In fact, unit shipments of artificial intelligence (AI) systems used in infotainment and ADAS systems are expected to rise from just 7 million in 2015 to 122 million by 2025, according to IHS Inc. (NYSE: IHS), the leading global source of critical information and insight. The attach rate of AI-based systems in new vehicles was 8 percent in 2015, and the vast majority were focused on speech recognition. However, that number is forecast to rise to 109 percent in 2025, as there will be multiple AI systems of various types installed in many cars. "An artificial-intelligence system continuously learns from experience and by its ability to discern and recognize its surroundings," said Luca De Ambroggi, principal analyst-automotive semiconductors, IHS Technology. "It learns, as human beings do, from real sounds, images, and other sensory inputs. The system recognizes the car's environment and evaluates the contextual implications for the moving car." Specifically in ADAS, deep learning -- which mimics human neural networks -- presents several advantages over traditional algorithms; it is also a key milestone on the road to fully autonomous vehicles.

The company said the new Edgeline EL1000 (pictured above) and Edgeline EL4000 converged systems target enterprise clients deploying IoT devices in remote environments, also known as the "edge of the network." While the recent proliferation of IoT devices has made it increasingly possible for companies to gather massive amounts of data from remote locations in the field, retrieving that information and performing intensive analytics on it has been challenging. Some companies, such as those in the oil and gas, manufacturing, and telecommunications industries face particular challenges when it comes to harnessing big data in remote environments, HPE said. "Until now, the remote data would have to be transported to a data center or cloud for analysis, which can be a slow, risky and inefficient process," the company said in a statement. The two new systems are aimed at enabling organizations to harness their data onsite by delivering real-time analytics and machine learning at the point of data collection.

"I think you will see us open up more in the future," Apple CEO Tim Cook said the AllThingsD D11 conference in 2013. Now, roughly three years later, we have the clearest picture yet of what a more open Apple looks like. During its Worldwide Developers Conference on June 13, Apple announced a slew of changes to some of its apps and services that allow them to work with third parties. Siri, iMessage, Apple Maps, and the Phone app are among the Apple services that developers will be able to tap into. This means iPhone owners will be able to do things like call an Uber through Siri, order food without leaving the Messages app, and make reservations in Apple Maps.

Aptly enough, iOS 10 has 10 major features, including sweeping new upgrades to Messages, a much more intelligent Siri, and a Memories feature in Photos that recognizes objects, people, and even locations. Introduced on Monday during WWDC, iOS 10 also makes the iPhone sublimely integrated with third-party apps. Developers can now design apps to directly enhance Messages, Siri, Maps, and Notifications. Apple's most noticeable update comes to Messages, which the company said is the most frequently used app on iOS. In addition to opening up the iMessage platform to third-party developers, Messages in iOS 10 has gone through a major "emojification."

Within a decade marketers will have to worry more about the algorithm than emotion Chris Stephenson, chief strategist for media agency PHD, has predicted. The bold pronouncement was made during the international keynote last week at the Mumbrella360 conference with Stephenson warning that humans are not far away from a future where consumers will have virtual personal assistants (VPAs) who will make purchasing decisions for them. "The AI (artificial intelligence) train is coming," Stephenson said. "As marketers, as media people this isn't something that will just vaguely enter our world. Artificial intelligence is going to come hurtling through our yard, it is going to change our industry, it is going to change our what we do and how we do it. "It is going to have massive significant impacts on our industry." Stephenson cited the rapid developments in the AI space in recent years and argued that these developments would soon flow to consumers. "Where we are is one minute to midnight on AI eve," he said. "The last few decades have see various technologies and developments that have got us to this moment where we are on the edge of an AI future.

The reality is AI has been around for decades, however, compute power and the seismic drop in the cost of processing data means that early market movers will share considerable competitive advantage over their competitors. A host of lauded technology CEOs claim that AI will have a greater business impact than social, cloud and mobile put together, this is some statement when you consider these are all multi-billion dollar industries within their own right. The US technology market for AI is exploding in front of our eyes, yet other regions such as UK&I, EMEA, APAC and Indian markets are somewhat nascent, sceptical and still testing the water. Here at Chatterbox Labs we are seeing global corporations headquartered in the US looking for multi-lingual AI that can be deployed in lightning quick timeframes with speed, scale and accuracy outcomes. The word "OUTCOME" within the AI field is somewhat distorted, therefore, we as a company derive this term to fall within 3 categories: The scepticism surrounding AI business benefit is fully justified within the market today in that many large organisations claim to have AI market ready today by spending tens of millions on advertising and TV campaigns.

Viptela, the Software-Defined WAN (SD-WAN) company, today announced that it was named a top 50 tech startup to watch in the fourth annual Startup50 competition. Each year, hundreds of tech startups in five categories are evaluated by a panel of experts and voted on by readers in order to determine the top 50 winners. Previous Big 50 startups have since achieved billion dollar valuations (Cloudera), been acquired by major incumbents (Eucalyptus) and completed successful IPOs (Square). "I won't be at all surprised if several of the startups in the Big 50-2016 list are household names in the coming years," said Jeff Vance, founder and Editor-in-Chief of Startup50. "This is a really strong lineup, with startups tackling everything from artificial intelligence to water treatment to cyber-security and Big Data."

The Electronic Entertainment Expo, also known as E3, will be prefaced by Bethesda Softworks and Electronic Arts press conferences Sunday, but a lot of news has already leaked ahead of the big event. Several big games have been revealed, and rumblings about new Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony video game consoles have been swelling for months. Based on the rumors, E3 2016 at the Los Angeles Convention Center June 14-16 is shaping up to be a fascinating event that could have a great effect on the video game industry. Nothing gets gamers' blood flowing like a good console unveiling. E3 is the place where consoles are launched, which is why 2016 is an odd year in the event's history.

Apple Inc announced a series of long-awaited enhancements to its App Store on Wednesday, but the new features may not ease concerns of developers and analysts who say that the App Store model - and the very idea of the single-purpose app - has seen its best days. The revamped App Store will let developers advertise their wares in search results and give developers a bigger cut of revenues on subscription apps, while Apple said it has already dramatically sped up its app-approval process. The goal is to sustain the virtuous cycle at the heart of the hugely lucrative iPhone business. Software developers make apps for the iPhone because its customers are willing to pay, and those customers, in turn, pay a premium for the device because it has the best apps. The store is now more strategically important than ever for Apple as sales of the iPhone begin to level off and the company looks to software and services to fill the gap.
