In early April, Anap (the French national agency for supporting the performance of healthcare and medico-social institutions) announced the launch of a national platform to share artificial intelligence solutions deployed in healthcare institutions. It is possible to consult, for each of the referenced solutions, its history, its level of maturity, the number of users who benefit from it and the key success factors identified. The agency invites healthcare institutions to share their AI projects. Anap, a public agency of expertise attached to the Ministry of Health, has the mission to respond to the needs of health and medico-social institutions through actions (methods, tools, events, interventions) developed with and for professionals. Healthcare professionals use AI solutions (to help them diagnose and choose treatments, predict patient flows or automate tasks) to improve care, patient experience and the internal organization of facilities.

DJI, the world's largest drone manufacturer, has announced it is temporarily halting operations in Russia and Ukraine, in a rare example of a Chinese firm suspending business in response to the war in Ukraine. The Shenzhen-headquartered company said on Wednesday it would suspend its business in the two countries while "internally reassessing compliance requirements in various jurisdictions". DJI, which was founded in Hong Kong in 2006, added it was "engaging with customers, partners and other stakeholders regarding the temporary suspension," according to a company statement. Adam Lisberg, DJI's director of corporate communications for North America, told Al Jazeera the company had taken the action "not to make a statement about any country, but to make a statement about our principles". "DJI abhors any use of our drones to cause harm, and we are temporarily suspending sales in these countries in order to help ensure no one uses our drones in combat," Lisberg said.

Over the past decade, Virginia Natural Gas (VNG) has continuously worked to modernize its pipeline infrastructure and has coordinated efforts with the Virginia State Corporation Commission, local governments, excavators and Virginia 811 (VA811) to promote safe digging and build awareness of the damage prevention laws that keep customers and communities safe. The investments VNG has made in infrastructure upgrades have created some of the safest, most modern pipelines that customers depend on for the safe and reliable delivery of natural gas. By modernizing more than 400 miles of aging, older pipes through the Steps to Advance Virginia's Energy (SAVE) program, VNG is enhancing the safety and reliability of systems to meet current and future energy needs for generations to come. VNG is now incorporating innovative technology to help predict and prevent damages to its critical infrastructure. The technology uses artificial intelligence to predict which third-party dig requests are most at risk for potential excavation damage.

Early AI began with a variety of tasks such as checkers and chess, speech recognition, language translation, and solving word problems. Over the years it has progressed to give us automated vacuum cleaners, robot dogs, Siri and Alexa, image recognizers, Chess and Go world masters, self-driving cars, and self-guided drones. These technologies have powerful impacts on Naval operations and warfighting as well. AI has the potential to revolutionize military technology, capability and operations. The possibilities have raised many speculations about what AI is capable of and whether it can be trusted.

WIRE)--Pinpoint Predictive is pleased to announce a new partnership with Ohio Mutual Insurance Group, through which the two organizations will use applied data and analytics to more accurately predict and evaluate loss risk for the mutual insurer. Industry experts estimate that the average U.S. family pays up to $700 in extra insurance premiums each year to account for the $80 billion in losses experienced due to fraud and premium leakage (underpriced policies due to both intentional and inadvertent mischaracterization of a customer's insured risks). Pinpoint Predictive offers a unique, turnkey solution that allows carriers to leverage the predictive power of behavioral economics, big data, and deep learning for risk selection and determination of customer journey, while maintaining the highest standards in privacy safeguards. These cutting-edge capabilities enable insurers to more precisely identify loss and other unreported/underreported risk, and to create more satisfactory customer experiences for the majority of customers. "This new tool offered by Pinpoint Predictive is a promising approach," said Ohio Mutual Chief Analytics Officer Susan Kent, "and we believe it's an innovative way for us to be even more precise in our identification and mediation of circumstances where loss is more likely to occur. Through the thoughtful application of this technology, we hope to ultimately create even more equitable experiences and products for our members."

The initial effort will include implementing NVISO's AI solutions for Social Robots and In-cabin Monitoring Systems on BrainChip's Akida processors. Developers of automotive and consumer technologies are striving for devices that better respond to human behavior--which requires tools and applications to interpret human behavior captured from cameras and sensors on devices. However, these environments can be constrained by limited compute performance, power consumption, and cloud connectivity lapses. Since information is not sent off-device, user privacy and security are also protected. NVISO's technology is uniquely able to analyze signals of human behavior such as facial expressions, emotions, identity, head poses, gaze, gestures, activities, and objects with which users interact.
