BEIJING, May 25, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Gridsum Holding Inc. ("Gridsum" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:GSUM), a leading provider of cloud-based big-data analytics, machine learning and AI solutions in China, today announced that, as a part of its strategic evolution, it has consolidated all of its artificial intelligence ("AI") activities strategically, technically and organizationally into a new division called the Gridsum Prophet. Gridsum is a first mover in China in big data intelligence. Since 2005, the Company has utilized a distributed big-data computing architecture, developed and implemented sophisticated natural language processing ("NLP"), and leveraged machine learning directed toward large enterprise clients. During that time, from serving large enterprise customers, the Company has accumulated deep domain knowledge and expertise as well as a massive amount of data that fuels its machine learning algorithms. Since this early inception, the Company has continued to stay at the forefront through focus and investment, hiring and training extraordinary engineers and architects and, importantly, playing an active and leading role in the AI academic and developer communities.

DJI just wants you to fly your drones smart and safe -- or else. The company just instituted a software update that will require every DJI drone owner -- old and new -- to register and/or sign and activate their DJI account. If they don't, but still update to the latest DJI drone firmware, the drone's flight will be severely limited. If this activation process is not performed, the aircraft will not have access to the correct geospatial information and flight functions for that region, and its operations will be restricted if you update the upcoming firmware: Live camera streaming will be disabled, and flight will be limited to a 50-meter (164-foot) radius up to 30 meters (98 feet) high. However, what this process does not require is that DJI drone fliers register with their local aviation authorities.

Drones have been the focus of many security initiatives, like the "sky fence" in the Channel Islands that jams pilot signals to stop drones from bringing contraband into the prison. Remotely piloted aircraft can also be a force for good, like in Africa where drones are being used to stop poaching. In the US, you may not have to register your personal drones with the FAA anymore, but you might not want to fly them where they're not allowed. New draft legislation from the Trump administration would authorize the government to track, take control of, and destroy drones that the government thinks pose a threat to specially designated areas. In addition, courts would be unable to hear lawsuits arising from such activity.

Donald Trump's mobile phone only has one app installed on it, according to a new report. The President current uses an iPhone, despite calling for a boycott of the company after it refused to unlock the San Bernardino shooter's handset last year. His iPhone only has Twitter running on it, Axios reporter Mike Allen has claimed. The I.F.O. is fuelled by eight electric engines, which is able to push the flying object to an estimated top speed of about 120mph.

He rode in the Beast, the president's armored Cadillac limousine, which carried the American and Belgian flags. The poolers note that there was a heavy security presence on the streets: the city was largely empty, large trucks blocked many intersections and scores of armed police lined the route. The two leaders sat across from each other at the center of a long, rectangular table. The conference room had EU and US flags along the wall, and small flower arrangements at the center of the table. Trump then told the leaders about his foreign trip.

Researchers have developed an AI algorithm to accurately predict the gender of pre-paid mobile phone users, which could be useful in crises. Phone tracking technology is already used to locate those in need of aid in humanitarian crises; but the latest development could help further, for example by identifying vulnerable groups such as women with potentially young children. Mobile phones are one of the fastest growing technologies in the developing world with global penetration rates reaching 90 per cent. However, the fact that most phones in developing countries are pre-paid means that the data lacks key information about the person carrying the phone, including gender and other demographic data, which could be useful in a crisis. Now, a team of researchers from the Data Science Institute and Department of Computing at Imperial College London have developed a machine learning algorithm, which is a form of AI.

I don't need to know exactly why Netflix recommends certain movies to me -- if it looks like a fit, I'm happy to take their recommendation. On the other hand, if your AI tells me that I should undergo an invasive medical treatment because a deep neural network (DNN) recommends it -- well, I'm going to want to understand why before I take your recommendation. AI deployed in military tools, financial tools such as loan assessments, or self-driving cars may use DNNs without being able to establishing culpability -- if we can't understand how an algorithm works, who's responsible when something goes wrong? As long as breakthroughs in artificial intelligence (AI) are common, researchers and startups will probably focus most of their effort into making new, flexible AI models. Maybe we can't explain how these models work, but if x.ai's Amy or Andrew can miraculously figure out how and when to schedule meetings for me, do I even care?
