DATAMETREX $DM.ca CHOSEN AS PREFERRED VENDOR PARTNER BY #LOTTE

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:38 AM on Thursday, April 2nd, 2020
  • LOTTE has chosen the Company to be one of its preferred vendor partners
  • Every year LOTTE chooses 10 of its top vendor companies to put on their preferred partners program
  • Vendors on this platform have demonstrated quality, reliability and trustworthiness.

TORONTO, April 02, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) is pleased to share that LOTTE has chosen the Company to be one of its preferred vendor partners.

Every year LOTTE chooses 10 of its top vendor companies to put on their preferred partners program. Vendors on this platform have demonstrated quality, reliability and trustworthiness. Once on this platform, a company can receive payments in full for contracts within two weeks of a purchase order. For companies that are part of the preferred vendor group, LOTTE has created a growth fund of approximately $200M USD. This fund is used to create joint venture (JV’s) companies with preferred vendors or to co-bid on contracts of significant size as a way to sponsor their preferred vendors.

In addition to creating JV’s, LOTTE also offers its preferred partners loans bearing minimal interest rates to support their growth. The current rate at approximately 3%. Datametrex is pleased to share that it is currently in the process of creating a JV with LOTTE for Government related contracts. As a direct benefit of Datametrex inclusion in this program, the Company is eligible to borrow up to $500,000 CAD per quarter.

“Being chosen to participate in the preferred vendor program with LOTTE is a validation of the quality of work our team is providing to LOTTE. It also assists greatly with cash flow and the fact that we can apply for such a low interest rate loan removes any financing risk for the Company,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company.

VIDEO: #Datametrex $DM.ca #AI Hired By US Government Agencies On #COVID19 / #Coronavirus Fake News and Disinformation

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 5:13 PM on Wednesday, April 1st, 2020

When US Government Agencies call you in the middle of the greatest health and economic crisis in 100 years, it is safe to assume your Artificial Intelligence capabilities to detect fake news, disinformation campaigns and their impact is amongst the most respected in the world.  

You would expect such a company to be a tech giant or a Silicon Valley project.  But Datametrex AI (DM: TSXV) (Soon To Be Nexaology) is a great Canadian small cap technology company, that has also achieved the following as of late:

  • Q3 Revenues Of $1.6 million,  an increase of 186%
  • 9 Mont Revenues Of $2.56M an increase of 37%
  • Repeat Contracts Of $1M and $600,000 With Korean Giant LOTTE   
  • $954,000 Contract With Canadian Department of Defence To Fight Social Media Election Meddling
  • Participation In NATO Research Task Group On Social Media Threat Detection 
  • Becoming an affiliate member of the Carnegie Mellon University Center for IDeaS

When a small cap Artificial Intelligence company is successfully deploying its technology with military and conglomerates, smart investors have to take a closer look.  

That look can begin with our latest interview of Datametrex CEO, Marshall Gunter, who talks to us about the use of the Company’s Artificial Intelligence by US Government Agencies to detect misinformation campaigns against the United States by foreign entities.  

Watch this interview on one of your favourite screens or hit play and listen to the audio as you drive.

DATAMETREX $DM.ca IDENTIFIES CHINESE CAMPAIGNS TO MANIPULATE SOCIAL MEDIA SURROUNDING #COVID19

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 7:29 AM on Wednesday, April 1st, 2020
  • Work done for the United States Government clearly identifies attempts by Chinese authorities to create a divide amongst Americans on how the administration and Trump are handling #COVID19
  • Report can be viewed here: http://datametrex.com/investor/covid19-report.html

TORONTO, April 01, 2020 — Datametrex AI Limited (the “Company” or “Datametrex”) is pleased to share a summary of the work done for the United States Government and a link to the report which clearly identifies attempts by Chinese authorities to create a divide amongst Americans on how the administration and Trump are handling #COVID19. This work was commissioned by an agency for the United States Government and involved collecting and analyzing a massive amount of social media data.  

Datametrex examined millions of social media documents over the last month tracking Chinese involvement in the online discussions surrounding the COVID-19 and coronavirus. Datametrex found significant attempts by both Chinese authorities and news agencies to manipulate the media and shift the blame for the COVID-19 outbreak to the United States. Additional attempts at media manipulation and narrative shaping included attempts to frame dialogue from US President Trump as racist and show the Trump administration as an impediment to the worldwide recovery from the pandemic while framing Chinese President Xi as a strong leader on the world stage.

“We are thrilled to be working with the US Government on this very serious topic, this report goes to show that social media warfare goes beyond attempts to tamper with elections as we clearly identified during the Canadian Federal Elections. The Company is open for business in the US and we look forward to working with more government agencies and corporate clients on disinformation, propaganda, fake news in social media,” says Marshall Gunter, CEO of the Company

#Covid19 fake news hacks its way onto government blockchain website – SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited $DM.ca

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 12:45 PM on Friday, March 27th, 2020

SPONSOR: Datametrex AI Limited (TSX-V: DM) A revenue generating small cap A.I. company that NATO and Canadian Defence are using to fight fake news & social media threats. The company announced three $1M contacts in Q3-2019. Click here for more info.

Covid-19 fake news hacks its way onto government blockchain website

By: Mariana López

  • On March 14, the government in Argentina disclosed that its system had effectively been hacked.
  • Perpetrator(s) uploaded false information regarding guidelines for public officials on handling the coronavirus (Covid-19) onto the country’s official bulletin website, which just so happens to use blockchain technology. 

As a result, officials took the site temporarily offline.

Correspondingly, another issuance will be necessary to disclaim the false statements posted on its 34,239 editions.

Have the blockchain gods forsaken the government of Buenos Aires? Not exactly. Blockchain isn’t bullet-proof.

Hacked! Why Argentina’s case is a big deal

Perhaps you’re wondering, “what’s the big deal? It’s just a bulletin.”

No, it’s not just a bulletin. 

Many countries have their own official bulletin or gazette wherein laws, notifications, or other big-deal, high-level government information is formally announced.

In Argentina, it’s known as the Boletín Oficial. Mexico’s is christiend the Diario Oficial de la Federación. In the US it’s called the Federal Register.

And the fact that something of such substantial importance in government communications was hacked is both alarming and interesting.

First off, blockchain-based systems are often hailed as more fool-proof to this type of manipulation. 

And that’s because each block within the chain is supposed to have its own unique cryptographic fingerprint and use what’s known as a “consensus protocol.” Through this protocol, the nodes on the network share and record transactional history. 

Thanks to these mechanisms, in theory, not just any outsider can show up and manipulate the data.

But with some creativity and determination, hackers can bust through blockchain’s apparently impenetrable defenses.

Secondly, everyone is well aware of how fake news can make its way onto social media. As a result, we’re consistently advised to only rely on official sources, like government websites, for more information on the pandemic. 

The hacking of a government outlet like Buenos Aires’ means that no source is 100 percent safe and fool-proof to being used as a platform to broadcast false statements.

That’s why we should make an effort to consult additional sources for more information. Especially for a topic as sensitive as healthcare.

And remember, if the government is hackable, so are you. So take the necessary precautions to protect your own data and systems.

Posted by AGORACOM-JC at 4:12 PM on Thursday, March 19th, 2020

With 165,000 patients, Empower Clinics (CBDT:CSE) (EPWCF:OTCQB) has a database that almost every medical cannabis and CBD company would kill for.  Patient visits increased 351% in Q4 and 800% in February.  But would Coronavirus social gathering imitations put the clinic network at risk?

No.  In fact, it has had the opposite effect, with the clinics being designated an essential service.  Moreover, Empower has had to actually increase operating hours.

Watch this interview with the Company’s CEO, Steven McAuley, who is Six Sigma certified under the quality initiative of legendary GE chairman Jack Welch. We’ve never seen a Six Sigma certified CEO in the Canadian small cap markets. Never …. which also explains how McAuley has been able to guide Empower Clinics through the most disruptive retail environment in recent history.  

Grab your favourite beverage and settle in to watch what may be your next great small cap investment.
