Instead Of Ten-Figure Funding, This Robotaxi Startup Has Actual Customers

#artificialintelligence

Among the big auto Goliaths and their swollen check-writing wrists, there's a little startup armed with a slingshot and bragging rights. That startup is Voyage, and it has some lessons to teach the mobility sector. The team who spun out of Udacity's self-driving car nano degree program has raised just over $20M to date, per CEO Oliver Cameron. For reference, that's two orders of magnitude smaller than the last investment round announced by GM's Cruise. And unlike Cruise, Voyage has customers today.


Companies making AI for analyzing satellite images face new US restrictions on exports to China, elsewhere

FOX News

Gordon Chang, author of'The Coming Collapse of China,' offers a readout for the new year. Beginning Monday, technology companies in the U.S. will face new restrictions on exporting some of their more state-of-the-art products to China and elsewhere, according to the Commerce Department. These new export rules -- for companies building artificial intelligence software for analyzing satellite imagery -- are targeting emerging technology that could give the U.S. a significant military or intelligence advantage. A special license would be required to sell software outside the U.S. that could scan aerial images automatically to identify objects of interest, such as vehicles or houses. Elon Musk warns against'advanced AI' and its manipulation of social media.


High-tech LCD sun visor uses AI to know where your eyes are and casts a shadow to shade them

Daily Mail - Science & tech

A transparent sun visor that uses AI to establish the location of your eyes and cast a shade on them has been developed by an engineering company. The high-tech visor, the first update to the vehicle essential since the 1920s, darkens see-through liquid crystals to protect drivers' eyes without blocking their view. Developed by Bosch, it is due to go on display at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this week, and could help reduce the number of fatalities on the roads. Bosch has invented a visor that uses AI to only cast shadow onto a drivers' eyes Speaking before the conference, Dr Steffen Berns, president of Bosch Car Multimedia, told The Times: 'The visor as we know it is not enough to avoid hazardous sun glare, especially at dawn and dusk'. The company's'virtual visor' uses a screen larger than a traditional one that hangs over the windscreen ready to produce shade when needed, and blocks up to 90 per cent less of the area than a traditional visor, according to the company.


U.S. restricts exports of AI for analyzing satellite images

The Japan Times

WASHINGTON โ€“ U.S. technology companies that build artificial intelligence software for analyzing satellite imagery will face new restrictions on exporting their products to China and elsewhere. The Commerce Department said new export rules take effect Monday that target emerging technology that could give the U.S. a significant military or intelligence advantage. A special license would be required to sell software outside the U.S. that can automatically scan aerial images to identify objects of interest, such as vehicles or houses. The rules could affect a growing sector of the tech industry using algorithms to analyze satellite images of crops, trade patterns and other changes affecting the economy or environment. The new export rules are the result of Congress passing a law in 2018 that updated national security-related export controls to protect "emerging and foundational" technology that could end up in the hands of foreign governments.


Building the unimaginable

Today's article is about a particularly inspiring AGI Podcast revolving around decentralized efforts to achieve synoptical systems for social good, and which ties in with a new endeavor undertaken by the SingularityNET team. This week we interviewed a prominent figure in the European blockchain and AI innovation scene: Jan-Peter Doomernik. Jan-Peter is Nature 2.0's Lead Architect and a Senior Business Developer working in one of Holland's leading distribution service operators (DSO) Enexis Netbeheer. In the podcast, we discuss the "demystification of complexity", the upcoming Odyssey hackathon, and the efforts that civil society, academia and industry can make to introduce new autonomous systems imbued with humanitarianism. "In forests, you have big trees and little trees and those trees are connected like a network in which the big trees share resources of sunlight and water to the little trees so that the little trees do not have to become competitors."


CES Gadget Show: How Watching TV Will Change in the 2020s

#artificialintelligence

Beyond streaming, expect to see artificial intelligence-infused home appliances, security cameras and cars, new gadgets that show what faster 5G cellular service can offer and, as always, the newest in robots and souped-up TVs. Speakers this week include Ivanka Trump, the president's daughter and senior adviser, and Hyunsuk Kim, Samsung's head of consumer electronics. As technology increasingly infuses our lives, more traditional companies are showing up for the Las Vegas event. CES has hosted previous attempts to set out a road map for TV. At the 2015 show, satellite TV company Dish announced a cheaper, cable-like package of TV channels delivered over the internet and intended for cord-cutters .


20 Metatrends for the Roaring 20s

In the decade ahead, waves of exponential technological advancements are stacking atop one another, eclipsing decades of breakthroughs in scale and impact. Emerging from these waves are 20 "Metatrends," likely to revolutionize entire industries (old and new), redefine tomorrow's generation of businesses and contemporary challenges, and transform our livelihoods from the bottom-up. Among these metatrends are augmented human longevity, the surging smart economy, AI-human collaboration, urbanized cellular agriculture, and high-bandwidth brain-computer interfaces, just to name a few. It is here that master entrepreneurs and their teams must see beyond the immediate implications of a given technology, capturing second-order, Google-sized business opportunities on the horizon. Welcome to a new decade of runaway technological booms, historic watershed moments, and extraordinary abundance.
