Ford Motor Company Moves Autonomous Technology Development Under New Unit

#artificialintelligence

Ford CEO Jim Farley has made quite a few changes to the way the automaker does things since his arrival. Now, Ford is doing something similar with its autonomous technology divisions. Autonomous Tech Gets A New Home According to a report by Bloomberg, Ford is looking to accelerate the development of its autonomous technology by forming a new division called Ford Next. Apparently, Farley formed Ford Next last year and put Franck Louis-Victor, a specialist in new businesses from Renault SA, at the head. The division includes the automaker's stake in Argo Ai, an autonomous startup, as well as Ford's self-driving unit that's called Ford Autonomous Vehicles LLC.


FinCEN on AML/CFT Regime of UK and the Role AI-powered AML Solutions Play in It

#artificialintelligence

In the ABA/ABA FinCEN (Financial Crime Enforcement Network) conference 2019, the acting director Ken Blanco discussed the introduction of new divisions for transforming the current AML/CFT regimes in the UK. There were entire new divisions of enforcement and compliance along with global investigations to restrict financial crimes. Until now the current Anti-Money Laundering (AML) landscape was struggling to gain some form of momentum. However, with the implementation of the recent Anti-Money Laundering Act 2020 and AML solutions with integration of AI and ML, hopefully, 2022 will be remembered as a year proven to be a turning point for financial institutes. It is surprising to note that in the year 2020, banks from all over the world paid a total of $15.13 billion dollars and the US held the first rank in those AML fines, a sum of $11.11 billion was paid.


Lincoln Laboratory establishes Biotechnology and Human Systems Division

#artificialintelligence

MIT Lincoln Laboratory has established a new research and development division, the Biotechnology and Human Systems Division. The division will address emerging threats to both national security and humanity. Research and development will encompass advanced technologies and systems for improving chemical and biological defense, human health and performance, and global resilience to climate change, conflict, and disasters. "We strongly believe that research and development in biology, biomedical systems, biological defense, and human systems is a critically important part of national and global security. The new division will focus on improving human conditions on many fronts," says Eric Evans, Lincoln Laboratory director.


Sony cooks up special AI unit that aims to change the way people make food and eat

Daily Mail - Science & tech

Today, Sony announced a new division at the company to focus exclusively on artificial intelligence that will have offices in Japan, the United States, and Europe. Called Sony AI, the new division will initially begin with three'flagship projects' in gaming, imaging and sensing, and gastronomy. The company hasn't specified what exactly these projects will be but a concept video from Sony shows the company's vision for how AI and robotics will change how people eat in the future. The video shows a long kitchen counter top equipped with multiple robotic arms and camera sensors, which observe a human chopping a vegetable. A human enters the kitchen and begins chopping a vegetable.


Qualcomm Forms Artificial Intelligence Research Unit

#artificialintelligence

Qualcomm announced a new division that would unify all its fundamental artificial intelligence research. Qualcomm A.I. Research gives form to what was largely an amorphous effort inside the company, which is focused on moving inference out of the cloud and into devices installed with its mobile chips, such as smartphones, warehouse robots, cars and security cameras. The reorganization reflects Qualcomm's doubling down on embedded artificial intelligence, which it argues can improve privacy for applications like voice-controlled speakers and save energy wasted sending information to the cloud. Taking artificial intelligence – a blanket term that includes machine learning – out of the cloud would also lower latency, which is important in mission-critical devices that require fast reaction times, like driverless cars. Accordingly, the company is focused on model compression and efficient hardware to squeeze as much processing as possible from embedded devices constrained by power and heat. Qualcomm A.I. Research is also targeting more data efficient models in machine learning, as well as system architecture problems – like sensor fusion and multimodal learning – and device personalization.


Here are all the huge changes Google is making this year

#artificialintelligence

Google gave us a look at the future of its products and services today at its annual I/O developer conference in Mountain View, California. There were a number of key announcements that will help shape the future of Android and other major platforms, including a new application called Google Lens, changes to Google Home, and some Google Photos additions. The mobile giant also presented a couple of features we should expect to see in the upcoming Android O update, but stopped short of showing any new hardware. Here are the biggest announcements from the opening day keynote. Android O still doesn't have a name, but we at least know a few of the features it will launch with. The next version of Android will get Picture-to-Picture, an automatic multi-window feature that will let you continue to watch videos or read an article while you browse through the OS.


The AI forecast: New division of labor -- Making technology work for us - Nikkei Asian Review

Among the various products offered by Mitsubishi UFJ Kokusai Asset Management is AI Japan Equity Open, an investment trust launched at the beginning of February. As of March 31 it had attracted total investor assets of 10.7 billion yen ($98 million). Asked why it is selling so well, director Hideo Shirota said, "Many investors want their assets handled based on objective judgment rather than the professional sense of a fund manager." The company receives advice about the selection and timing of equity trades from Mitsubishi UFJ Trust Banking, where chief fund manager Noriyuki Okamoto, a man of over 20 years experience, and moreover, an artificial intelligence system are the brains behind the product. Arriving at the company's Tokyo head office at 8 every morning, he turns on his computer to read an AI-generated report on which equity prices will likely rise and the best timing to sell index futures.


How Google is going from mobile-first to AI-first while competition heats up

#artificialintelligence

Google on Tuesday officially announced a major change in its strategy to go after the smartphone market, as the search giant unveiled a'family of products' -- Pixel, Daydream, Home, and WiFi -- to venture into a new category of products which have both'hardware and software made by Google'. Taking the stage at the event, Sundar Pichai, CEO of Google, noted that when Google was founded in 1998, there were about 300 million people using the internet, the vast majority of whom were sitting at desktop computers and looking for answers that came in the form of blue links. But today, the internet community is closer to three billion people, and users are searching for all kinds of help across different contexts and devices, from cars and your classrooms to homes and the phones in people's pockets. When I look at where computing is heading, I see how machine learning and artificial intelligence are unlocking capabilities that were unthinkable only a few years ago. This means that the power of the software -- the'smarts' -- really matter for hardware more than ever before.
