A large share of countries around the world are now using Chinese AI surveillance technology, including facial recognition technology, in full or in part. This is according to a report by Carnegie Endowment for International Peace. Many countries are combining Chinese tech with U.S.-made surveillance tech, among them the U.S. and China themselves, but also India, Australia, Brazil and several European countries. Many countries in Latin America, South-East Asia, Africa and the Middle East are relying on Chinese technology alone after participating in the Belt and Road initiative, as are Japan, Italy and the Netherlands.

“What may set IBM apart is the sheer number of IoT playing fields it engages in addition to AI and analytics, including cloud, development tool set, services, device management, storage and security. Add to that its longstanding reach into enterprise and industrial IT.
"Where public clouds [such as Microsoft IoT Hub and AWS] have APIs, Watson has whole solutions," said Bret Greenstein, IBM's global vice president of Watson IoT offerings, which is not to say that IBM insists on provisioning end-to-end IoT deployments; certainly, as part of the IBM Cloud, the Watson IoT platform is all about cross-vendor integration.” Everyone plays with everyone else. “The pattern in IoT is the same as the pattern in cloud; we're containerizing everything.”

As an industry we have made a habit of making a complex business even more complicated by applying solutions of the past instead of embracing the opportunities digitization can provide us all today.Current problems include: - Inconsistent data and inequitable sharing of information across supply chains
- Continued “blind spots” across organizations and geographic boundaries
- Complex, cumbersome and often expensive peer-to-peer messaging
- Too many manual, time-consuming processes that increase costs and delay cargoes
- Inefficient clearance processes which can open the door to fraud

Artificial intelligence is moving from science fiction to practical reality fast, and it's in banks' best interest to gear up now for the changes ahead. Here are some strategies to consider. Already some AI pioneers have emerged in the financial industry just over the past year: Bank of New York Mellon's use of robotic process automation in trade settlement and other back-office operations; Nasdaq's search for signs of market tampering with an assist from AI; UBS' initiative to answer basic customer-service questions through Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa; and USAA's development of its own virtual assistant. Australia's ANZ Group has been using IBM's Watson in its wealth management division for three years. Watson can read and understand unstructured data found in contracts and other documents, comb through millions of data points in seconds, and learn how to draw conclusions from the data. It can assess a new customer's financial situation more quickly and comprehensively than a human being, and it never forgets anything.

IBM unveiled its "Blockchain as a Service" today, which is based on the open source Hyperledger Fabric, version 1.0 from The Linux Foundation. IBM. This could allow any private company or government agency to set up a trusted network, which would allow the members to share information freely, knowing that only the members could see it, and the information couldn’t be altered once it’s been entered. Jerry Cuomo, VP of blockchain technology at IBM, says his company is offering a set of cloud services to help customers create, deploy and manage blockchain networks. This fits in with IBM’s broader strategy to offer a wide range of cloud services to its customers. .

IBM has been creating and hiring for "new collar" jobs. They are entirely new roles in areas such as cybersecurity, data science, artificial intelligence and cognitive business that do not necessarily require traditional university degrees, but rather the right skills, often obtained through vocational or on-the-job training. IBM created P-TECH in 2011 to provide young people – primarily from disadvantaged backgrounds – the skills and credentials required for 21st century jobs.

From ransomware to botnets, malware takes seemingly endless forms, and it’s forever proliferating. Try as we might, the humans who would defend our computers from it are drowning in the onslaught, so they are turning to AI for help. Cybersecurity firm Endgame released a large, open-source data set called EMBER (for “Endgame Malware Benchmark for Research”). EMBER is a collection of more than a million representations of benign and malicious Windows-portable executable files, a format where malware often hides. A team at the company also released AI software that can be trained on the data set. The idea is that if AI is to become a potent weapon in the fight against malware, it needs to know what to look for.

The goal was for the AI to engage in a series of reasoned arguments according to some pretty standard rules of debate: no awareness of the debate topic ahead of time, no pre-canned responses. Each side gave a four-minute introductory speech, a four-minute rebuttal to the other’s arguments, and a two-minute closing statement. So the question is: did Project Debater simply not understand the criteria, or did it understand and choose not to engage on those terms? Watching the debate, I figured the answer was that it didn’t quite get it, but I wasn’t positive. I couldn’t tell the difference between an AI not being as smart as it could be and an AI being way smarter than I’ve seen an AI be before. It was a pretty cognitively dissonant moment. Like I said, unsettling.

A free robot lawyer that appealed £2 million in parking tickets can now help you in 1,000 areas of law. Lawyers can be really expensive, and for small disputes like fighting your landlord, claiming lost luggage for an airline, or a parking ticket, it can feel like a fight isn't worth it.

PolicyPal allows customers to buy and manage their insurance policies via mobile. Watson was trained on PolicyPal's database of more than 9,000 insurance policies to be able to gauge the intent of customer queries intuitively, and answer their questions quickly. It has also been trained to explain complex insurance jargon to consumers to improve their understanding of the various insurance products available to them. Watson Conversation uses natural language processing (NPL) and machine learning (ML) to simulate natural human conversation to put consumers at ease.

Érdekes, sőt meglepő! Mely országok hagyatkoznak teljesen kínai technológiára a polgáraik mesterséges intelligenciával (pl.: arcfelismerő rendszerrel) való megfigyelésében? Nem mind meglepetés, Latin-Amerika, Délkelet-Ázsia, Afrika és a Közel-Kelet szinte várható volt. De Hollandia, Japán és Olaszország?
Az, hogy az USA a sajátja mellett kínait is használ, és Kína a sajátja mellett amerikait is, kevésbé lep meg.
Az a statisztika is érdekes kérdéseket vet fel, hogy a hatalomgyakorlás módja és a nagyközönség szisztematikus megfigyelése között milyen a kapcsolat. A liberális demokráciák vezetnek. (Persze, ennek simán lehet annyi az oka, hogy több pénzük van effélére.)
Annak fényében, amivel állandóan vádolják a kínai technológiai cégeket és az ország vezetését (és valószínűleg nem alaptalanul), meglep, hogy a fejlett nyugati demokráciák kínai technológiára támaszkodnak egy ennyire kritikus területen.
Mi lehet ennek az oka? Nincs valódi alternatíva? A cikk szerint a három nagy amerikai cég (IBM, Palantir és Cisco) csak kullog a sokat bírált Huawei mögött. Ami azt illeti, a Palantirnak sem kell a szomszédba mennie egy kis erkölcstelen módszerért: http://collaboration.kerekfypal.blog/p/4095150120/2018/03/07/evek-ota-titokban-figyelik-new-orleans-lakoit-a-palantir-technologiajaval
