AI in Education to Hit $2.58 Billion by 2023 with CAGR of 38.88%

Wise Guy Reports has recently published research on the AI in Education market. The report finds that the market will grow to $2.58 billion by 2023 from $375 million in 2018 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 38.88 percent. An article from Forbes last year outlines how AI can be used in education to individualize learning:

Adjusting learning based on an individual student’s particular needs has been a priority for educators for years, but AI will allow a level of differentiation that’s impossible for teachers who have to manage 30 students in each class. There are several companies such as Content Technologies and Carnegie Learning currently developing intelligent instruction design and digital platforms that use AI to provide learning, testing and feedback to students from pre-K to college level that gives them the challenges they are ready for, identifies gaps in knowledge and redirects to new topics when appropriate. As AI gets more sophisticated, it might be possible for a machine to read the expression that passes on a student's face that indicates they are struggling to grasp a subject and will modify a lesson to respond to that. The idea of customizing curriculum for every student's needs is not viable today, but it will be for AI-powered machines.

Gopher Protocol Completes Initial Testing for Avant! AI Mobile App and Wipro Appraised at Maturity Level 5 in CMMI Development View

Stocks discussed: (OTCQB:GOPH) (NYSE:WIT)

Gopher Protocol, Inc. (OTCQB:GOPH) has completed initial testing of its Avant! AI mobile application, which will serve as the interface to Gopher’s Avant! AI system. In an earlier press release, Gopher CTO Dr. Danny Rittman explained the mobile app:

"We are designing Gopher's Avant! AI mobile app, synchronized with the web interface, to ultimately provide users with an information library and user-specific knowledge base available anywhere. Users will be able to build their information library within their account for any topic that they requested when using Avant!. Further information not in the existing library can be accessed by additional Avant! AI queries.”

Wipro Limited (NYSE:WIT) has been appraised at Maturity Level 5 in the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) V2.0 Development View. According to the press release, the appraisal “indicates that an organization is performing at an “optimizing” level”. Singled out for praise was Wipro’s usage of Intelligent Automation through its Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform, HOLMES, and the company’s ability to utilize cutting-edge technologies like Neural Networks and Machine Learning to optimize processes in conjunction with their CMMI adoption. Bhanumurthy B. M., President & Chief Operating Officer, Wipro Limited said:

“This appraisal showcases Wipro’s commitment to deliver high-quality solutions, a great customer experience and strong alignment of our processes with business objectives. The CMMI journey has been instrumental in achieving a high level of customer satisfaction and will ensure that Wipro remains an industry leader in quality.”

BTC Breaks $4K Over Weekend Rally, South Korean Messaging App Kakao to Integrate Crypto Wallet, Citigroup Scraps Crypto Coin and Startup 2gether Announces Prepaid Visa That Allows Crypto Transactions

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:C)

The crypto market gained some steam over the weekend. According to data from CoinMarketCap, it peaked at $141.5 billion on Friday, and has settled at a market cap of $139.5 billion at press time. Particularly impressive was the rally by Bitcoin Cash (BCH), which began the weekend trading for about $140 and at press time is trading for $163. Meanwhile, the flagship cryptocurrency, Bitcoin (BTC) sits at about a $71 billion market cap and is trading for $4030 at press time, having cleared the elusive support level on Friday.

fnnews, a South Korean outlet, reports that Korean messaging app Kakao, which boasts some 44 million users, is integrating a password-protected crypto wallet to its service. In a statement to CCN, Heslin Kim, South Korea-based CEO of BlockchainROK, said of the news:

Kakao is representative of South Korea, a country with over 55 million people. It embodies the fast paced, technology driven lifestyle that Koreans adopt so readily. It’s an app so deeply attached to what it means to be Korean.

The fact that one of the most widely adopted apps, with over 95% market share, is publicly promoting and spreading blockchain/crypto is tremendous for mainstream adoption. Connect the dots with the market share and total population. With Samsung’s S10 and now Kakao’s wallet we can continuously expect Korea to be at the forefront of the DLT disruption.

CoinDesk reports that Citigroup’s (NYSE:C) proposed cryptocurrency, Citicoin, which was initially announced four years ago, has been cancelled. The company has decided to put the work and research that was invested in the project and instead use it to improve existing systems. Gulru Atak, global head of innovation for treasury and trade solutions, and chief of Citigroup’s innovation lab, told the outlet:

“Based on our learnings from that experiment we actually decided to make meaningful improvements in the existing rails by leveraging the payments ecosystem and within that ecosystem, we are considering the fintechs as well or the regulators around the world as well, including SWIFT.”

According to an official announcement, banking startup 2gether is launching a prepaid Visa card in Europe that allows users to make transactions using cryptocurrencies. Users can also buy, sell and trade the seven supported cryptos, which include: Ether (ETH), Bitcoin (BTC), XRP, Bitcoin Cash (BCH), EOS, Stellar (XLM), and Litecoin (LTC). An excerpt from the press release reads:

2gether’s prepaid Visa debit card allows consumers to spend crypto as easily as if they were euros anywhere, instantly without fees. Whether it be shopping at your favorite boutique or taking a friend out for dinner, users simply swipe their 2gether card and it seamlessly integrates cryptocurrency into the everyday lives of its customers, essentially paying with crypto without even realizing it.

A #Blockchain Industry Hub, @GenesisBlockch

A #Blockchain Industry Hub, @GenesisBlockch

There’s a common phrase in every industry, usually citing how the market for that specific market is evolving and changing, how it became a leader on its own.

Offshore and nearshore services, including business process outsourcing such as customer handling, data analytics, market research has become more aggressive, these days it takes charge of business operations such as other companies’ payroll, collections, data processing, consulting, customer management and human resource management.

The country of Costa Rica is a well known haven since a large portion of the local population is English speaking as well as academically capable of covering tasks ranging from the simplest of BPO’s services to management of global companies such as IBM or Amazon.

Genesis Blockchain Technologies has found a home in Costa Rica. This young upstart company is disrupting the market in ways only giant corporations could be able to achieve until now. For starters, it has managed on its own to become a “Free Zone”. Being granted a Free Zone status by the Costa Rican government means your company can operate tax-exempt for 10 years. It has also set up a top of the line BPO services operation run by the name GBT Technologies.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/blockchain/03181GBT-GenesisBlockch.asp

GBT Technologies fills the BPO void companies dealing in the blockchain and cryptocurrency industry need to fill. Being able to work tax-exempt for ten years. To have your resources and operations managed in a country that welcomes the nature of your business is a plus.

This is not the only company under Genesis’ (let’s call it Genesis for short) umbrella, other such as Tokenize-IT, Latinex and Bolcrypto are just a few of them.

Take Tokenize-IT as another example, a business that aims to revolutionize ownership rights. It is being called the first fully compliant platform for creating, launching and investing in Tokenized Assets. Companies can conduct a compliant security token offering for verified accredited investors with both fiat and digital currency contribution options. Investors can use Tokenize-ITs platform to store their security token investments Tokenize-IT is a company fully regulated under Costa Rican Law, thus its financial services license is legitimate and offers security to all investors.

Both GBT Technologies and Tokenize-IT benefit from what each other offers. GBT Technologies offers Tokenize-IT enough resources to boost productivity, and assure that the potential is met while Genesis provides security and a favorable regulation to help the company grow. It’s a win win situation.

We will keep talking about Genesis’ other partners and putting together the amazing castle of opportunities it represents for a contemporary digital trading and manufacturing business.

As of now, I can’t find a common phrase (cited at the beginning of this article) that would match this hub of services and products and what it represents. I believe that as we study Genesis Blockchain Technologies further we will define one.

Cannabeers Coming Soon; #CBD Beer Now In Development and Ready for New Markets: (NYSE: $HEXO) (OTC: $HIPH) (OTC: $SIPC) (NASDAQ: $TLRY

Cannabeers Coming Soon; #CBD Beer Now In Development and Ready for New Markets: (NYSE: $HEXO) (OTC: $HIPH) (OTC: $SIPC) (NASDAQ: $TLRY)

Point Roberts WA, Delta BC – March 18, 2018 - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering hemp and cannabis stocks releases a snapshot looking at how the craft beer industry and the CBD sector are joining forces to bring CBD infused beer to consumers.

New Frontier Data estimates that overall domestic cannabis sales grew 6.7% in 2018, while alcohol sales grew at 5% year over year (source: bw166). It’s clear to see why the marrying of the two sectors is underway.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/cannabis/03181Stocks-CBDBeer.asp

Craft beer and cannabis seem to be moving forward hand-in-hand as more and more cannabis companies look for partnership agreements with public or private brewers to bring CBD-infused beers to market. This has come in many forms including Province Brands’ beer brewed directly from cannabis and hemp, or Michigan’s Founders Brewery which is working with CBD oil in their beers.

In October 2018, Molson Coors Canada, the Canadian business unit of Molson Coors Brewing Company and HEXO Corp. (TSX: HEXO) (NYSE:HEXO) announced the formation of their joint venture, Truss, led by former Molson Coors executive, Brett Vye, in the role of Chief Executive Officer.

Since this news however, Hexo has been quiet on its CBD Beer venture and we will most likely have to wait until closer to October of this year, when Canada is expected to legalize infused beverages and edibles, to hear more news on this front.

American Premium Water Corporation (OTC: HIPH) may not be waiting until October to have products hit shelves, as they recently announced an agreement with Hanlons Brewery in England to produce beer infused with CBD using the Company’s proprietary formulation. Testing will begin immediately on the combination of the Company’s proprietary hydro-nano CBD formulation with Hanlon’s beer, with commercial sales to be determined at a later date.

CEO of American Premium Water Corporation, Ryan Fishoff commented, “I am excited to announce that the Company has entered to an agreement with Hanlons brewery in the UK. This is a very exciting partnership that provides numerous possibilities for monetization, and brand recognition on the European continent. The liquor and beer industry has been very fascinated with the introduction of CBD into the market, and this partnership affords us the opportunity to step into the discussion with the larger players in the market. We’re going to begin experimenting with the process of combining beer and the CBD formulations immediately. The goal will be to have a product available for commercial sale as soon as possible. I will keep shareholders abreast when there are developments on bringing the product to market.”

According to Mordor Intelligence, the European beer market is estimated to be around $185 Billion in size, which presents a huge opportunity for HIPH as the Company prepares to enter into such a large market.

Sipp Industries, Inc. (OTC: SIPC), a newcomer to the space and the first publicly traded company in America whose primary focus is the production and sales of hemp-infused beer is looking to the US, having announced that it has submitted a new Cannabidiol (CBD) beer formula to the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau (TTB).

Sipp Industries’ CBD-infused beer formula has been under development since 2017 when the first test batch was produced and the Company submitted its final version of this Hemp and CBD-infused craft beer recipe in February along with all of the required regulatory documentation, including sourcing data and laboratory testing.

Much like Hexo and Molson, we are still awaiting news from Tilray, Inc. (NASDAQ: TLRY), a global leader in cannabis research, cultivation, production and distribution, and Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV on their infused beverage program which was also announced late last year. That doesn’t mean the company has been silent, as Tilray recently announced the closing of a definitive agreement in which Tilray has acquired all of the issued and outstanding securities of FHF Holdings Ltd. (“Manitoba Harvest”) for an aggregate maximum purchase price of C$419 million.

By leveraging Manitoba Harvest’s established distribution network, Tilray plans to accelerate its expansion into US and Canadian markets, where legal, for CBD products.

With so many beer/CBD product developments in the works, the big question now is “who will have their products ready for the next shift in legalization?” Bigger producers like Canopy and Constellation or Hexo and Molson may have a distribution edge but will their beers hold up against smaller craft brewers? We’ve seen the ‘crafters’ take significant market share from large producers over the past few decades, we’ll have to wait to see if they can do it again with a new generation of brews.

AR and VR Technology Going Mainstream - Sector Snapshot ; (NASDAQ: $VUZI) (NYSE: $SNAP) (NASDAQ: $AAXN) (NASDAQ: $LITE)

AR and VR Technology Going Mainstream - Sector Snapshot ; (NASDAQ: $VUZI) (NYSE: $SNAP) (NASDAQ: $AAXN) (NASDAQ: $LITE)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta BC - March 18, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Investorideas.com, a global investor news source covering tech stocks, releases a snapshot looking at VR and AR stocks and future implications and applications for these technologies.

One of the first mainstream introductions of augmented reality began with Google Glass in 2013. Since then, AR and VR tech has been evolving rapidly beyond just 'hype', and mass adoption is in the very near future.

According to International Data Corporation (IDC), global spending on AR/VR is forecasted to reach $20.4 billion this year. This is a nearly 70% jump over 2018. Moreover, worldwide spending on AR/VR products is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 70% through 2022.

Researchandmarkets recently reported on the sector, noting companies like Daqri, Vuzix and Optivent make AR headsets with a focus on enterprise applications for their devices.

Vuzix Corporation (NASDAQ: VUZI), a leading supplier of Smart Glasses and Augmented Reality (AR) technology and products holds 144 patents and patents pending and numerous IP licenses in the Video Eyewear field. According to the Company’s December report, Vuzix has more than 16,000 smart glasses in the field.

Read this in full at https://www.investorideas.com/news/2019/technology/03181Stocks-AR-VR.asp

In a recent 8K filing, Vuzix entered into a master reseller agreement with Verizon Sourcing LLC. Vuzix will sell to Verizon, Verizon affiliates and sub-resellers, the Company’s smart glasses products including Vuzix M300XL Smart Glasses and M-Series related accessories, Vuzix Blade Smart Glasses and Vuzix Basics Video. The Company expects to start receiving purchase orders under the master reseller agreement in the second quarter of 2019.

Vuzix also has relationships with other tech leaders, announcing in late February the debut of Vuzix' next generation enterprise smart glasses, the M400, one of the first products made commercially available using the Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ XR1 platform.

Leading up to this next phase of growth, Vuzix also just reported it has been assessed and certified as meeting the requirements of ISO 9001:2015 for design and manufacture of wearable display technology, virtual reality and augmented reality products.

Snap Inc. (NYSE: SNAP) recently announced an AR collaboration with LEGO Wear to launch the latter’s first limited-edition clothing line for adults. The clothing store opened its gates in Fitzrovia, London for one day only, however, to lure users and boost engagement level, augmented reality (AR) technology was used to transform the empty shop into a virtual boutique.

Upon scanning the Snapcode, Snapchat users got to experience a virtual shop on their smartphone, featuring an interactive DJ booth, LEGO bouncer, arcade machine and clothes displayed on LEGO mannequins. The move can be attributed to LEGO’s decision to tap into "the sense of style and nostalgia" of millennials.

Axon (NASDAQ: AAXN), a leader in connected public safety technologies, is looking forward not only into the potential applications of these technologies, but also the implied ethics surrounding them. Axon recently announced the appointment of Mecole Jordan, Executive Director of United Congress of Community and Religious Organizations, Christy Lopez, Distinguished Visitor from Practice at Georgetown University Law Center, and Kathleen O'Toole, Former Seattle Police Chief and Boston Police Commissioner to Axon's AI and Policing Technology Ethics Board. Axon also announced that it will host implicit bias awareness training for developers on Axon's AI Research team on May 8^th, in Seattle, WA. For more information on the AI and Policing Technology Ethics Board, visit: www.axon.com/ethics.

"It is great to see that Axon is committed to developing AI technology with attention to human biases," says Dr. Lorie Fridell, former Director of Research at the Police Executive Research Forum (PERF) and national expert on biased policing. "This is the first time we've worked with a technology company for internal bias training. With the implementation of its ethics advisory board, and now the anti-bias training, Axon is truly taking a leadership role when it comes to responsibly developing this technology."

Lumentum Holdings Inc. (NASDAQ: LITE), a market-leading designer and manufacturer of innovative optical and photonic products and Acacia Communications, Inc., a leading provider of high-speed coherent optical interconnect products have focused on a different factor affecting AR and VR tech: compatibility. The two jointly announced that they have successfully demonstrated interoperability between their respective CFP2-DCO modules operating at 200G.

CFP2-DCOs are becoming increasingly important for higher-speed optical networks because they integrate the coherent DSP into the pluggable module. The digital host interface enables simpler integration between module and system, resulting in faster service activation for telecommunication providers, and a pay-as-you-grow deployment model whereby the cost of additional ports can be deferred until additional services are needed.

With the massive improvements in these linked technologies, we aren’t far from an augmented future; a merger between our physical and digital footprints. More large tech companies like Apple, Google and Verizon are betting on the future of AR/VR, even though the far-reaching implications of these technologies are still unknown.

Investorideas.com has created a directory of tech stocks, including VR and AR stocks for investors following the sector.
