Toluna, the leading consumer insights provider and parent company of Harris Interactive and KuRunData, today announced a joint initiative with Harris Interactive in service of the French Presidential and Legislative elections.

The companies are conducting weekly polling to measure French citizens on their preferred candidates, voting intention, and out-of-polling-station results. Harris Interactive has historically led this polling effort. However, this year, Harris Interactive is officially partnering with its sister company, Toluna, to cover the events. This year’s efforts include over 50 pre-election surveys with over 100,000 people interviewed, as well as 5,000 interviews on election day.

Harris Interactive and Toluna will also partner with leading French TV channel and radio station, M6 and RTL, throughout their coverage of the French elections. Harris Interactive and Toluna experts will first provide estimates of their weekly polling for the first and second rounds of the Presidential election, held Sunday, April 10, 2022, and Sunday, April 24, 2022.

The coverage will be live on M6 and RTL and will also be shared on Toluna and Harris Interactive social media networks from 12:00 PM CEST each election day and continuing throughout the day. The timeline will be as follows:

  • 12:00 PM: Initial analysis of voter turnout
  • 5:00 PM: Estimates of voter turnout
  • 8:00 PM: Initial estimate of Presidential election results
  • 8:30 PM onwards: Exclusive insights from “Voting Day” survey fielded by Harris Interactive and Toluna to understand voter motivations and abstentions
  • Later in the evening: Refined results in real time

Following the Presidential election, Harris Interactive and Toluna will again work with M6 and RTL to deliver weekly polling for the French Legislative elections on June 12, 2022 and June 19, 2022, providing exclusive analysis and estimations of the French National Assembly’s composition.

The coverage will again feature live on M6 and RTL, available online throughout the evening, as well as on multiple social media channels, including:

  • Harris Interactive: harris-interactive.fr / @HarrisInt_FR
  • Toluna: tolunacorporate.com / @TolunaCorporate
  • M6: groupem6.fr/ @M6, @M6Info, @M6Pro
  • RTL: rtl.fr / @RTLFrance

This is a great honor, and we look forward to delivering the accurate data the public desires.”

For more than 20 years, Harris Interactive has been proud to deliver some of the most accurate measures of French election results, and we look forward to continuing this tradition in partnership with Toluna,” commented Jean-Daniel Lévy, Senior Vice President of Harris Interactive France and Director of Politics and Opinion Department.

Earnix Brings Agentic AI to the Decisions That Drive Insurance Performance17.9.2026 16:09:00 EEST | Press release

Earnix today announced the introduction of Agent Hub, a curated catalog of insurance-specific AI agents and apps within Earnix AIOS — the AI Orchestration System powering Earnix’s pricing and rating, underwriting, and customer engagement solutions. Agent Hub brings agentic AI directly into these solutions, enabling more intelligent workflows and strengthening the high-stakes decisions that shape pricing, underwriting, customer engagement, growth, and profitability. In an increasingly turbulent insurance environment, the useful life of an insurance decision is getting shorter. Risk and market conditions are changing faster, making growth, profitability, and portfolio performance harder to manage. AI is increasing the speed and scope of what insurers can analyze, recommend, and increasingly act on — but as intelligence moves closer to action, the standard for governance, explainability, and accountability also rises. For insurers, that shift has direct implications for both financial per

Elliptic Launches Its Decode Agent to Answer On-Chain Risk Questions and Shows Its Work17.9.2026 16:00:00 EEST | Press release

Elliptic, the global leader in on-chain risk, today launched Decode, an AI agent built on Elliptic’s intelligence platform. The Decode agent answers natural-language questions about cryptoasset addresses and their exposure in seconds, and returns the evidence behind every answer. Compliance and investigations teams need answers to questions nobody planned for. Getting them out of the data is now a specialist skill, so the questions wait for someone who has it, or go unasked. Meanwhile illicit actors move at machine speed, and agents are starting to sit on both sides of a payment. General-purpose AI assistants can produce an answer. They cannot show where it came from. A fluent response with nothing behind it cannot be put in front of a second-line reviewer, an auditor, or a regulator. “The market is full of AI that asks to be trusted. That is not good enough when someone asks how you reached a decision,” said Jackson Hull, CTO at Elliptic. “We published the Elliptic Standard last week
