RS21, a data science company developing artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning technologies for high-impact sectors, has been awarded a basic ordering agreement (BOA) for the Data Readiness for Artificial Intelligence Development (DRAID). The award was made on behalf of the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) Joint Artificial Intelligence Center (JAIC) and has a $241 million ceiling across task orders over five years. The U.S. Army Contracting Command awarded agreements to establish a decentralized vehicle that streamlines rapid procurement and agile delivery of AI data readiness capabilities for the DoD. Through the DRAID vehicle, RS21's capabilities will be available to support AI data readiness services to meet DoD requirements. RS21 will compete on specific task orders released for the JAIC DRAID to build reliable, ethical AI-enabled systems intended to transform the DoD and increase opportunities for AI activities across the Department.

NEW YORK, NY (March 25, 2022) – A study published today in Nature Communications unveils a new platform for discovering cellular signatures of disease that integrates robotic systems for studying patient cells with artificial intelligence methods for image analysis. Using their automated cell culture platform, scientists at the NYSCF Research Institute collaborated with Google Research to successfully identify new cellular hallmarks of Parkinson's disease by creating and profiling over a million images of skin cells from a cohort of 91 patients and healthy controls. "Traditional drug discovery isn't working very well, particularly for complex diseases like Parkinson's," noted NYSCF CEO Susan L. Solomon, JD. "The robotic technology NYSCF has built allows us to generate vast amounts of data from large populations of patients, and discover new signatures of disease as an entirely new basis for discovering drugs that actually work." "This is an ideal demonstration of the power of artificial intelligence for disease research," added Marc Berndl, Software Engineer at Google Research. "We have had a very productive collaboration with NYSCF, especially because their advanced robotic systems create reproducible data that can yield reliable insights."

PredictHQ, the demand intelligence company, announced a partnership with leading gig economy empowerment platform Stoovo. Stoovo is an AI-driven platform that helps independent workers strategically choose the right short-term work opportunities near them. The company will integrate PredictHQ's demand intelligence with their advanced AI platform to alert gig economy workers to where demand will surge in advance, allowing them to review and accept the most lucrative gigs in the closest geographic proximity. PredictHQ's demand intelligence is already used by leading rideshare companies including Uber and delivery networks including GoPuff. Its enriched data on events that drive demand for independent workers is already enabling better demand forecasting and planning across the on-demand industry.

NVIDIA AI is not something you can download. It is not one package. Yet almost everything our company builds touches and contributes to AI. As NVIDIA founder and CEO Jensen Huang said during his opening GTC keynote, developers use AI to achieve groundbreaking science, solve the world's most complex problems, and revolutionize industries. That work is packaged into software development kits, libraries, frameworks and tools.

The coronavirus pandemic completely disrupted the global travel industry. While things are slowly opening up, the current situation of world affairs makes travel returning to its former glory seem a rather far-fetched idea. But wouldn't it be nice to be able to'be there' without actually being there? Like take a tour at the famous Singapore museum or attend an important press conference across the continent or participate in your best friend's wedding all from the comfort of your home? Well, that's the idea behind telepresence, a technology that has been making waves in the market for a while.

Ukraine is employing face recognition technology to identify invading Russian troops killed on its soil, a complex and unprecedented avenue for software already seen as problematic, experts said Thursday. The embattled nation uses details resulting from the process to try to track down and notify the families of the dead, in an act Ukraine says is aimed at piercing Russia's war information filter. While this type of artificial intelligence could offer closure to families denied it by the fog of war or Kremlin secrecy, the potential for mistakes is considerable and consequential. "If you're a Russian parent being informed that your child has been killed when it's not true, that gets into a complex ethical dilemma," said Jim Hendler, director of the Institute for Data Exploration and Applications at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York state. US-based Clearview AI, often criticized by privacy advocates, says it gave Ukrainian officials free access to its service that matches images from the internet to pictures uploaded by users trying to identify someone. "The Ukrainian officials who have received access to Clearview AI have expressed their enthusiasm, and we await to hear more from them," Hoan Ton-That, the firm's co-founder and CEO, said in a statement.

InfoVision Inc, a leading global digital services company announced the launch of Digit7 as an independent entity. Digit7 was incubated by InfoVision with a vision of solving key business challenges through deployment of edge technologies and leveraging its deep industry expertise. "The launch of Digit7 marks an important step in its evolution," said Raman Kovelamudi, Co-founder, InfoVision. "Last 2 years have seen the solutions mature with product-market fits getting established. The idea that we had is now ready to build its own market, brand, client, and partner ecosystem – and we are thrilled by this prospect."

Lucid Motors will use Nvidia's auto-grade computer chips in its vehicles to enable advanced driver assistance and autonomous driving features, the companies announced Tuesday. The automaker's current and future lineup will be built on Nvidia's end-to-end Drive Hyperion platform. Hyperion is the latest iteration of Nvidia's Drive platform that allows automakers to customize their own driving features. This new hardware will form the basis for a new suite of driving features, including advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS), automated parking, and autonomous driving, the companies said. Lucid released its first EV, the Lucid Air, last year and is already working on a follow-up: a long-range electric SUV code-named Project Gravity.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a cutting-edge computer science technology. It shares similarities with human intelligence in terms of language comprehension, reasoning, learning, problem solving. In the development and revision of technology, market manufacturers face enormous intellectual challenges during the forecast period. Furthermore, the expansion of the automotive industry is expected to drive the Automotive Artificial Intelligence Market during the forecast period. The automotive industry has recognized the potential of artificial intelligence and is one of the major industries that employs AI to augment and mimic human action which is the major factor driving the growth of Automotive Artificial Intelligence Market during the forecast period.

The adopted text says that the public debate on the use of artificial intelligence (AI) should focus on this technology's enormous potential to complement humans. The text warns that the EU has fallen behind in the global race for tech leadership. As a result, there is a risk that standards will be developed elsewhere in the future, often by non-democratic actors, while the EU needs to act as a global standard-setter in AI. MEPs identified policy options that could unlock AI's potential in health, the environment and climate change, to help combat pandemics and global hunger, as well as enhancing people's quality of life through personalised medicine. AI, if combined with the necessary support infrastructure, education and training, can increase capital and labour productivity, innovation, sustainable growth and job creation, they add.
