Clearview AI seeking to put 100b photos in facial recognition database
Clearview AI has announced it aims to put almost every human's face in its facial recognition database, making'almost everyone in the world will be identifiable' A controversial AI company has announced it aims to put an image of nearly every human face in its facial recognition database, making it possible for'almost everyone in the world [to] be identifiable.' In its latest report in December, facial recognition firm Clearview AI told investors that the company is currently collecting 100 billion photos of human faces for the unprecedented campaign, which will be stored in its dedicated database. The collection of images - approximately 14 photos for each of the 7 billion people on the entire planet, scraped from social media and other sources - would extensively bolster the company's extensive surveillance system, already the most elaborate of its kind. The American company headquartered in Manhattan further told investors that its'index of faces' has grown from 3 billion images to more than 10 billion since the start of 2020. The firm's technology has already been used by myriad law enforcement and government agencies around the world, helping police make thousands of arrests by aiding in various criminal investigations.
Cloud Security Alliance Releases Guidance on Use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare
SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Cloud Security Alliance (CSA), the world's leading organization dedicated to defining standards, certifications, and best practices to help ensure a secure cloud computing environment, today released Artificial Intelligence (AI) in Healthcare. Drafted by the Health Information Management Working Group, the report provides an overview of the ways in which AI and machine learning (ML) can be used to bring about major transformations in healthcare while addressing the challenges their use presents, and offering guidance for how to best incorporate them into healthcare systems now and in the future. The document shares examples, use cases, and treatment methods for how AI, machine learning, and data mining can be effectively utilized throughout a healthcare system, including in research, diagnosis, and treatment. It also addresses ethical and legal challenges, bias in AI, and how it relates to telehealth, big data, and cloud computing in healthcare. "This is the time when healthcare leaders should be accelerating their use of AI, which when used with cloud computing has the potential for drastically improving patient outcomes. But, as with any new technology entering the healthcare arena, there are several challenges, among them a lack of data exchange, regulatory compliance requirements, and patient and provider adoption. This paper offers a summary of the areas in which healthcare can benefit, while providing healthcare delivery organizations guidance on how to best address the challenges their use brings," said Dr. James Angle, the paper's lead author and co-chair of the Health Information Management Working Group.
AI Eye Podcast 661: Stocks discussed: (OTCPINK: $GTCH) (NYSE: $WNS)
GBT Technologies Inc. (OTC PINK:GTCH) has announced that it is developing an AI empowered technology for automatic compaction of integrated circuit (IC) layout blocks. According to the press release, this technology aims "to read existing and new microchip's layout data with the goal of producing the densest layout block possible." "We believe an efficient layout compaction technology can be a great functional and economical solution for existing and new IP blocks. We are now designing an AI based technology to read an existing IC layout block and compacting its size to the densest possible. The process is targeted to be done automatically and within a short time. We are seeking to design the program with the goal of maintaining the process design rules, DFM guidelines and electrical connectivity correctness. It is the goal for the entire silicon area to undergo significant reduction and therefore enable improved silicon yield and ultimately cheaper ICs. The technology is planned to support older and advanced nanometer processes, Analog, Digital, RF and MIXED styles, making it a flexible tool for all types of IC design firms. As Integrated Circuits technology advances, more functionalities, lower power consumption, higher performance and lower cost are in high demand, especially within advanced nanometer projects."
App Annie is now data.ai - the 1st Unified Data AI company
App Annie has changed its name to data.ai, The name reflects the company's vision to drive comprehensive digital performance with products and partnerships. This is Unified Data AI. According to PwC, 60% of executives cite digital transformation as the top growth driver in 2022. The digital ecosystem, however, remains fragmented and relies too much on in-house IT, data science resources, agencies, and manual processes. This creates significant distraction from the core business.
2022 Insights on the Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare Market
Dublin, Feb. 16, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- The "Artificial Intelligence in Healthcare: Intellectual Property Landscape" report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering. This report features an extensive study of the historical and current collection of granted patents, patent applications and affiliated documents associated with the upcoming suite of intuitive software and automation enabling solutions, which are designed for use within the healthcare industry. The information in this report has been presented across two deliverables, namely an Excel sheet, featuring an interactive dashboard, and a PowerPoint presentation, summarizing the ongoing activity in this domain, and key insights drawn from the available data. The global healthcare sector has been overtly reluctant to embrace technology. This may partially be due to the failure of early digitization efforts, which were fraught with challenges and turned out to be more of a liability rather than a path forward.
The Elusive Hunt for a Robot That Can Pick a Ripe Strawberry
Ten years ago, a company called Agrobot demonstrated a strawberry-harvesting robot in a field in Davis, California. Today, Agrobot's strawberry picker remains a prototype. The long wait underscores the challenge for any berry-picking robot: Identify a berry that is ripe enough to pick, grasp it firmly but without damaging the fruit, and pull hard enough to separate it from the plant without harming the plant. Agrobot CEO Juan Bravo said his company's machine can't compete with people who can pick fruit by hand and pack it into clamshells. Still, growers are looking ahead to a day when it will be hard to find people willing to stoop in the fields all day, and expensive to pay them.
Why an AI Platform Backed by Stan Druckenmiller Is Getting Into Crypto
A Duquesne Capital veteran will use artificial intelligence to help investors anticipate cryptocurrency fluctuations through his fintech company TOGGLE AI. TOGGLE AI, co-founded by Jan Szilagyi and Giuseppe Sette, uses artificial intelligence to track price shifts in stocks, commodities, and fixed income. The company announced Tuesday that it would start analyzing over 400 cryptocurrencies in addition to major currencies like Bitcoin and Etherium, which were previously included in TOGGLE's analytics. Szilagyi, the firm's chief executive officer, told Institutional investor that the appeal of artificial intelligence resides in its ability to analyze, process, and present millions of data points at an inhuman speed. This means that platforms like TOGGLE can present users with predictions for over 35,000 securities, an impossible feat for a single human analyst. "AI is able to process a large amount of data and then process certain patterns that might be useful," he said.
A burger-flipping robot may be coming to a White Castle near you
You can count burger-flipping robots as one pandemic innovation that's here to stay. White Castle announced today that it will be bringing Flippy 2, a robot chef that can essentially perform the same tasks as a team of fry cooks, to 100 more locations this year. This amounts to roughly a third of White Castle restaurants nationwide, so it's likely Flippy may become a permanent addition to this burger chain's workforce. Last fall the burger chain first teamed up with Miso Robotics, the makers of Flippy, to launch a pilot program in its Chicagoland location. The company then unveiled Flippy 2, the latest iteration of the chef robot, back in November.
