SAN FRANCISCO, California--VMware announced today that it has closed its Uhana acquisition, and unveiled the next release of its OpenStack solution. Uhana, which provides artificial intelligence and machine learning optimization for mobile networks, will be particularly useful in 5G radio access networks (RANs) and the buildout of the 5G core. "We see a major change coming with all the radio aspects," said VMware's Gabriele di Piazza, vice president of managed products and solutions for telco NFV and edge cloud. "We invested in Uhana to provide fine-grained streaming analytics, which actually leverage direct feeds from radio networks, and then we can apply AI techniques, such as machine learning, to what we call observe, predict and control your network. "With Uhana, we are getting deep into the network.

The World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2019), the annual technological fest which will open its doors from Aug 29 to 31 in Shanghai, has announced the schedule for its first day. The opening ceremony, scheduled in the morning, will kick-off with a round-table meeting and keynote speeches from government officials, scholars and leading entrepreneurs sharing their insight on the theme of "Intelligent Connectivity Enables Infinite Possibilities". Coming off the back of the opening ceremony are two major forums focusing on technological trends, AI application scenarios, industry ecosystems, AI-related education and policies. Looking to integrate AI technology into the commercial activities and draw a blueprint to envision the direction and trends of the industry from multilateral and international perspectives, the forum on industrial development will gather academic representatives and leading entrepreneurs in round-table dialogues. China, having embraced AI technology with open arms, will continue to contribute to the global AI development with determination, deploying AI strategic plans to empower and transform the global economy.

The fictional character of Dr. Dolittle has captured the imagination of millions of children with his ability to talk to animals – and now the idea of using technology to listen to and better understand animals is capturing the imagination of AI experts around the world. For example, AI language-analysis technology is being used to decode the sounds of bottlenose dolphins and compile a dictionary of dolphin language. This work is taking place on a global scale, across a vast variety of species. Researchers are using technology to gather data that could address some of the biggest environmental challenges of our time, including some with grants from Microsoft's AI for Earth program helping achieve their goals. Here is a snapshot of some of the projects underway – and what they hope to achieve.

Jaguar Land Rover's next-generation head-up display also enables streaming of 3D movies in the cabin. It may be a while until we realize the traffic accident-reducing benefits of self-driving vehicles, but when it finally arrives the driver will have a little time on their hands. Jaguar Land Rover has been exploring 3D head-up display technology as a way to deliver more safety-related information to the driver, and maybe also provide better entertainment when hands aren't on the wheel. Head-up display is already used by many automotive brands to provide navigation and other traffic information projected onto the windshield in front of the driver. With directions or alerts projected directly in the driver's field of vision, the technology reduces the need to divert eyes from the road and lessens distracted driving. Jaguar Land Rover is exploring the addition of 3D display to this safety feature in a research partnership with University of Cambridge.

Turning a traditional car into an autonomous vehicle is an enormous challenge. At NVIDIA, we're tackling the problem by building the essential blocks of autonomous driving -- categorized into perception, localization, and planning/control software -- and applying high-performance compute. To test and validate our DRIVE AV Software, we use simulation testing with our DRIVE Constellation platform and operate test cars on public roads around our headquarters in Santa Clara, Calif., and other locations around the world. With safety-certified drivers at the wheel and and co-pilots monitoring the system, the vehicles handle highway interchanges, lane changes and other maneuvers, testing the various software components in the real world. At the core of our perception building blocks are deep neural networks (DNNs).

There's no mistaking why the leopard cat of Taiwan got its name. While only about the size of domestic felines, it sports a beautiful, flower-spotted pattern on its fur. There's also no debate about why the leopard cat, the only remaining native wild cat species in Taiwan, is on the edge of extinction. Fewer than 500 of the leopard cats live in a natural habitat that overlaps with many development projects in the central regions of the island. In an otherwise rural area, the cats are often victims of roadkill due to increased traffic.

Huawei Technologies has unveiled a new high-end artificial intelligence (AI) chip for servers, bidding to grow its share of the booming cloud services market even as the world's largest network equipment vendor battles a US trade ban. Ascend 910, an AI processor first mentioned by Huawei in Shanghai last year, is the "world's most powerful AI processor" targeted at AI model training, the company said in a press release on Friday. Huawei added that it sees AI as a "general purpose technology" that can be used in almost every sector of the economy. "The Ascend 910 has performed much better than initial expectations," said Eric Xu Zhijun, Huawei's rotating chairman at the media launch in Shenzhen. "Without doubt, it has more computing power than any other AI processor in the world."

There's a time in a self-driving car company's life where a minivan is just more sensible than a sleek, European city car. NuTonomy, the autonomous vehicle startup spun out of MIT that's putting its systems through their paces on the streets of South Boston, says it has "decommissioned" its fleet of five-door, "supermini" electric cars manufactured by French automaker Renault under the brand name Zoe, according to a quarterly update the startup filed with the city of Boston. NuTonomy has been testing the vehicles on the city streets since January 2017. "The Zoe vehicle platform, with significant customizations, has performed all of our autonomous testing in Boston to date," the company writes. "However, as our engineering and design teams evaluated the technology requirements and customer needs in a fully autonomous vehicle, it became clear that the Zoe could not meet all of the criteria."
