As Businesses Clamor for Workplace A.I., Tech Companies Rush to Provide It
In response to these issues, tech companies have taken some steps. To prevent data leakage and to enhance security, some have engineered generative A.I. products so they do not keep a company's data and have instructed the A.I. models to answer only questions based on the source of data. When Salesforce last month introduced AI Cloud, a service with nine generative A.I.-powered products for businesses, the company included a "trust layer" to help obfuscate sensitive corporate information and promised that what users typed into these products would not be used to retrain the underlying A.I. model. Similarly, Oracle said that customer data would be kept in a secure environment while training its A.I. model and added that it would not be able to see the information. Salesforce offers AI Cloud starting at $360,000 annually, with the cost rising depending on the amount of usage. Microsoft charges for Azure OpenAI Service based on the version of OpenAI technology that a customer chooses, as well as the amount of usage.
Baidu beats revenue estimates helped by AI, cloud services
May 26 (Reuters) - China's search engine giant Baidu Inc surpassed quarterly revenue estimates on Thursday as a resurgence of COVID-19 in China and accompanying restrictions boosted demand for its cloud and artificial intelligence (AI) products. The news drove Baidu's U.S.-listed shares more than 5% up in pre-market trading even as the company cautioned that the second quarter would be more challenging. Revenue for the three months to March 31 rose 1% to 28.41 billion yuan ($4.22 billion), the slowest growth in six quarters, but topped an analysts' average estimate of 27.82 billion, IBES data from Refinitiv showed. It posted a net loss of 885 million yuan, or 2.87 yuan per American Depository Share (ADS), amid an economic downturn and pandemic resurgence in China. A year earlier it had posted a profit of 25.65 billion yuan, or 73.76 yuan per ADS.

AI & Cloud Computing - NCNONLINE
The combination of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing, or the AI cloud, is an emerging concept in enterprise software architecture. It addresses the current demands and challenges of storing and processing high-volume data, build and run algorithms in the cloud, integrate advanced machine learning services. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and cloud computing are at the center of most enterprise solutions today. Individually, the two technologies have evolved to support businesses in handling large data volumes, structuring their IT infrastructure, and accelerating processes and operations. The AI cloud is the natural progression of the technologies, wherein AI is deployed within the cloud environment to enhance decision intelligence while reducing costs.
DataRobot combines governance and freedom in its AI Cloud - SiliconANGLE
Black box "magic" isn't acceptable now that companies are moving from the "fun" phase of playing with AI's capabilities to implementing the technology in essential business workflows. "Every company in the world is looking for the opportunity to take advantage of AI to improve their business processes, whether it's to improve their revenue, lower their cost profile, or lower their risk," said Nenshad Bardoliwalla (pictured), chief product officer at DataRobot Inc. They discussed DataRobot's AI Cloud and self-service AI. (* Disclosure below.) The danger of AI is that algorithms aren't infallible. Trust is provided through transparency and explainability, which together allow data scientists to see into the workings of the AI's "mind" to understand how it arrived at insights.
Artificial Intelligence (AI): 4 characteristics of successful teams
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly seen as a must-have technology that enables businesses to become agile and innovate at scale. IDC predicts global spending on artificial intelligence (AI) systems will increase from US $50 billion in 2020 to US $110 billion in 2024. But Gartner research estimates that 50 percent of AI implementations are struggling to get past the proof-of-concept stage and be implemented at scale. The reasons vary from overhyped expectations and lack of vision to inadequate data infrastructure and lack of skilled resources. Another important factor is the team that's working on the AI programs.
Towards Industrial Private AI: A two-tier framework for data and model security

With the advances in 5G and IoT devices, the industries are vastly adopting artificial intelligence (AI) techniques for improving classification and prediction-based services. However, the use of AI also raises concerns regarding data privacy and security that can be misused or leaked. Private AI was recently coined to address the data security issue by combining AI with encryption techniques but existing studies have shown that model inversion attacks can be used to reverse engineer the images from model parameters. In this regard, we propose a federated learning and encryption-based private (FLEP) AI framework that provides two-tier security for data and model parameters in an IIoT environment. We proposed a three-layer encryption method for data security and provided a hypothetical method to secure the model parameters. Experimental results show that the proposed method achieves better encryption quality at the expense of slightly increased execution time. We also highlighted several open issues and challenges regarding the FLEP AI framework's realization.

Top AI Companies in the World Creating Massive Disruption
Artificial intelligence is invading each industry, permitting vehicles to drive without drivers, helping doctors with clinical diagnoses, and imitating the manner in which humans talk. Yet, for every one of the legitimate and exciting ways, it's changing the tasks computers can play out, there's a lot of hype, as well. As artificial intelligence has become a strong power in business, today's top AI companies in the world are leaders of this growing technology. AI tech companies in the world are drawing in huge investment from investor firms and huge tech firms like Microsoft and Google. Academic AI research is developing, as are AI job opportunities across a huge number of industries.

Sony's revamped Aibo heads to the US for $2,899
We got a brief glimpse at Sony's sixth-generation Aibo back at CES -- but we couldn't touch it, no matter how adorable it looked, and we didn't know when it would be hitting America. We just knew it wouldn't be cheap, since it landed in Japan last fall for $1,800. At a small press event in New York City today, Sony revealed it's releasing a "first litter" of Aibo for $2,899 in September, with delivery expected before the holidays. That steep price gets you the robot dog, a bunch of accessories and a three-year subscription to Sony's AI Cloud, which will house Aibo's memories and help it learn over time. But it's one that can learn to recognize your family (including your real life pets) and gain a personality over time.
