Google may have to break off parts of its business, such as Chrome and Android, and share users' search data with its competitors, based on the proposed remedies the US Justice Department has submitted in a court filing. The DOJ said it's "considering behavioral and structural remedies that would prevent Google from using products such as Chrome, Play, and Android to advantage Google search and Google search-related products and features" after Judge Amit Mehta ruled in August that it illegally abused its monopoly over the search industry. That ruling was the result of a 2020 antitrust lawsuit filed by the DOJ and several states, accusing Google of "unlawfully maintaining monopolies" over search and search-related products. The department is also considering limiting or prohibiting Google from signing contracts with other companies to make its search engine the default option for their browsers and phones. In his ruling, Judge Mehta said that paying Mozilla, Apple, Samsung and other device makers to make Google as their default search engine was an illegal act meant to maintain its dominant position in the market. A Google executive previously revealed during a trial for the lawsuit that the the company paid Apple 26 billion.

OPTX, a leading casino intelligence agency, is excited to announce its partnership with Isleta Resort & Casino of Albuquerque, New Mexico.

Melissa Mulholland had no idea the baby she was carrying might not survive. If she hadn't gone to a high-risk clinic for an ultrasound, and if that ultrasound hadn't been reviewed by a doctor with expertise in a certain area of fetal care, the outcome could have been much different. Her ultrasound showed a fetal abnormality called posterior urethral valves (PUV), a congenital problem that is sometimes missed in reviews of ultrasounds unless doctors are trained to look for it, which they generally are not. PUV, which affects 1 in 8,000 males, means that extra tissue obstructs the baby's bladder, causing a reverse flow of urine that can damage other organs, and can be fatal. At 16 weeks, Mulholland, director of business strategy for One Commercial Partner (OCP), which helps enable Microsoft partners' success around the world, underwent a risky procedure.

Melissa Mulholland was 16 weeks pregnant with her second child when her doctor noticed something unusual in an ultrasound scan. It was a rare fetal condition called posterior urethral valves, PUV, and it meant her son wouldn't survive the womb without medical intervention. She was fortunate to have a doctor skilled in detecting the condition and intervening to address it, and the good news is that her son, Conor, is now 5 years old. But the experience left Mulholland thinking about the families who aren't so lucky to have such expert health care. She wondered if technology could be a solution. She's not an engineer, and doesn't have a technical background, but she works at Microsoft, so she's familiar with the latest technologies in her role working with the company's cloud customers and partners. She asked a question that not a lot of people would ask: could artificial intelligence help?

Artificial intelligence (AI) isn't magic, it's just really complicated math, said Greg Mulholland, CEO and founder of Citrine Informatics (Redwood City, CA), at a press roundtable hosted by Lanxess (Cologne, Germany) at K 2019. But Mulholland's hosts seemed quite bedazzled by his AI-enabled platform, nonetheless. Lanxess is the first company to adopt Citrine's technology at scale, and Dr. Markus Eckert, Senior Vice President, Head of Business Unit Urethane Systems at Lanxess was eager to explain what it means for customers. Citrine is a Silicon Valley startup that couldn't be more niche: It has developed a platform that leverages data and AI specifically to accelerate the development of materials and chemicals. Citrine has been recognized for technology innovation by the World Economic Forum as a Tech Pioneer, and collaborates with world-class academic institutions such as Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh and the University of California, Berkeley.

Health care providers enter into dozens of contracts with outside companies, like medical record disposal or storage entities, that have access to patients' medical information. Dan Mulholland, senior partner at the health law firm Horty Springer, said these contracts come and go so frequently that they're not always reviewed by a lawyer because of cost and time constraints. But even tiny errors in the documents can create huge liabilities if patient information is mishandled. "There have been some fines for privacy breaches, imposed under HIPAA, that have been in the millions of dollars," said Mulholland. Mulholland said AI software created by local start-up LegalSifter could provide a sort of advanced spell check to clients.

The machine, a 3-D metal printer, lays the powder down a single dusting at time, while a laser overhead welds the layers together. Over several hours, the machine prints a small block the size of brownie. HRL's parent companies, Boeing and General Motors, want to 3-D print intricate metal parts in mass for their sleek new generation of cars and planes. Airbus has already installed the first-ever 3-D printed metal part on a commercial airplane, a bracket that attaches to its wings. But the tech is limited by the quality of today's metal powders, says Martin.

A Silicon Valley company has made the move to Pittsburgh, bringing with it a unique type of artificial intelligence. Citrine Informatics, a chemicals and materials artificial intelligence (AI) platform, recently opened its first office outside of Silicon Valley in Bakery Square. Citrine combines materials-aware AI with the world's largest materials database to help companies deliver high-performance products to market faster. It's a feat Citrine CEO Greg Mulholland says they're under a lot of pressure to do. He illustrates his point by citing how Boeing strives to become fuel efficient by creating lighter, stronger materials with which to build their jets.
