This suite includes automatic speech recognition, natural language understanding, wake words, custom domains, text-to-speech, and embedded voice solutions. SoundHound AI, Inc., was founded in 2005.

However, recent developments have cast a shadow over the company. Pomerantz LLP is conducting an investigation on behalf of investors in SoundHound AI, Inc. (NASDAQ: SOUN). The investigation revolves around allegations of securities fraud or other illicit business practices involving SoundHound and certain officers and directors. A report by Culper Research, released on July 27, 2023, raised concerns about SoundHound's claims regarding its AI technology, restaurant business, and contract backlog. The report alleged that the company's AI relies on human-staffed call centers, its restaurant venture is struggling, and its backlog figures are misleading.

This news had a significant impact on SoundHound's stock price, causing a decline of $0.22 per share, or 8.98%, resulting in a closing price of $2.23 per share on July 23, 2023. Pomerantz LLP, a respected law firm in the fields of corporate, securities, and antitrust class litigation, is actively investigating these claims and their potential ramifications.

Investors are advised to stay informed as developments unfold, and the outcomes of the investigations could impact the future trajectory of SoundHound AI, Inc. As with any investment decision, thorough research and a clear understanding of the situation are crucial for prudent decision-making.

Powerbridge Technologies Co., Ltd. (Nasdaq: PBTS) stands as a prominent provider of versatile technology solutions and services across various industries. Operating within several business segments, including software and digital applications for diverse sectors, cross-border trade platforms, global trade systems, digital fintech services for agriculture and consumer products, as well as cryptomining machines and cryptocurrency operations.

Recent developments have illuminated both opportunities and challenges for Powerbridge. On July 12, 2023, the company's subsidiary, Ascendent Insight Education Co., Ltd. (AIedu), embarked on a strategic partnership with a key player in the education industry to catalyze AI-driven innovation. 

This collaboration seeks to leverage the partner company's extensive user base and market influence to accelerate the adoption of Ascendent Insight’s flagship product, the Little Egg App. The integration of AI-engineered reading capabilities with the partner's user base presents a promising pathway to an enriched and interactive learning environment for preschool children.

However, on August 16, 2023, Powerbridge Technologies faced a notification letter from Nasdaq Stock Market LLC regarding its non-compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under Nasdaq Listing Rule 5550(a)(2). The company has been granted 180 calendar days, until February 7, 2024, to regain compliance by maintaining a closing bid price of at least US$1.00 for a minimum of 10 consecutive trading days. This challenge underscores the need for Powerbridge to actively monitor its closing bid price and explore strategic measures to enhance its financial position and results.

Amidst these developments, Powerbridge Technologies maintains its commitment to innovation and growth. Stewart Lor, CEO of Powerbridge Technologies, expressed optimism about the partnership's potential, envisioning significant opportunities for accelerated growth at AIedu. While challenges persist, Powerbridge's dedication to advancing technology and fostering innovation remains a cornerstone of its operations. Investors are advised to monitor the company's progress as it navigates both opportunities and obstacles in its dynamic landscape.

A Houston-based security reseller with a national footprint inked a pre-order for three K1 Hemisphere ASRs from a gated golf community in central Texas. Notably, Knightscope's K1 Hemispheres are poised for imminent deployment, having reached the final stages of testing. Additionally, an existing Knightscope customer in San Antonio expanded its deployment of K1 Blue Light Towers (K1BLT), marking a total of 16 units for park areas. These towers provide swift access to emergency services, extending a lifeline to those facing crises.
