Voices’ Amplified 2026 report reveals performance-grade voice AI as emerging quality standard

NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK / ACCESS Newswire / January 28, 2026 / Voices, the world’s leading enterprise-class marketplace and platform for actor-powered voice AI solutions, today announced the launch of its inaugural annual report, Amplified 2026: The Annual State of Voice Report, revealing a critical adoption gap between consumer behavior and enterprise readiness in voice AI deployment. The report draws on insights from a survey, conducted by Censuswide, of 700 business leaders and consumers to explore how voice AI is impacting interactions between brands and humans.

Findings from the survey revealed that 55% of consumers now use voice as their primary interface for AI interactions, while only 29% of companies have deployed customer-facing voice AI. This gap creates significant competitive risk for brands racing to meet consumer expectations.

Actor-powered voice AI emerges as quality differentiator

As voice AI becomes commoditized, business leaders increasingly recognize that voice quality and authenticity separate premium brands from generic implementations. Key findings reveal:

• 79% of business leaders report that inauthentic AI voices negatively impact brand perception

• 79% of business leaders prioritize AI voices sourced from real, attributed voice actors over synthetic alternatives

• 77% of business leaders say exclusive, brand-specific AI voice licensing is critical for differentiation

• 76% of consumers expect transparency about how AI voices are created and licensed

"Our research reveals a widening readiness gap between how consumers are adopting voice AI and how prepared enterprises are to deploy it responsibly," said Jay O’Connor, CEO of Voices. "As brands move to deploy voice AI, the difference won’t be speed or cost-it will be whether voices sound real, trustworthy, and human. An actor-powered voice in voice AI isn’t a nice-to-have anymore. It’s how brands protect trust and stand out."

Consent-based licensing provides legal and brand safety moat

Amplified 2026 identifies voice provenance-the ethical origin and licensing rights of voice data-as a critical factor in enterprise voice AI selection. As legal scrutiny around scraped voice models mount and actors scramble to secure the rights to their own voices, voice AI decision-makers are prioritizing consent-based licensing to mitigate legal risk and protect brand reputation.

Business leaders also recognize that professional voice talent are uniquely positioned to deliver the performance quality required for premium brand experiences. Unlike synthetic or scraped, commoditized voice models, actor-powered voice AI delivers the emotional range, cultural authenticity, and brand alignment that enterprise customers demand.

The voice interface shift creates urgency for enterprise adoption

With 55% of consumers already voice-first in their AI interactions, enterprises face pressure to deploy voice AI quickly while maintaining quality and brand safety standards. The report reveals:

• Only 29% of companies have deployed customer-facing voice AI

• An additional 32% remain in pilot or testing phases

Voice represents the most significant interface shift since smartphones. This gap between consumer behavior and enterprise readiness highlights both the urgency to get voice AI right and the risk involved in getting voice AI wrong.

With more than 20 years of experience in the voice industry, Voices provides enterprise-class solutions for ethically sourced, performance-grade voice AI. The company’s platform connects global brands with millions of professional voice actors and voice contributors who consent to AI voice licensing, ensuring legal compliance, performance quality, and brand differentiation.

Remergify’s TrustNFT.io Subsidiary Introduces Blockchain Solution to Combat $600 Billion Global Counterfeit Crisis

MIAMI, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / January 28, 2026 / Remergify, through its subsidiary TrustNFT.io, today announced the official launch of Cerfinity.com, a groundbreaking blockchain-powered product authentication platform that leverages non-fungible token (NFT) technology to create unforgeable digital certificates for physical products. The platform addresses the escalating global counterfeit crisis, which costs brands and consumers an estimated $600 billion annually.

"The counterfeit market has reached crisis proportions, eroding consumer trust and devastating legitimate brands," said Stuart Fine, CEO of Remergify, TrustNFT.io, and Cerfinity. "Cerfinity represents a paradigm shift in product authentication. By harnessing the immutable nature of blockchain technology and the unique properties of NFTs, we’ve created a solution that makes counterfeiting virtually impossible while providing consumers with instant, verifiable proof of authenticity."

How Cerfinity Works

Cerfinity creates a unique digital certificate for each product, stored as an NFT on the blockchain. When brands register their products with Cerfinity, the platform generates an unforgeable NFT certificate linked to a scannable QR code or NFC tag that accompanies the physical product. Consumers can instantly verify authenticity by scanning the QR code or tag with their smartphone, accessing the complete product history including origin, ownership, and transfer records.

The platform’s key differentiator is its consumer-friendly approach-no cryptocurrency wallet or blockchain knowledge is required. The verification process is as simple as scanning a QR code, making advanced blockchain security accessible to mainstream consumers.

Addressing a Critical Market Need

According to industry research, 84% of consumers express concerns about purchasing counterfeit products, particularly in online marketplaces. Traditional authentication methods such as holograms, certificates of authenticity, and serial numbers have proven inadequate, as they can be easily forged or replicated by sophisticated counterfeiters.

The product authentication market is projected to reach $12.5 billion by 2027, with blockchain-based solutions experiencing particularly rapid growth. Cerfinity targets high-value sectors including luxury goods, pharmaceuticals, electronics, fashion and apparel, collectibles, and wine and spirits.

Built on TrustNFT.io Infrastructure

Cerfinity is powered by TrustNFT.io, Remergify’s blockchain infrastructure subsidiary specializing in NFT-based authentication and verification solutions. The platform supports multiple blockchain networks including Ethereum, Polygon, and Phantasma ensuring scalability and flexibility for brands of all sizes. The technology provides complete transparency while protecting sensitive business information through selective disclosure mechanisms.

Key Benefits for Brands and Consumers

For Brands:

Cerfinity provides brands with comprehensive anti-counterfeiting protection, enhanced customer engagement through direct verification interactions, valuable data and analytics on product distribution and authentication patterns, and increased consumer confidence leading to higher conversion rates and reduced return rates.

For Consumers:

Consumers gain instant authentication confidence, complete product provenance tracking, simplified resale verification for secondary markets, and protection against fraud in online and offline purchases.

"We’re not just fighting counterfeits; we’re building trust," added Fine. "Every authentic product becomes part of an immutable record that benefits everyone in the value chain-from manufacturers to retailers to end consumers. This is the future of product authenticity."

Availability and Pricing

Cerfinity.com is now available for brand registration. The platform offers flexible pricing models including setup fees, per-certificate fees based on volume, and subscription-based access to advanced analytics and support features. Interested brands can schedule a demonstration and consultation at www.cerfinity.com.

Cerfinity is a blockchain-powered product authentication platform that uses NFT technology to create unforgeable digital certificates for physical products. The platform provides instant verification, complete product history tracking, and comprehensive anti-counterfeiting protection for brands across multiple industries.

PARK CITY, UTAH / ACCESS Newswire / January 28, 2026 / Harbor Fund, a client of Dolphin (NASDAQ:DLPN) subsidiary Elle Communications, announced that Sundance Mountain Resort will become the new long-term home of the annual Harbor Film Forum, beginning in summer 2026. The announcement was made during an invitation-only gathering held during the 2026 Sundance Film Festival, in partnership with the Sundance Institute.

The evening featured remarks and conversation from Lindsay Hadley, Co-Founder and CEO of Harbor Fund; Amy Redford, producer, director, actor, and Advisory Board Member to Harbor Fund; Jefferson Moss, Director of the Utah Governor’s Office of Economic Opportunity; and actor, producer, director, and writer Chris Pine, producer of the forthcoming documentary EVICTED, supported by Harbor Fund.

The event brought together leading filmmakers, philanthropists, and entertainment industry leaders for an evening of reflection on the future of independent filmmaking and the role of impact-driven storytelling in Utah and beyond. As the Sundance Film Festival prepares to depart the state after decades of shaping Utah’s creative identity, the evening acknowledged the profound legacy Sundance Film Festival built in Park City, and underscored a shared commitment to ensuring independent film continues to have a home in Utah. Harbor Film Forum’s new chapter at Sundance Mountain Resort reflects Harbor Fund’s intention to help carry that spirit forward,of stewarding independent voices, fostering creative collaboration and cultural dialogue, and keeping Utah firmly on the map as a vital hub for culture-shaping, social impact-driven cinema.

"In the current entertainment culture and machinery, films with the most urgent values often struggle to receive the funding or distribution they deserve," said Lindsay Hadley, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Harbor Fund. "Harbor Fund is committed to carrying forward the legacy of independent storytelling by supporting filmmakers who are creating culturally resonant and socially impactful work."

Amy Redford reflected on the enduring legacy of Sundance as a champion of independent voices and creative risk-taking, emphasizing the importance of evolving while remaining rooted in Utah’s creative ecosystem. "The heart of the organization stays here, in this remarkable place," said Amy Redford. "Organizations like Harbor Fund make it possible for artists to continue telling stories that can truly change the world."

Chris Pine shared personal insight into EVICTED, a forthcoming documentary examining America’s housing crisis and the human toll of eviction. "The power of what we do as filmmakers is to remind people that we are not alone," said Chris Pine. "This is one of those stories that feels deeply necessary."

By establishing Sundance Mountain Resort as its long-term home, Harbor Film Forum will continue to convene filmmakers, funders, and thought leaders in a setting that honors the past while shaping the future of independent film and impact-driven storytelling.

DALLAS, TX / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2026 / As artificial intelligence increasingly shapes how consumers, journalists, and stakeholders discover and evaluate brands, The Vokol Group (TVG) is helping companies adapt their public relations strategies through AI Optimization (AIO)-a modern PR approach that ensures brands are accurately represented across search engines, AI overviews, and generative AI platforms.

According to recent industry research, more than 60% of AI-generated answers pull from high-authority news sources and press wire content, reinforcing the role of earned media as a primary data source for large language models (LLMs) and AI-powered search tools. As a result, brands that publish consistent, well-structured press releases are significantly more likely to appear accurately in AI-generated summaries and recommendations.

"AI doesn’t invent brand stories-it assembles them from trusted sources," said Dana Cobb, President of The Vokol Group. "Press releases distributed through credible wire services have become one of the most influential inputs shaping how AI systems describe who a brand is, what it does, and why it matters."

How AIO Is Reshaping Modern PR
AI Optimization in public relations focuses on structuring press releases so they are easily interpreted, indexed, and reused by both search engines and AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Google AI Overviews, Gemini, and Perplexity. Unlike traditional PR, which prioritized one-time media coverage, AIO-driven PR emphasizes clarity, consistency, and machine-readable structure-while still maintaining human storytelling.

Best practices include:

• Clear, declarative headlines that state who, what, and where

• Strong ledes that answer the five Ws immediately

• Modular, scannable sections that support AI extraction

• Consistent brand naming and terminology

• Evergreen boilerplate language frequently reused by AI as brand descriptors

• Distribution through wire services indexed by search engines and AI systems

When executed on a regular cadence, these releases establish durable authority signals that AI models reference repeatedly over time.

A More Cost-Effective Alternative to Always-On Paid Media
The Vokol Group notes that AIO-driven PR offers brands a scalable and cost-effective alternative to heavy reliance on paid advertising. While ads stop delivering value once spend ends, AI-optimized press releases continue working long after publication-supporting SEO, AI visibility, and online reputation simultaneously.

"One optimized press release can influence search results and AI-generated brand descriptions for months or even years," Cobb said. "That longevity makes AIO-focused PR one of the highest-return investments brands can make today."

Strengthening Reputation and Narrative Control
Beyond visibility, AIO-driven PR plays a critical role in online reputation management. Consistent wire distribution helps populate page-one search results with brand-approved content, reducing the influence of outdated, inaccurate, or third-party narratives.

For brands experiencing growth, expansion, or increased scrutiny, this steady cadence of authoritative content also provides a stronger foundation for crisis resilience and brand trust.

TVG’s Expertise at the Intersection of PR, SEO, and AI
The Vokol Group has built its reputation by operating at the intersection of earned media, search optimization, and emerging AI discovery trends. Based in Dallas, TVG works with brands across lifestyle, retail, home services, entertainment, and community-driven sectors-helping them scale visibility while maintaining narrative control.

TVG’s approach blends traditional PR fundamentals with modern optimization strategies, ensuring client messaging performs not only with journalists, but also with search algorithms and AI systems increasingly responsible for brand discovery.

"The future of PR is AI-aware," Cobb added. "Modern public relations isn’t just about being seen-it’s about being correctly understood everywhere your brand shows up."

About The Vokol Group
The Vokol Group (TVG) is a Dallas-based public relations agency specializing in modern PR strategies for a wide range of clients and categories. TVG works with brands across lifestyle, retail, home services, entertainment, and community-driven industries to build long-term visibility, credibility, and reputation in an increasingly AI-driven search environment.

TVG has been recognized with multiple industry honors, including several coveted 2025 PRSA Pegasus Awards, including Best in Show, reflecting the agency’s strength in strategic storytelling, media relations, and integrated communications.

SARASOTA, FLORIDA / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2026 / Specificity (OTCID:SPTY), a leading digital marketing agency specializing in hybrid AdTech solutions, today announced a strategic partnership with A2SPA, a provider of execution-time security protocols for agentic AI systems.

The partnership follows an extensive evaluation of emerging AI execution risks, as autonomous agents increasingly communicate and act at scale. Specificity selected A2SPA to ensure that AI-driven workflows execute only within clearly authorized, cryptographically enforced boundaries – particularly in high-value environments like advertising and marketing operations. When an LLM sits at the center of intent data feeds, identity graphs, and pixel intelligence after mechanical and fake traffic have been stripped out – execution must follow the data protocols and timing defined by the advertiser, not the monetization logic of the platforms. Without execution-time control, even clean intelligence is overridden by incentives that do not serve brands, their campaigns and certainly not their revenue goals.

"Agentic AI is rapidly becoming operational infrastructure, not just decision support," said Jason Wood, Founder and CEO of Specificity. "Without execution-time controls, marketers put themselves at a disadvantage as AI agents act across platforms, systems, and data sources. A2SPA stood out as the only solution focused on enforcing control at the moment of execution, which is where real risk and value converge."

As AI agents increasingly interact with one another without direct human oversight, gaps in execution authorization can compound into large-scale inefficiencies and misaligned outcomes. In industries such as adtech – where automated decisioning touches audience selection, platform allocation, spend placement, and creative execution – even small execution gaps can have outsized economic impact.

"AI agents don’t create risk because they’re intelligent – they create risk because they can act," said Jonathan Capriola, Co-Founder and CEO of A2SPA. "As agentic systems scale, the real challenge becomes execution-time control. A2SPA was built to cryptographically enforce what agents are allowed to do at the moment of action, ensuring autonomy remains verifiable, auditable, and aligned with business intent. This partnership demonstrates how execution protocols become foundational infrastructure as AI moves into real-world production."

Why now: As autonomous agents increasingly execute actions across high-value systems without human checkpoints, execution-time authorization is becoming a prerequisite for deploying AI safely at scale.

About Specificity
Specificity is a leading digital marketing agency specializing in hybrid ad tech solutions that eliminate bot traffic, reach verified audiences, and maximize ROI. By combining advanced technology with creative strategy and analytics, Specificity helps brands achieve predictable, scalable growth.

About A2SPA
A2SPA provides execution-time authorization protocols for agentic AI systems, enabling cryptographic control at the moment of action. The platform ensures AI agents operate safely, verifiably, and within defined execution boundaries as autonomy scales across industries.

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / January 27, 2026 / SocialBoom.io recognizes that in today’s fast-paced digital world, YouTube remains a powerhouse among social media platforms where creators and businesses compete fiercely for attention. Recognizing the growing challenges in building a substantial subscriber base organically, SocialBoom.io proudly announces the launch of its specialized service designed to help users buy YouTube subscribers safely, efficiently, and with lasting results. This new offering aims to enhance channel visibility, credibility, and overall presence in the competitive YouTube landscape.

Why Buying YouTube Subscribers Is a Smart Move

For creators serious about success on YouTube, having a solid subscriber count is essential. A higher subscriber count not only boosts your channel’s social proof but also positively impacts the YouTube algorithm, increasing the likelihood that your videos will be recommended to a broader audience. However, growing subscribers organically can be slow and unpredictable, especially for new or smaller channels. That’s where buying subscribers through trusted platforms like SocialBoom.io provides a valuable head start.

By purchasing real YouTube subscribers, creators can jumpstart their channel growth, gaining the momentum needed to attract genuine engagement. This approach helps channels meet YouTube’s monetization requirements, including reaching the critical milestone of one thousand subscribers, while improving the channel’s overall standing and presence.

Commitment to Quality and Safety at SocialBoom.io

One of the biggest concerns when buying subscribers is the risk of fake accounts or bots, which can lead to subscriber drops and potentially harm your channel’s reputation with YouTube’s systems. SocialBoom.io addresses these issues head-on by prioritizing the delivery of high quality YouTube subscribers – real accounts with active histories. This ensures that purchased subscribers contribute to natural engagement and long-term credibility.

Additionally, SocialBoom.io uses drip feed delivery methods, gradually adding new subscribers over time instead of flooding your channel with a sudden spike. This natural delivery pattern helps avoid triggering YouTube’s spam detection algorithms and supports sustainable, organic growth that maintains your channel’s analytics in a consistent and trustworthy manner.

Flexible Subscriber Packages Tailored to Your Needs

Understanding that every YouTube channel has unique goals and budgets, SocialBoom.io offers a wide range of flexible subscriber packages. Whether you’re an emerging creator aiming to gain your first few hundred subscribers or an established business looking to expand your audience, SocialBoom.io has both basic packages and premium options designed to fit your strategy.

All packages come with transparent pricing and no hidden fees, so you know exactly what you’re purchasing. The ability to choose from various subscriber counts allows you to scale your growth responsibly, reducing the risk of sudden drops and benefiting from retention guarantees that protect your investment.

Secure Payment Methods and Dedicated Customer Support

Security is a top priority at SocialBoom.io. The platform offers secure payment methods, including multiple convenient payment options, making the purchasing process safe and hassle-free. Importantly, users only need to provide their channel URL – never their YouTube login credentials – safeguarding account privacy and security.

Moreover, SocialBoom.io provides a responsive customer support team available during business hours to assist with any questions or concerns. This dedication to service quality ensures users receive timely support and guidance throughout their subscriber purchasing journey.

The Benefits of Buying Subscribers with SocialBoom.io

Increasing your subscriber count with SocialBoom.io can significantly enhance your channel’s visibility by providing social proof that attracts new viewers. This boost in visibility often encourages more organic subscribers, creating a positive cycle of growth. Furthermore, purchasing subscribers can expedite reaching YouTube’s monetization milestones, such as one thousand subscribers and 4,000 watch hours, allowing creators to start earning revenue sooner.

A steady and natural increase in subscribers signals to the YouTube algorithm that your channel is active and engaging, improving your chances of appearing in search results and suggested videos. Additionally, witnessing subscriber growth motivates creators to produce consistent, high quality videos, supporting ongoing organic growth and strengthening the channel’s presence.

Ensuring Long-Term Success with SocialBoom.io

SocialBoom.io’s approach focuses on building a strong foundation with real subscribers who contribute to long-term credibility rather than quick, unsustainable spikes. The gradual delivery system, combined with retention guarantees, helps prevent subscriber drop and maintains a natural growth curve.

The platform encourages users to complement their purchased subscribers with consistent content creation and engagement strategies. This holistic approach ensures that your channel not only looks good on paper but also performs well in terms of real engagement and audience retention.

Getting Started with SocialBoom.io Is Easy

Starting with SocialBoom.io is simple and straightforward. Choose the subscriber package that best fits your needs, provide your channel URL, and select a secure payment method. Once your purchase is confirmed, the delivery process begins promptly, with new subscribers added gradually to mimic natural growth patterns.

SocialBoom.io also offers detailed tips and guidance on maximizing the benefits of buying subscribers, including advice on creating compelling content and engaging effectively with your audience.

Why SocialBoom.io Stands Out Among Other Services

Among the many sites to buy YouTube subscribers, SocialBoom.io distinguishes itself through its commitment to delivering genuine, active YouTube users via drip feed delivery that supports natural looking growth and avoids triggering spam filters. The service includes retention guarantees to replace subscribers if drops occur, transparent pricing without hidden fees, secure payment options, responsive customer support during business hours, and flexible packages tailored to different budgets and channel goals.

AI Systems Do Not List Companies, They Select Them

POST FALLS, IDAHO / ACCESS Newswire / January 26, 2026 / AI-driven search systems are designed to minimize uncertainty. Instead of offering multiple options, they synthesize information and select a single entity to reference. Research from MIT shows that AI-generated answers increasingly rely on pre-validated authority models to avoid conflicting information.

This design choice means that appearing in AI search results is no longer about exposure; it is about qualification.

Why a New Standard Was Necessary

As more agencies began claiming AI expertise, confusion emerged in the market. AI systems do not resolve this confusion through claims or branding. They resolve it by identifying repeatable, verifiable authority patterns across trusted environments.

Without a clear standard, AI systems default to excluding most companies entirely.

Defining Authority Through AEO

AEO establishes a structured methodology for how companies are evaluated by AI systems. It integrates online presence alignment, reputation management signals, and media placement into a cohesive authority profile that AI engines can interpret.

Trustpoint Xposure is currently the only PR agency in the United States that has completed formal AEO certification and applies that certification through direct media access and AI answer validation.

This positions Trustpoint Xposure as the reference point AI systems rely on when selecting authoritative answers.

What This Means for Businesses Competing in AI Search

For organizations wondering how do I rank first in AI search, the answer is no longer incremental optimization. It is authority validation. Companies must now demonstrate credibility in ways that AI systems can independently verify.

This new standard shifts the focus from competing for attention to earning recognition, fundamentally changing how visibility works in AI-generated search environments.
