AI Platform Vermillio Named to TIME100 Most Influential Companies List
CHICAGO, June 26, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Vermillio, the AI licensing and protection platform, today was named to the annual TIME100 Most Influential Companies list, highlighting 100 companies making an extraordinary impact around the world. Vermillio was recognized for empowering humanity to thrive in the Al era through its groundbreaking TraceIDTM technology, which both provides comprehensive detection and removal capabilities for unauthorized AI-generated material and enables IP holders to protect and monetize their content. Vermillio earned a spot on the prestigious list for helping "protect (and potentially license) name, image, and likeness (NIL) data." The distinction follows Co-Founder and CEO Dan Neely's inclusion in TIME's 2024 TIME100 Most Influential People in AI, underscoring the company's continued leadership in the ever-changing AI space. Providing cutting-edge protection and third-party attribution, Vermillio's TraceID enables individuals and IP holders to take advantage of the benefits of AI with secure control of their data and AI rights. TraceID offers the ability to manage terms, conditions, and usage rights while capitalizing on new revenue streams made possible with AI. The Vermillio team designed TraceID to eliminate key concerns around consent, credit, and compensation with Generative AI. TraceID's extensive offerings include IP and NIL content monitoring and reporting, alerts and takedowns, lost revenue management, IP and NIL asset preparation for AI licensing, auditing of authorized AI licenses, and payment management. Vermillio's Dan Neely is also advancing major conversations about AI around the world. He has provided instrumental guidance for landmark legislation in both the United States, including the TAKE IT DOWN ACT, and the United Kingdom. "As we continue to see courts dismantling copyright protections, major AI platforms fail to prioritize the rights of creators, and everyday people fall victim to deepfake abuses, artists, IP holders, and individuals need tools to protect themselves," said Dan Neely, Co-Founder & CEO of Vermillio. "We designed Vermillio to fill these gaps and take care of people when the system won't. We're thrilled to be recognized by TIME for our work so far and look forward to continuing to push for a future where we are all empowered, not exploited, by AI." As part of its mission to empower humanity in the era of AI, Vermillio continues to partner with leading talent, studios, record labels, and more, especially through a unique TraceID partnership with Sony Music Entertainment, which recently led Vermillio's $16 million Series A funding round. To demonstrate the unique opportunity that authenticated AI with TraceID presents to artists and labels Vermillio and Sony Music collaborated with The Orb and David Gilmour of Pink Floyd to develop an AI music experience where fans "remixed" their tracks with the artists' original music – all powered by the seamless and secure control of TraceID. Last year, Vermillio announced a first-of-its-kind partnership with talent agency WME to shield their clients from IP theft and deliver opportunities to monetize their name, image and likeness (NIL) by securely licensing their data. The company also recently announced partnership with legendary entertainer, author, and philanthropist Steve Harvey to proactively protect his fans against the unauthorized use of his image.

GPS Air Launches smartIAQ ® Expansion Turning Clean Air into a Capital-Saving Strategy
CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--GPS Air today announced a significant expansion of its smartIAQ ® platform, available in three distinct configurations, each built to deliver targeted air purification, measurable results and meaningful HVAC energy savings. By reducing outdoor air requirements and simplifying ventilation system design, the enhanced lineup helps lower total cost of ownership while supporting the specific needs of diverse building types, from classrooms and offices to healthcare spaces and auditoriums. Each smartIAQ model features solid-state sensors and programmable logic to monitor and reduce contaminants like formaldehyde, VOCs, and fine particles, delivering closed loop control within the system, an industry first. All three models can also be equipped with BACnet and Modbus connectivity, available to order in July 2025, enabling smarter control, reporting, and air quality auditing through building automation systems. Each configuration also incorporates GPS Air's patented NPBI ® soft ionization technology, to further reduce fine particulates and certain airborne viruses and bacteria to help stop the spread of germs in shared spaces. 'With rising energy costs and new air quality standards, one-size-fits-all solutions no longer make sense,' said Audwin Cash, CEO of GPS Air. 'This evolution of the smartIAQ platform gives facilities a flexible toolkit to tackle real-world air quality challenges without overengineering the solution. It's a capital cost strategy that simplifies HVAC design, lowers budget pressures, and returns value to the project.' The three available models include: Distributed smartIAQ Series: Designed for in-room installation across 1–4 zones, this model operates independently of the HVAC system to reduce ventilation load while actively monitoring and cleaning air where and when it matters most. Ideal for classrooms, offices, small multi-use zones and retrofit applications, it supports up to 500 CFM across multiple zones with whisper-quiet performance (as low as NC-25) and runs on standard 120V power. The system supports IAQP strategies by reducing the need for outdoor air ventilation at the zone level. Centralized smartIAQ Series: Installed in a side-stream configuration within HVAC systems, this model cleans return airflow and supports IAQP-based ventilation strategies that reduce outdoor air intake and overall system load. It supports up to 700 CFM of clean air and is well-suited for auditoriums, places of worship, gymnasiums and other large-volume spaces. In larger environments, this approach can reduce HVAC system size, helping projects return capital to the budget while improving indoor air quality outcomes. BACnet and Modbus integration is standard on this unit. Performance smartIAQ Series: Built for continuous air cleaning, this model includes a MERV-14 and optional HEPA filter with dual molecular filtration. Designed for elevated IAQ demands, it aligns with ASHRAE Standard 241 and delivers 24/7 protection independent of the HVAC system. It is purpose-built for healthcare facilities, laboratories, locker rooms and other high-sensitivity environments. The closed-loop control of smartIAQ gives facility teams the tools to meet the Indoor Air Quality Procedure (IAQP) from ASHRAE 62.1 while optimizing HVAC energy usage. The system also supports compliance with the WELL Building Standard, LEED and other forward-looking design frameworks. Each model is UL 867 and UL 2998 certified for safety with zero ozone emission. Modbus and BACnet building controls integration is also available as an add-on with every model, allowing building teams to enable: Real-time air quality monitoring On-demand adjustments to fan speeds and purification settings Synchronization with occupancy and energy load patterns Audit and trend air quality considerations Filtration replacement monitoring 'As buildings become smarter and more dynamic, so must the systems that support them,' said Cash. 'Indoor air quality is as much about resilience, occupant trust, and operational agility as it is about comfort and compliance. The future belongs to flexible, data-driven solutions that can evolve alongside changing environments.' The three smartIAQ models are available now, giving teams an immediate path to cleaner air, lower design costs, and smarter ventilation strategies. Modbus and BACnet building controls will be available as an optional upgrade across all smartIAQ models beginning July 2025. To learn more, visit About GPS Air GPS Air creates technology that cleans indoor air while cutting energy costs. The company's patented Needlepoint Bipolar Ionization (NPBI®) technology is installed in over 300,000 schools, offices, healthcare facilities and airports worldwide. GPS Air recently introduced smartIAQ ®, an intelligent clean air system that improves air quality while reducing energy and equipment costs. All GPS Air products are tested to ASHRAE standards, certified to UL 2998 for zero ozone emissions, and the company is ISO 9001:2015 certified. Based in Charlotte, North Carolina, GPS Air welcomes visitors to experience its technology firsthand at its new Experience Center. Learn more at

The showcase will include a rare preview of new launches in Azizi Milan, the developer's fashion-forward, sustainability-focused master planned community, inspired by the timeless charm of the Milanese lifestyle, as well as Azizi Venice, built entirely on a swimmable crystal blue water lagoon that is one of the largest in the world, alongside a refined and extensive portfolio of residential, commercial, and hospitality opportunities across Dubai – also including Burj Azizi, the world's second tallest tower. Azizi Milan, a landmark community guided by sustainability, nature, and the aesthetic refinement of Italian fashion, brings the essence of Milan to Dubai. Valued at over AED 75 billion, it spans 40,000,000 sq. ft. in GFA, making it one of the largest mixed-use communities in the UAE. The master plan will house 144,000 residents and include 800 hotel keys.

Mr. Farhad Azizi, Group CEO of the Azizi group of companies, said: "Azizi Milan is truly unique in how it merges Milanese refinement with the unparalleled vision and rapid advancement of the United Arab Emirates. We are confident that our Indian hosts see the exclusive deals we are granting them as a gesture of collaboration and an invitation to invest in a city that shares their appreciation for design, culture, and legacy."
