Multiply, the AI-powered workspace that helps individuals and teams get rid of repetitive work while offering to get everything done with higher quality, 10x faster, is now out of stealth mode. We just raised $1.8M USD in a pre-seed round led by Tera VC and are super excited as this brings us one huge step closer to our goal of providing AI superpowers to all collaborative workflows. We have been in stealth mode for over a year and the new product is now available by invitation or waitlist at multiply.co. At Slush 2022 in Helsinki, visitors will get a first chance at trying out Multiply, hands-on. Multiply is a flexible AI-first digital workspace that makes it effortless to build structured workflows for any need.

Mobileye, an Intel Company, and WILLER, one of the largest transportation operators in Japan, Taiwan and the Southeast Asian region, announced a strategic collaboration to launch an autonomous robotaxi service in Japan and markets across Southeast Asia, including Taiwan. Beginning in Japan, the companies will collaborate on the testing and deployment of autonomous transportation solutions based on Mobileye's automated vehicle (AV) technology. "Our new collaboration with WILLER brings a meaningful addition to Mobileye's growing global network of transit and mobility ecosystem partners," said Prof. Amnon Shashua, Intel senior vice president and president and CEO of Mobileye. "We look forward to collaborating with WILLER as we work together for new mobility in the region by bringing self-driving mobility services to Japan, Taiwan and ASEAN markets." "Collaboration with Mobileye is highly valuable for WILLER and a big step moving forward to realize our vision of innovating transportation services: travel anytime and anywhere by anybody," said Shigetaka Murase, founder and CEO of WILLER.

While digital innovation and new technology is developing at a faster pace than ever before, every industry is having to adapt to new process and ways of working all the time. Some businesses are embracing this, and many have even thrived or been created because of it, but the accounting industry generally has found it a challenge. Accountancy is an age old profession, traditionally very process-driven; thus bringing technologies like robotics and automation into the mix has not only changed what clients expect from the service they pay for, but also the way accountants work and what their core responsibilities are. Automation is no longer breaking news, yet many accountancy firms still have a way to go before they are making use of all efficiencies available to them. According to the ICAEW, 25 percent of all businesses are still using paper-based records showing that, even if accounting firms are aware of technological developments, they have not yet taken action to make use of them.

A study released at the 2019 Open Data Science Conference (ODSC) in Boston demonstrated that managed teams outperformed crowdsourced workers on accuracy and overall cost on a series of the same data labeling tasks. Data science platform developer Hivemind hired a managed workforce and a leading crowdsourcing platform workforce to determine which team delivered higher quality, and at what relative cost. If you're building AI anywhere in your organization, you're in a "race to useable data," according to a 2019 report released by Cognilytica. In its report, the analyst firm specializing in AI, evaluated requirements for data preparation, engineering, and labeling solutions. They found 80 percent of AI project time is spent on aggregating, cleaning, labeling, and augmenting data to be used in machine learning models (ML).

Internet of Things, yes; but what does that mean? Internet of Things is a structural definition; it says there are "Things" such as sensors and devices (on machines or people) connected together in a Network. What does a Network of Sensors & Devices allow us to DO? What is the functional description of IoT? Being able to connect things together is "table stakes" at the intelligence augmentation game. What you are able to do with this network is the real story. All three objectives can be met because Network of Sensors & Devices exist and will grow.

"An economist is a person who sees something that works in practice and tries to figure out whether it will work in theory." "Every misspent dollar in our health care system is part of somebody's paycheck. There is not complementary and alternative physics, or chemistry, or biochemistry, or engineering. These disciplines compare their ideas against reality, and, if the ideas are found wanting, abandoned." The use of computer data is a multi-edged sword.
