BT to work with visual AI company on new retail products

Telecoms giant BT will begin work with a new visual artificial intelligence company to create products across the retail and the public sector. London-based Cortexica Vision Systems, which won at this year's BT Infinity Awards competition, will bring its AI video analysis technology and expertise to the company. "Cortexica's core technology, strong academic pedigree and track record of delivering applications for the real-world meant our decision was a simple one," said Colm O'Neill, MD Major Business and Public Sector for BT. "The BT Infinity Awards aim not only to showcase transformational tech for tomorrow's world, but to connect BT's customers with it and stimulate adoption in a range of sectors. "Past winners of the award have gone on to become trusted partners for many of our customers, and we hope Cortexica will do the same."
