LexisNexis® Emailage® Adaptive uses tailored AI models to continuously learn from fraud patterns unique to each institution with no manual calibration.
ATLANTA, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LexisNexis® Risk Solutions’ latest self-calibrating, AI-powered risk scoring solution is helping identify more actual fraud and significantly reducing the volume of low-risk transactions being flagged as fraud.
In testing, the fully AI-model based architecture analyzed email, IP, phone, address and other signals, capturing around 90% of frauds amongst the highest risk transactions while reducing false positives by more than 80%.
Emailage® Adaptive is a fully AI-enabled solution that continuously learns from each organization’s unique set of transaction data, fraud patterns and industry context. It responds by building iterative tailored fraud prevention models that automatically recalibrate with no manual intervention, to generate more precise risk scores and support better predictive accuracy. It is designed to operate across a range of industries and high-risk scenarios, such as account opening, account management and payments.
With consumers having 7.9 billion email accounts globally and one third keeping their email address for more than 10 years, analyzing history and patterns of usage can provide powerful and unique insights when used alongside other risk intelligence.
As an example, Dell Technologies, one of the world’s largest brands, has successfully doubled its high-risk fraud capture rates and reduced manual reviews of low-risk transactions by 83% since implementing Emailage Adaptive to support risk decisions.
“The self-calibrating AI model has helped us modernize fraud prevention by minimizing reliance on static rules and manual policy adjustments,” says Jeremy Cole, director, business operations, Dell Technologies. “Our fraud team can now calibrate less, act faster and approve more legitimate transactions with confidence.”
The launch comes at a time when fraud costs are on the rise. One in every 11 new account creations globally is a fraudulent attempt, according to LexisNexis® Risk Solutions Cybercrime Report 2026.
Built firmly on principles of explainability, the AI model-based architecture of Emailage Adaptive relies on a regular flow of customer transaction data, industry trends and emerging fraud patterns to drive a continuous improvement loop. This reliable data allows models to refine over time and generate explainable risk scores supported by clear reason codes.
“As generative AI scales, fraud attacks are now happening at a faster rate than most manual prevention strategies can keep pace with, overwhelming systems and exposing businesses to ever greater risk,” said Kimberly Sutherland global head of fraud and identity at LexisNexis Risk Solutions. “By continuously learning from fraud outcomes, backed by cross industry risk intelligence, a self-calibrating fraud model can adjust instantly to subtle changes in fraud patterns, removing the lag between when patterns emerge and when defenses calibrate. This allows fraud teams to continually enhance predictive accuracy while reducing manual workload.”
What sets Emailage Adaptive apart?
Tailored AI models utilize global transaction data and substantiated customer feedback, automatically recalibrating as new patterns are confirmed.Transparent scoring provides clear reason codes indicating whether a specific factor positively or negatively influenced the model’s output.Responsible AI by design supports explainability, helps mitigate bias and helps protect data privacy, drawing on reliable data sources.
Emailage Adaptive earned the 2025 Platinum Award for AI in Fraud Prevention Innovation and the 2026 Platinum Award for Payments Fraud Prevention Innovation. Both awards, from Juniper Research, recognized the solution for its adaptive AI capabilities and ability to deliver precise risk assessments alongside seamless customer experiences.

CEO’s, Founders of MSMEs & SMEs take part in CEO Under Fire event at Chandigarh University; Gives leadership tips to B-School students
CHANDIGARH, India, Oct. 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — To equip students with applicable insights and practical skills for crisis management, Chandigarh University (CU) hosted ‘CEO Under Fire X’, India’s first ultimate corporate crisis championship, bringing together management students from about 150 institutions across the country for an immersive platform to act as CEOs managing simulated high-stakes business emergencies designed and test their critical thinking, strategic decision-making, problem solving, collaboration, leadership and business communication skills under pressure in a dynamic corporate environment.
The dignitaries who graced the launch of ‘CEO Under Fire X’, organized by CU’s University School of Business (USB), included Sham Kumar, Co-Founder & COO – Aerial Telecom Solutions; Gaurav Malik, President, Homeland Group; Asit Prakash Sharma, Vice President – CX Capability & Presales Leader, Tech Mahindra; Zubair Chaudhary, Founder & CEO, Einstellen.AI; Vatsalya Chaturvedi, Director & CEO – MintSteer; Rohit Gupta, Director Grant Thornton; Prof (Dr) Satbir Singh Sehgal, Vice-Chancellor, Chandigarh University and Prof (Dr) Nilesh Arora, Executive Director, Management, Chandigarh University.
As a part of the ‘CEO Under Fire X’, CU’s University School of Business (USB) also hosted ‘CXO Summit 2026’, bringing together Startup Founders, CEOs, Co-Founders and Managing Directors from various business domains including finance, telecom, real-estate and human resource to share their perspectives on leadership, strategic excellence, digital innovation and measurable business outcomes. On the occasion, the University School of Business (USB), Chandigarh University, unveiled its Centre of Excellence ‘AURA’ – Centre for AI-Driven Universal Business Re-engineering & Analytics and also launched its first professional skill certification programme ‘Generative and Agentic AI for Business Applications’ in collaboration with Grant Thornton, as a part operational launch of the CoE.
The first round of ‘CEO Under Fire X’ titled ‘Shock Wave – Face the Crises’ witnessed participation from around 150 teams representing institutions across Punjab, Haryana, Maharashtra, Delhi, Jammu & Kashmir and other parts of the country. The prominent institutions represented in the championship included Amity University, Bennett University, Thapar Institute, Graphic Era University, Rayat Bahra University, Indira Global School of Business, Savitribai Phule Pune University, Panipat Institute of Engineering & Technology (PIET) and University of Jammu.
In second round of the championship, ‘Decision Under Pressure’ at CU Campus, top 50 teams assumed roles of various stakeholders such as investors, board members, regulators and business partners, creating a realistic corporate crisis boardroom experience before the judging panel. Top 10 teams worked on live corporate crisis situations in limited time during the final round ‘CEO Verdict: Grand Finale – CEO Hot Seat’ in which participants assumed the role of a CEO and defended the team’s decision before the judges.
On the basis of performance in rapid-fire questioning, decisive leadership, judgement and communication under pressure, Indira Global School of Business Pune team ‘Boardroom Wizards’ secured first position while the second and third position was bagged by Amity University’s team ‘Business Mavericks’ and Chandigarh University team ‘Titans’ respectively.
Participating in a panel discussion on ‘Leading Through AI, Market Disruption & the Future of Business’, Sham Kumar, Co-Founder & COO, Aerial Telecom Solutions urged the youth to embrace and learn new technologies like AI which help in resolving customer problems, reduces costs, boosts productivity. He said, “AI will affect mundane jobs, so adding AI as a skill set can also create jobs. Anyone not accepting AI may find it difficult but somebody who adds AI as a skill set to his knowledge base can definitely prosper and do better jobs. This applies both to organisations and individuals.”
Asit Prakash Sharma, Vice President, CX Capability and Presales Leader, Tech Mahindra said, “Today’s generation is fortunate to have been born in the digital era. I have witnessed three generations of technology: the first, when there was no technology or AI; the second, characterized by digitization and basic automation; and the third, the current era of Generative AI and Agentic AI. This shift is transforming consumer and buyer behavior. Companies are no longer seeking mere optimization or incremental improvements; they are asking to reimagine and transform entire processes. Whether it involves deploying 20 AI agents alongside 10 people or utilizing 100 AI agents without any human intervention, what matters to the customer is the outcome. So it’s not about increment and improvement, it’s about the leap of faith which companies are forced to take. There is no escape from AI.”
Gaurav Malik, President, Homeland Group said, “AI can enhance and accelerate the learning process but cannot replace human experience. AI can provide data, charts, and recommendations, the tasks of engaging with people in the market, making decisions, and taking responsibility for their outcomes remain inherently human. In the real estate sector, AI is being utilized to better understand and optimize market dynamics, customer needs, competitor activities, and business operations; however, the final decision rests with the customer. Building a trustworthy and transparent relationship with the customer, maintaining clarity regarding products and future goals, and fulfilling one’s obligations are aspects that cannot be fully digitized or automated. AI will prove to be extremely beneficial for the real estate industry, but it cannot fully replace years of experience.”
Zubair Chaudhary, Founder & CEO – Einstellen.AI said, “Even since AI has come into the picture, we are still catching up with the way the technology is evolving. As a startup ecosystem, technology is secondary as our main priority should be the problem that needs to be solved. So, we should not wait for technology to evolve and rather focus on what are the business problems that we are solving as a startup ecosystem. When you go out in the market, identify a problem, solve it and there is somebody that is going to pay for it.”
Vatsalya Chaturvedi, Director & CEO – MintSteer said, “AI platforms can enhance a user’s capability to provide solutions in a better way but core skills matter the most in a business. AI can only help you, you know, enjoy the dish, but you have to prepare the dish for which you should know the ingredients. You should know what your skills are bringing to the table to help the customer and how can your core skills enhance it with AI.”
In his welcome address, Prof (Dr) Satbir Singh Sehgal, Vice-Chancellor, Chandigarh University said, “Chandigarh University integrates experiential learning through hands-on workshops, industry collaborations, and real-world projects which bridge the gap between theory and practice. In line with this, ‘CEO Under Fire X’, India’s First Corporate Crisis Championship, is an excellent opportunity for management students to hone their leadership skills and put to practice all the classroom learning. I am sure the hands-on learning experience gained during this championship will equip students with applicable insights and practical skills for navigating critical moments during a real-world corporate crisis.”

EXTRAORDINARY GENERAL MEETING OF SHAREHOLDERS
GENTOO MEDIA INC.
2 November 2026
Information on resolutions related to agenda items
The Board of Directors, and, in relation to agenda items 2, 8, and 9, the Nomination Committee, set out below further information on the resolutions proposed for adoption by the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders. The Nomination Committee’s full reasoning in relation to agenda items 8 and 9 has been enclosed in this Notice.
(a) Agenda Item 2 – Chairman of the meeting
The Nomination Committee proposes that the Chairman of the Board, Mikael Harstad, is appointed as Chairman of the Extraordinary General Meeting of Shareholders.
(b) Agenda Item 7 – Resolution to approve the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Gentoo Media Inc;
The Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to approve the Third Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Gentoo Media Inc to:
(i) increase the number of authorized shares of the Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), from 200,000,000 shares to 250,000,000 shares, and (ii) authorize an additional class of common stock, $0.001 par value per share, of the Company, to be designated “Class Z Common Stock,” consisting of an additional 100,000,000 shares.
Following the proposed amendment, the Company’s authorised share capital will be composed of 250,000,000 shares of Common Stock and 100,000,000 shares of Class Z Common Stock. For the elimination of doubt, the number of shares of Class Z Common Stock in issue will at no time exceed the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock as the shares in the new class are expected, following a mandatory lock-in period, to be converted to shares of Common Stock.
The amendment is proposed to create sufficient authorised, unissued share capital — including the new Class Z Common Stock class — to accommodate a directed issue of new unlisted shares which the Board of Directors is intends to carry out, subject to EGM approval and other regulatory approvals. The share issue will be fully underwritten by (i) MJ Foundation Fundacja Rodzinna (“MJF”), (ii) Fundacja Zbigniewa Juroszka Fundacja Rodzinna (“ZJF”) and (iii) Betplay Capital Fundacja Rodzinna (“Betplay”), each acting directly and/or through a designated affiliate (each a “Backstop Provider” and together the “Backstop Providers”), who have undertaken to subscribe for the pro-rate number of subscription rights allocated to them and further to any shares not taken up by other eligible shareholders. The Backstop Providers are amongst the Company’s largest shareholders, and 2 members of the Board of the Company are affiliated with them. The 2 members of the Board have not taken any part in the negotiations or deliberations with the Backstop Providers related to their underwriting commitment of a prospective share issue.
The rationale for the Company proposing that Class Z Common Stock be unlisted and subject to a mandatory lock-up period of 12 months is to comply with Regulation S exemption under U.S. securities law.
(c) Agenda Item 8 — Number of members of the Board of Directors
Following the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to increase the number of members of the Board of Directors from four (4) to five (5), for the period until the end of the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
The Nomination Committee’s reasoned statement is enclosed to this Notice and is also available here: https://www.gentoomedia.com/shareholder-meetings/
(d) Agenda Item 9 — Election of a new member of the Board of Directors
Following the recommendation of the Nomination Committee, the Board of Directors proposes that the EGM resolves to elect Łukasz Wójciak as a new member of the Board of Directors, to serve for the period until the end of the Company’s next Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mikael Harstad is proposed to continue as Chairman of the Board.
Information concerning Mr Wójciak, including his background and the Nomination Committee’s assessment of his independence in relation to the Company and its major shareholders, is set out in the Nomination Committee’s reasoned statement enclosed to this Notice which is also available here: https://www.gentoomedia.com/shareholder-meetings/. Information concerning the Company’s existing Board members proposed to continue in office is available on the Company’s website at www.gentoomedia.com/board-of-directors/.
