Xiaomi's $7.2-billion AI investment plan could bolster its declining smartphone segment
Chinese technology company Xiaomi announced plans to invest more than 50 billion yuan ($7.2 billion) over a five-year period in an "All in AIoT" strategy, according to Reuters. This ups the original $1.5-billion, five-year investment plan announced in January 2019, which focused on expanding in-house and third-party products compatible with the Xiaomi digital assistant, Xiao AI. Xiaomi also hoped to develop the capabilities of its AI such that it could better serve as the intelligent focal point of the growing ecosystem of compatible devices. By investing in this space, Xiaomi hopes to supplement and shift away from its declining core business of smartphones. Since introducing a bevy of Xiao AI-enabled products -- including TVs, refrigerators, washing machines, wearables, and even rice cookers -- Xiaomi managed to offset the decline in its core smartphone segment with a 44% year-over-year (YoY) growth in the IoT and lifestyle products segment, according to the earnings report for the quarter ending September 30, 2019.

Gallego, Víctor, Angulo, Pablo, Suárez-García, Pablo, Gómez-Ullate, David
In this work we propose a data-driven modelization approach for the management of advertising investments of a firm. First, we propose an application of dynamic linear models to the prediction of an economic variable, such as global sales, which can use information from the environment and the investment levels of the company in different channels. After we build a robust and precise model, we propose a metric of risk, which can help the firm to manage their advertisement plans, thus leading to a robust, risk-aware optimization of their revenue. The advertising industry represents an estimate of US$ 529.43 billion [4] and this quantity is likely to increase in the following years. In parallel, there has been a recent interest in the application of data-driven models in the context of forecasting and decision making in the marketing industry.
iZettle raises $36M from Europe, earmarked for AI and other new tech
The company announced it has received €30 million ($36 million) funding from the European Investment Bank, the lending arm of the European Union. "We're proud to receive this stamp of approval from the EIB. It's the type of offer you can't refuse and it will allow us to further accelerate our growth and continue to level the playing field for small businesses, giving them access to tools to take on the big corporations," said Jacob de Geer, CEO and co-founder of iZettle, in a statement. The funding follows the startup's most recent round, which was earlier this year, when it raised $63 million at the same $500 million valuation it had in its last equity round. It appears the valuation is staying the same with this latest round: the money, as with earlier this year, is coming in the form of debt funding and will be distributed over the next three years, the company said.
