Prophesee has released what it says is the first industrial event-based vision sensor in a commercially viable, industry standard package. Event-based vision technology takes a different imaging approach to traditional frame-based sensors. Each pixel in Prophesee's Metavision sensor only activates if it detects a change in the scene – an event – which means low power, latency and data processing requirements compared to traditional frame-based systems. The third-generation VGA sensor is aimed at developers of cameras for industrial automation and IoT systems such as robots, inspection equipment, monitoring, and surveillance devices. Prophesee has been working with camera maker Imago Technologies, which has integrated Prophesee's sensor inside its VisionCam smart camera. This Metavision sensor release opens up event-based imaging to many more camera makers and the wider industrial imaging market.

The recent announcement about Neuralink, Elon Musk's latest startup, added to the buzz already in the air about where tech is taking us in the not-so-distant future. Judging by its ambitious plans, which involve pairing computers wirelessly with the human brain, Neuralink demonstrates that the future is now. And a big part of that future is open source artificial intelligence (AI). Rapid advancements have opened up a whole new world of possibilities that startups can take advantage of right now. Traditionally, tech innovations were held close to the vest and developed in secret; no one wanted to give a leg up to the competition.

Nick Henry, General Manager, Managed Public Cloud at Rackspace. It's without a doubt that emerging technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning will critically underpin future productivity and services across a range of sectors, from retail to manufacturing and public sector services. More businesses are looking for ways to implement the newest innovations, driving massive growth in the global enterprise AI market, which is now anticipated to reach US$9880.4 million by 2023. To accelerate the value of AI and machine learning initiatives, a growing number of organisations are beginning to consult public cloud platforms for support. But when looking into public cloud to support the implementation of new technologies, a number of questions arise.

The Summit aims to bring together, CxOs (Analytics, Data, Information, Innovation, Technology), Strategists & Decision Makers, start-ups and thought leaders to discuss and focus on how AI uncover AI's limitations and untapped opportunities and anticipate how AI will change the business landscape.

Ada Lovelace Day is in its 10th year, and to mark it, Jordan Erica Webber is joined by the founder of the event, Suw Charman-Anderson, to talk about why we need to do more to help support women working in STEM.

Sony Interactive Entertainment, the creator of all things PlayStation, has filed an intriguing patent for a "VOICE HELP SYSTEM USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE" and it is presumably one of the features that'll arrive with PlayStation 5. Sony's voice AI help assistant can pull gameplay videos stored on a backend server when a query is made by the player. The following patent was filed by Sony Interactive Entertainment on September 26 at the the United States Patent and Trademark Office. Information related to a plurality of game plays of players for a gaming application is received over a network at a back-end server. A query is received from a first player playing the gaming application, wherein the query is related to first gameplay of the first player. A current game context of the first gameplay of a first player is determined from the information.

The use of "nudges" in policymaking has been a major trend since the UK launched the world's first government-embedded behavioural insights unit in 2010. But governments around the world, from Denmark to Singapore, have been using principles from behavioural science to influence citizens since at least the 1960s. That's according to a new World Bank report, Behavioural Science Around the World, which highlights 10 countries that are pioneering the use of behavioural insights: Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Peru, Singapore, the UK and the US. The World Bank report looks at how these teams are integrated into government, which projects they're working on and how they are run -- and, most importantly, which experiments have worked. It predicts that in the future, behavioural insights units will benefit from artificial intelligence, machine learning and virtual reality the same way they've gained from advancements in open data and e-government.

There is a huge whitespace waiting to be filled by the tech companies that recognize the power and potential of messaging. Roughly 63% of people prefer to share information on "dark social," or closed, private messaging environments like Facebook Messenger and WhatsApp. However, the experience on these platforms remains painfully circuitous. In order to share a single piece of content within a conversation, users typically have to leave their active chat, open a new window to locate and copy the file, then re-enter the original chat to paste and share. So there is a big opportunity in providing more intelligent ways to share content on messaging – whether that content is a funny animation, a dinner reservation, or the directions for getting somewhere.
