A few years ago, Artificial Intelligence seemed like a distant dream, but now it's an everyday reality. From chatbots to self-driving cars, AI is learning more about humans and simultaneously assisting them to make everyday life easier. AI is now increasingly being used in creating digital marketing strategies and has proven to be way more effective than traditional marketing methods. Jumping on to the bandwagon of AI operated marketing, Indian-American entrepreneur Gurbaksh Chahal founded RedLotus. Chahal is a serial entrepreneur and philanthropist who is using AI to completely revolutionize the way digital marketing works for brands.

LexisNexis Risk Solutions, the leading data, analytics and technology provider for the insurance industry, has created the first purpose-driven Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and vehicle safety classification system for auto insurance pricing and claims analysis. The new classification system helps insurers break down barriers through access to relevant data and insights from automakers' ADAS features. It will be leveraged in the soon-to-be released LexisNexis Vehicle Build, a solution that identifies and categorizes specific ADAS equipped features at the VIN-level, enabling insurers to establish the differences in risk profile associated with these features. Among new U.S. vehicles, 92.7% have at least one ADAS feature available as an option, according to SBD Automotive. Other safety feature classification systems may categorize features into just'Active' or'Passive' groups, but the new LexisNexis ADAS classification system, also uses myriad ADAS descriptors used by car manufacturers and groups those features by their specific purpose.

While the overall artificial intelligence (AI) market saw steady growth last year, SAS experienced growth at a rate nearly four times faster than the overall market, at 104.6% according to the IDC report, Worldwide Artificial Intelligence Software Platforms Market Shares, 2018: Steady Growth -- Moving Toward Production1. SAS ranked second overall in 2018 in the AI software platforms category. "SAS had impressive growth in the artificial intelligence market, no doubt as a result of its leadership in analytics," said David Schubmehl, Research Director, Cognitive/Artificial Intelligence Systems at IDC. "As organizations move from experimentation to production in AI to solve their business problems, many are looking for a trusted vendor that offers analytics expertise and domain knowledge. SAS' embedded AI capabilities and integration with open source technologies allows organizations to take advantage of the technology to automate processes, without the heavy lifting of training AI models." To continue fostering innovation and progress in an expanding market, SAS has committed to invest $1 billion in AI over the next three years.

Kryon, a leading provider of robotic process automation (RPA) solutions, announced this month the launch of AI Booster, a set of artificial intelligence (AI) services based on Microsoft Azure Cognitive Services to be integrated into the Kryon Automation Suite later this fall. Kryon says AI Booster will enable a "unified RPA and AI experience that delivers smarter end-to-end deployment and management through a single, intuitive platform." RPA solutions enable software "robots" to automate repetitive tasks and execute multi-step workflows. For instance, a solution can be configured to acknowledge receipt of a form, assess and extract the data in it, and then use that data to automatically do things like file the information, initiate a transaction, and inform appropriate managers of any action taken. Harel Tayeb, chief executive officer of Kryon, said AI Booster will enhance the ability of its RPA suite to leverage natural communication methods to understand and interpret users' needs.

WASHINGTON, D.C.-Today, U.S. Secretary of Energy Rick Perry announced the establishment of the DOE Artificial Intelligence and Technology Office (AITO). The Secretary has established the office to serve as the coordinating hub for the work being done across the DOE enterprise in Artificial Intelligence. This action has been taken as part of the President's call for a national AI strategy to ensure AI technologies are developed to positively impact the lives of Americans. DOE-fueled AI is already being used to strengthen our national security and cybersecurity, improve grid resilience, increase environmental sustainability, enable smarter cities, improve water resource management, as well as speed the discovery of new materials and compounds, and further the understanding, prediction, and treatment of disease. DOE's National Labs are home to four of the top ten fastest supercomputers in the world, and we're currently building three next-generation, exascale machines, which will be even faster and more AI-capable computers.
