AI is projected to grow exponentially, which is exciting. Most of the revenue that has been made so far has been around training and research. This of course makes sense – AI is still very young, and people are constantly coming up with new ways of improving accuracy and making AI more efficient.

OrCam Technologies has announced that it will preview its assistive technology device for hearing impairment - the wearable OrCam Hear - at the 2020 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). The Consumer Technology Association (CTA) named OrCam Hear as a CES 2020 Innovation Awards 'Best of Innovation' for the exhibition taking place 7th-10th January.

Blaize has announced plans for the first public demonstrations of its Blaize Graph Streaming Processors (GSPs) architecture at CES 2020. A next-generation computing architecture designed for AI workloads, the Blaize offering tackles the economic and technical barriers to widespread AI adoption, addressing energy, cost and complexity challenges.

The uptake of artificial intelligence by industry will drastically change the UK job market in the coming years – with 133 million new jobs expected to be created globally. In the UK alone, up to a third of jobs will be automated or likely to change as a result of the emergence of AI – impacting 10.5 million workers. The findings come from a new report – Harnessing the Power of AI: The Demand for Future Skills - from g...

In a drive to increase on-site productivity and operational performance in the construction industry, BAM Nuttall has teamed up with tech-firm Iotic and researchers at Cranfield University to develop an AI-based, computer-vision system using new digital twin technology. The Learning Camera project employs a standard webcam, integrated with an IoT framework of smart sensors to collect real-time environmental data such as wind speed and weathe...

O’Reilly, the premier source for insight-driven learning on technology and business, has revealed the results of its 2019 ‘AI Adoption in the Enterprise’ survey. The report shows that security, privacy and ethics are low-priority issues for developers when modelling their machine learning (ML) solutions.

PicoLAS have announced two new laser diode drivers designed specifically for LiDAR (Light Distancing and Ranging) applications. They feature an ultra-compact driver electronics board of just 19x20mm onto which a laser diode can be directly mounted to minimise inductance. This driver board is supplied coupled to a connector board to enable simple interface.

  Roger Magoulas, VP of Radar at O’Reilly takes a look at the new developments in automation, hardware, tools, model development, and more that will shape (or accelerate) AI in 2020.
