CARLSBAD, CA / ACCESSWIRE / August 6, 2020 / OPTEC International, Inc (OTC PINK:OPTI) The Company CEO announced the OPTEC solution to the Safely Re-Open American Schools and Business's plan using a suite of OPTEC advanced technology products. The company solution includes the introduction of the new "Safe-Scan" stand-alone infrared temperature scanning technology for use in complying with CDC standards for assisting the reopening of Schools, Churches, Gym's businesses, health and senior care facilities and government buildings during the current pandemic crisis. The free-standing thermal temperature scanning models feature advanced engineered technology and are FCC certified scans for elevated temperature and mask compliance in less than one second. The scanner recognizes individuals passing by the device with or without masks and/or with an elevated body temperature at which time will emit an audio alert and red flashing light, while regular temperature scans receive an" Access Allowed" green light audio alert. The device recognizes the no mask alert and the "Please Wear a Mask" audio alert is voiced.

In a significant advance in the development of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), the Brain Simulator II neural simulator successfully tested one billion neurons on a desktop computer comprised completely of off-the-shelf components. From a performance perspective, the system processed three billion synapses per second. Brain Simulator II is an open-source software platform for proving the evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) to AGI. Seen as another step toward creating brain-level functionality on computers, the spiking neural models used by the Brain Simulator II are more like biological neurons than traditional AI models and contribute immensely to the efficiency of the program. The computer used for this achievement included an AMD Ryzen Threadripper 3990X CPU running at 2.9Ghz (not overclocked) and 128 Gigabytes of RAM.

HALIFAX, NS, Aug. 4, 2020 /CNW/ - Global Spatial Technology Solutions ("GSTS" or "the Company") an Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Maritime Analytics company today announced that it has been selected by the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) to develop space-based AI capability to support enhanced decision-making for a range of space applications focused on tasks using computer vision (such as would be used by exploration landers, rovers, robotics or Earth observation systems). This project is funded under the Space Technology Development Program. "This contribution will enable GSTS to expand our growing AI capabilities into the space sector to support decision making based on the same techniques we utilize in the maritime domain, enabling detection, recognition and prediction," said Richard Kolacz, GSTS CEO. "It is equivalent to placing the brain next to the eyes of any space asset or sensor in order to support decision-making locally, rather than having to relay all the data to Earth for analysis before a decision can be made. It is the first step in the development of truly autonomous space capability." Computer vision involves the automatic extraction, analysis and understanding of information gleaned from digital images. By applying machine learning, which is a type of AI, it can enhance and optimize the production of actionable insights much faster and more accurately than a human can.

After more than five months of the coronavirus pandemic in the United States, White House briefings and press conferences still lack an American Sign Language interpreter. On Monday, a week after President Trump resumed his daily briefings, the National Association of the Deaf filed a lawsuit against the White House arguing that the continued refusal to include an interpreter violates the Americans With Disabilities Act. "All 50 states' governors have provided in-frame American Sign Language ('ASL') interpretation during public briefings regarding the pandemic," the lawsuit notes. "President Trump, however, does not. He now stands alone in holding televised briefings regarding the Covid-19 pandemic without ever having provided any ASL Interpretation."

Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and computer processors have opened new ways for face recognition online services not possible before. Startups all over the world are developing Apps and products that make use of Face Recognition. Moreover, they are bringing products into the market with user authentication, attendance tracking and photo grouping (for event photographers) capabilities, to name a few. Face Recognition Online software components are challenging to develop in-house. For this reason, it makes sense for startups and software companies to buy this capability from specialized vendors.

Asia Pacific Assistive Robotics Association (APARA), a non-profit organization founded to facilitate adoption and augmentation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Robotics, today announced AIBotics Go-Digital Series 2020, an AI and Robotics event themed around'Augmenting the Human Potential', will be launched between August and November 2020, aiming to facilitate the increasing dependency on AI technology into improving human lives. An international event endorsed and supported by the International Alliance of Robotics Associations (IARA) and a number of global and regional partners including the University of Oxford, the ASEAN Smart Cities Network, Japan Science & Technology Agency, the Malaysian Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Association, among others, AIBotics Go-Digital Series 2020 reviews ethical and responsible AI and robotics innovations through webinars and a virtual exhibition 24 hours a day, seven days a week from August for four months, bringing together renowned industry experts as well as a number of projects and innovative solutions from all around the world. To enable a smart, seamless and sustainable digital conferencing experience, APARA is collaborating with Tencent Cloud, the official conferencing solution provider of AIBotics Go-Digital Series 2020, to bring visitors and delegates a series of power-packed webinars and a virtual exhibition through Tencent Cloud Conference (TCC) solutions which have been widely adopted by local and overseas organizations and enterprises at online and digital business conferences, annual meetings, road shows, lectures, industry forums, among others. "As we adjust to the'new normal' brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic, AI has also become much more mainstream while allowing gatherings and business meetings to be held amid current circumstances. We are excited to present AIBotics Go-Digital Series 2020, highlighting how AI and Robotics can truly augment human potential, which is a timely message in light of the virus-related disruptions globally," said Shanlynn Lee, President of APARA.

Careline Health Group, a healthcare organization that provides Hospice and Physician Service care for families and patients who face serious or terminal illness, has implemented Muse Healthcare's machine learning and predictive modeling tools to meet the needs of their patients. The Muse technology evaluates and models every clinical assessment, medication, vital sign and other relevant data to perform a risk stratification of these patients. The tool then highlights the patients with the most critical needs and visually alerts the agency to perform additional care. It also makes accurate changes to the care plans based on the condition and location of the patient (LTC, SNF or in home). According to Careline Health Group's Chief Executive Officer, Joe Mead, data from Muse provides meaningful insights for their patients.

Google has announced that it will invest $450 million in security firm ADT, forming a partnership that will allow ADT's technicians to sell and install Google's Nest family of products. At the same time, Google's Nest devices and AI technology will eventually expand ADT's home security product range and become the "cornerstone of ADT's smart home offering," Google wrote. The initial goal of Google's investment, which gives it a 6.6 percent share of ADT, will be to get its products into the hands of more consumers. "The company's network of thousands of professional technicians will be able to sell and install devices like Nest Cameras and Nest Hub Max, all powered by Google Assistant," the company said in a news release. Later on, ADT will borrow Google's tech to enhance its own capabilities.
