SANTA CLARA, Calif., Jan. 05, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Ambarella, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMBA), an AI vision silicon company, today announced its new Artificial Intelligence Image Signal Processor (AISP). The company is showcasing this technology at its invitation-only event during CES 2022 in Las Vegas this week, running on its CV2 edge AI perception systems on chip (SoCs). Drawing on its 17 years of experience in ISP processing and best-in-class CVflow AI engine, Ambarella's new AI based ISP architecture uses neural networks to augment the image processing done by the hardware ISP integrated into its SoCs. This approach enables color imaging with low light at very low lux levels and minimal noise, a 10 to 100X improvement over state-of-the-art traditional ISPs, and new levels of high dynamic range (HDR) processing with more natural color reproduction and higher dynamic range. Initially demonstrated on the CV2 SoCs during CES this week, the new AISP will become available across Ambarella's entire CVflow SoC portfolio at resolutions up to 4K.

LAS VEGAS – Sony Group Corp. will set up a new unit in the spring for electric vehicles as it explores the possibility of launching the vehicles commercially, its CEO said Tuesday. Speaking at a media preview ahead of the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Sony Group CEO Kenichiro Yoshida said the new unit, Sony Mobility Inc., will aim to make the best use of artificial intelligence and robotics technology for EV development. At the same event in 2020, Sony unveiled a prototype EV, the Vision-S, which is equipped with technology for autonomous driving and aimed at enhancing the safety and comfort of mobility. The announcement came at a time when global competition has been intensifying over the development of EVs, with many automakers shifting to such vehicles for carbon emission reduction. At this year's preview, Yoshida also unveiled an SUV prototype of its Vision-S EV, which features seat speakers that create a three-dimensional sound field.

A 62-year-old Australian man paralyzed following his diagnosis with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has become the first individual to send out a message on social media using a brain-computer interface, RT reported. Brain-computer interfaces (BCI) are the next big thing in technology. While some people like Elon Musk want to use it to enhance human experiences as early as next year, others such as Synchron, whose interface helped Australian Philip O'Keefe send out his first tweet, want to develop it as a prosthesis for paralysis and treat other neurological diseases such as Parkinson's disease in the future, the company said in a press release. Synchron's BCI works through its brain implant called Stentrode that does not require any brain surgery to be installed. Instead, the company leverages the intentional techniques that are commonly used to treat stroke to implant the Stentrode via the jugular vein, the press release said.

Oracle's gargantuan $28.3 billion acquisition of health care data company Cerner, the largest deal in its 44-year history, is not just about electronic patient records. From algorithmic systems that predict the likelihood a patient will contract sepsis to tech that tracks hospital bed capacity, Cerner will bring an array of cloud-based data analytics and AI technologies to Oracle as it competes with Amazon Web Services, Google, IBM and others to serve the health care industry's data and AI needs. In fact, the deal is poised to shift some business away from AWS, which Cerner named as its preferred cloud partner in 2019. Oracle's acquisition of Cerner, a company that got its start in health care IT in 1979, is expected to close in 2022. The all-cash deal is also expected to improve Oracle's bottom line in its first year, the company said in a press release.

Vectorspace AI, a subsidiary of Vector Space Biosciences, Inc., now enables cryptocurrency exchanges with a thematic crypto baskets REST API available here. This API enables an exchange to offer tradable baskets of cryptos related to a theme, event or topic of any kind in real-time. The API is designed to spawn an ecosystem of new products for retail traders and investors providing them with abilities similar to hedge funds or asset management companies operating advanced data engineering pipelines. "It's like having your own dedicated NLP, AI, or Machine Learning pipeline," remarked Kasian Franks, Founder and CEO of Vector Space Biosciences, Inc. "This opens up a new world of thematic investing where baskets of cryptos or stocks can be generated based on a theme or global event in real-time using similar'language modeling' techniques used to predict the way proteins fold by DeepMind's AlphaFold2." VectorScreen is an additional filtering package powered by the core crypto baskets API, enabling advanced screening and filtering resulting in additional alpha.
