Today’s Column- The AI Eye- Watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:IBM) (Nasdaq:NICE)

IBM (NYSE:IBM) has added a new set of automation capabilities for its Watson Studio called AutoAI. This development frees up data scientists by automating complicated and laborious tasks associated with designing, optimizing and governing AI in the enterprise. Rob Thomas, General Manager, IBM Data and AI, explained:

"IBM has been working closely with clients as they chart their paths to AI, and one of the first challenges many face is data prep – a foundational step in AI. We have seen that complexity of data infrastructures can be daunting to the most sophisticated companies, but it can be overwhelming for those with little to no technical resources. The automation capabilities we're putting Watson Studio are designed to smooth the process and help clients start building ML models and experiments faster."

Additionally, IBM and the All England Lawn Tennis Club (AELTC), the venue that hosts Wimbledon, have continued their partnership with the announcement of a series of innovations for The Championships 2019 across AI and Cloud. These include an Enhanced AI-powered automated video highlights for Wimbledon fans and the development of a progressive web app. Sam Seddon, IBM Wimbledon Client Executive, said:

"For 30 years we have been working with Wimbledon to introduce new technologies that enhance fan experience. For more than a century, IBM has responsibly ushered into the world revolutionary technologies, building enterprise solutions that are trusted as part of our DNA, and we are dedicated to delivering AI systems that are built responsibly. It seems fitting that to mark the 30th year of our partnership, one of the new innovations for The Championships, Wimbledon 2019 will be eliminating bias in creation of the video highlights package."

NICE Ltd. (NasdaqGS:NICE) has unveiled a new version of its cloud-based customer feedback management solution, NICE Satmetrix. According to the press release, this new version includes “an innovative AI engine to swiftly identify trending topics from customer feedback in real-time, customizable in-product metrics tracking and reporting, and multi-layered no-send rules to avoid survey fatigue and increase response rate”. Barry Cooper, President, NICE Enterprise Group, said:

"The latest NICE Satmetrix release changes the game by enabling organizations to adopt a forward-looking approach to customer experience. With this new version, companies can benefit from customized analytics and KPIs and more easily manage a dynamic program to meet the needs of their complex organization.”

Global Enterprise AI Market to Hit $6.141 Billion by 2025

Research from Report Consultant finds that the global enterprise AI market will grow to $6.141 billion USD by 2025 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 49 percent, according to the website A Market Research Report. An excerpt from that site reads:

Enterprise AI is the ability to embed AI methodology into the very core of the organization and into the data governance strategy. This means augmenting the work of people across all teams and disciplines with AI for more innovative operations, processes, products, and more. There is and has been an avaricious demand for the Enterprise AI Market in a lot of worldwide associations, so a few market [analysts] have given their time and reason to go to the basis of the trend and see what is the proclivity of this substantial market performance. With the most flourishing research data, investigators could understand the insight of the global market.

Delta, Kelowna, BC –June 14, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) www.Investorideas.com, a global news source covering leading sectors including marijuana and hemp stocks and its potcast site, www.potcasts.ca  release today’s edition of Investorideas.com potcastsCM - cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

Listen to the podcast:



Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com “potcasts”, looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we are looking at a few early announcements.

But first, Nevada Gov. Steve Sisolak signed Assembly Bill 132 making it illegal for employers to rebuff job applicants based on the results of a marijuana test. The law will go into effect on Jan. 1, 2020.

The law, however, will not apply to people up for jobs as firefighters and public safety positions, including emergency medical technicians, according to the legislation.

When the Nevada Trucking Association objected to the proposal, the legislation was rewritten to allow pre-hiring testing for operators of motor vehicles or other positions that “in the determination of the employer, could adversely affect the safety of others," according to the law.

"As our legal cannabis industry continues to flourish, it’s important to ensure that the door of economic opportunity remains open for all Nevadans. That’s why I was proud to sign AB 132 into law, which contains common-sense exceptions for public safety and transportation professionals," Sisolak, a Democrat elected governor in November 2018, said in a statement.

TruTrace Technologies Inc. (CSE: TTT) (OTC: BKKSF), creator of the first fully-integrated blockchain platform that registers and tracks intellectual property for the cannabis industry, announced that its shares will begin trading at market open on Friday, June 14th, 2019 on the Canadian Securities Exchange ("CSE") under the symbol "TTT."  Effective at the close of business on Thursday, June 13, 2019, the common shares were delisted from TSX Venture Exchange at the request of the Company.

"This is the start of an exciting new chapter for TruTrace Technologies and one that enables us to pursue development opportunities outside of Canada, such as our intent to integrate our technology into the hemp based CBD industry, amongst other initiatives," said TruTrace CEO Robert Galarza. "With this move, we can officially open our Los Angeles office, expand operations and take advantage of the significant business opportunities south of the border. The CSE listing should provide TruTrace with increased visibility with prospective global investors, improved liquidity and a more diversified shareholder base."

TruTrace Technologies has developed the first integrated blockchain platform to register and track intellectual property in the cannabis industry. TruTrace's technology allows cannabis growers and breeders to identify and secure rights to their intellectual property. It also streamlines the administrative process and reduces the costs of genetic and mandatory quality-control testing for legal cannabis. TruTrace's technology is proprietary, immutable and cryptographically secure, thereby establishing a single-source, accurate, validated and permanent account for cannabis strains from ownership to market.

Choom™ (CSE: CHOO) (OTCQB: CHOOFunveils its retail concept and experience tomorrow in Niagara Falls, Ontario. As one of 25 cannabis stores authorized to open in the province, Choom Niagara provides a curated selection of premium products in an immersive environment designed to elevate and empower consumers.

In addition to holding distinction as Niagara Falls' first cannabis store, Choom Niagara represents the brand's debut retail presence in Ontario. With a store firmly established in the key Ontario market, Choom will continue its nationwide rollout, supporting the company's overarching goal to secure one of the largest cannabis retail networks in North America.
Choom Niagara carries a diverse range of products, from dry flower and pre-rolls, to oils and capsules. All items are selected from a wide range of Canadian licensed producers, with the product portfolio strategically curated to ignite customer curiosity and encourage cannabis exploration.

Store associates have undergone stringent cannabis sommelier training, ensuring clients receive expert customer service customized to their specific needs. The store's intuitive aesthetic, designed by commercial architect and interior design firm Hodgson Design Associates, achieves a relaxed and inviting environment, seamlessly guiding visitors through displays of THC-dominant, CBD-dominant and balanced products. Toronto businesswoman, Lisa Bigioni, was selected from a lottery of qualified candidates to own and manage the store.

"I'm delighted to serve the Niagara community, and can't wait to hit the ground running," said Bigioni. "My goal is for the store to become an indispensable resource for cannabis education and support for the local community. Choom's extensive experience in regulated industries provides invaluable insight on store operations, and together we'll deliver a cannabis retail experience the city can be proud of."

Canopy Growth Corporation (TSX: WEED) (NYSE: CGCand Acreage Holdings, Inc. (CSE: ACRG.U) (OTC: ACRGF) thanked shareholders for their overwhelming support to date and remind shareholders to vote on the applicable resolutions in connection with the proposed acquisition of Acreage by Canopy Growth, before the voting deadline of 10:00 am (EST) on Monday, June 17, 2019.

The boards of directors of both Canopy Growth and Acreage unanimously support the Transaction and believe that it will create significant value for both sets of shareholders and each recommend that their respective shareholders vote FOR the various resolutions at the respective special meetings of shareholders of Canopy Growth and Acreage.
Acreage shareholders will receive a significant upfront cash payment of approximately US$2.51 - US$2.63 per Subordinate Voting Share (with holders of other classes of Acreage Shares being entitled to an amount determined on an as-converted to Subordinate Voting Share basis) and are expected to benefit from accelerated expansion, improved scale, and a stronger market position in the U.S., powered by the IP and brand rights of the world's leading cannabis company. For Canopy Growth shareholders, the Transaction represents a clear path for Canopy Growth to enter the U.S. cannabis market, when federally-permissible, and will introduce its brands and consumer products in the United States.
Kali-Extracts, Inc. (OTC: KALYand Nouveau (OTC: NOUV) today announced moving forward with a CBD extraction lab the two companies have had in the works now that Texas Governor Greg Abbott signed a new law Monday this week legalizing hemp and hemp-derived products. NOUV has 100 acer’s set aside for hemp cultivation.  NOUV currently operates a 25-greenhouse growing operation and in partnership with KALY plans to build an additional state-of-the-art greenhouse for the purpose of developing a proprietary cannabis cultivar. KALY has a U.S. Patented Cannabis Extraction Process. Together NOUV and KALY plan to develop proprietary extractions from proprietary cultivars.
KALY Targets $20 Million In 2019 Sales

Earlier this week, the company published a management overview on the company’s mobile cannabis extraction capacity. KALY recently announced a contract with a New York State Licensed Hemp Cultivation Operation anticipated to generate an estimated $5 million in revenue for KALY. The extraction for the New York State Licensed Hemp Cultivation Operator will be conducted via a proprietary mobile extraction unit.  With the extraction capacity being mobile, KALY management believes the company could contract potentially more than $20 million in similar contracts.

Finally, this weekend marks the first Father’s Day since the federal legalization of cannabis in Canada. Lift & Co. Corp. (TSXV: LIFT) (OTCQB: LFCOFtoday released the results of a targeted poll of dads who are also cannabis consumers and found that the majority of respondents would welcome a cannabis gift this year, and the majority consider responsible cannabis consumption the same as responsible alcohol consumption.
      The majority of respondents (88%) said they agree that responsible cannabis consumption is the same as responsible alcohol consumption
      Overall, 83% of respondents said they would like to receive a cannabis-related gift for Father’s Day
      Dads aged 25-54 are more open to receive a cannabis-related gift (90%) than dads aged 55+ (66%)
      45% of dads said they would like to receive a cannabis-related gift from their spouse
This targeted poll follows a recent presentation at the Lift & Co. Cannabis Business Conference on June 6 in Toronto where Lift & Co. and Headset co-presented a talk titled Forecasting Canada: An Early Look into Consumer Profiles, finding early indications of consumer archetypes in Canadian cannabis. Overall, men are more likely to self-identify as connoisseurs (62% of men vs. 46% of women). They are more likely to prefer high THC products and tend to purchase dried flower products over oil. Men were also most likely to consume cannabis for relaxation and socialization.

Lift & Co. polled cannabis-consuming dads and cannabis consumers from the Company’s proprietary cannabis consumer review panels.

June 14 Crypto Corner

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:V) (NYSE:MA) (Nasdaq:PYPL) (NYSE:UBER) (Nasdaq:FB) (OTC:CLCI) (Nasdaq:AMZN)

Crypto exchange giant Binance is expanding to the U.S. with the opening of a new division, according to a report from Cointelegraph yesterday. Binance US will be operated by BAM Trading Services, the company’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (FinCEN) approved partner. Binance CEO Changpeng Zhao commented:

“We are excited to finally launch Binance US and bring the security, speed, and liquidity of Binance.com to North America. Binance US will be led by our local partner BAM and will serve the U.S. market in full regulatory compliance.”

CoinDesk reports that, according to an article published by the Wall Street Journal, Visa (NYSE:V), Mastercard (NYSE:MA), PayPal (NasdaqGS:PYPL) and Uber (NYSE:UBER) are all backing Facebook’s (NasdaqGS:FB) planned cryptocurrency. The more than a dozen total backers will form a governing consortium for Facebook’s GlobalCoin, and will make an investment to the tune of about $10 million USD. GlobalCoin, which is reportedly designed as a stablecoin, is expected to be officially unveiled on June 18.

Fintech and blockchain company CLIC Technology (OTC:CLCI) has partnered with blockchain infrastructure provider and B2B platform Opporty to develop a browser extension that will allow users to make purchases on Amazon.com (NasdaqGS:AMZN) using Ethereum (ETH). CLIC Technology CEO Roman Bond said:

"Bringing cryptocurrency to the e-commerce marketplace is the merging of two next-generation industries. We're excited to be working on this project with Opporty, and to move forward on a number of other ambitious projects with them as well."

Payments firm Circle has announced the discontinuation of its payments app Circle Pay to focus on its crypto financial services. As of July 8, users will no longer be able to buy or send cryptocurrencies through the app. On July 31, funds will be returned to customers linked bank accounts or credit cards. The blog post explains:

With the creation of fiat tokens and stablecoins such as USD Coin (USDC), people can seamlessly transfer fiat value over blockchains without the risk of cryptocurrency volatility, making peer-to-peer payments instant, global, secure, and free, significantly advancing our original vision and providing more global seamless opportunity for people around the world. As such, we believe that it is appropriate to retire Circle Pay at this time.
