DeepMind is releasing a free expanded database with its predictions of the structure of nearly every protein known to science, the company, a subsidiary of Google parent Alphabet, announced today. DeepMind transformed science in 2020 with its AlphaFold AI software, which produces highly accurate predictions of the structures of proteins -- information that can help scientists understand how they work, which can help treat diseases and develop medications. It first started publicly releasing AlphaFold's predictions last summer through a database built in collaboration with the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL). That initial set included 98 percent of all human proteins. Now, the database is expanding to over 200 million structures, "covering almost every organism on Earth that has had its genome sequenced," DeepMind said in a statement.

Artificial Intelligence Technology Solutions, Inc. along with its wholly owned subsidiary Robotic Assistance Devices, Inc. (RAD) announced revisions to its plans and positioning for a robotic dog for the security services, logistics, utilities, and property management industries. "We're seeing a larger and more cost-conscious market emerge for a RAD dog," said Steve Reinharz, CEO of AITX and RAD. "These market conditions have prompted our team to revise plans and develop a new dog, one that we are naming'CASSIE'. We are now going to bring an entry-level priced'junkyard dog' to market, loaded with all the AI power that RAD has developed over the years." CASSIE (Crawling Autonomous Safety Security Inspection Equipment) is the latest officially announced addition to the RAD family of robotic security and safety solutions and marks the Company's second mobile robot.

Domestic giant Tata Steel on Wednesday said it has inked a pact with a Bengaluru-based startup for drone-based mining solutions for effective mine management. The primary goal of this collaboration is to jointly develop and offer sustainable and end-to-end integrated solutions that will focus on efficiency, safety, and productivity of open cast mining operations. "Tata Steel has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Aarav Unmanned Systems, a Bangaluru-based startup, providing end-to-end drone solutions... for effective mine management," the company said in a statement. Tata Steel will also work jointly with AUS to provide exclusive drone-based solutions, including mine analytics and geo-technical mapping, to Tata Steel group companies across mining locations in India, it said. On the partnership, D B Sundara Ramam, Vice President, Raw Materials, Tata Steel, said: "Drone survey enabled digitalisation and other technology will assist in gathering impactful and actionable insights. We see enormous potential in redefining core mining processes such as exploration and mine planning using drone data and adequate analytics."

Viz.ai announced today that it partnered with Hyperfine (Nasdaq:HYPR) to bring magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to the patient's bedside. San Francisco-based Viz.ai develops the Viz LVO, its flagship product designed to leverage advanced deep learning to communicate time-sensitive information about stroke patients straight to a specialist who can intervene and treat the patient. Hyperfine develops Swoop, which it said is the world's first MR imaging system capable of providing neuroimaging at the point of care, expanding patient access to MRI by bringing imaging to the bedside. Swoop offers a way for physicians to make quick and informed clinical decisions for patients, eliminating hours of wait and transport time, reducing the potential for adverse events associated with transporting critically ill patients. According to a news release, the partnership and subsequent implementation into neuro ICUs provide the potential to further decrease the time from admission to treatment by expanding clinician access to MRI and increasing access to time-critical diagnostics in multiple phases of care.

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.

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.
