BEIJING, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — A news report from China.org.cn on comic star’s understanding of comedy:

What is comedy about?

https://youtu.be/1zCb3_eG42Y

Comedy not only provokes laughter, but also should make you think, said Chen Peisi, one of China’s best-known comedians.

"Chinese audiences have lots of choices when it comes to shows that make you laugh," he says. "People need to laugh in this high-pressure social environment. Lots of small drama companies are popping up, and you can watch comedy performances nearly every day."

Chen, however, points out that only good comedies with sincere thoughts can make people laugh from their hearts. Plain jokes and rigid plots are not the true spirit of comedy, he says.

What shall people do to create a good comedy?

Chen Peisi believes that it is a serious business, and nice comedy requires good control of the tempo and countless trials, which is tough.

Pioneering in Bringing Cinematic Projection Technology in Compact Design

BREA, Calif., Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — ViewSonic Corp., a leading global provider of visual solutions, introduces the M10 portable RGB laser projector, an innovative addition to its product lineup. The M10 features advanced RGB laser technology to achieve full compliance with 100% BT.2020 standard in a compact and highly mobile format. It ensures vivid imagery with enhanced color saturation, even in a well-lit environment, and delivers exceptional cinematic audiovisual performance with a built-in Harman Kardon customized speaker. Instant auto focus with Time of Flight (ToF) technology and auto horizontal/vertical keystone correction functions allow for a quick hands-free setup, elevating home and on-the-go entertainment experience to new heights with flawless projection. 

"Amid the flourishing home entertainment market, projectors have become a preferred choice that fits into today’s varied lifestyle, offering larger and more flexible screens compared to TVs," said Dean Tsai, General Manager of Projector & LED Display Business Unit at ViewSonic. "To offer users greater flexibility in shaping their audiovisual spaces, we design a compact model with advanced RGB laser technology. The M10’s launch redefines the portable projector market, showcasing our unwavering commitment to innovation and product excellence."

Visual Brilliance in Compact Design with Pioneering RGB Laser Technology

Laser technology is commonly favored for projections requiring higher brightness. Conventional laser projectors emit a single blue laser beam towards the laser phosphor and color wheels, resulting in a limited color range. In contrast, RGB laser technology delivers three primary laser light rays – red, green, and blue, collectively covering a broader color gamut that meets the BT.2020 color standard. This surpasses the requirements of cinema-grade displays adhering to DCI-P3 – the industry standard for digital cinema – to achieve more vibrant and lifelike colors, making it often associated with large-scale cinematic projection.

ViewSonic takes RGB laser projection technology to the next level with M10’s revolutionary design. It ingeniously integrates three primary laser light sources into a single module, allowing a more compact form factor than traditional RGB laser projectors. This innovation mitigates the trade-off between size and performance that truly sets it apart. Additionally, its 2,200 RGB Laser Lumens of brightness ensures clear and vibrant cinematic-level visuals, even under ambient lighting.

Automatic Setup for Effortless Usage 

In addition to premium visual performance, the M10 features intelligent auto-setup functions for seamless usage. It adopts ToF technology which enables instant auto focus, ensuring sharp images within seconds after adjusting the projector’s position. Its auto horizontal/vertical keystone allows users to enjoy a hands-free setup, achieving perfectly shaped images whether the projector is projecting from the side or even up onto the ceiling. 

Beyond its auto-setup functions, this smart portable projector offers a range of versatile usage scenarios. It supports wireless screen mirroring for streaming movies or shows via Wi-Fi from mobile devices; directly connects to smartphones and tablets through a USB-C port; and facilitates ceiling projection without an additional tripod – perfect for those who enjoy a relaxing ambience while in bed. Furthermore, it functions as a Bluetooth speaker for outdoor parties with a high-quality built-in Harman Kardon speaker and can pair with headphones for personal entertainment all night long.

Sumsub’s annual Identity Fraud Report sheds light on the evolving nature of digital fraud and potential trends for businesses and regulations

SINGAPORE, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Sumsub, a full-cycle verification platform, today released its third annual Identity Fraud Report. The report revealed that the APAC region has experienced a 1530% surge in deepfake cases from 2022 to 2023, marking it as the second-highest region in this concerning trend. In addition to this insight, the report highlights a growing trend in sophisticated scams and money laundering cases globally, underscoring the necessity to address and combat evolving fraud patterns.

https://static.prnasia.com/pro/fec/jwplayer-7.12.1/jwplayer.js jwplayer.key=”3Fznr2BGJZtpwZmA+81lm048ks6+0NjLXyDdsO2YkfE=”   jwplayer(‘myplayer1’).setup({file: ‘https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2286842/Identity_Fraud_Report_Long_Tieser.mp4’, image: ‘https://mma.prnasia.com/media2/2286842/Identity_Fraud_Report_Long_Tieser.mp4?p=thumbnail’, autostart:’false’, stretching : ‘uniform’, width: ‘512’, height: ‘288’});

Identity Fraud Main Trends and Statistics for 2023

Other key findings from the report include:

Indonesia, Hong Kong, and Cambodia have witnessed a more than two-fold increase in identity fraud percentages from 2021 to 2023. Bangladesh and Pakistan have the highest fraud rates in both APAC and the world in 2023, with rates of 5.44% and 4.59% respectively. Singapore stands out for successfully reducing its fraud rate in 2023, maintaining a low level of 0.89%. Japan, Australia and Thailand have maintained their fraud rates at under 2% over 2021-2023. There’s been a significant 10x increase in the number of deepfakes detected globally across all industries from 2022 to 2023, with notable regional differences: 1740% deepfake surge in North America, 1530% in APAC, 780% in Europe (including UK), 450% in MEA and 410% in Latin America. The top-5 identity fraud types in 2023 are: AI-powered fraud, money muling[1] networks, fake IDs, account takeovers and forced verification[2]. Online media is the industry with the highest identity fraud increase (274%) between 2021 and 2023.

Artificial Intelligence and Deepfakes: A Growing Threat

With AI-driven fraud remaining the most prominent challenge across various industries, crypto is the main target sector (representing 88% of all deepfake cases detected in 2023), followed by fintech (8%). In the APAC region, Vietnam and Japan rank the highest for the prevalence of deepfake fraud. Japan, in particular, had notable widespread use of deepfakes in the entertainment sector, while Vietnam, with its rapidly growing digital economy and online-native population, stands as an appealing target for fraudsters.

To combat the prevalence of AI-powered fraud, countries are proactively introducing measures and regulations aimed at safeguarding businesses and individuals from the harmful impacts of AI – such as the effects of deepfakes. For instance, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority (HKMA) published a circular with enhanced measures to defend e-banking from fraudsters in October 2023 which includes enhanced monitoring for suspicious transactions and additional customer authentication.

"The rise of AI presents a paradox. While it can be wielded for malicious purposes, it also stands as an ally for anti-fraud solution providers. The key to ensuring that AI contributes positively to society lies in the establishment of robust regulations and policy guidelines. These measures are crucial for creating an environment conducive to responsible technology use. At Sumsub, we advocate for close collaboration between businesses and regulators, to foster a future of innovation that aligns with compliance standards," comments Penny Chai, Vice President of Business Development, APAC, at Sumsub.

Verification and Identity Fraud Prevention in 2024: Expert Insights

The report also echoed that AI will be a key focus for regulators in 2024. For instance, China is known to have pioneered deepfake regulation, with the "Regulations on the Administration of Deep Synthesis of Internet Information Services" approved by the Chinese Cyberspace Administration Authority (CAC) in December 2022 and having come into force in August 2023.

Other trends forecasted in the report include the necessity for more robust regulatory responses, an increased emphasis on non-document verification to offer diverse options for confirming identities, online media implementing stricter rules regarding identification, the mandatory need for local authorities to enhance data security and personal information, and the rise of network analysis as a tool to uncover fraud.

SINGAPORE, Nov. 29, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Wonder Technologies PTE. LTD ("Wonder Tech" or "the Company"), a leading AI-driven mental health solutions company based in Singapore, has reached a breakthrough in its acoustics-based AI for depression screening. The AI model, which identifies depression through detecting nuanced vocal changes, has reached an industry-leading 83% in detection accuracy, surpassing the 80% threshold required for clinical depression detection. With this milestone, Wonder Tech has proven its potential to enable a scalable and adaptable diagnostic tool to help the one billion people affected by mental health disorders worldwide.

By analyzing a 60-second voice sample, Wonder Tech’s voice AI platform can detect and continuously monitor the risk of mental health conditions, categorized on varying levels of severity, to enable personalized treatment in a clinically reliable and scalable way.

This breakthrough was achieved in collaboration with Prof. John Wong at the National University Hospital (NUH) as well as Singapore’s top psychology and medical research institutes. Wonder Tech also received financial and clinical support from Singapore’s Ministry of Health to scale out the solution with leading mental health institutes.

Wonder Tech’s AI model is unique in that it’s pure acoustics-based rather than language-based. Since it does not rely on the content of speech and only requires a 60-second voice sample, the AI model can effortlessly adapt to virtually all languages while maintaining clinical accuracy. Additionally, the solution is hardware-independent, allowing implementation on consumer-grade smart devices, such as smartphones. These flexible features address the critical issues of adaptability and scalability, significantly improving accessibility to an accurate and immediate depression diagnostic tool.

Depression can cause psychomotor function changes that impair cognitive and vocal cord functions. The effects are often exhibited in pitch, intensity, aspiration, jitter and other characteristics in voice. Wonder Tech’s acoustics-based AI system can accurately assess for depression by detecting these subtle signs (objective biomarkers) using a large AI model with over 300 million parameters.

Wonder Tech’s solution is the first acoustics-based AI model for depression screening trained using multidimensional, clinically validated datasets following the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition (DSM-V), which is the gold standard for diagnosis of mental health conditions.

Mental health disorders are prevalent worldwide. By 2030, global loss in productivity for major depressive disorder alone is forecasted to reach US$16 trillion. In the U.S., 21% of adults—nearly one in five—experienced a mental health condition in 2020. Similar trends have been observed in the Middle East, where two-thirds of respondents in a McKinsey Health Institute survey reported poor mental health or a mental health condition diagnosis. To broaden the applications of its solution for greater impact, Wonder Tech is working on adapting its AI model to screen for various disorders, including anxiety, bipolar disorder and schizophrenia.

"Socioeconomic barriers continue to hinder access to treatment for the one billion people experiencing mental health disorders worldwide," said Wendy Wu, Founder and CEO of Wonder Tech. "In Singapore alone, anxiety and depression have been estimated to cost around S$16 billion (US$11.7 billion) in lost productivity annually, the equivalent to 2.9% of the nation’s GDP. Globally, depression and mental health disorders result in a staggering US$1 trillion in lost productivity each year, underscoring an urgent need to improve their care systems."

Depression has been estimated to have a 65% misdiagnosis rate. To resolve this issue, Wonder Tech has introduced its AI system as a B2B Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) to global healthcare facilities and enable hardware integration. The system is currently integrated with online healthcare platforms for early detection of mental health conditions. This ensures care providers can offer effective and timely personalized mental health treatment. It also couples with existing chronic disease prevention and management systems to improve patients’ mental health, especially for cardiovascular disease and cancer patients, to increase the cure rate and decrease claims for insurance providers. This system has received positive feedback from enterprise employee benefit programs, government healthcare programs for remote areas, postpartum depression prevention programs and senior care communities.

Supported by Singapore’s Ministry of Health & Temasek Foundation, Wonder Tech is currently collaborating with SingHealth in a broader piloting program in Singapore. The Company is preparing its solution for global English-speaking populations.

SITE OF LAST REMAINING LABORATORY OF ICONIC INVENTOR NIKOLA TESLA

CENTER LAUNCHES $3-MILLION EMERGENCY FIRE RESTORATION FUND DRIVE

SHOREHAM, N.Y., Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ — Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe (TSCW), the last remaining laboratory of famed inventor Nikola Tesla, was damaged by a serious fire on the afternoon of November 21.

Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe, Shoreham, NY, the last remaining laboratory of famed inventor Nikola Tesla, was damaged by a serious fire on the afternoon of November 21, 2023. To help cover fire remediation costs, the Center has launched an international, $3-million Indiegogo fundraising campaign called the "Mission Rebuild" fund: https://igg.me/at/MissionRebuildTSCW.

Situated on a 16.5-acre site on Long Island in New York, the multi-building facility – listed on the National Historic Register — is undergoing a thorough assessment by engineers and local officials to determine the full extent of fire-related damages.

To help cover fire remediation costs, the Center has launched an international, $3-million Indiegogo fundraising campaign called the "Mission Rebuild" fund. (https://igg.me/at/MissionRebuildTSCW)

More than 100 firefighters, from seventeen local fire departments and ambulance corps, had responded to the blaze, which was fully extinguished the next morning.

Center officials had been preparing to commence a $20-million restoration and redevelopment of the historic laboratory complex. The $3-million Indiegogo "Mission Rebuild" fund will be separate from the in-place redevelopment drive.

"Everyone associated with Tesla Science Center owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to the many heroic first responders for their extraordinary courage and determination," said TSCW Executive Director Marc Alessi. "We are immensely grateful for the commitment and bravery of our local firefighters."

The extent of damage is now being assessed by TSCW’s site engineer, the laboratory’s historical architect, a structural engineering firm, and multiple local agencies. Their analysis will help determine the fire’s specific impact on restoration plans.  

"While we were poised to begin a significant renovation and restoration project," Mr. Alessi said, "construction had not yet commenced, sparing us from additional complexities at this stage."

Mr. Alessi expressed relief that the overall structural integrity of the building, dating back to 1901, seemed to have largely withstood the fire’s effects.  

"The public’s support and understanding in these challenging times are invaluable," Mr. Alessi said. "If you’ve been inspired by Tesla ‘s life and career, you can take action by participating in our Indiegogo ‘Mission Rebuild’ fundraising initiative.

"Together, we will navigate this crisis and emerge stronger, honoring the legacy of Nikola Tesla and the spirit of innovation, determination, and resiliency that this center embodies."

Nikola Tesla was the inventor of the motor that distributes alternating current (AC) electricity, and many other innovations. AC electricity serves as the basis for the power grid system, which in turn allowed for the introduction of wi-fi, radio, remote controls, and robotics.

About Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe

Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe (TSCW) is the last remaining laboratory of Nikola Tesla. TSCW first acquired the 16.5-acre property — designed by renowned architect Stanford White — and then initiated a restoration and redevelopment process. The restoration will transform the former working laboratory into a global innovation center, an educational facility, and a museum.
