SYS-CON Events announced today that Auditwerx will exhibit at SYS-CON's 20th International Cloud Expo, which will take place on June 6-8, 2017, at the Javits Center in New York City, NY. Auditwerx specializes in SOC 1, SOC 2, and SOC 3 attestation services throughout the U.S. and Canada. As a division of Carr, Riggs & Ingram (CRI), one of the top 20 largest CPA firms nationally, you can expect the resources, skills, and experience of a much larger firm combined with the accessibility and attention of a boutique firm. All major researchers estimate there will be tens of billions devices - computers, smartphones, tablets, and sensors - connected to the Internet by 2020. This number will continue to grow at a rapid pace for the next several decades.

An all-electric Renault ZOE is writing fan fiction based on Jack Kerouac's novel "On the Road" to demonstrate how far modern EVs can travel on a charge. Also, presumably, this will impress ZOE's latest crush, who loves Beat literature. The car uses live driving data and artificial intelligence to generate fan fiction authorized by the Kerouac estate in the style of the famous novel. The AI takes information from internal and external sensors as the car drives through Stockholm and turns it into "contextual storylines," according to the press release. These stories are unique to each driver, depending on what inputs occur during the drives.

KEY DYNAMICS: Software "robotic" applications recently picked up lot of media attention which acts like excel macros and replicates human employee's mundane tasks/actions is transforming the enterprises internal processes and IT functions. RPA tools has witnessed an evolution in terms of capabilities, value delivery, deployment models and impact on global mindset. Organizations dealing with global pressure to increase their revenues, transform their business models and reduce operational costs are leveraging RPA solutions and services in conjunction with machine learning, cognitive computing, artificial intelligence, natural language processing, speech recognition, vision technology, big data analytics, and many more technologies. Integration of RPA capabilities with these above mentioned technologies broadens the application areas and support companies to become agile in their digital journey. However, this is creating challenge for human workers to be replaced and force them to think hard on re-evaluating their existing skill base and reskill to stay relevant in the market.

Newswire) Remesh, a software company that is reinventing market research through artificial intelligence (AI), today announced the closing of its $2.25 million seed investment round that brings its total funding to $3.85 million. The round is led by LionBird Ventures, a venture capital firm investing in early stage digital health and business services companies with offices in Tel Aviv and Chicago. The round also includes Reimagine Holdings Group, a holding company focused on growing consumer insights and marketing services companies, as well as individual investors, representing a mix of new and returning investors. "We believe that Remesh has shown real potential to change the way brands, consultants and agencies listen to feedback from their audiences," said Ed Michael, Managing Partner at LionBird Ventures. "Remesh has recognized a way to solve for a number of inefficiencies in market research using artificial intelligence. This new model not only replaces legacy systems, but establishes entirely new market research workflows."

Newswire) Digital Reasoning, a leader in cognitive computing, was announced as the company with the'Best Artificial Intelligence Technology' at the WatersTechnology.com Digital Reasoning created the Synthesys cognitive computing platform, which is one of the most widely-adopted AI systems within financial services and used by many of the world's leading investment banks in applications ranging across risk and compliance, financial crime, and customer insights. Synthesys understands and analyzes human communications. Most communications data is unstructured, making it virtually unreadable using conventional technology. By applying artificial intelligence, Synthesys makes sense of human language in text, audio and images, and resolves who is talking about what and with whom.

Facebook's AI assistant, known simply as M, will now pop into your Messenger chat windows to suggest actions it can take on your behalf, the company announced today. The feature is rolling out to iOS and Android users in the US, with a broader expansion around the globe in the coming months. Facebook first began testing this feature in December, and it appears ready to be unleashed on the public. The current system works by analyzing your conversation and looking for key words to trigger M's suggestive capabilities. Those capabilities include sending stickers on your behalf, initiating payment requests through Messenger, calling a ride-hailing app like Uber and Lyft, starting a poll for group chat participants, and sharing your location with others. M will also look for key words that suggest you're trying to make plans with a friend and jump in to help coordinate that.

Google's DeepMind announced today that it was open sourcing Sonnet, its object-oriented neural network library. Sonnet doesn't replace TensorFlow, it's simply a higher-level library that meshes well with DeepMind's internal best-practices for research. Specifically, DeepMind says in its blog post that the library is optimized to make it easier to switch between different models when conducting experiments so that engineers don't have to upend their entire projects. To this avail, the team made changes to TensorFlow to make it easier to consider models as hierarchies. DeepMind also added transparency to variable sharing. It's in DeepMind's own interest to open source Sonnet.

Mobvoi Inc., the Chinese artificial intelligence startup backed by Google, is getting a $180 million investment from Volkswagen AG to join a race to build the technology into cars. The startup, founded in 2012 by a group of former Googlers, will develop products for Volkswagen models and possibly other brands based on its voice-recognition and natural language processing technology. That includes a smart rear view mirror that provides navigation, messaging and information through voice input, the company said in a statement. Chinese tech giants are pushing into technologies that have the potential to transform the auto industry. Last month, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd. led an investment in WayRay, which makes holographic displays for cars.
