I read it somewhere, and it made sense; the application of new digital technologies in the global supply chain is about two critical functions – ‘sensing’ and ‘sense-making’, where the first is about connecting and managing assets in transit, and the second is about...

  The Chinese smartphone maker said these two technologies will be key for the firm’s growth strategy within the next five years   Chinese smartphone maker Xiaomi announced plans to invest over CNY 10 billion ($1.48 billion) in areas related to artificial intelligence and the internet of...

Revenues generated by technology in the global supply chain will increase at a compound annual growth rate of 11 per cent over the next five years, reaching $440 billion by 2023. Among emerging technologies, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) will have the most...

AI will make expense reporting, sales, manufacturing and other work applications  a lot more useful—and hopefully less annoying It’s not just your home appliances that are getting smarter. Artificial intelligence (AI) is making its way not only into homes via Internet-connected speakers, thermostats, and insert-your-favorite-kitchen-gizmo-here. It is also...

Service providers are sitting on more marketable data than even Google -- but they’ve been slow to harness it for profit. Here are some ways they can turn things around Not even Google can rival the wealth of consumer data that communication service providers (CSPs)...

In part 1 of this series, we discussed the state of networks heading into 5G, and why we’ll need to move beyond today’s concept of assurance. To achieve tomorrow’s agile, self-organizing networks that can uphold absolute assurance, we’ll need five key components: AI, a...

AI/ML can provide location data used to optimize wireless performance Wireless networks are becoming increasingly complex and, with 5G looming, that will only continue as the mix and density of devices, as well as variability in application requirements, grows. A key to managing this complexity...

  Google will apply IoT, big data and AI to the targeted smart city initiatives   Google has signed an agreement with South Korean firm LG Electronics to focus on the development of smart cities powered by the internet of things, big data, and artificial intelligence, Korean...

There is massive disruption in the telecoms space, driven in the main part by the shift from proprietary hardware to commoditised hardware, and by the virtualisation of network functions in software. We are seeing this in the core network, the radio network, and at the...

Artificial intelligence is a technology that presupposes the advents before it and builds upon them to create an invention of endless applications and limitless possibilities. AI is, in no uncertain terms, a revolutionary technology with implications well beyond its surface. Research continues to further our...

Industries are turning to chatbots to deal with customer care interaction. It’s no wonder why — they can easily deliver answers and solutions via a simple user interface any time of the day. In this article, Olivier Engel of Sicap, explains how telecom service...

Artificial intelligence (AI) will create more jobs than its takes away, as well as bringing new efficiencies and profit making to enterprises. This is the conclusion of new research into the impact of AI on the global workforce, as well as the prevailing opinion...

Rogers aims to start deploying 5G-ready network equipment and infrastructure at UBC starting in early 2019 Canadian telecom group Rogers and the University of British Columbia (UBC) have inked a three-year, multi-million dollar partnership deal to build a real-world 5G hub on the UBC campus...

Samsung said it aims to employ about 1,000 specialists globally in the AI field   Samsung announced plans to open a new artificial intelligence research centre in New York City, with the aim of strengthening the company’s AI capabilities. The South Korean firm said the new AI...

The device will feature image recognition functionalities based on DoCoMo’s AI technology   Japanese telecom operator NTT DoCoMo plans to start trials of a new greenhouse pest monitoring device, the company said in a statement. The device uses an ultra low-power, battery-operated, wireless high-definition camera in conjunction...

Las Vegas, in Nevada, is using artificial intelligence to detect and fix issues within its IT systems, including those underpinning its various smart city projects. California-based FixStream said its deal with Las Vegas is the first implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) for IT operations...

Germany has made its move in the international AI arms race with state support for tech start-ups, a ‘JEDI’ innovation network with France, and backing for its ‘Cyber Valley’ set-up from industrial giants including BMW, Daimler, Porsche, and Bosch. The German government is to create...

In terms of digital technology, computer vision is as old as the hills. In popular terms, its theory of expanded machine consciousness emerged just as Bob Dylan and The Beatles took a more experimental musical turn. It has its roots in a 1966 summer holiday...

Deep learning is a machine learning method that uses multiple layers of nonlinear processing units in cascade. It can be supervised, for things like classification, or unsupervised, for pattern analysis and more. IBM’s Romeo Kienzler prefers to use the term Cognitive System: “A cognitive...

In the present era, it may be difficult to imagine communication service providers (CSPs) not moving toward digital transformation in some way. The new evolving technology ecosystem, demanding customer preferences, and competitive threats present a new playground where CSPs can play. But while CSPs...

Modern manufacturing generates a flood of data that hold the promise of significantly improving many areas, from supply chain management to sensor process variable readings and internal diagnostics to in-process quality data. But the problem is that it is just that — a flood...

Smartphones are getting smarter using artificial intelligence, which means smartphone-processor vendors must improve their AI platforms. To do so, the latest round of premium smartphones implement hardware-based AI accelerators, including Apple’s neural engine, Huawei’s neural-processing unit, and Qualcomm’s Artificial Intelligence Engine, which features the...
