ltd.控制，並最終由納斯達克上市的特拉華州公司TPG Inc.控制。NewQuest成立於2011年，是亞洲領先的二級私募股權平台之一，擁有亞洲最有經驗的二級團隊，分佈於五個辦事處。自成立以來，NewQuest 一直專注於與普通合夥人合作，創建定制的解決方案，以滿足私募資產持有人及其利益相關者的流動性和其他戰略需求。從2018年建立的戰略合作夥伴關係開始，NewQuest 於2022 年1月成為TPG的全資附屬公司。Al-Rayyan Holding為一家根據卡塔爾金融中心管理局的規定於2012年在卡塔爾成立的有限責任公司，且為卡塔爾主權財富基金卡塔爾投資局全資擁有的間接附屬公司。成立於2005年的卡塔爾投資局旨在投資和管理國家儲備基金。卡塔爾投資局為全球最大、最活躍的主權財富基金之一。卡塔爾投資局投資於廣泛的資產類別及地區，並與世界各地的領先機構合作，建立具有長期前景的全球化及多元化投資組合。於本公告日期，Al-Rayyan Holding 及其一致行方（與Al-Rayyan Holding 單獨或被視為與該財團一致行事的各方除外）均不持有任何股份。如有垂詢，敬請聯繫：康基醫療控股有限公司要約人傳媒聯絡：皓天財經集團有限公司Angie Li & Jason Lai電話：(852) 6150 8598 / (852) 9798 0715電郵：po@wsfg.hk傳媒聯絡: 博然思維Kay Lau+852 6021 7009Tong Li+86 134 8872 6729電郵：TeamKnight@brunswickgroup.com[1] 以每股9.25港币的注销价格、1,207,994,000股流通股，以及7.85的美元兑港币汇率计算免責聲明：本新聞稿中使用的所有未另行定義的大寫術語，其含義均以2025 年 8 月 12日 發佈的《聯合公告》中的釋義為准。本新聞稿須與《聯合公告》全文一併閱讀，公告副本可在以下鏈接查閱。https://www1.hkexnews.hk/listedco/listconews/sehk/2025/0812/2025081201339_c.pdf Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.
AI Inference vs. AI Training: What Are the Differences?
SINGAPORE, Aug 13, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Artificial intelligence has many uses in daily life. From personalized shopping suggestions to voice assistants and real-time fraud detection, AI is working behind the scenes to make experiences smoother and more seamless. Behind every smart AI feature is a process that involves two distinct stages: AI training and AI inference. While they're both essential to building intelligent systems, they serve very different purposes and have unique requirements. Let's break down the differences between training and inference.What is AI training?AI training is the process of feeding an AI model large volumes of data, so it learns to recognize patterns and generate the required output.Training generally requires large volumes of labeled or unlabeled data, each of which may facilitate different forms of training.Labeled data: Some projects require a model to make decisions or generate output based on established patterns or correlations. Here, it makes sense to train the model on labeled data using supervised learning techniques.Unlabeled data: Training models on unlabeled data lets them detect new patterns and build an understanding of the relationships between inputs and outputs. This is called unsupervised learning.Think of AI training like teaching a student using flashcards, quizzes, and feedback. During training, the model constantly adjusts internal parameters (often millions or billions of them) to minimize errors and improve accuracy. This phase is computationally intensive and requires specialized hardware like GPUs or TPUs to process large datasets efficiently.For example, training an AI model to recognize objects in images might involve showing it millions of labeled photos of cats, cars, and coffee mugs until it can correctly identify these objects on its own.What is AI inference?Once a model has been trained, it's ready to perform tasks. AI inference is the process of using a trained model to make predictions or decisions on new, unseen data.Inference is typically faster and more lightweight than training. It's used in real-time applications like chatbots, recommendation engines, voice recognition, and edge devices like smartphones or smart cameras. Inference is the test of training. If the output or predictions from your model are inaccurate, you may need to go back to testing.Going back to the earlier example, inference is what happens when you upload a photo to your phone and the AI instantly recognizes your pet as a "cat." The model has been trained to recognize cat images; it just applies what it already knows.Where AI training and inference differThough both stages are part of the same AI lifecycle, they differ significantly in purpose, speed, and system requirements. Here's a closer look at the key differences:ObjectiveTraining aims to teach the AI model by exposing it to data and helping it learn relationships, rules, and patterns.Inference uses the trained model to generate output (such as predictions, classifications, or decisions) based on new data.Time takenTraining can take hours, days, or even weeks, depending on the size of the model and the complexity of the data. It's a resource-heavy, iterative process.Inference happens much faster, often in real time or near real time.Infrastructure needsTraining requires high-performance computing resources such as powerful GPUs or TPUs, and large memory bandwidth. Most training happens in cloud environments or specialized data centers.Inference can often run on lower-powered devices, including edge hardware like mobile phones or IoT devices. Dedicated inference servers or GPU instances may still be needed in some cases.AI training and inference work hand in hand, but they have different goals, requirements, and challenges. Training is about teaching the model, and inference is about putting it to work. Organizations planning AI projects must consider both phases when budgeting, selecting hardware, and choosing infrastructure.CONTACT:Sonakshi MurzeManagersonakshi.murze@iquanti.comSOURCE: OneMain Financial Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.
