CES--Volvo Cars will use the NVIDIA DRIVE PX 2 deep learning- based computing engine to power a fleet of 100 Volvo XC90 SUVs starting to hit the road next year in the Swedish carmaker's Drive Me autonomous-car pilot program, NVIDIA announced today. Autonomous technology is an important contributor to Volvo's Vision 2020 -- its guiding principles for creating safer vehicles. This work has resulted in world-leading advancements in autonomous and semi-autonomous driving, and a new safety benchmark for the automotive industry. "Our vision is that no one should be killed or seriously injured in a new Volvo by the year 2020," said Marcus Rothoff, director of the Autonomous Driving Program at Volvo Cars. "NVIDIA's high-performance and responsive automotive platform is an important step towards our vision and perfect for our autonomous drive program and the Drive Me project."

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on Monday that chatbots will "fundamentally revolutionize how computing is experienced by everybody." Nadella explained that for now, bots will augment apps, but in time, human language will be taught to all computers and become "the new interface." "So pretty much everyone today who is building applications whether they be mobile apps or desktop apps or websites will build bots as the new interface, where you have a human dialogue interface versus menus of the past," he said. Nadella spoke onstage at Microsoft's Worldwide Partner Conference, an annual developer gathering in Toronto. He painted a similarly ambitious picture in April when Microsoft Bot Framework was launched at Build, Microsoft's annual developer conference.

Advancements in AI were recently spotlighted by AlphaGo, a computer program developed by Google's DeepMind team. The program -- which relies on decision-making algorithms and neural networks -- defeated a human European champion at the board game Go in a feat previously believed to be years away. On the investor side, Jim Breyer of Breyer Capital has said AI will deliver massive returns for investors betting on applications for industries including healthcare and entertainment.

WALTHAM, MA--(Marketwired - Jun 23, 2016) - CloudLock, the leading provider of Cloud Access Security Broker (CASB) and Cybersecurity-as-a-Service solutions, today announced the release of the next generation of its innovative machine learning capabilities to include suspicious login activity monitoring, location-based anomaly detection, and IP reputation analysis to identify anomalies, zero in on suspicious behavior, and pinpoint true threats across SaaS, IaaS, PaaS, and IDaaS cloud platforms. The inability to detect real threats from millions of alerts they receive daily as well as the lack of timely response capabilities are the greatest challenges facing security teams today. Pioneered by CloudLock's research intelligence arm, the CyberLab, machine learning capabilities are the foundation of the Cloud Security Fabric, helping security teams narrow their focus on user activities indicative of true threats. Using the company's Cloud Threat Funnel methodology, along with big data technologies and multiple advanced clustering algorithms, CloudLock's machine learning technology continuously evolves based on analyzing the industry's largest data set spanning over one billion files and events monitored daily. CloudLock's expanded machine learning capabilities include: Suspicious Login Activity Monitoring captures high frequency login anomalies, such as login failures and login challenges from unusual devices, geographies and time periods for a given user, indicate potential threats to corporate user accounts.

Furthermore, with her superior artificial intelligence, she can engage in barrier-free interaction with humans.

Today, the National Science Foundation (NSF) announced that it will invest more than 400 million over the next seven years to support fundamental wireless research and to develop platforms for advanced wireless research in support of the White House's Advanced Wireless Research Initiative. These investments will support the research community in experimenting with and testing novel technologies, applications and services capable of making wireless communication faster, smarter, more responsive and more robust. In the last decade, wireless usage across the U.S. has expanded dramatically, with nearly 350 million smartphones, connected tablets and wearable devices in use -- more than double the number from a decade ago -- carrying more than 100,000 times the traffic they supported in 2008. Experts anticipate as many as 200 billion connected devices globally by 2020. The need for ultra-high-speed, high-bandwidth and low-latency (rapid-response) wireless connectivity will only increase.

DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets has announced the addition of the "Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Big Data and IoT: The Market for Data Capture, Analytics, and Decision Making 2016 - 2021" report to their offering.
