Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:BIDU)(OTC:SSFT)

Baidu, Inc. (NasdaqGS:BIDU) has announced an increase in its investments into cloud computing, AI education, AI platforms, chipsets, and data centers in the next ten years in an effort to create a "new infrastructure" for the smart economy of the future. According to the press release, this will involve a bid “to have 5 million intelligent cloud servers by 2030 and train 5 million AI professionals within 5 years, which will help facilitate the widespread application of AI in transportation, city management, finance, energy, health care, and manufacturing to eventually achieve industrial intelligence.” Haifeng Wang, Baidu’s CTO, explained:

"New infrastructure--which encompasses emerging technologies like AI, cloud computing, 5G, IoT, and blockchain--will be the driver for China's economic development in the coming decades.”

"As a world-leading AI platform company, Baidu is well positioned to make large contributions to the development of new infrastructure in China, which will support the implementation of AI applications in different industries."

Sonasoft Corp. (OTC:SSFT) announced that its new AI solution with Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) went live on June 29. The solution leverages Sonasoft’s AI Bot Engine, NuGene, to predict peak electricity usage, allowing DEC greater efficiency and lower costs. Ankur Garg, Chief AI Officer at Sonasoft, explained:

“The model combines actual electricity load consumption and weather data to accurately forecast peak and non-peak days. This model has been trained and optimized to accurately predict both the type of peak and the precise timing of the peak. Furthermore, it then makes a precise recommendation for when to trigger an LC event and send out a Beat-the-Peak notice. This ability to make intelligent recommendations sets NuGene apart from other AI platforms.”

Conversational Systems Market to Exhibit CAGR of 26.3% from 2020-2027 – Driven by AI-Powered Customer Support

A report from Grand View Research finds that the global Conversational Systems market, which was valued at $5.94 billion in 2019, will exhibit a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 26.3 percent in the forecast period 2020-2027. The report attributes this growth “to the rising demand for Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered customer support services.” An excerpt from the report overview expands on this:

AI-powered customer support services help businesses in improving various aspects such as loyalty, online customer experience, preventive assistance, brand reputation, and even generation of revenue streams. Increasing advancements in Natural Language Processing (NLP) and dialog-exchanging tools is expected to fuel the market growth. Increasing deployment of the web business and cloud-based applications is expected to propel the adoption of NLP tools, thereby creating growth opportunities for the market.

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:EXPE) (TSXV:HIVE) (NYSE:V)

Cointelegraph reports that online travel giant Expedia (NasdaqGS:EXPE) is now allowing more than 700,000 accommodations to be booked using cryptocurrency through crypto travel platform Travala.com. For Travala, this comes as an addition to its over 2 million options currently available in 230 countries. An excerpt from the article reads:

Senior Vice President at Expedia Group Alfonso Paredes said that the company aims to scale up Travala.com’s business faster than it did expand so far. Furthermore, he said that the firm also recognizes innovation and the importance of allowing users to choose their preferred payment method.

HIVE Blockchain Technologies Ltd. (TSXV:HIVE) has ordered 200 Bitmain Antminer S17e 60 Terahash per second (TH/s) SHA 256 mining machines in a continuing effort to increase the next generation mining power at its green energy-powered bitcoin mining operation in Quebec. Once these units are installed – tentatively sometime this month – the company projects an aggregate operating hash rate, derived from next generation mining equipment at the aforementioned facility, to reach approximately 131 Petahash per second (PH/s), utilizing less than 6 MW power. According to the press release, “HIVE intends to continue utilizing cash flow to make opportunistic investments in the facility.”

In a recent series of tweets, Cuy Sheffield, the Head of Crypto at Visa (NYSE:V), argued for the primacy of CBDCs in the payments landscape:

I'd argue that central bank digital currency (CBDC) is one of the most important trends for the future of money and payments over the next decade.

A subsequent tweet read:

As governments evaluate CBDC, the path that they decide to take will have major implications for privacy, monetary sovereignty, geopolitics, and financial inclusion, as well as global adoption of crypto dollars and Bitcoin

#AI News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) (OTC: $VSBGF) CEO Provides Corporate Update; @vsbltyco

#AI News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) (OTC: $VSBGF) CEO Provides Corporate Update; @vsbltyco

Philadelphia, PA - July 6, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (CSE: VSBY) (Frankfurt: 5VS) (OTC: VSBGF) ("VSBLTY"), a leading security and retail software technology company, today released its CEO Update to highlight a number of recent milestones and provide an outlook for the coming quarters.

Read this news featuring VSBLTY in full at https://www.investorideas.com/CO/VSBY/news/2020/07061CorporateUpdate.asp

Financial Highlights

VSBLTY Founder & CEO Jay Hutton said, "VSBLTY is pleased to announce strong second quarter results on the back of the recently announced Q1 results. The company recognized revenue of $407,000 USD in Q1 and will follow up with revenue recognition of more than $500,000 USD in Q2."

He further reported, "In February of 2020, the company began working on a product extension and licensing agreement with a Fortune 500 international corporation with whom the company has had a long-standing commercial and strategic partnership. This agreement accelerates the product roadmap of the company while providing a baseline of revenue.

Oriented around computer vision and the DataCaptor™ software module, this agreement defines a specific initial customer but also stipulates how the companies will work together to offer the solution to other joint customers in the sports and entertainment vertical. The company views this agreement as the foundation to a highly collaborative commercial offering that has no technical peer."

COVID-19 Impact

Like many companies, VSBLTY faced some operational challenges in the second quarter due to the unprecedented COVID-19 situation. Hutton commented, "We are in challenging times, but I'm proud to say that our team has responded to enable the company to execute and position ourselves for growth. We secured $200,000 USD in Payroll Protection Funds to ensure we did not lose any of our momentum. In the face of the headwinds we encountered over the last several months we have leveraged our existing capabilities to provide innovative technology solutions to assist with the reopening of the economy. We anticipate strong results in both Q3 and Q4 based on the continued progress on our Latin American Smart City Security initiatives, the anticipated growth in the retail marketplace now that the economy is reopening along with several new opportunities we are pursuing with our COVID-19 response solutions."

Retail Outlook

"We are pleased to update that while the company experienced second quarter delays deploying several projects in the retail marketplace, none of these projects were cancelled and we are anticipating a robust third quarter as retail momentum has already started to return. Beginning in July, VSBLTY will participate in a smart, custom digital display program with a major retail drug store chain. This project will include interactive technology designed to educate consumers with critical, educational information so that they can better manage their own health and wellness," Hutton said.

COVID-19 Technology Solutions

"As the economy begins to reopen there are several new and unique challenges faced by venues and retailers which include density tracking and capacity management. The VSBLTY technology suite is ideally suited to help address these challenges with its computer vision COVID-19 response solutions and we anticipate booking several projects in this vertical in the third quarter. In fact, the company has already begun a deployment with one of the world's most renowned theme parks as part of theirreopening protocols to keep guests and staff safe," according to the VSBLTY CEO.

"The increased regulation related to ‘return to work' protocols has exploded the demand for intelligent kiosk solutions that confirm persons authorized to be in a location as well as conducting thermal checks," he said. "VSBLTY is pursuing the objective of being the ‘go to' solution for embedded software in the facial recognition/thermal detection marketplace. VSBLTY builds solutions that will be incorporated into hardware platforms sold through multiple globally recognized brands. This demand leverages core capability that VSBLTY has already perfected and signals an unanticipated growth area. We expect the kiosk marketplace will represent tens of thousands of units in the coming quarters as the new protocols get adopted across a wide range of industries. VSBLTY is playing an embedded systems role with multiple kiosk manufacturers and we are confident that we will play an important part in this emerging market," Hutton added.

Security Outlook

Hutton also said, "On the security side of the business the smart city project in Mexico City is executing successfully and returning tangible results in crime reduction. The addition of thermal sensing capability in Miguel Hildalgo has led to product expansion that can be applied in multiple markets. Expansion to Colombia was announced by the company in the second quarter and is expected to scale in the coming months."

On May 11, 2020, VSBLTY announced a deal with a leading cyber security firm that is focused on cyber and systems security for buildings. Hutton commented on the importance of the agreement, "COVID-19 has accelerated the adoption of safety and security-related technology for buildings. Access control and employee safety are enhanced through facial recognition and ID data in real time. The addition of temperature monitoring and fever checks of people within facilities is providing real comfort for employees and visitors."

Today’s podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another episode of Investorideas.com "Potcast" featuring cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

In today’s podcast we look at a few public company announcements.

Khiron Life Sciences Corp. (TSXV: KHRN) (OTCQX: KHRNF), a vertically integrated cannabis leader with core operations in Latin America and Europe, announced that it has signed a distribution deal for its Kuida™ CBD cosmeceutical brand with Red Yellow Red, a leading EU distributor of cosmetic products. Kuida skin and body care products for women will be distributed by Red Yellow Red through four major multinational drug store health and beauty distribution groups in Spain.

"The European skincare market is the largest in the world, and as we scale up our EU activity this agreement immediately expands our Kuida footprint into a €1.5 billion market. Red Yellow Red have a large and compelling distribution network, and a robust sales and education program that aligns with our proven market entry approach to help more consumers integrate Kuida into their daily skincare regimen," comments Tejinder Virk, President, Khiron Europe.

Red Yellow Red is a specialized distributor of cosmetic, beauty, lifestyle and personal wellbeing products operating in Spain and Portugal, with access to 20,000 points of sale through four drug store health and beauty distributor groups. To support Kuida sales and brand image, Red Yellow Red will initiate training of retail staff on the current Kuida portfolio, the benefits of cannabidiol (CBD), as well as the brand's unique CBDERM™ technology.

Further Red Yellow Red information can be found at http://www.redyellowred.es/.

"At Red Yellow Red we look to bring innovative and first to market products to our distribution partners and in turn, consumers. Kuida fits that model and is an established skincare brand with an attractive CBD product line that, supported by our training and education program, can have strong appeal across our Spanish pharmacy network," comments José Luis Ganado, Managing Director, Red Yellow Red.

Ikänik Farms, Inc. announced that it has purchased all issued and outstanding shares of Delta 9 Corporation Mexico S.A. de C.V ("D9C"), based in Coyoacán, Mexico. D9C's legal representative is permitted to import and register cannabis seeds for cultivation through the legalized Amparo process. The Company intends to contract-produce for national and international pharmaceutical cannabis and hemp-derived CBD clients.

"I am very excited to welcome D9C and its team of scientific, legal, and regulatory specialists who have been exemplary leaders, shepherding the cannabis legalization process, and providing Ikänik the opportunity to be a 1 of 1 in Mexico", said Brian Baca, CEO of Ikänik Farms, Inc.

D9C is the exclusive Amparo representative to import, cultivate, and produce products derived from cannabis and hemp for national and international markets.

Borja Sanz de Madrid, President of Ikänik International, Inc. further emphasized, "We are proud to participate in this historic moment for Mexico. It will be our honor bringing pharmaceutical cannabis Hecho en Mexico para el mundo"

Upon D9C's legal representative completing the seed importation and registration process, cultivation and facility construction will commence, providing employment opportunities and social support in the communities it serves.

This acquisition marks a significant milestone for the Company, as it continues to grow its multi-national operating presence and prepares to complete a public listing on the Canadian Securities Exchange.

Endexx Corporation (OTC:EDXC), a lifestyle company focused on the intersection of science, compliance, and formulation of innovative phytonutrient-based food and nutritional products, today announced the launch of the Company’s newest product line, Phyto-Drops CBD for Pets. The new line complements the PhytoBites soft chews introduced in 2016 to build a strong suite of Pet products.

“We continued to build, research, and develop new products as R&D is rooted in the DNA of our Company,” commented Endexx Chief Executive Officer and Chairman, Todd Davis. “Our drops are formulated using all-natural ingredients and flavored with natural oils and no sugar.

Hemp, Inc. (OTC: HEMP) announced its support for new guidelines from the U.S. Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network.

“These guidelines help clarify how hemp should be treated and operate in the banking space. This is an important move by the US Department of Treasury in support of the American hemp industry,” said Hemp, Inc. CEO Bruce Perlowin. “A lot of the hurdles that the hemp industry faces come from stigma and misinformation; in the past that has informed policy. Fortunately, the power and promise of hemp is coming to light in the mainstream and we are gaining lots of support from everyday people, regulatory professionals and policy makers.”

The Financial Crimes Enforcement Network’s (FinCEN) new guidelines emphasize that hemp businesses must be treated equally. This means that financial institutions are expected to monitor the transactions made by hemp-related businesses as they would for other clients. The FinCEN instructs the financial institutions to follow standard procedures and file a SAR (Suspicious Activity Report) only if they have been made aware of suspicious activity.

According to the FinCEN, suspicious activity could include:

● A customer appears to be engaged in hemp production in a state or jurisdiction in which hemp production remains illegal.

● A customer appears to be using a state-licensed hemp business as a front or pretext to launder money derived from other criminal activity or derived from marijuana-related activity that may not be permitted under applicable law.

● A customer engaged in hemp production seeks to conceal or disguise involvement in marijuana-related business activity.

● The customer is unable or unwilling to certify or provide sufficient information to demonstrate that it is duly licensed and operating consistent with applicable law, or the financial institution becomes aware that the customer continues to operate after a license revocation, or inconsistently with applicable law.

Additionally, FinCEN provided clarification on requirements for businesses that are involved in both hemp and marijuana, stressing the importance of keeping the proceeds of the businesses separate and ensuring that the customer and its financial institution are able to distinguish which proceeds are marijuana-related and which are hemp-related.
