Are you a nighttime driver? Some people like to drive at night and enjoy pretending they are in their Batmobile and seeking to fight crime. There are some people that reluctantly drive at night -- they drive at night because they need to get home from work or carry out other errands, but otherwise believe that nighttime driving has inherent hazards. There are those that entirely avoid driving at night because they either have difficulty driving at night, or they know that the stats about night driving are scary, or because they believe that vampires come out at night. Speaking of stats, according to various governmental reports, it is said that there is about 60% less traffic at night but 40% of all fatal car accidents happen at nighttime, furthermore the fatality rate for car occupants is about three times higher at night than during the daytime, and the fatal crash rate for 16-year-old drivers is twice what it is at night versus during the day (a good reason to keep your teenager from driving at night!). What makes nighttime driving so terrible? One aspect is the impact on visibility.

Israeli AI computer vision solutions developer Eyesight Technologies has announced a $15 million order for its Driver Monitoring System - DriverSense, from a well-known US OEM. DriverSense will be integrated into two new car models with the start of production scheduled for 2021. Eyesight Technologies CEO David Tolub said, "We are proud to continue building our US market presence with this latest design win. As we progress towards more advanced levels of autonomy, L3 and L4, the integration of driver monitoring will play an important role in driver safety and in ensuring the transitions between man and machine are safe and secure. The most dangerous aspect of the shared driver-seat will be the hand-off between the AI and human driver."

Kraft and Heinz products are shown on March 25, 2015 in Chicago, Illinois. Kraft Heinz has named a new global CIO as the packaged foods giant seeks to turn around its performance following a sales slide and significant writedowns in the value of some of its most prominent brands. Corrado Azzarita, 49, was previously in charge of IT projects at the company in areas including supply chain, finance, and legal and corporate affairs. He replaces Francesco Tinto, who was appointed global CIO at Walgreens Boots Alliance in September. Kraft Heinz has had a rough year.

From Equifax to Yahoo, and Facebook to Marriott, large-scale data breaches impacting hundreds of millions of consumers have received their fair share of media attention in recent years. All this ink hasn't been spilled (or pixels displayed) in vain: there's growing awareness among business leaders of the security and privacy risks their organizations face, and increasing concern that their preparedness may be inadequate. In a recent PwC survey, for example, 72% of CEOs worldwide listed cybercriminal activity as a significant threat to their businesses, yet only 35% were comfortable with their organization's digital resilience and readiness to face such threats. Especially among small and mid-sized enterprises, the growth in awareness of the severity and urgency of cybersecurity risks is driving demand for managed security services. Organizations are increasingly turning to external vendors to help them build, maintain, and monitor their security operations programs and the technologies that comprise them.

D.C.-based United States Postal Service (USPS) has adopted an AI technology from California-based NVIDIA to help process mail 10 times faster and more accurately. USPS is an independent agency responsible for providing postal service throughout the U.S., processing about 146 billion pieces of mail annually, including more than 6 billion packages. Founded in 1993, NVIDIA designs graphics processing units (GPU) for companies working in the gaming, robotics, healthcare and automotive industries, as well as other AI tech for mobile computing. The partnership with USPS was announced at NVIDIA's fourth annual GPU Technology Conference in D.C. last week. Announcing the United States Postal Service -- the world's largest delivery service, with 146 billion pieces of mail processed and delivered annually--is adopting NVIDIA #AI technology to process mail 10x faster.

Though machine learning has the power to dramatically change healthcare, physicians should not fear being overrun by robots, according to the Harvard Business Review. Although machine learning can prevent patients from getting sick and diagnose a patient, the software can't provide care and treatment to patients. Additionally, machine learning lacks the human element in healthcare. While having data can be powerful, not all data is sufficient and necessary. Healthcare organizations must collect the right data and fully understand it.

The past few years have ushered in the "modernize movement" within the contact center industry. Companies are recognizing the need to upgrade their systems, but often create a new problem while fixing an old one. How do companies modernize without over-complicating their contact centers? The answer is artificial intelligence (AI), which is an answer dripping with irony: fixing a new problem – created by trying to bring a contact center into the 21st century – with a futuristic solution! But, as we marked the 50th anniversary of the moon landing this summer, we embrace the Apollo spirit of solving problems that didn't exist before we embarked on a seemingly impossible task.
