AI in security market to grow 31.38% by 2025
The AI in security market is expected to be valued at U.S.D 3.92 billion in 2017 and is likely to reach U.S.D 34.81 billion by 2025, at a CAGR of 31.38 percent during the forecast period. Factors such as the increasing U.S.e of the Internet and constant need for employees to be online are contributing to the growth of the market. Another major factor boosting the demand for AI-based security solutions is the shortage of cybersecurity professionals. The U.S.e of AI-based solutions for cybersecurity can mitigate the need for cybersecurity professionals. The inability of AI to stop zero-day and advanced threats, and limited security budgets of companies are the two major factors restraining the growth of the AI in security market.
Baidu sets its sights on Japan with a voice-enabled projector in a dome light
Over the course of the last few years, the company has built a voice assistant and an ecosystem of hardware partners that, for the most part, cater to the Chinese market. At CES this week, the company talked a bit more about its own first-party smart speaker: the oddly compelling Raven H, which looks nothing like what you imagine a smart speaker would look like. In addition, though, it also showed off the popIn Aladdin, a dome light with a built-in projector that the company specifically designed for the small apartment you find in countries like Japan. It's kind of ingenious when you think about. In a small room, you may not have the necessary space for a projector and speaker, but with the Aladdin, you get both, plus a voice-enabled smart speaker that hangs from your ceiling.
Next step in driverless cars: Boot the driver
Toyota took the wraps off a new self-driving transportation concept at CES, and it can be anything from a pizza delivery van to a camper for your next vacation. LAS VEGAS โ Auto and tech companies are racing to get human drivers completely out of their self-driving cars, perhaps as soon as this year. Numerous companies have been testing small fleets of autonomous vehicles on highways and city streets, yet, to date, nearly all of these vehicles have had test drivers or engineers inside, ready to take over should the unexpected happen. One of the hottest discussion topics at this week's CES conference -- formerly called the Consumer Electronics Show -- is when companies expect to boot their so-called safety drivers out of their autonomous vehicles. A Toyota executive explained how the Japanese automaker is aiming to demonstrate a true self-driving vehicle -- one without a human babysitter -- in time for the 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics.

IBM breaks patent record with 25th straight year in top spot
NEW YORK/WASHINGTON โ IBM Corp. was once again awarded the highest number of U.S. patents in 2017, as the company pushes into blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies. IBM received 9,043 patents in 2017, breaking the record it set in 2016, the company said Tuesday. A lot of the research that IBM conducts may not translate to immediate business gains, and it could take years before patents turn into a product that pays off. The company also invests in exploratory research unrelated to business lines and goals. Despite winning the most patents for the 25th straight year, IBM is struggling to turn itself around.
How can India drive growth with high-end Engineering Services Outsourcing? Forbes India Blog
India's outsourcing industry is pegged at $150 billion and has been hailed as an engine of job creation and plays a key role in driving the economy to greater heights. The trajectory of growth started around the year 2000 and led to the country building capabilities in the areas of Information Technology (IT), Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and Engineering Services Outsourcing (ESO). This presented India with a natural and acquired advantage in terms of talent availability, putting it on the global map as a destination for high-quality and competitive technology skills. Today, the Indian ESO sector is well-poised to shift away from the traditional back-office services to more high-end technology work and serve growing sectors such as the global Aerospace & Defence (A&D) industry. Strengths and Opportunities Galore There are some key strengths that India inherently possesses as a potential growth destination of high-end engineering services.
How to involve the public in the development of artificial intelligence
This year algorithms discovered a planet, taught themselves to play chess and wrote a pretty bizarre Harry Potter novel. But they also allowed fake news to influence the US election and enabled advanced mass surveillance in China. Artificial intelligence (AI), not the type that will see super intelligent robots destroy humanity, but the type that might deny you a credit card or develop a scarily accurate picture of your life, is already starting to shape how we live. This will only continue as governments start to invest huge sums in the field. Where are the voices of ordinary people in the conversation about how AI should develop?
CES 2018: Can AI deliver for humans?
In Las Vegas this week you can learn a lot about the exciting potential of artificial intelligence. You can also be left wondering whether AI is a triumph of marketing, yet to deliver real improvements to the economy and the way we live. One of my first stops here was at a University of Las Vegas robotics lab. Sophia is a humanoid robot with a face that strays dangerously close to that "Uncanny Valley" where machines look just a little too human for comfort. She achieved fame and some notoriety when Saudi Arabia named her its first robot citizen, a stunt which saw many question whether machines were now being given freedoms denied to Saudi women.
2018 will see tech focus on making our devices not just smart, but AI smart
In the coming year, artificial intelligence will make its way from centralized servers to our handheld devices and home gadgets, and will become a dominant force in all areas in which huge amounts of data are used, Israeli experts say. AI, once a matter of data and algorithms fed to machines to make them think like a human, is used today for a wide range of applications, from facial recognition to detection of diseases in medical images to global competitions in games such as chess and Go.
