Issued on behalf of Scope AI Corp.

VANCOUVER, BC, June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — With the advent of the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution, so too comes a major shift across multiple industries. In creative industries, AI is leading to new tools, but also job cuts. Billionaire Steve Cohen and his Point72 Ventures recently laid off its fintech team, in a pivot towards AI. Several investment firms are making this shift as well, including Capital Group, UBS, and SoftBank. Even Goldman Sachs has deployed its first Generative AI tool across the firm for code generation to its thousands of developers by the end of the month. However, another new wrinkle has arrived on the scene, with new allegations of what’s being called “AI washing”, where proprietors claim to be using AI, when in fact their transactions require significant human oversight. Working behind the scenes for real contributions to the AI space are several developers, including Scope AI Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF), SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN, SOUNW), Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA), Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: META), and International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) (NYSE: IBM).

As machine learning technology continues to advance, Scope AI Corp. (CSE: SCPE) (OTCQB: SCPCF) has rebranded and shifted its market focus towards key industries such as advertising, gaming, and neural networks, utilizing its sophisticated GEM (General Enterprise Machine Learning) platform.

Scope AI is progressing its GEM platform to assist businesses in creating customized object detection and visual information systems, harnessing the full capabilities of neural networks. These strategic efforts aim to revolutionize advertising personalization, enhance gaming experiences, and expand various applications of neural networks.

In recent developments, Scope AI has launched significant updates to GEM, designed to better support advertising agencies and the gaming industry. These enhancements concentrate on refining advertising content and improving gameplay through advanced neural network functionalities. By the end of May, Scope AI had collaborated with several leading ad agencies and ad networks to identify and address the main challenges in evaluating ad creative effectiveness, page layouts, and the associated testing costs and complexities.

“Our approach is to start with the pain points of our potential users and build solutions based on those insights,” said James Young, CEO of Scope AI Corp. “We believe in understanding the real-world challenges faced by our partners, rather than falling into the common software trap of ‘build it and they will come.’ This collaboration ensures that GEM is not just another tool, but a solution that addresses the specific needs of the advertising community.”

Scope AI is entering the advertising industry at a crucial moment, as global advertising leaders contend with the rapid rise of AI technology. A significant concern is that the prevalent use of AI-generated images could lead to a lack of uniqueness. Scope AI’s GEM technology is designed to address this issue, helping ad executives to better differentiate and execute their campaigns.

GEM’s sophisticated object visual recognition capabilities are designed to offer businesses deeper insights and more accurate solutions. Consequently, advertisers could enhance their ability to analyze consumer behavior and improve their campaigns, while game developers could create more captivating and immersive user experiences.

“We’re very pleased at how seamless we were able to streamline, enhance, and strengthen our platform with the latest performance and security upgrades made to our infrastructure,” said Sean Prescott, Founder and Non-Executive Chairman of Scope AI. “The next generation of our platform will set us apart in what kind of data and its sensitivity we can process and store. It’s a potential game-changer for the industry.”

Looking to further enhance the drive-through ordering experience for fast food franchises, global leader in voice AI, SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN, SOUNW), recently acquired food-ordering platform Allset to position itself as a full ecosystem for ordering food through cars, TVs, and smart devices. Allset is a food ordering platform, founded in 2015, and designed for local pick-up, providing a seamless, cost-effective dining experience that allows both consumers and restaurants to bypass the high fees charged by delivery apps.

“As a business, Allset will help SoundHound bring voice AI solutions to even more restaurants looking to improve operational efficiency,” said Keyvan Mohajer, CEO and Co-Founder of SoundHound AI. “Together, we plan to provide dynamic and convenient ways for people to order food and complete a range of other transactions just by speaking naturally.”

In an effort to speed up app development on its Alibaba Cloud platform, Alibaba Group Holding Limited (NYSE: BABA) recently introduced its first “AI programmer”, powered by the company’s self-developed large language model (LLM).

“The development paradigm for software applications is changing,” said Xu Dong, general manager of Alibaba Cloud’s Tongyi Qianwen LLM service. “In the future, users only need to identify problems and express requirements, and completing an application development in minutes will become the norm.”

Following up on this, Alibaba recently committed to scaling AI tools for Micro-, Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise (MSME) Day. Emphasizing its commitment to aiding MSMEs, Alibaba.com has announced the deployment of AI tools for its global suppliers. These tools have already been embraced by approximately 30,000 businesses on the platform.

“As a member of the private sector, we are honored to have worked alongside international agencies such as ITC and supported MSMEs worldwide over the past 25 years,” said Kuo Zhang, President of Alibaba.com. “As we promote wider adoption of our AI tools amongst MSMEs, we also hope to expand our global supplier base to cover 100,000 suppliers in the next three years. In a nutshell, we are building a global supply chain by and for MSMEs leveraging AI.”

For Meta Platforms, Inc. (NASDAQ: META), a bold effort to improve its own AI aspirations is garnering plenty of pushback, as its plan to train its AI model on European data derived from Facebook is generating privacy concerns. Meta’s AI training initiatives face challenges due to strict European Union data privacy regulations, which grant individuals control over their personal data usage.

AI language models undergo training on extensive datasets, enabling them to predict the most likely next word in a sentence. Typically, newer versions are more advanced and efficient than their earlier counterparts. Meta has integrated its AI assistant into Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp for users in the U.S. and 13 other countries, excluding Europe.

“If we don’t train our models on the public content that Europeans share on our services and others, such as public posts or comments, then models and the AI features they power won’t accurately understand important regional languages, cultures or trending topics on social media,” said Stefano Fratta, global engagement director of Meta’s privacy policy, said in blog post. “We believe that Europeans will be ill-served by AI models that are not informed by Europe’s rich cultural, social and historical contributions.”

According to analysts at Goldman Sachs, International Business Machines Corporation (IBM) (NYSE: IBM) could grow its market share as its AI investments continue to pay off. Among its accomplishments, IBM is considered the leader in the quantum computing segment with its continued advancements in hardware, software, and systems technologies, especially through its watsonx platform.

Recently IBM announced a partnership with WPP to launch a new business-to-business (B2B) solution powered by watsonx designed to reinvent how B2B marketers identify and engage clients and prospects across the buying journey. Dubbed WPP Open for B2B, the platform will help marketers solve complex B2B marketing challenges, accurately identify and engage buying groups, and improve clients’ return on investment (ROI).

“B2B marketers have been focused on creating truly personalized, relevant and consistent experiences for buying groups at scale for years,” said Jonathan Adashek, Senior Vice President of Marketing and Communications at IBM. “We are excited to create and use these new, powerful and trusted AI solutions to deliver a force multiplier for B2B marketing.”

Statement – Leaders’ call on the fight against cancer

Published

on

By

ÉVIAN, France , June 16, 2026 /CNW/ – “We, the Leaders of the G7, reaffirm our commitment to accelerate the fight against cancer. Partner countries of the G7, Brazil, Egypt, India, Kenya, and the Republic of Korea, also support this call on the fight against cancer.

Cancer kills nearly 10 million people each year worldwide and new cases are projected to increase by 80 per cent globally by 2050, given the aging of the population and its interactions with environmental and behavioural risk factors, placing an ever-greater burden on societies, health systems and economies. Improvements in access to cancer prevention – including through screening, diagnosis and care – can and should be made. While major scientific advances have been achieved in several critical areas, progress should be accelerated by alignment of research efforts and faster translation of innovation into care. In this regard, we welcome that such advances have brought the elimination of cervical cancer within reach and we will accelerate our efforts to that end.

We are determined to deepen international scientific cooperation, close persistent gaps in prevention and early detection, and ensure that progress in oncology reaches every patient. While acknowledging our existing financing efforts and the shared global responsibility, where we have taken a leadership role, we commit to strengthening our endeavours to advance cancer research and development.

We commend the scientific advances made through international, regional and national initiatives. We have made concrete progress on aligning our cancer research programmes, strengthening collaboration between leading cancer institutes and advancing interoperable data standards for paediatric and adolescent cancers.  

Accelerating international data access for paediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers

We recognise that no single country possesses sufficient data to generate robust evidence across the full range of paediatric, adolescent and young adult tumour types. Building on existing international, regional and national initiatives – in accordance with our legislation, priorities, capacities and resources, and in compliance with applicable rules on privacy, data protection and intellectual property rights – we intend to work towards:

Promoting collaboration between existing data resources and programmes, where appropriate, to bridge national registries, advance interoperability standards and enable responsible cross-border data collaboration, in accordance with applicable legal and regulatory frameworks while respecting national competences.Supporting large-scale, multi-dimensional data integration, including clinical, genomic and imaging data, which enables safe and secure data use without the necessity for direct data transfer, drawing on artificial intelligence, where appropriate and according to legal regulatory frameworks.Building on existing international, regional and national initiatives to avoid duplication, close gaps and strengthen international research collaboration for paediatric, adolescent and young adult cancers.

Intensifying our fight against cancers with poor prognosis

We recognise that mortality from cancers with poor prognosis is one of the foremost global scientific challenges. Building on existing international, regional and national initiatives, we intend to work towards:

Supporting research on cancers with poor prognosis and the work towards establishing a shared international definition and research agenda for cancers with poor prognosis, recognising them as a major global challenge.Setting ambitious targets for the roll out of screening programmes and for the diagnosis of more cancers at stage 1, as appropriate within national health systems and country contexts, to improve survival rates for cancers with poor prognosis, and in particular to significantly reduce lung cancer mortality in the next ten years.Fostering innovative international research programmes, improving cooperation on clinical trials and accelerating the translation of scientific advances – including through digital technologies, artificial intelligence and quantum research – into clinical practice for patients.

Strengthening access to quality cancer care for all

We recognize that access to quality cancer care for all remains a pressing challenge. We intend to work towards:

Supporting country-led efforts to strengthen resilient and self-reliant health systems capable of delivering high-quality cancer care for all.Encouraging the development of comprehensive cancer centres, as anchors of research excellence, care quality and education internationally.Promoting the secure, responsible and trustworthy use of evidence-based digital technologies, artificial intelligence and quantum research to improve early detection, support clinical decision-making, strengthen palliative care and expand the reach of evidence-based care for all, while preserving patients’ privacy.

We will remain engaged and review progress on these commitments.

This call for action reflects the outcome of the discussion between G7 members, benefiting from productive exchanges of views with partner countries.”

Opsera Launches BrickForge by Opsera, a Purpose-Built AI Operational Command Center for Enterprise Data Teams, on Databricks Marketplace

Built on the Databricks platform, BrickForge delivers a unified operational command center for Databricks environments

SAN FRANCISCO, June 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Databricks Data + AI Summit – Opsera, the leader in AI-powered software delivery, today announced the availability of BrickForge on Databricks Marketplace, an open marketplace for data, analytics, and AI, powered by OpenSharing. A purpose-built AI Application, BrickForge gives enterprise data teams what they have been missing: a native command center to observe, diagnose, fix, and govern their entire Databricks estate — without adding infrastructure or touching business data.

Opsera will showcase BrickForge at the Databricks Data + AI Summit, Booth #223. To learn more, visit opsera.ai/brickforge.

The trigger is real. A recent Databricks State of AI Agents report stated that 80% of databases on its platform are now created by agents, not humans. As organizations produce more data products and pipelines alongside this agentic growth, operational complexity grows with it — compliance posture drifts, SQL workloads accumulate security exposure, recovery plans go untested, and deployments introduce configuration risk.

BrickForge addresses that through the BrickForge Operational Loop — a four-stage continuous process for governing Databricks estates at the pace of AI:

Observe: Live Databricks health monitoring across every cluster, job, Delta Live Tables (DLT) pipeline, warehouse, and AI endpoints. When something drifts or degrades, teams see it before it becomes an incident. No log-diving. No waiting for users to report errors.

Diagnose: AI-assisted root-cause analysis that surfaces the exact issue — configuration drift, a YAML delta, a SQL vulnerability, a compliance control slipping — with prioritized remediation options before engineers are paged.

Fix: Human-authorized remediation in minutes, not hours. Declarative Automation Bundles (DABs) generation, 3-stage YAML validation, multi-environment promotion and migration — every action is version-controlled, auditable, and executed with explicit confirmation.

Govern: Continuous posture monitoring against SOC 2, HIPAA, PCI-DSS, and ISO 27001. Per-control verdicts, evidence citations, audit-ready reporting, AI-generated Disaster Recovery plans, workspace replication, and executable RTO/RPO drills — so compliance and resilience are always current, not a fire drill.

“The way enterprises operate their data estate hasn’t kept pace with how fast AI agents are generating pipelines and products,” said Kumar Chivukula, co-founder and CEO of Opsera. “Bringing BrickForge to the Databricks Marketplace gives data teams an operational command center to observe, diagnose, remediate, and govern — with compliance, policy, operational health and disaster recovery built in.”

BrickForge runs natively inside a customer’s existing Databricks tenant under a Zero Business Data Contact principle — evaluating metadata and infrastructure patterns, not row-level data. No new infrastructure. No data egress Data Processing Agreement (DPA). No new vendor trust boundary. What typically takes weeks of security reviews and months of architecture approvals is compressed to days.

“Customers consistently ask us for easier, more secure ways to discover, access, and share data and AI assets across their organizations and ecosystems,” said Stephen Orban, SVP, Product Ecosystem & Partnerships at Databricks. “By bringing BrickForge to the Databricks Marketplace, Opsera and Databricks are helping our joint customers accelerate innovation and unlock more value from their data on an open, governed platform.”

BrickForge extends the company’s AI-SDLC platform — which includes the Forge AI software factory — to enterprise data teams, adding operational governance and intelligence to the full software and data delivery lifecycles.

About Opsera 
Opsera helps enterprises operationalize AI-driven software delivery through its AI-SDLC platform, combining intelligent orchestration, operational intelligence, and an open ecosystem of AI tools and partners. By understanding the intent and context of development workflows, Opsera empowers teams to embrace spec-driven development and leverage agentic workflows to automate complex pipelines safely. By helping customers navigate their AI journey at their own pace, Opsera enables organizations to govern, measure, and scale AI-generated software with confidence.
