devices

Iconic Labs Plc (LSE:ICON) (the "Company"), a multi-divisional
new media and technology business today announces a new partnership
to create Alexa answers to combat fake news.
Iconic Labs launched Infotagion with Damian Collins MP to detect
fake news during the coronavirus outbreak. The platform has been a
global success and has allowed the company to expand the
operation.
Now, in partnership with FX Digital , an award- winning agency
specialising in TV and Voice application development, it is hoped
the new technology will expand the access to Infotagion. Currently
there are estimated to be 3 billion voice assistants in use
globally with approximately 82% of users using them to seek
information.
The Infotagion Alexa Skill has already reached 'Beta' Testing
Phase and a video of the skill at early concept stage is available
to view. The voice skill development will now seek approval from
Alexa before being formally launched.
John Quinlan, Chief Executive Officer of Iconic Labs, said :
"Infotagion already has an excellent brand and bringing our
platform further into people's homes is a great next step for us
and our users. The development of this voice skill will be an
important weapon in the fight against misinformation around
coronavirus and we're looking forward to hopefully having this
approved by Alexa as soon as possible.
In addition, the company has been approached by a number of
potential partners looking to use Iconic Lab's data, insight, and
marketing expertise in related areas to Infotagion. These include,
both not for profit, and for-profit organisations including
universities, enterprise software developers and medical technology
companies. The company looks forward to updating the market with
the progress of these plans."

Infotagion
The Company announced a few months ago that, in partnership with
Damian Collins MP, former Chair of the Parliamentary Committee on
Culture, Media and Sport, it had established a service to counter
the dissemination of incorrect information, in particular through
social media, that relates to the Covid-19 pandemic and its related
economic and social effects.
The core of the service is a website ( www.infotagion.co.uk ) on
which users post screenshots of information which they have
received from social media or elsewhere. The submitted information
is checked by a team organised by Mr Collins, which includes
experts from, inter alia, the WHO and Parliament.
