Rogers Communications Inc said on Sunday it will invest C$10 billion ($7.74 billion) over the next three years in Artificial Intelligence (AI), and more testing and oversight, just weeks after the company reported network issues that caused widespread disruptions across the country. Chief Executive Officer Tony Staffieri said the Canadian telecom operator has made progress on a formal agreement between carriers to switch 911 calls to each other's networks automatically – even in the event of an outage on any carrier's network. "I believe this is the only responsible way forward and I am personally committed to making it possible for all Canadians," Staffieri said in a letter on Sunday. Staffieri said that the company is physically separating wireless and internet services to create an'always on' network – to help make sure the customers don't experience an outage with both cellular and internet services again. Earlier this month, the operator that has about 10 million wireless subscribers and 2.25 million retail internet subscribers, suffered a glitch that lasted nearly 19 hours, disrupting services from flights to banking and emergency 911 calls.

PRNewswire/ -- Artificial intelligence could contribute close to USD 16 trillion to the global economy in 2030.

In addition, new growth investors including iCON and TripActions' CEO and Co-founder Ariel Cohen joined the round. Theator, the creator of Surgical Intelligence, announced today that it has raised $24M in an extension of its Series A funding round. This extension follows an initial $15.5M Series A round announced in February 2021, bringing the round total to $39.5M.[FP1] Theator is pioneering Surgical Intelligence to eliminate the paradigm that where you live determines if you live. Theator's Surgical Intelligence Platform institutionalizes the routine capture of surgical video data, harnessing AI and computer vision to automatically analyze every operation.

XCPCNL Business Services Corporation a venture development business that leverages knowledge, skill, and experience in the consumer products industry, announced today that it has reached an agreement to conduct a reverse merger with Centiment Capital Holdings ("Centiment"). Centiment is the world's first neurotech-enabled, for-profit, anti-bias-driven machine learning company. Centiment is built on understanding neuro-data-driven problems in artificial intelligence and utilizing neuroscience-driven tools, technology, and apparatus to solve them. In an effort to maintain full transparency with each of the company's shareholders, both parties have mutually agreed to address their long-term future together. The reverse merger will involve a completely new management infrastructure, with Tim Matthews and Micah Brown serving as co-CEOs until a qualified tech-based CEO is appointed.

New York (CNN)Google (GOOG) has fired the engineer who claimed an unreleased AI system had become sentient, the company confirmed, saying he violated employment and data security policies. Blake Lemoine, a software engineer for Google, claimed that a conversation technology called LaMDA had reached a level of consciousness after exchanging thousands of messages with it. Google confirmed it had first put the engineer on leave in June. The company said it dismissed Lemoine's "wholly unfounded" claims only after reviewing them extensively. He had reportedly been at Alphabet for seven years.

AI Servo Monitor uses artificial intelligence to predict possible failures of the drive systems for FANUC servomotors and spindle motors. AI Servo Monitor, in conjunction with MT-LINKi through machine learning, analyzes the daily performance of machines equipped with FANUC CNCs. Daily data is displayed in intuitive graphs which allows users to easily monitor abnormalities on these machines. Artificial intelligence automatically creates a baseline model of the machine while running in a normal state. An "anomaly score" developed expresses a difference in the baseline model and the daily recorded values.

A case currently before the U.S. Court of Appeals must decide if artificial intelligences should have patent rights on processes they were used to design. Throwing a wrench into the works, OpenAI has announced that artists using its new DALL-E beta software can sell the work: "Starting today, users get full usage rights to commercialize the images they create with DALL·E, including the right to reprint, sell, and merchandise. This includes images they generated during the research preview." First, here's what DALL-E can do: OpenAI's press release for DALL-E 2 markets the advanced tech as a "powerful creative tool" that will speed up and inspire the creative process. But as some have already started to point out, the ability to commercialize DALL-E 2 will likely have a pretty major impact on creative industries -- and some of the resulting ramifications may not be good.

Baidu, a Chinese search engine and artificial intelligence firm, unveiled its latest electric autonomous driving vehicle on Thursday. The Apollo RT6 will be soon be part of Baidu's robotaxi fleet, as China pushes forward with its autonomous driving ambitions. It is a fully electric vehicle with a steering wheel that can be removed or installed when required, and will cost 250,000 yuan ($37,000) per unit. "This massive cost reduction will enable us to deploy tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across China," Robin Li, co-founder and CEO of Baidu, said at the firm's Baidu World conference Thursday. "We are moving towards a future where taking a robotaxi will be half the cost of taking a taxi today."
