Augmented reality and virtual reality are poised to radically change the lives of billions of people, and a few tech giants will make huge profits as it happens.
Headquartered in Singapore, UnaBiz is a multi-tech IoT service provider that has delivered over 1.4 million sensors in 28 countries worldwide. The 5-year-old scale-up has recently raised US$25 million in its Series B funding and is looking to grow its capabilities and develop solutions in specific verticals.
Taiwan-based Compeq Manufacturing has expressed optimism about high-end HDI PCB demand in 2022, and expects its shipments for low-orbit satellites to double and to contribute 6-8% of its revenues for 2022 from 3-4% in 2021.
With chip vendors (including Broadcom, Intel, MediaTek, and Qualcomm) gearing up for the development of Wi-Fi 7 chip solutions, QFN packaging and burn-in testing demand will be ramping up, according to industry sources.
Marketing technology, or martech, encompasses a broad range of technologies that can accomplish marketing goals. Omniscient Cloud Technologies, a martech startup in Taiwan, is merging with the R&D center of beBit, a Japanese digital and UX strategy consultant firm, form a martech company -- "beBit Technology." beBit and Omniscient announced the merger jointly and described it as a first step to explore the martech domain.
Multiple films have featured how intelligent machines might disobey orders from humans and eventually take over the world. In the opinion of Stuart Russell, professor of electrical engineering and computer science at UC Berkeley, the scenarios could become a reality. But he also said the situation is fixable if we fundamentally change how we build artificial intelligence (AI) systems.
A personal assistant that knows the best time to wake you up. A machine that reads radiology scans together with a pathologist. More and more artificial intelligence (AI) applications have become a reality or are on their way. Daniela Rus, director of MIT's CSAIL (computer science and artificial intelligence laboratory), said the technology has also created challenges. If we can handle them well, AI will improve our lives significantly.
Algorithms are changing our lives in different ways. However, Cathy O'Neil, founder of O'Neil risk consulting and algorithmic auditing, said in some cases, the mathematical models are embedded with opinions and potentially become "weapons" that cause harm.
AI algorithms play a huge part in today's world. They also continue to be refined to perform various tasks better. For example, Hui Chen, professor of finance at MIT Sloan School, has researched applying economic concepts to machine learning algorithms that will make the algorithms "smarter."
Virtual currency has been a topic of interest in the financial technology (FinTech) world. Since the industry is still in its embryonic stage, there is a lot of space for improvement when it comes to transaction monitoring mechanisms. KryptoGO, a regulatory technology (RegTech) startup established in 2019, has served as a due diligence engine that helps financial institutions detect high money laundering risks, and it is planning to construct a zero trust network for the virtual currency industry.
When it comes to creating visual content, finding a proper soundtrack is as important as constructing and gathering materials for storytelling. However, due to copyright reasons, music licensing can be extremely complicated and time-consuming. To make the process easier, AV Mapping has come up with solutions to speed up music licensing for visual content creators around the world.
Mindtronic AI, a Taiwan-based startup, has unveiled Meta-Service, a biometric sensing technology that provides instant access to any visible object in the real world. This technology ushers in the future of mobility, and celebrates the company's fifth CES Innovation Award win since 2018.
Giftpack is an artificial intelligence (AI)-powered corporate gifting CRM that helps businesses create and manage personalized gift lists, send gifts with speed, and track relationship health.
Ever since information security became a key topic in the technology industry, encryption technology has continued to improve, setting a seemingly unattainable bar for privacy protection. AI is another topic for the tech industry, focusing on using massive amounts of data to train AI models and accelerate the intelligentization of terminal devices. While all of this is happening, the market faces a new problem: figuring out how to balance data security and privacy while also providing data to train AI models. From this issue a new startup named DeCloak Intelligences was born.
Taiwanese software developer VM-Fi will debut its groundbreaking real-time translating solution at CES 2022 from Jan 5-8, 2022. VM-Fi provides turnkey 5G real-time artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled simultaneous interpretation with wireless broadcasting to up to hundreds of personal smart devices.
