What's New for #AI in 2019; Gopher Protocol (OTCQB: $GOPH), IBM (NYSE: $IBM), NVIDIA (Nasdaq: $NVDA), QUALCOMM (Nasdaq: $QCOM)


Point Roberts, WA and Vancouver, BC - January 15, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at advancements in artificial intelligence in 2019 and beyond.
Last year saw considerable development in artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML) and natural language processing (NLP) in various sectors. This was seen in the proliferation of many startups using AI tech in various spaces, as well as the adoption of the technology by established industry leaders. As 2019 begins, there are already many indicators that AI growth will continue and accelerate.
In a year-end review, Forbes B2B technology analyst and consultant David A. Teich highlighted the tendency of major tech companies to lead the way in the adoption of AI.
"The technologies and techniques of AI and ML are still so new that the main adopters of the techniques are the large software companies able to hire and to invest in the necessary expertise," he said.
Teich explains why both Google and Amazon are early adopters "due to their cloud foundation" and that they're "working to figure out how to generalize techniques developed for their products, in order to attract the wider business market." Meanwhile, fellow tech giants Microsoft and IBM (NYSE:IBM) are "layering AI across product offerings."
Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH), a company specializing in the development of Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence enabled mobile technologies, finished 2018 with the release of a new version of its Avant! AI platform which includes user authentication, history saving and a new sentence embedding method.
Moving into 2019, there are indications that growth will become more impressive as adoption of AI advances. Deloitte Global's TMT Predictions projects that "among companies using AI, 70 percent will obtain AI capabilities through cloud-based enterprise software, 65 percent will create AI applications using cloud-based development services, and by 2020, the penetration rate of enterprise software with AI built in, and cloud-based AI development services will reach an estimated 87 and 83 percent respectively."
Deloitte Global's Paul Sallomi noted, "So far, AI's initial benefits have been predominantly accrued by ‘tech giants' with extensive financial resources, strong IT infrastructure, and highly-specialized human capital," he said. "However, the cloud will power increased efficiencies and better returns on investment, and we expect these benefits to rapidly extend beyond AI's pioneers to the wider enterprise."
But leaving survey data and research projections aside, AI has already made a palpable impact at the CES 2019 Tech Conference, held January 8-11th in Las Vegas. The event website captured the excitement around the sector saying, "AI is no longer a ‘thing' – it's everything".
There, IBM (NYSE:IBM), along with subsidiary The Weather Company, revealed the IBM Global High-Resolution Atmospheric Forecasting System (GRAF), which will be released later this year. GRAF is a weather forecasting system that can provide hourly updates for any location in the world. The company also announced Project Debater - Speech By Crowd - an AI-driven platform that collects view points from both sides of the crowd on a given topic and automatically creates convincing viewpoints for or against the topic.
Autonomous driving was present at CES 2019 with the announcement of NVIDIA Corporation's (NasdaqGS:NVDA) DRIVE autopilot, the world's first commercially available Level 2+ automated driving system. DRIVE utilizes multiple AI technologies, including AI copilot capabilities and advanced in-cabin visualization of the vehicle's computer vision system. Rob Csongor, Vice President of Autonomous Machines at NVIDIA commented:
"A full-featured, Level 2+ system requires significantly more computational horsepower and sophisticated software than what is on the road today. NVIDIA DRIVE AutoPilot provides these, making it possible for carmakers to quickly deploy advanced autonomous solutions by 2020 and to scale this solution to higher levels of autonomy faster."
Also at CES 2019, QUALCOMM (NasdaqGS:QCOM) introduced its 3rd Generation Qualcomm Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms. According to the press release, the Snapdragon Automotive Cockpit Platforms are the automotive industry's "first-announced scalable artificial intelligence (AI)-based platforms" and support "higher levels of computing and intelligence needed for advanced capabilities featured in next generation vehicles, including highly intuitive AI experiences for in-car virtual assistance, natural interactions between the vehicle and driver, and contextual safety use cases."
Gopher Protocol (OTCQB:GOPH) has also had a busy start to 2019, having launched a program to integrate its Avant! AI engine into robot platforms and has started development on an Avant! mobile application. Gopher CTO, Dr. Danny Rittman explained how the move into robotics opens up even more opportunities for AI to capitalize on.
"We believe Gopher's Avant! AI, implemented in robots, can be the brain for advanced technology in a wide variety of domains, among them medicine, autonomous vehicles including automobiles, drones and spacecraft, aviation, military, education and many more," he said.
With all the growth seen in 2018, and with market research projecting considerable growth in AI across various sectors, it seems likely that the developments seen already in the first half of January 2019 indicate the pace of growth for the rest of the year.

Investorideas.com - #Tech News: NXT-ID (NASDAQ: $NXTD) Announces Letter of Intent for $16.5 Million Long-term Debt Refinancing



#Tech News: NXT-ID (NASDAQ: $NXTD) Announces Letter of Intent for $16.5 Million Long-term Debt Refinancing

Investorideas.com - NXT-ID Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD)

SEBASTIAN, Florida - January 15, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Fit Pay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of NXT-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD) (the "Company"), today announced the signing of a Letter of Intent ("LOI") for a new $16.5 million senior secured term loan (the "Term Loan"). The Company will use the proceeds from the Term Loan to refinance its existing loan facility and to pay for accrued interest and costs associated with the refinancing. In addition, the Term Loan proceeds will also provide ongoing working capital, funds for future capital expenditures, and capital for general corporate purposes.
Key features of the Term Loan include:
  • Interest rate of LIBOR + 11.00%;
  • Maturity date of three years after closing; and
  • Three-year term with minimum principal payments amortized over 96-months.
"We are very pleased to have made progress on the refinancing of our existing debt facility," said NXT-ID CEO Gino Pereira. "Completing this transaction will enable us to move forward with the planned spin-off of our Payments Division, which we believe will increase overall value for our shareholders."
Subject to the closing, the refinancing would remove a key covenant of the existing debt facility and allow the Company to proceed with the spin-off of its Payment Division, which include its Fit Pay, Inc. subsidiary and other assets. The terms of the LOI require the Company to complete the spin-off within 15 days of closing the Term Loan.
The Company previously announced that it intends to separate its payments, authentication and credential management business into an independent company and distribute those shares to NXT-ID shareholders through the execution of a spin-off, which the Company believes will qualify as a tax-free distribution. Immediately following the spin-off transaction, NXT-ID shareholders, who own shares of NXT-ID on the to-be-announced record date will own shares of both companies. Prior to the record date of the distribution, which will be established by the Board, NXTD shares continue to include shareholder rights to any pro-rata dividend that may result from the spin-off.
The new company, PartX, Inc., will include the assets acquired in the May 2017 business combination with Fit Pay, Inc. as well as the payment, authentication and credential management assets the Company developed previously by NXT-ID. It is applying for listing on NASDAQ.
The Company anticipates closing the Term Loan within 45 days of the signing of the LOI, which occurred on January 10, 2019. The closing of the Term Loan is subject to customary due diligence and various terms and conditions. The anticipated timing of the closing is subject to change.

Global Enterprise AI Market to Hit $9.88 Billion USD by 2023 at CAGR of 51.1%

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:GOOG) (NasdaqGS:BIDU)

Research from 360 Market Updates finds that the global enterprise AI market, which was valued at $796.3 million USD in 2018, will grow to $9.88 billion USD by 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 51.1 percent during that forecast period. An excerpt from the report description reads:
Enterprises are increasingly recognizing the value associated with incorporation of artificial intelligence (AI) into their business processes as they improve operational efficiency and reduce cost, through automation of process flows. Thus, companies are using autonomous processes to improve operations, and change the face of customer service (for example, through AI-powered chatbots), while spurring innovation to new heights. AI is a set of algorithms that can solve a specific set of problems and it works best with a large amount of quality big data.
Also, AI investment is growing fast, dominated by digital giants, such as Google (NasdaqGS:GOOG) and Baidu (NasdaqGS:BIDU). Globally, tech giants spent USD 20 billion to USD 30 billion on AI in 2016, with most of this expenditure on research and development (R&D) and deployment, and remaining on AI acquisitions. Machine learning, as an enabling technology, received the largest share of both internal and external investment.

AI in Oil and Gas to See CAGR of Over 12.14% from 2018-2023

The AI in Oil and Gas Market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of more than 12.14 percent in the forecast period of 2018-2023, according to a report from Industry Research. An excerpt from the report reads:
The oil and gas industry operates across a high-risk environment, where the application of AI is expected to aid in streamlining the overall production process and controlling the wastage across the endpoints. Various IoT sensors exhibit multiple functions, which are integral components of upstream and downstream activities, across the industry. From exploration activities (upstream) to leak monitoring while transportation (downstream), there are opportunities for significant application of AI, in the industry. However, the increasing safety concerns among the workforce, especially the maintenance of aging pipeline infrastructure, poses pressure on the oil and gas manufacturers, to include gas and temperature sensors in case of fire emergencies. This factor increases the demand for several data analysis processes that use predictive modeling, across the oil and gas industry. The rising adoption of smart sensing technology as a part of industrial IoT is poised to provide considerable opportunities to the oil and gas industry, in order to curb the safety issues to a substantial extent.
