**Avalon GloboCare's Subsidiary Files AI Patent Targeting Compliance-Ready Automated Video Commentary**

**Provisional Patent Application Covers Systems and Methods for Evidence-Constrained, Audience-Adaptive Generation of Automated Commentary Videos**

**FREEHOLD, N.J., January 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Avalon GloboCare Corp. ("Avalon" or the "Company") (NASDAQ: ALBT)**, a diversified company focused on the development of precision diagnostic consumer products and generative AI publishing and software, today announced that its subsidiary, Avalon Quantum AI LLC, has filed a U.S. provisional patent application covering a new class of evidence-constrained generative AI systems designed to produce automated video commentary with built-in source traceability and auditability.

The provisional patent application, titled "*Systems and Methods for Evidence-Constrained, Audience-Adaptive Generation of Automated Commentary Videos*" (U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 63/961,889), was filed on January 16, 2026. The filing describes a proprietary AI architecture intended to address a structural risks in generative media markets: the inability to reliably verify, audit, and defend AI-generated outputs at scale.

Unlike conventional generative video systems, the disclosed technology enforces an evidence-linked generation framework in which every narrative assertion within a rendered video must be explicitly supported by underlying source materials. The system constructs structured evidence graphs from input media, governs script generation through evidence constraints, detects contradictions across sources, and applies uncertainty handling logic to generate balanced or qualified commentary when conflicts arise. Traceability and audit metadata are embedded directly into the final video output, enabling downstream editorial review, compliance validation, and accountability.

"We believe our technology has the potential to reduce hallucination risk while enabling scalable automation in high-value, highly regulated content markets, including financial commentary, news, sports analysis, and brand-sensitive media," said Meng Li, Avalon's Interim Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer. "As AI-generated media becomes increasingly regulated, scrutinized, and monetized, the ability to prove what information was used, where it came from, and how it was presented is rapidly becoming a competitive necessity. This provisional filing reflects our strategy to build AI media infrastructure that is not only scalable and automated, but also verifiable, defensible, and enterprise-ready."
