Presight signs an MoU with Dow Jones Factiva to explore advanced, AI-powered risk-intelligence innovations
By fusing Dow Jones Factiva's unparalleled risk, regulatory, legal, and sustainability intelligence with Presight's sovereign AI infrastructure and cutting-edge agentic AI capabilities, the collaboration could unlock a new generation of intelligent systems purpose-built for the most sensitive corners of the global financial ecosystem.
Transforming Compliance from Reactive to Predictive
The joint offering would harness generative AI, explainable models, and real-time contextual reasoning to empower compliance, legal, and risk teams to preempt threats rather than react to them. These capabilities would be deployed within sovereign-grade environments that ensure full adherence to national data residency and security requirements – meeting the rising expectations of both regulators and regulated entities.
Initial flagship solutions could include:
KYC & UBO Agent: Mapping hidden ownership structures across borders by triangulating regulatory filings, leaked documents, and open-source intelligence.
Sustainability Tracker: Real-time surveillance of sustainability controversies, compliance breaches, and evolving regulatory expectations.
Legal & Policy Risk Agent: Detecting enforcement trends, cross-border risks, and subtle shifts in legal landscapes.
Adverse Media Monitoring: Sentiment-aware media intelligence to surface reputational threats as they emerge.
Sanctions Intelligence Engine: Uncovering indirect exposure to sanctioned actors via trade networks and ownership chains.
Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight, said: "This collaboration seeks to bring together the best of both worlds: Dow Jones Factiva's unparalleled depth in regulatory-grade data and Presight's sovereign-scale AI delivery. Together, we're working towards redefining how institutions approach risk – through real-time, predictive, and contextualized intelligence. It's Applied Intelligence in action, transforming risk into foresight."
Joel Lange, executive vice president and general manager of Dow Jones Risk & Research from Dow Jones, said: "As business leaders navigate increasingly complex landscapes, we are committed to arming our customers with the tools needed to meet their needs and these discussions with Presight could mark a pivotal step in the development of next-generation risk solutions. Together, we're uniquely positioned to serve global financial institutions and regulators with tools that are as intelligent as they are actionable – elevating compliance and risk management to meet the demands of tomorrow".
A Regional Launchpad for Global Influence
Rooted in the GCC's regulatory innovation and national AI infrastructure, the collaboration would first serve sovereign wealth funds, central banks, Tier 1 banks, and supervisory authorities across the UAE and wider Gulf. Further expansion into strategic corridors including Southeast Asia, Central Asia, North Africa, the UK, and the United States – where the demand for secure, auditable, and intelligent compliance tooling continues to surge – is also in discussion.
A New Standard for the Risk Function
This collaboration could set a new benchmark for the modern risk function: auditable, autonomous, and future-proof. In a world defined by complexity, velocity, and interconnected threats, Presight and Dow Jones Factiva are not merely responding - they are redefining what it means to govern intelligently.

Back to school in UAE: With over 500 customers a day, uniform shops brace for heavy rush
Some uniform shops in the UAE are seeing an average of more than 500 customers a day as parents prepare for the back-to-school season. Most of the shops are expecting the crowds to multiply towards the end of the month. 'We have an average of around 500 customers, if not more, coming in every day,' said a spokesperson for LCT uniforms in Karama. 'One batch of our stocks is almost over, and we have just placed a new order. Last weekend was extremely busy, and we are expecting the crowds to multiply over the next week, closer to school reopening. UAE schools will reopen on Monday, August 25, after almost two months of summer break. Last week, the Ministry of Education (MoE) announced a new structure for the academic calendar starting from 2025–2026, setting unified dates for the start of the academic year, end of the three terms and end of term breaks for all public and private schools nationwide. The spokesperson added that, contrary to previous years, there had been a steady stream of parents visiting the store throughout the summer. 'Usually our rush begins after the middle of August,' he said. 'However, this year, we had a steady stream of parents throughout the two months of summer. Some came as early as the second week of July because they wanted to finish off uniform shopping before they travelled for the break.' 'Waited for more than 20 minutes' Abu Dhabi resident Aalim Nadheer visited a uniform store earlier this week and waited more than 20 minutes to be served. 'The store has a policy that we have to book appointments online before going there,' he said. 'I didn't know this, but because the store was not very crowded, they gave me a token number and buzzer. We walked around the mall, and in less than 30 minutes, the buzzer rang.' He added that he considered himself lucky to be served so quickly. 'The staff said that if I had waited for a few more days, the rush would have multiplied as many parents come back by the middle of August,' he said. 'I know of people who waited hours last year. I didn't want to risk that, so I decided to get my shopping done early.' Hundreds of people At the Bimbino uniform store, which has outlets in Sharjah, Ras Al Khaimah, Al Ain and Fujairah, the crowds have been steady. 'At our outlet in Sharjah, we are seeing hundreds of customers every day,' said a telephone operator. 'We have the uniforms of almost all schools, so a lot of parents prefer to come to us. Last weekend, we had a lot of rush as many parents are now returning after their vacations.' She added that the store was expecting more crowds and possible long queues on weekdays and weekends over the next two weeks. 'As the dates for school reopening draw closer, we are expecting the number of parents coming to us to multiply,' she said. 'That is what we have seen every year.'

UAE: Piloted flights of flying taxi to begin in the coming days, says Archer CEO
The US-based Archer Aviation, which will launch flying taxi operations in the UAE, is expected to begin piloted flights in the coming days ahead of the formal launch of services in Abu Dhabi later this year, said Adam Goldstein, founder and CEO of Archer. 'We expect the first piloted flight to take place within days. We've got a lot of confidence that we'll be in there soon… 2025 is an inflexion point on the commercial front. After years of engineering work and flight tests, the team is focused on transitioning to piloted operations in early commercial deployment. We remain on track to launch (flying taxi) later this year in the UAE, and are preparing for subsequent deployments with Midnight launch edition customers and several other international markets,' Goldstein said during the investor call after the second quarter results on Monday. 'The goal is for us to demonstrate the aircraft's capabilities, drive public acceptance, build operational excellence and generate early revenue. We remain on track to deliver our first piloted aircraft as part of that programme to Abu Dhabi aviation in the UAE later this year. We've already started the flight test programme for that aircraft here in California, and we expect piloted flights to begin in the coming days,' he said. Archer has tied up with the Abu Dhabi Investment Office (Adio) to launch, train staff and manufacture its flying car Midnight in the UAE. Archer signed definitive agreements with its partners, Abu Dhabi Aviation and the Abu Dhabi Investment Office, to activate the first of several planned 'lunch edition' programmes globally. As part of this, Archer delivered its first Midnight aircraft to the UAE, commenced its flight test programme in Abu Dhabi and expects initial commercial payments later this year. 'In the second quarter, we ramped aircraft manufacturing across our facilities in California and Georgia with six Midnight aircraft in production, including three in final assembly. Alongside major progress in the UAE, our selection as the Official Air Taxi Provider of LA28 Olympic Games, and two acquisitions to accelerate our defence program, we're executing from a position of strength with a sector-leading $1.7 billion of liquidity,' said Archer's founder. He said the company has been focusing on a commercially viable product. 'The aircraft testing we have been doing leading up to our planned early deployment in the UAE is critical for ensuring safety.' He added that Archer teams are collaborating through joint working sessions in the UAE and California, and the UAE's General Civil Aviation Authority (GCAA) is closely tracking all the progress with Midnight as they work with Archer on the pathway to begin flying passengers in the country. He added that other potential early adopter markets are also taking stock of what they are seeing in the UAE. 'We're seeing demand in a number of other countries for our launch edition programme.' Highlighting Archer's plan over the next few months ahead of the launch of the flying tax in Abu Dhabi, he said: 'Over the next several months, firstly, we're going to deliver an aircraft to the UAE later this summer. We'll start by doing some incremental testing out there, like validating performance in the higher temperature environment. Then we'll move on to improving routes on our intent networks in Abu Dhabi on the broader UAE, and then ultimately working towards sharing passengers again with Abu Dhabi Aviation,' he said.
