Generation Lab has launched Verb.Ai, a platform enabling users to earn money by anonymously sharing their data, fundamentally altering market research practices. Users can install a tracker on their phones for $50 or more per month, which monitors their online activities—such as browsing habits, purchases, and streaming—while keeping financial data private. This information is used to create digital twins, offering companies deeper insights into consumer behavior. CEO Cyrus Beschloss argues that corporations have historically exploited user data without fair compensation, and Verb.Ai aims to change this by providing transparency and equitable rewards. With 88% of Gen Z willing to share data for incentives, the platform caters to a demographic increasingly open to data sharing. Verb.Ai's innovative approach, likened to an MRI machine for market research, positions Generation Lab to disrupt the industry and reach 5,000 users by September.

Published: May 21 2025, 5 ameznews.inUS President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday the launch of a $25 billion "Golden Dome" missile shield system, aimed at enhancing the nation's defense against missile attacks. The initiative, which he claims will be operational in three years, could ultimately cost around $175 billion. Trump emphasized that the system would utilize next-generation technologies to intercept missiles launched globally, including from space, marking a significant expansion beyond traditional defense measures. Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth highlighted the system's role in protecting against various missile threats, including hypersonic and drone attacks. The plan, inspired by Israel's Iron Dome, faces criticism from Russia and China, which labeled it "deeply destabilizing" and warned of potential escalations in space warfare. The 2022 Missile Defense Review underscored the growing missile threats from these nations, alongside concerns about North Korea and Iran’s capabilities.
Published: May 21 2025, 5 ameznews.inU.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio revealed on Tuesday that the number of visas revoked under the Trump administration's strict immigration policies has likely reached the thousands, indicating that further action is anticipated. This initiative, part of a broader strategy to enhance deportations and cancel student visas, targets individuals perceived to support Palestinians or criticize Israel, which officials claim threatens U.S. foreign policy. Rubio emphasized that visas are privileges, not rights, and mentioned that the initial count of revoked visas was over 300, a figure he personally authorized. Critics, including Democratic Senator Jeff Merkley, argue that such actions infringe on First Amendment rights and due process. The case of Rumeysa Ozturk, a Tufts University student detained for over six weeks after co-authoring a critical opinion piece, highlights the contentious nature of these policies, culminating in her recent release following a federal judge's intervention.

After her conversation with the pope, Meloni confirmed his willingness to host discussions at the Vatican and expressed gratitude for his "unwavering commitment to peace." She also engaged with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and other global leaders to ensure coordinated efforts towards peace negotiations. Despite ongoing diplomatic initiatives, efforts to resolve the conflict that erupted following Russia's 2022 invasion of Ukraine have seen little success, with Putin dismissing Kyiv's ceasefire proposals. The pope had previously proposed the Vatican's mediation during a meeting with Eastern Christian Church representatives last week.

Published: May 21 2025, 4 ameznews.inA resurfaced video of Ahmad al-Sharaa, the recently appointed Syrian President, has sparked controversy after he expressed happiness over the 9/11 attacks during a PBS interview in 2021. In the clip, al-Sharaa, formerly known as Abu Mohammad al-Jawlani, stated that anyone from the Islamic or Arab world who claimed not to be pleased by the attacks was lying, drawing widespread criticism for his insensitivity toward the nearly 3,000 victims. This revelation comes just days after former President Donald Trump met al-Sharaa, praising his leadership potential in Syria and announcing plans to lift long-standing sanctions, a move that has garnered mixed reactions. Al-Sharaa, once a prominent figure in Al Qaeda and ISIS, has undergone a significant transformation, now leading a country ravaged by civil war after the collapse of Bashar al-Assad's regime in December 2024.
Published: May 21 2025, 4 ameznews.inFormer President Joe Biden, 82, had not been diagnosed with prostate cancer prior to last week, according to his spokesperson. This revelation follows President Donald Trump's claims of a potential cover-up, expressing surprise that the public was not informed sooner. Biden's office announced on Sunday that he had been diagnosed with an aggressive form of prostate cancer after a nodule was discovered. The last recorded PSA test for Biden was conducted in 2014 when he was between 71 and 72 years old. Medical experts noted that the late detection of advanced cancer is not uncommon, even for individuals receiving high-level medical care. The US Preventive Services Task Force does not universally recommend annual PSA screenings for men over 70 due to the risks of false positives. Amid ongoing scrutiny of his health, Biden expressed gratitude for the support he has received following his diagnosis.
Published: May 21 2025, 3 ameznews.inApple has issued a security alert urging millions of iPhone users to update their devices following the discovery of serious vulnerabilities, particularly concerning the AirPlay feature. Identified by Tel Aviv-based cybersecurity firm Oligo, the "AirBorne" flaw allows hackers to hijack devices on the same Wi-Fi network, potentially leading to zero-click attacks that can deploy malware and steal data without user interaction. Users are advised to disable AirPlay and restrict access to 'Current User' in their device settings to mitigate risks. Oligo's CTO, Gal Elbaz, highlighted that many affected devices may never receive patches due to the widespread nature of the vulnerabilities. This warning follows a previous alert in February, where Apple acknowledged sophisticated attacks exploiting its USB Restricted Mode, a feature designed to protect data on locked devices. Users are encouraged to install security software for additional protection against these threats.

Meanwhile, tensions have escalated, with President Donald Trump issuing threats to Iran, including military action, if it fails to compromise. The US has also increased its military presence in the region, prompting concerns over Iran's uranium enrichment levels, which are nearing weapons-grade.
