Laporan Autopsi Tunjukkan Penyebab Kematian Mangsa Kapal Layar Mewah Adalah ‘Kematian Akibat Penghidupan Terkurung’

(SeaPRwire) - Empat daripada tujuh orang yang meninggal dunia dalam kejadian kapal layar mewah Bayesian yang karam bulan lalu meninggal dunia selepas terperangkap hidup di dalam kabin kapal dan lemas, menurut hasil bedah siasat yang dilaporkan.Peguam Bandaraya New York Chris Morvillo, isterinya Neda, bersama-sama dengan Jonathan Bloomer, pengerusi anak syarikat Morgan Stanley yang berpangkalan di London, dan isterinya, Judy semuanya meninggal dunia akibat "kematian akibat kekangan," menurut hasil forensik, menurut akhbar Itali La Repubblica.Apa yang dikenali sebagai "lemas kering" menyokong hipotesis bahawa keempat-empat mereka sedar ketika kapal karam dan telah menghirup oksigen dengan terdesak di dalam gelembung udara yang sempit sehingga ia tragis kehabisan. Mereka tidak mempunyai air di dalam paru-paru, trakea atau perut, menurut ujian yang dijalankan oleh ahli patologi dari Institut Perubatan Forensik Palermo. Keempat-empat mangsa, bersama dengan usahawan teknologi Mike Lynch – yang telah menganjurkan perjalanan kapal layar untuk meraikan kemenangan undang-undang baru-baru ini – ditemui di dalam sebuah kabin di sebelah kiri kapal, atau kiri lambung kapal, selepas Bayesian karam dalam masa kira-kira 16 minit selepas dilanda ribut sebelum subuh pada 19 Ogos.Anak perempuan Lynch yang berusia 18 tahun, Hannah, ditemui di dalam kabin seterusnya, juga di sebelah kiri lambung kapal. La Repubblica melaporkan bahawa isteri Lynch cuba menyelamatkan suaminya dan anak perempuannya tetapi ketika kapal itu bergoyang, dia terluka di kaki dengan serpihan kaca dan jatuh ke tanah. Dia tidak dapat berjalan selama seminggu kerana luka-luka itu.Kapal itu karam dengan condong ke sisi kanan dan, ketika oksigen kehabisan, ruang udara mereka menjadi toksik dengan karbon dioksida, yang akhirnya menyebabkan kematian mereka.Tukang masak kapal, Recaldo Thomas, ditemui segera di sebelah bangkai kapal.Bedah siasat terhadap jenazah Lynch, anak perempuannya dan Thomas dijadualkan pada hari Jumaat, menurut La Repubblica.Pegawai Perlindungan Awam berkata mereka percaya kapal itu dilanda puting beliung di atas air, yang dikenali sebagai puting beliung, berhampiran pelabuhan Porticello, tempat kapal layar itu berlabuh. Bayesian mempunyai 22 orang di atas kapal – 12 penumpang dan 10 anak kapal. Lima belas orang, termasuk isteri Lynch, diselamatkan daripada kapal layar mewah yang berbendera British sepanjang 184 kaki itu. Morvillo adalah salah seorang peguam Lynch di Amerika Syarikat dalam kes penipuan yang melibatkan penjualan syarikat enjin carian Autonomy kepada Hewlett-Packard pada tahun 2011 dalam perjanjian bernilai $11 bilion yang menjadi masam atas tuduhan bahawa Lynch telah memalsukan buku untuk menaikkan nilai Autonomy, menurut AP.Pendakwa raya dilaporkan sedang menyiasat kapten dan dua anak kapal mengenai kemungkinan tanggungjawab berkaitan dengan kejadian tersebut. Punca karam kapal masih belum dapat dipastikan.Giovanni Costantino, Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif syarikat pembuatan yang bertanggungjawab membina kapal layar itu, telah menyalahkan siri "kesilapan yang tidak dapat digambarkan, tidak masuk akal" oleh anak kapal atas kejatuhan kapal itu. Costantino mengatakan kepada Reuters bahawa anak kapal kapal layar itu telah melakukan "kesilapan yang luar biasa" dengan tidak bersedia untuk ribut, yang telah dimasukkan dalam ramalan penghantaran. Para penumpang sepatutnya dipanggil keluar dari kabin mereka dan diarahkan untuk berkumpul di titik keselamatan kerana kapal itu sedang bersiap sedia untuk ribut dengan mengambil langkah-langkah seperti menarik sauh, kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif itu. Costantino menolak kecacatan reka bentuk atau pembinaan sebagai sebab kapal itu karam, dengan berkata ia tidak mungkin selepas 16 tahun pelayaran tanpa masalah, termasuk dalam keadaan yang lebih buruk daripada Bayesian yang dihadapi minggu ini.Sebaliknya, dia menyalahkan anak kapal kapal layar atas "kesilapan yang luar biasa" dengan tidak bersedia untuk ribut, yang telah dimasukkan dalam ramalan penghantaran. Para penumpang sepatutnya dipanggil keluar dari kabin mereka dan berkumpul di titik keselamatan kerana kapal itu sedang bersiap sedia untuk ribut dengan menarik sauh, kata Ketua Pegawai Eksekutif itu.Selain itu, pintu dan palka sepatutnya ditutup, dan lunas sepatutnya diturunkan untuk meningkatkan kestabilan, di samping langkah keselamatan lain, Costantino menyatakan.’ Greg Norman, Stephen Sorace dan Greg Wehner, as well as Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

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.

Laporan: Kegagalan Kerajaan dan Pengawal Selia Jadikan Menara Grenfell London ‘Perangkap Maut’

(SeaPRwire) - Satu laporan yang mengejutkan mengenai menyatakan pada hari Rabu bahawa selama beberapa dekad, kegagalan kerajaan, pengawal selia dan industri telah menjadikan Menara Grenfell sebagai "perangkap maut" di mana 72 orang kehilangan nyawa.Siasatan awam mengenai kebakaran 2017 mendapati tiada "punca tunggal" tragedi itu, tetapi mengatakan gabungan syarikat yang tidak jujur, pengawal selia yang lemah atau tidak cekap dan kerajaan yang lalai telah menyebabkan bangunan itu diliputi dengan pelapisan mudah terbakar yang mengubah kebakaran kecil di sebuah pangsapuri menjadi kebakaran yang paling dahsyat di tanah Britain sejak Perang Dunia II.Ketua siasatan, Hakim bersara Martin Moore-Bick, berkata kematian itu boleh dielakkan dan "semua menyumbang kepadanya dengan cara yang berbeza, dalam kebanyakan kes melalui ketidakcekapan tetapi dalam beberapa kes melalui ketidakjujuran dan ketamakan." memohon maaf bagi pihak negara British, dengan mengatakan tragedi itu "tidak sepatutnya berlaku" dan berjanji untuk bertindak atas cadangan dalam laporan itu."Hari ini adalah hari yang ditunggu-tunggu untuk kebenaran tetapi ia mesti membawa kepada hari keadilan," katanya kepada Parlimen.Walaupun laporan itu mungkin memberi mangsa hidup beberapa jawapan yang telah lama mereka cari, mereka perlu menunggu untuk melihat sama ada sesiapa yang bertanggungjawab akan didakwa. Polis akan mengkaji kesimpulan siasatan sebelum membuat keputusan mengenai tuduhan, yang mungkin termasuk pembunuhan tidak sengaja korporat atau individu.Mereka berkata pendakwaan tidak mungkin berlaku sebelum lewat 2026.Natasha Elcock dari kumpulan Grenfell United menggesa pihak berkuasa untuk memberikan keadilan."Kami membayar harga untuk ketidakjujuran sistematik, ketidakpedulian institusi dan pengabaian," kata Elcock, seorang mangsa hidup yang kehilangan bapa saudaranya dalam kebakaran itu.Kebakaran itu berlaku pada awal pagi 14 Jun 2017, di sebuah pangsapuri tingkat empat dan merebak ke bangunan 25 tingkat seperti sumbu yang menyala, didorong oleh panel pelapisan mudah terbakar di dinding luar.Tragedi itu mengejutkan negara dan menimbulkan satu soalan utama, kata laporan itu: "Bagaimana mungkin di London pada abad ke-21 sebuah bangunan konkrit bertetulang, yang strukturnya kalis api, berubah menjadi perangkap maut?"Pengejaran jawapan memfokuskan pada pembaikan yang selesai pada tahun 2016 yang meliputi bangunan 1970-an dengan aluminium dan pelapisan polietilena - lapisan penebat buih yang di atasnya terdapat dua kepingan aluminium yang disandarkan di sekeliling lapisan polietilena, polimer plastik mudah terbakar yang mencair dan menitis apabila terdedah kepada haba.Laporan itu sangat mengkritik syarikat yang membuat pelapisan tersebut. Ia berkata mereka terlibat dalam "ketidakjujuran sistematik," memanipulasi ujian keselamatan dan salah menyatakan hasilnya untuk mendakwa bahan itu selamat.Ia berkata pengeluar penebat Celotex tidak bermoral, dan satu lagi firma penebat, Kingspan, "secara sinis mengeksploitasi kekurangan pengetahuan terperinci dalam industri itu." Pembuat panel pelapisan Arconic "menyembunyikan dari pasaran tahap bahaya yang sebenarnya," kata laporan itu.Ketiga-tiga syarikat itu menyatakan simpati kepada keluarga yang berduka, tetapi semua menafikan tanggungjawab atas kematian itu. Arconic berkata produknya tidak tidak selamat. Kingspan berkata "kegagalan sejarah" mereka tidak "menjadi punca tragedi itu." Celotex berkata keputusan untuk menggabungkan penebat mereka dengan panel pelapisan mudah terbakar telah dibuat oleh orang lain.Siasatan itu berkata pelapisan mudah terbakar itu digunakan kerana ia murah dan kerana "ketidakcekapan organisasi dan individu yang terlibat dalam pembaikan" -– termasuk arkitek, jurutera dan kontraktor -– yang semuanya menganggap keselamatan adalah tanggungjawab orang lain.Ia menyimpulkan bahawa kegagalan itu berganda kerana badan yang bertanggungjawab untuk menguatkuasakan standard bangunan lemah, pihak berkuasa tempatan tidak berminat dan kerajaan UK yang "lalai" -– yang diketuai dalam tujuh tahun sebelum kebakaran itu oleh Parti Konservatif -– mengabaikan amaran keselamatan kerana komitmen terhadap deregulasi.Siasatan itu telah mengadakan lebih daripada 300 pendengaran awam dan mengkaji sekitar 1,600 kenyataan saksi.Laporan awal yang diterbitkan pada tahun 2019 mengkritik jabatan bomba kerana pada mulanya menyuruh penduduk untuk tinggal di tempat dan menunggu penyelamat. Menjelang masa nasihat itu diubah, sudah terlambat bagi ramai di tingkat atas untuk melarikan diri.Brigad Bomba London menerima kritikan selanjutnya untuk "kekurangan pengurusan dan kepimpinan yang berkesan secara kronik," latihan yang lemah dalam kebakaran bangunan tinggi dan peralatan komunikasi yang ketinggalan zaman.Tragedi Grenfell mendorong renungan jiwa tentang ketidaksamaan di Britain. Grenfell adalah bangunan perumahan awam yang terletak di salah satu daripada , berhampiran butik-butik mahal dan rumah-rumah elegan Notting Hill. Mangsa-mangsa, kebanyakannya orang bukan kulit putih, datang dari 23 negara dan termasuk pemandu teksi dan arkitek, seorang penyair, seorang artis muda yang terkenal, pesara dan 18 kanak-kanak.Laporan itu berkata siasatan itu "tidak melihat sebarang bukti bahawa mana-mana keputusan yang membawa kepada penciptaan bangunan yang berbahaya atau penyebaran kebakaran yang dahsyat dipengaruhi oleh prasangka kaum atau sosial," walaupun ia berkata badan awam yang mengurus Grenfell telah gagal untuk memperlakukan penduduk dengan "pemahaman dan hormat."Perdana Menteri berkata tragedi itu "menimbulkan persoalan asas tentang jenis negara kita, sebuah negara di mana suara rakyat kelas pekerja dan orang bukan kulit putih telah berulang kali diabaikan dan ditolak.Selepas kebakaran itu, kerajaan UK mengharamkan panel pelapisan komposit logam untuk bangunan baru dan mengarahkan pelapisan mudah terbakar yang serupa untuk dikeluarkan dari ratusan blok menara di seluruh negara. Tetapi kerja itu belum dilakukan di beberapa bangunan pangsapuri kerana pertikaian mengenai siapa yang harus membayar.Starmer berkata kerja itu telah "sangat, sangat lambat."Laporan itu membuat beberapa cadangan, termasuk peraturan keselamatan kebakaran yang lebih ketat, kolej kebombaan dan penyelamat negara dan satu pengawal selia bebas untuk industri pembinaan untuk menggantikan kumpulan badan yang ada sekarang.Menara yang runtuh, yang berdiri selama beberapa bulan selepas kebakaran seperti batu nisan hitam di kaki langit barat London, masih berdiri, ditutup dengan kepingan putih. Sebuah jantung hijau dan perkataan "Grenfell forever in our hearts" dipaparkan di bahagian atas.Sandra Ruiz, yang anak saudaranya berusia 12 tahun, Jessica Urbano Ramirez, meninggal dunia dalam kebakaran itu, berkata bahawa "bagi saya, tidak ada keadilan tanpa orang dipenjarakan.""Hidup kami hancur pada malam itu. Orang perlu dipertanggungjawabkan," katanya. "Orang yang telah membuat keputusan dengan mengutamakan keuntungan berbanding keselamatan orang ramai perlu dipenjarakan."Artikel ini disediakan oleh pembekal kandungan pihak ketiga.

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.

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.
