Today’s Column- The AI Eye- Watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence

Stocks discussed: (TYO:9984) (TSXV:MCLD) (TSXV:MVAI)

Arm Ltd, a subsidiary of SoftBank Group Corp. (TYO:9984), announced the launch of an AI chip for “tiny devices such as sensors designed to detect patterns in human speech or other streams of data,” according to a report from Reuters today. Today, the company released the new Cortex M55 processor coupled with its Ethos-U55 “neural processing unit,” though the report indicates that “chips with the technology” will not hit the market until next year. These chips will “aim to carry out the special kinds of math needed by artificial intelligence (AI) software that can detect vibrations or pick out spoken keywords from a user.”

mCloud Technologies Corp. (TSXV:MCLD) has signed a contract to acquire AI visual inspection and monitoring technologies from AirFusion, Inc. Dave Weinerth , mCloud's President, Smart Energy, commented:

"AirFusion's AI-derived results from wind turbine blade images are the best we have seen, reducing processing times by over 90% without compromising high accuracy. This acquisition in combination with AssetCare gives mCloud a serious competitive edge over other wind blade inspection providers."

One particular acquisition will be AirFusion’s Newton Engine, “which uses patent-pending AI to identify and classify damage from images of wind turbine blades.” This will be integrated into mCloud’s AI-powered AssetCare platform.

mCloud stock is very much in the green today, posting growth of about 6.7 percent at press time. For more on mCloud, check out the Investorideas.com podcast interview with the company’s CEO Russ McMeekin from March 2019, in which we discuss the AssetCare platform and its application in energy consumption.

In a corporate update released today, Minerva Intelligence Inc. (TSXV:MVAI) has announced that it has completed “the development of its proprietary artificial intelligence reasoning technology and is now implementing its strategy of delivering its solutions for commercial use through two primary product platforms: TERRA and GAIA.” TERRA is an AI mining suite comprising the following products:

● SolACE – Prepares data for cognitive AI and machine learning applications

● Target – Cognitive AI application for evaluation of surface exploration data

● DRIVER – Cognitive AI application for evaluation of mine and exploration drilling data

● LEO – Document management system optimised for interoperability with AI systems

GAIA allows users to generate and navigate hazard susceptibility, using cognitive AI capabilities to mimic “human-expert reasoning about natural hazards and provides explainable hazard assessments.” Scott Tillman, CEO of Minerva Intelligence, explained:

"2019 was focused on ensuring that our product suite was ready for market and that our team would be able to sere the needs of prospective clients. We have accomplished this and have launched into the commercialization phase of our business. We are looking forward to engaging with a number of customers and validate to the market the commercial applications of our unique technology."

White House to Propose “Doubling of AI R&D Funding” in 2021 Budget Proposal

A report from Reuters indicates that today The White House plans to propose a considerable increase in funding for artificial intelligence, as well as “quantum information sciences research and development in its 2021 budget proposal.” Specifically, this will entail a doubling of AI R&D funding from $973 million to nearly $2 billion by 2022. Though he declined to confirm the exact dollar amount, White House adviser and U.S. chief technology officer Michael Kratsios revealed in a statement that the budget will “ensure America continues to lead the world in critical technologies like AI and quantum. America’s economic strength and national security depend on it.”

Excluded from the previously mentioned figures are Defense Department spending on AI research. According to the report:

“The budget proposal on Monday will include a 70% increase for National Science Foundation (NSF) for AI-related grants and interdisciplinary research institutes, rising to more than $850 million…”

Breaking #Fintech News: Weyland Tech (OTCQX: $WEYL) Management Purchases Shares of Common Stock; @weylandtechinc

Breaking #Fintech News: Weyland Tech (OTCQX: $WEYL) Management Purchases Shares of Common Stock; @weylandtechinc

NEW YORK - February 10, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Weyland Tech, Inc. (OTCQX: WEYL) a leading global provider of mCommerce platform-as-a-service (PaaS), eCommerce managed services and fintech solutions, reported that its executive management purchased a total of 75,000 shares of the company's common stock from the public market on February 7, 2020.

Read this news featuring WEYL in full at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/WEYL/news/2020/02101Purchases-CommonStock.asp

The buyers and amounts include:

President & CEO, Brent Suen: 25,000 shares, bringing total shares held to 2,857,000.
Chief strategy officer, Matthew Brent: 25,000 shares, bringing total shares held to 1,895,000.
Chief operating officer, John MacNeil: 25,000 shares, bringing total shares held to 2,295,000.

Previous insider open market purchases of common stock were made in October 2019 by Suen, who bought 99,000 shares. In November 2019, Suen purchased an additional 900,000 shares from a shareholder in a private transaction.

"Given our strong tailwinds, including the increasing number of business subscribers coming onto our CreateApp platform, our expanding geographic footprint and recent major acquisition, we see our growth continuing to accelerate over the coming quarters," noted Suen. "We're also seeing great enthusiasm and excitement in our segment of the tech industry—unlike anything I've seen in my 34 years in business.

"As a result of these positive factors, my team has continued to invest personally in WEYL. In fact, over the last few years, I have invested more dollars in WEYL than I've received in salary as president and CEO of the company. I believe there is no stronger demonstration of my unwavering belief in our value proposition and ability to deliver superior value for our stakeholders."

Last month, the company completed its acquisition of the eCommerce technology company, Push Interactive, a direct-to-consumer eCommerce platform that provides an end-to-end solution for enterprises and major U.S. brands that include HomeAdvisor, QuinStreet and Sunrun.

On a combined pro forma basis, the companies anticipate reporting $11.9 million in revenue for the fourth quarter of 2019, with total revenue of $42.3 million for the year. The combined annualized run rate on a pro forma basis totaled more than $60.6 million at year-end 2019.

As the result of the company's strong course of growth and development over the last year, it is preparing to uplist to the Nasdaq Stock Market. This move is expected to attract the attention of a broader base of investors, particularly institutional and family offices.

Additional details regarding the purchases can be found in disclosures on Form 4 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov.

Breaking #Fintech News: Weyland Tech (OTCQX: $WEYL) to Launch CreateApp in Taiwan in Partnership with Leading Line Corp. Affiliate, Now Mastery; @weylandtechinc

Breaking #Fintech News: Weyland Tech (OTCQX: $WEYL) to Launch CreateApp in Taiwan in Partnership with Leading Line Corp. Affiliate, Now Mastery; @weylandtechinc

NEW YORK - February 6, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Weyland Tech, Inc. (OTCQX: WEYL) plans to launch its CreateApp mCommerce platform-as-a-service in Taiwan within the next few weeks, allowing the more than 1.3 million small-and-medium sized businesses (SMBs) across the country to easily establish and manage a mobile presence.

Read this news featuring WEYL in full at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/WEYL/news/2020/02061CreateApp-Taiwan.asp

CreateApp enables businesses to create and deploy native mobile applications for Apple iOS and Google Android without technical knowledge or background. CreateApp empowers SMBs to increase sales, reach more customers, manage logistics, conduct financial transactions, and promote their products and services in an easy, affordable and highly efficient way. The CreateApp user base, comprised of businesses across Southeast Asia, grew 47 percent last year to more than 360,000.

To support the launch in Taiwan, Weyland has partnered with Now Mastery, LLP, an affiliate of NYSE-listed Line Corporation. Line provides a platform for mobile messaging and communication services, content distribution and financial services primarily in Japan, Taiwan, Thailand and Indonesia.

Now Mastery is led by Joseph Kay, a best-selling author in Taiwan who is widely considered the preeminent authority on Internet marketing for small business owners. Kay has attracted more than 400,000 followers on Line's small-business marketplace and 67,000 on Facebook.

Now Mastery will offer its followers special subscription pricing for CreateApp of US$25 - $110 per month, depending on the features and modules they use. Now Mastery will also provide ongoing advice and support for users on the platform.

"The citizens of Taiwan are well-known for being first adopters of the latest technologies and solutions," noted CreateApp's chief product officer and founder, Eddie Foong. "In fact, technology has been the key driver of Taiwan's economy for decades, and it has transformed the island into one of the world's leading manufacturing hubs, home to some of the world's largest semiconductor companies.

"The country has recently been making great strides in strengthening its startup ecosystem, with a surge in venture capital, government support, and reforms helping to revitalize the economy and increase the visibility of the next generation of entrepreneurs. Altogether, this makes Taiwan an ideal marketplace for CreateApp market expansion after Indonesia and more recently North America."

While Taiwan's population of 28 million is small compared to other markets in the region, its consumer habits and openness make it an easy market to navigate, as well as introduce and test consumer acceptance of new online services. Internet speeds in Taiwan rank among the top in the world; IP protection is well-established, and the cultural similarities to China make for good testing grounds to launch and experiment with new ideas before moving into larger regional markets.

According to Export.gov, more than 85 percent of Taiwanese citizens are connected to the Internet and more than 70 percent access the Internet using a smartphone device, making it one of the most connected consumer bases in the world. Further, a significant portion of the population is now shopping on mobile devices. In Taiwan, 48 percent of all online transactions are mobile-based, and this number is expected to reach 61 percent by 2022.

"Given these favorable market dynamics, we are excited to partner with the esteemed Joseph Kay and his Now Mastery organization to launch CreateApp in Taiwan," commented Weyland CEO, Brent Suen. "We expect even a small penetration of their large following to result in a significant contribution to our recurring revenue stream by the end of the first quarter."

Weyland's recent acquisition of Minneapolis-based Push Interactive is also expected to provide lead-generation tools for Taiwanese SMBs to increase their online sales.

Based in Japan, LINE Corporation (NYSE:LN/TSE:3938) is dedicated to the mission of "Closing the Distance," bringing together information, services and people.
