The #AIEYE - Going Mobile: #AI Implementation in Smartphones and Apps; (NYSE: $BB) (OTCQB: $GOPH) (TSXV: $ALY.V) (NASDAQ: $INSG)



The #AIEYE - Going Mobile: #AI Implementation in Smartphones and Apps; (NYSE: $BB) (OTCQB: $GOPH) (TSXV: $ALY.V) (NASDAQ: $INSG)

Point Roberts WA, Vancouver BC – April 5, 2019 – Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at artificial intelligence in the mobile market and apps.


Whether through image recognition, natural language processing (NLP) or digital assistants and chatbots, AI is increasingly becoming ubiquitous in mobile technology. A report from Zion Market Research projects that the global mobile AI market will reach $22.4 billion by 2024. One of the key domains for AI in the mobile market is app development. A story from Becoming Human outlines how app creators leverage AI for an array of jobs:

Developers begin to create AI-enabled systems that can effectively learn from past experience, discover meaning, and exhibit the ability to reason and have already started integrating this technology to perform certain specific tasks such as voice or handwriting recognition, computer search engines and performing medical diagnosis.

An example of the market response to AI adoption in the mobile industry is BlackBerry’s (NYSE:BB) recent stock growth. As the Financial Post indicates, at least part of this growth, and the company’s stronger-than-expected fourth quarter, can be traced to their $1.4 billion acquisition of California-based artificial intelligence and cybersecurity firm Cylance. The deal was closed just a week before the end of the quarter, which saw BlackBerry “exceed[ing] analyst revenue and profit estimates”. Upon the acquisition of Cylance, BlackBerry Executive Chairman and CEO, John Chen said:

"Today BlackBerry took a giant step forward toward our goal of being the world's largest and most trusted AI-cybersecurity company. Securing endpoints and the data that flows between them is absolutely critical in today's hyperconnected world. By adding Cylance's technology to our arsenal of cybersecurity solutions we will help enterprises intelligently connect, protect and build secure endpoints that users can trust."

Gopher Protocol Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH), a developer of IoT and AI enabled mobile technology, recently released a mobile app of its Avant! AI platform for Android and iOS. Connected to the Avant! AI web application, the mobile app is an Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) designed for search and retrieval and is based on modern AI technologies including Deep Neural Network (DNN), vectorization and other advanced methodologies enabling usage for a wide variety of applications. Dr. Danny Rittman, Gopher Protocol’s Chief Technology Officer explained that the app is set to expand its capabilities beyond the initial release:

“In the near future we'll enable more features for the application, including personal training capabilities. This feature will virtually enable users to create their own private, mobile data bank or a personal encyclopedia, with the system learning how to find the best result for each individual user.”

Earlier this year, artificial intelligence company AnalytixInsight Inc.’s (TSXV:ALY) joint venture partner, leading Italian bank Intesa Sanpaolo, committed to a 2.8 million EUR investment in digital transformation over the next three years. Part of this includes a stock-trading app, Intesa Sanpaolo Investo, which was developed by Marketwall, a FinTech provider co-owned by AnalytixInsight. The press release highlights the importance of mobile apps in the digitization of the bank:

“Mobile is at the heart of the Bank's digital ecosystem: the "app constellation" that is centred on Intesa Sanpaolo Mobile, provides access to banking services, financing, savings and is enriched with the new Intesa Sanpaolo Investo app that enables customers to independently invest and monitor their assets.”

Inseego Corp. (NasdaqGS:INSG), a pioneer in 5G and intelligent IoT device-to-cloud solutions, recently added the Skyus 300 and Skyus 500 gigabit edge routers as the latest additions to its Skyus industrial IoT (IIoT) portfolio. According to the press release, both routers are “purpose-built to futureproof and simplify complex deployments while lowering the total cost of connecting critical remote and mobile assets for industrial, public safety, transportation and infrastructure applications.” Ashish Sharma, EVP of IoT & Mobile Solutions at Inseego commented:

“Today’s industrial enterprise applications require more speed and bandwidth than ever before. Our new Skyus 300 and 500 edge routers meet that challenge with the latest Cat 18 LTE technology and allow our customers to operate securely and reliably in challenging industrial environments-with a return on investment unmatched by competing solutions.”

Most mobile phone users are aware of AI implementation in the form of Siri for iOS, and Google Assistant for Android, but the technology is being leveraged in a wide range of uses in the industry. Whether it’s cybersecurity as with BlackBerry’s Cylance, AGI search and retrieval as with Gopher’s Avant! or intelligent IoT application as with Inseego’s Skyus routers, AI seems likely to continue to find new uses in the mobile market.

The #AIEYE: How #AI, #IoT and Digital Tech are Transforming Resource Industries (TSXV: $MCLD.V) (OTC: $SBGSY) (TSX: $STLC.TO) (TSXV: $AIIM.V)



The #AIEYE: How #AI, #IoT and Digital Tech are Transforming Resource Industries (TSXV: $MCLD.V) (OTC: $SBGSY) (TSX: $STLC.TO) (TSXV: $AIIM.V)

Point Roberts WA, Vancouver BC – April 4, 2019 – Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence issues a special edition of The AI Eye, looking at how new developments in AI, IoT and the digital tech sector are now being deployed in seemingly “old-school” industries such as oil and gas and mining.

As technology progresses forward at a break-neck pace, older and more established industry sectors such as oil and gas, or mining and manufacturing are beginning to realize that utilizing these new technologies is the only way to embrace the future.  BI Intelligence predicts that global manufacturers will invest $70 Billion on IoT solutions in 2020, up from $29 Billion spent in 2015.



Universal mCloud Corp. (TSX-V: MCLD) (OTCQB: MCLDF), a leading provider of asset management solutions combining IoT, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and analytics, recently unveiled its plans to connect oil and gas field workers with real-time access to digital work assistance capabilities using the Company’s AssetCare platform delivered via head-worn, hands-free smart glasses.







Originally developed to support field workers and maintainers in mCloud’s Smart Buildings and Wind segments, the Company expects to deliver similar capabilities within its recently announced entry into Oil and Gas through its newly-signed three-year global licensing agreement for AssetCare solutions with Fulcrum Automation Technologies (“Fulcrum”). In the oil and gas industry, mCloud estimates there are over 1.4 million field workers operating over 500,000 assets across North America whose roles would benefit from the enhanced productivity and efficiency that would come with hands-free access to AssetCare in the field.

Delivered on smart glasses, mCloud’s AssetCare platform enables workers in the field to get access to the right information at the right time combining the features of an AI-powered digital assistant with advanced 3D and mixed reality. Real-time digital work instructions enable workers to get guidance and verification as they work through complex procedures, ensuring they get jobs done right the first time. Smart work order management capabilities ensure workers focus on those field assets in most urgent need of attention.

In addition, remote assistance, provided through mCloud’s strategic arrangement with Agnity Global enables workers in the field to virtually collaborate with experts in the corporate back-office through a secure, enterprise-grade video and audio link.

“Our ability to deliver AssetCare on hands-free smart glasses lets us dramatically improve the productivity and efficiency of field workers everywhere,” said Dr. Barry Po, mCloud’s Chief Product Officer. “All across the oil and gas value chain, there are opportunities for us to enhance the way decisions are made in the field.”

Schneider Electric S.E. (OTC: SBGSY), a leader of digital transformation in energy management and automation, has recently announced the launch of Schneider Electric Exchange, the world's first cross-industry open ecosystem dedicated to solving real-world sustainability and efficiency challenges.

"Digitization continues to revolutionize the way we work and behave. The world can no longer work in independent silos; the need for better integration and collaboration has unearthed new opportunities and solutions. Schneider Electric Exchange brings together a diverse ecosystem of digital innovators and experts, enabling the co-creation of solutions and enriching learning and speed through collective intelligence. Together this digital ecosystem creates, collaborates, and scales business growth," says Cyril Perducat, EVP IoT & Digital Offers, Schneider Electric.

Stelco Holdings Inc. (TSX: STLC) (OTC; STZHF), the owners of North America's newest and most technologically advanced integrated steelmaking facilities recently announced signing an agreement with Canvass Analytics Inc., a global leader in AI software for intelligent industrial operations to use Canvass's AI platform to transform its steel operations, improve yield and boost productivity.

Alan Kestenbaum, Executive Chairman of Stelco Inc. commented: "As a company that strives to deliver the market's highest quality products in a cost competitive manner, we are continuously looking at how we can operate better. By partnering with Canvass Analytics, we are systematically transforming our facilities into intelligent operations environments and augmenting a digitally oriented workforce in order to take the efficiency of our operations to the next level. Canvass Analytics quickly demonstrated to us the usefulness of AI in certain areas of our operations and the potential of applying AI across our operations in order to increase our profitability and competitiveness."

In the mining sector, Albert Mining Inc. (TSX-V: AIIM), using Artificial Intelligence (AI) and advanced knowledge-extraction techniques since 2005 announced on March 28th that its technology will be used on Playfair Mining Ltd.’s RKV property (Tynset, Hedmark County area, 295.96 square kilometres), located in Southern Norway, 350 km North of Oslo. A fee will be paid to Albert for applying its CARDS (Computer Aided Resources Detection Software) system using AI and Datamining on the RKV property.

Albert Mining says its objective is to develop a new royalty stream by significantly enhancing and participating in the exploration success rate of mining.
AI is changing the future of the resource sector from agriculture to energy and mining but it also impacts almost all sectors as innovation and demand for efficiency become key ingredients for success.  In Canada and the US, the resource sector is a key contributor the economy, so the old must meet the new or face meeting the fate of the dinosaurs.

#AI #Security Stock News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) JOINS MULLER GROUP INTERNATIONAL’S PORTFOLIO OF TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES PROVIDING FACIAL RECOGNITION AND WEAPON DETECTION SOFTWARE



#AI #Security Stock News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) JOINS MULLER GROUP INTERNATIONAL’S PORTFOLIO OF TECHNOLOGY COMPANIES PROVIDING FACIAL RECOGNITION AND WEAPON DETECTION SOFTWARE



PHILADELPHIA, PA, APRIL 4, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) VSBLTY Technologies Corp (the "Company" or "VSBLTY") (CSE: VSBY) (Frankfurt 5VS) announced today that it has formed an alliance with Muller Group International (MGI), joining with other MGI partner companies in providing comprehensive turnkey security solutions for corporations, governments, entertainment and sports venues and schools.

MGI was founded by Jeffrey S. Muller, a former FBI Supervisory Special Agent who serves as the firm’s president and CEO. Based in the Washington, DC, MGI operates in 25 countries and utilizes innovative technologies to safeguard governments and corporations from cyber threats and weaponized alternative attacks.  

VSBLTY is a leading retail software and technology company that provides facial recognition and weapon detection using the power of machine learning and computer vision. Its proprietary VSBLTY Vector™ product can be used alone or in combination with any form of digital signage to provide perimeter security by “looking for persons of interest” or individuals carrying weapons with the intent to cause harm.


MGI and VSBLTY recently teamed as technology partners to provide security to a Fortune 50 company at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, Muller said. “With the help of VSBLTY’S state-of-the-art software that provides facial recognition and weapon detection, we were able to provide perimeter security for a major global corporation over the five-day event,” Muller explained. A local database was constructed of several hundred “known” persons, who represented an active threat to the client, its assets and its brand, he said. Muller added, “Using more than a dozen hidden cameras, MGI and VSBLTY interfaced with the client’s operations team, providing live photos that enabled them to do a visual comparison with database photos to determine if the individual was an active threat.”

VSBLTY Co-Founder and CEO Jay Hutton said, “With more and more so-called soft targets being attacked around the world, heightened security is needed virtually everywhere. In most instances, our face-on cameras provide better facial recognition than overhead CCTV cameras to enable faster, professional security responses to threats. “With this partnership with MGI we are advancing the increasingly important ability to provide security where it has never been available before,” he added.

Muller pointed out that companies, as well as sports and entertainment venues, or even schools, can no longer rely solely on physical “guards, gates and guns” to maintain safety or mitigate risk. He explained, “To keep ahead of cyber and physical attacks we need increasingly to rely on innovative technologies.”

IDC Finds AI Systems Spending in Europe Will Hit $5.2 Billion in 2019

A new report from the International Data Corporation (IDC) finds that AI systems spending in Europe will reach $5.2 billion in 2019, an increase of 49 percent from 2018. Furthermore, by 2022 the IDC projects AI spending will reach $13.5 billion on the continent. An excerpt from the report reads:

AI is a big topic in Europe — it's here and it's here to stay. AI can be the game changer in highly competitive environments, especially across consumer-facing industries such as retail and finance, where AI has the power to push customer experiences to the next level with virtual assistants, product recommendations, or visual searches.

Microsoft Partners with OpenClassrooms to Train AI Workforce, Intel Announces Product Portfolio Including 2nd Gen Xeon and LogMeIn Introduces Enhancements to Bold360 Platform
Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:MSFT) (NasdaqGS:INTC) (NasdaqGS:LOGM)

Microsoft (NasdaqGS:MSFT) has partnered with online education-to-employment platform OpenClassrooms to train students for AI jobs in the workplace. The project brings together programming from OpenClassrooms with Microsoft content and leverages built-in connections to employers looking to fill AI roles. OpenClassrooms co-founder and CEO Pierre Dubuc commented:

"The demand for AI and machine learning opportunities has never been stronger. We're excited to be an innovation partner to Microsoft to usher in new tactics that will bring top talent to the workforce."

Intel Corporation (NasdaqGS:INTC) has announced its new product portfolio, which includes the 2nd-Generation Intel Xeon Scalable processor featuring integrated Intel Deep Learning Boost for AI deep learning inferencing acceleration and support for Intel Optane DC persistent memory. Navin Shenoy, Intel executive vice president and general manager of the Data Center Group, said:

“Today’s announcements reflect Intel’s new data-centric strategy. The portfolio of products announced today underscores our unmatched ability to move, store and process data across the most demanding workloads from the data center to the edge. Our 2nd-Generation Xeon Scalable processor with built-in AI acceleration and support for the revolutionary Intel Optane DC persistent memory will unleash the next wave of growth for our customers.”

LogMeIn, Inc. (NasdaqGS:LOGM) has introduced enhancements to its intelligent customer engagement platform, Bold360. Ryan Lester, Director of Customer Engagement Technologies at LogMeIn, explained:

“As customer expectations continue to increase, agents are finding it difficult to keep up with the ever-expanding engagement channels, limits of legacy systems and the complexity of incoming queries. While AI is certainly helping with much of this, we can’t forget about the humans behind the bots.     Artificial intelligence is perfectly suited for some things, but it isn’t a replacement for human intelligence.  Creating a best in class customer experience is about finding the right balance between the two.  Today’s announcement focuses on the agent and ensuring they have the tools and technologies to take on more complicated challenges and ultimately be human when humanity is needed most.”
