Global commodities intelligence provider announces global availability of AI assistant, redefining access to leading chemicals and energy market intelligence.

LONDON, Oct. 8, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — ICIS, a global source of commodity intelligence, has launched  Ask ICIS, the company’s first of its kind generative AI assistant delivering unparalleled access to ICIS’ standout energy and chemicals market intelligence to its subscribers.

From natural disasters, supply chain disruptions to geopolitical uncertainty, the commodities marketplace continues to be as unpredictable and fluid as ever. With that, the need for quick access to the most up to date and accurate commodities market intelligence has increased dramatically as market players look to navigate these various shifts and make the best decisions possible. Powered by generative AI, Ask ICIS tackles these challenges head-on by providing quick and easy access to market data and information underpinned exclusively by ICIS’ standout market intelligence. 

“Today’s commodity markets are as dynamic as they have ever been, meaning access to trusted, up-to-the-minute information is paramount for our customers,” said Jeff Skelton, CEO of ICIS. “At ICIS, we are constantly looking for ways to bring the most accurate and timely information and insights to our customers, and Ask ICIS takes this mission one step further. Pairing exclusive top-tier insights from ICIS News and the ICIS database with the power of generative AI, Ask ICIS unlocks a new level of quality and efficiency for decision-making that energy and chemicals insiders simply haven’t had access to previously, and isn’t available elsewhere in the marketplace.”

Unlike other AI assistants that are powered by open ChatGPT and lack source transparency and accuracy, Ask ICIS was developed with trust and accuracy at its core and is rooted exclusively in ICIS’ expert data and insight. Available in multiple languages and backed with citations, Ask ICIS enables users to tailor responses directly to users’ roles, market segments and priorities. Ask ICIS can also customize content for various user needs ranging from brief summaries to in-depth reports. Meaning, users have peace of mind that they are making strategic decisions based on the most trusted information available to the commodities industry today.

In addition, Ask ICIS is already trusted by leading commodities companies and allows for users to uncover “unknown unknowns” as well by providing customized suggested prompts and follow-ups that give access to insights that users previously would not have searched for.

“Remaining competitive in commodities today means that decision-makers need to have a view into every corner of their landscape – even ones they didn’t know were there,” said Skelton. “Ask ICIS helps to close these gaps significantly by allowing stakeholders to uncover relevant information impacting their sectors beyond their direct queries, creating an unmatched view of their environment today, tomorrow and beyond.”

Breaking Stereotypes: New 3Fun Survey Reveals Media’s Missteps in Polyamory Representation

By

NEW YORK, Jan. 10, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Despite growing visibility, only 11% of polyamorous individuals feel media portrayals align with their real-life experiences, according to a new survey by 3Fun, the leading dating app for open-minded singles and partners seeking like-minded connections. The survey, conducted among 1,312 3Fun users, highlights how media misrepresentation shapes public perceptions, reinforces stereotypes, and impacts user expectations on dating platforms like 3Fun.

Key Findings from the 3Fun Survey:

Limited Representation: Nearly 40% of respondents said they rarely see polyamorous relationships in mainstream media, while 17% reported never seeing them at all.Social Media Influence: Platforms like Instagram and TikTok are driving perceptions of polyamory for 40% of users, far surpassing traditional media like TV and film (10%).Accuracy Issues: Only 11% of respondents described media portrayals as “very accurate,” while 52% rated them as “rarely accurate” or “completely inaccurate.”Mixed Progress: While 39% believe portrayals have improved, 38% said they’ve noticed no change at all.Normalization vs. Stereotypes: Social media is a double-edged sword—40% think it normalizes polyamory, but 34% believe it reinforces harmful stereotypes.Global vs. Local Media: Over 21% noted global media tends to be more open-minded about polyamory than local outlets, which are often conservative or avoid the topic altogether.

“The data from this survey shows how far we still have to go in achieving authentic representation of polyamory in media and pop culture,” said Max Ma, Founder and CEO of 3Fun. “These portrayals don’t just shape public opinion—they directly influence how our users feel about their relationships and their ability to live openly. At 3Fun, we’re dedicated to creating a supportive community where everyone can explore their desires without fear of judgment.”

The Real Impact of Misrepresentation

Nearly half of respondents (47%) identified cultural and societal norms as the biggest barriers to societal acceptance of polyamory—more significant than concerns about media portrayal or visibility. However, respondents emphasized that better representation would lead to:

Easier conversations about polyamory (32%)Improved understanding within their social circles (21%)

Gigi Engle, certified sex and relationship psychotherapist and 3Fun’s resident intimacy expert, echoed this sentiment: “Representation matters. Media has the power to normalize relationships and dismantle stereotypes, but only when done thoughtfully. This survey shows a clear need for creators to approach polyamory with authenticity and care.”

Creating a World Where Love Knows No Limits

The findings highlight the role platforms like 3Fun play in bridging the gap between perception and reality. With over 10 million downloads and 3 million verified active users worldwide, 3Fun provides a safe, inclusive space for polyamorous individuals and couples to connect, explore, and thrive.
