Global AI in Social Media Market to Hit $2.23 Billion by 2023

A report from Research and Markets indicates that the Global AI in Social Media Market is projected to grow from $365.83 million in 2017 to $2.23 billion in 2023 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 28.6 percent in the forecast period 2018-2023. An excerpt from the report summary reads:

In social media, artificial intelligence is gaining prominence, as most modern-day consumers are active on social media. With the increasing volume of unstructured data, booming number of social media influencers, and rising number of requests for service via social channels, marketers from various end-user industries (such as BFSI, e-commerce, telecommunication, etc.,) are actively exploring AI-based tools, to leverage the power of social media.

In addition, the increasing adoption of AI technologies for numerous applications in social media and rising use of AI-enabled smartphones are anticipated to fuel the growth of the AI in social media market. However, the presence of a limited number of AI experts and sluggish adoption of AI in developing economies are projected to hamper the growth of the market studied, over the forecast period.

IBM Launches New AI Customer Experience Solutions at NRF 2019, NICE Actimize Announces Financial Crime Enterprise Consulting & Advisory Practice and FICO Partners with Conductor to Tackle Payment Fraud with Falcon Platform

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:IBM) (NasdaqGS:NICE) (NYSE:FICO)

IBM (NYSE:IBM) launched new AI-powered innovations aimed at customer experience in the retail sector at the National Retail Federation's 2019 Big Show and Expo. Enabling a culture of digital operations and customer experience innovations is IBM Order Management with Watson Order Optimizer, and IBM MetroPulse, which help retailers improve omni-channel profitability and customer satisfaction. Luq Niazi, Global Managing Director, IBM Consumer Industries said:

"The changing landscape across today's retail and consumer industries has resulted in a rapid rise of emerging technologies, especially when it comes to Automation and Artificial Intelligence. Retail is one of the sectors to already implement and invest in cognitive and AI technologies, resulting in new and unexpected offerings for consumers and shoppers around the world."

NICE Ltd.'s (NasdaqGS:NICE) NICE Actimize business, a leader in Autonomous Financial Crime Management, has announced the launch of a world-class Financial Crime Enterprise Consulting & Advisory Practice (eCAP). NICE Actimize CEO Craig Costigan explained the new practice:

"Our powerful new service and consulting model was designed to further establish us as trusted advisors in financial crime and compliance related issues and implementations, and it allows us to enable our customers to stay on top of developing technologies such as artificial intelligence and robotic process automation, as well as create best practices for operational excellence and utilization of cost effective techniques. Our vision of Autonomous Financial Crime management meshes perfectly with this approach to provide these benefits and more as we attack all aspects of financial crime."

Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO) (NYSE:FICO) has partnered with Brazilian electronic payments company Conductor to protect Brazilian payment cards from fraud. This will be achieved with the FICO Falcon platform, which uses Cognitive Fraud Analytics and artificial intelligence technology, detects fraud in real time and can adapt to changes in fraud trends. Alexandre Graff, vice president of FICO in Latin America explained the platform:

"Falcon is an artificial intelligence solution based on dozens of machine learning patents that excel at detecting transactional fraud. Falcon models are based on the largest data fraud consortium in the world, the Falcon Intelligence Network. Conductor will also offer omnichannel communication based on FICO Customer Communication Services, which further reduces false positives and takes user experience to a higher level. For example, when the system identifies abnormal behavior, it communicates directly with the user's preferred communication channel to confirm whether it is fraud or not."

Investorideas.com - #Cannabis #Stock News Alert: Pure Global Cannabis (TSX.V: $PURE.V) (OTC: $PRCNF) Announces Health Canada Sales License, @pureglobalcanna

#Cannabis #Stock News Alert: Pure Global Cannabis (TSX.V: $PURE.V) (OTC: $PRCNF) Announces Health Canada Sales License, @pureglobalcanna

TORONTO - January 16, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Cannabis stock news alert Pure Global Cannabis Inc. (TSX.V:PURE) (OTC: PRCNF) (FRA:1QS) an integrated, growth-oriented life sciences and consumer products cannabis company, through its subsidiary PureSinse Inc. ("PureSinse"), reports that Health Canada has issued PureSinse a Sales License under the Cannabis Act.

Eligible and pre-registered Canadian medical patients can soon select from two dozen premium cannabis products offered by PureSinse, via its newly launched eCommerce website at PureSinse.com. The Company is committed to supporting medical cannabis patients by emphasizing the quality of and access to the products they need. The Company anticipates growing to 70 SKUs (stock-keeping units) by mid-2019, including adding extracted oil products, and vape pens.

PureSinse continues to demonstrate commitment to the medical community by leading one of the largest real-world evidence-based clinical studies in conjunction with the Appletree Medical Group and one of the largest Clinical Research Organizations in the world. The clinical data, which will be collected from thousands of patients, will provide necessary data points for guidance in the therapeutic benefits of specific cannabis strains for commonly reported medical symptoms. This evidence will guide PureSinse's future pharmaceutical product and consumer product development plans and provide the medical community with published peer reviewed observational data on the efficacy of medical cannabis for a range of conditions.

As part of the Sales Licence, the Company can also sell products into the adult-legal consumer market through provincially licensed retailers, for which it is launching uniquely curated lines of consumer products tailored to specific market segments.

"This is a significant milestone for us and something we have been vigorously preparing for over the last several months," said Malay Panchal, CEO of Pure Global. "We feel the medical community has been hugely underserviced with poor patient and physician education, and product offerings, areas we hope to be trail blazers in and make a significant contribution to in 2019," added Mr. Panchal.

Investorideas.com - #CyberSecurity and #Security for 2019: VirtualArmour (CSE: $VAI.C) (OTCQB: $VTLR), Patriot One (TSX-V: $PAT.V) (OTC: $PTOTF), Check Point (NASDAQ: $CHKP), FireEye (NASDAQ: $FEYE)

#CyberSecurity and #Security for 2019: VirtualArmour (CSE: $VAI.C) (OTCQB: $VTLR), Patriot One (TSX-V: $PAT.V) (OTC: $PTOTF), Check Point (NASDAQ: $CHKP), FireEye (NASDAQ: $FEYE)

Point Roberts, WA and Delta, BC - January 16, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Cyber stocks news alert - Investorideas.com, a leading investor news resource covering defense and security stocks and its defense portal, Homelanddefensestocks.com, release a snapshot looking at the recent surge in demand for cyber security technology following the numerous breaches and hacks of 2018.

Google, Facebook, British Airways, T-Mobile, Uber and Marriott all suffered from very public cyber security breaches in 2018 due to preventable lapses in security which ended up exposing personal data from hundreds of millions of individuals to unauthorized users. How will this affect cybersecurity for 2019?

According to Cybersecurity Ventures' recent quarterly report, global cybersecurity spending is predicted to exceed $1 trillion cumulatively from 2018 to 2021. In 2004, the global cybersecurity market was worth $3.5 billion while in 2019, spending is expected to hit $120 billion.

"Last year's major data security breaches could have been prevented with a properly implemented cybersecurity strategy and proactive management," according to Andrew Douthwaite, Chief Technology Officer at VirtualArmour International (OTCQB:VTLR) (CSE:VAI), a fast-growing cybersecurity managed services provider based in Denver, Colorado.

Leading the growth of VirtualArmour over the last decade, Douthwaite knows a few things about cybersecurity, and his company's track record shows it. "While there were plenty of attempts, none of our enterprise clients were breached utilizing our services in 2018 - or ever, for that matter, since they became a client - and for good reason," said Douthwaite. "We are the best at what we do."

VirtualArmour services a wide range of clients, which include Fortune 500 companies and several industry sectors in over 30 countries across five continents. Its customized solutions help businesses build, monitor, maintain and secure their networks, and it maintains 24/7 client monitoring with specialist teams located at its U.S. and UK-based security operation centers.

"While the big breaches in 2018 are behind us, companies should brace for more sophisticated and devastating attacks in the new year," said Douthwaite. "Cybercrime remains a seriously strong threat, and every business manager should be taking steps to ensure that their company does not become a successful target."

To keep pace with the rising sophistication of cyber threats, FireEye, Inc. (NASDAQ:FEYE) announced adding new features to the FireEye Email Security - Server Edition.

The new capabilities include Multi-Vector Virtual Execution (MVX) engine, which can use image-set passwords in emails to analyze the related password-protected files — a feature which most sandbox detection are unable to analyze.

FireEye's MalwareGuard, which was launched recently, is also among the new additions to the FireEye Email Security - Server Edition.

The key intent behind the new upgrades is the growing incidences of executive impersonation attacks, which do not contain any malware but significantly jeopardize business emails. This is becoming a concern because people tend to access and respond to such emails because they look official and legitimate.

Online security may be paramount but there is also the need for real world security coupling such as with Patriot One Technologies Inc. (TSX-V:PAT) (OTC:PTOTF), developer of the award-winning PATSCAN™ covert radar weapons detection system, who recently closed its acquisition of EhEye Inc., which is now a wholly-owned subsidiary of Patriot One and its video recognition software rebranded as PATSCAN VRS.

This unique system automates the detection of weapons, disturbances and suspicious behaviors through existing camera infrastructure. Using computer vision techniques coupled with machine learning for artifact recognition, the solution employs deep learning architecture to alert security teams to anomalies that a standard video system cannot identify.

Check Point® Software Technologies Ltd. (NASDAQ: CHKP), a leading provider of cyber security solutions globally, also announced a recent acquisition, ForceNock Security Ltd.

ForceNock developed a Web Application and API Protection technology which utilizes machine learning, behavioral and reputation-based security engines which Check Point plans to integrate into its Infinity total protection architecture.

Andrew Douthwaite, delved more into these simple solutions and other major 2018 breaches in a recent article published on LinkedIn.com here, with his conclusion being simple and obvious.

"You should have a robust cybersecurity strategy and preventative operating procedures in place, be constantly monitoring all of your network - looking for incidents such as unauthorized access, and make sure that your employees receive comprehensive and up to date cybersecurity training."

NXT-ID (NASDAQ: $NXTD): Garmin PayTM Ecosystem Expands With the Launch of the vívoactive® 3 Music With LTE From Garmin®

Contactless payment feature now included on 11 devices and supported globally by a network of more than 260 banks in 30 countries

SEBASTIAN, Florida - January 16, 2019 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Fit Pay, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Nxt-ID, Inc. (NASDAQ: NXTD), today announced the expansion of Garmin PayTM, a contactless payment solution, to the 11th smartwatch from Garmin International, Inc. The new smartwatch, the vívoactive 3 Music with LTE connectivity, launched in conjunction with the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 7, 2019. The Garmin Pay contactless payment feature and digital wallet, which is powered by FitPay, enables consumers to make highly secure contactless payments at millions of near field communication enabled (NFC) point-of-sale (POS) terminals worldwide.

"We introduced Garmin Pay in 2017 with the launch of the vívoactive 3, and we are pleased with how this feature has expanded to encompass additional product lines, including smartwatches built for athletes, adventure seekers, pilots and more," said Dan Bartel, Garmin vice president of global consumer sales. "Garmin Pay provides our customers with the flexibility to pay with their wrist, and as we move forward, we know that even more Garmin customers will have the opportunity to experience this great feature."

"Garmin is again breaking new ground in the smartwatch category with a triple-threat device that offers LTE, music and payment capabilities," said Michael Orlando, NXT-ID COO and Fit Pay president. "We are proud to collaborate with a company that has shown such a commitment to enhancing their users' payment experience across such a wide variety of device offerings."

Garmin Pay allows Garmin users to make contactless payments free from having their phone or wallet present. The payment feature includes a digital wallet, which is integrated into the Garmin Connect™ user application. In addition to the vívoactive 3 Music with LTE connectivity, Garmin Pay is also available on other smartwatches by Garmin including the D2™ Delta S, D2 Delta, D2 Delta PX, fēnix® 5S Plus, fēnix 5 Plus, fēnix 5X Plus, Forerunner® 645, Forerunner 645 Music, vívoactive 3 and vívoactive 3 Music.

"In addition to the extension of Garmin Pay to a diverse portfolio of devices, we have also seen tremendous adoption globally among bank and credit account issuers," said Orlando. "The worldwide network of banks and issuers supporting Garmin Pay continually expands, driving new digital wallet activations by Garmin users."

Since the Garmin Pay feature was launched in November 2017, the card network and issuing bank support for the service has grown to include the major card networks and more than 260 banks in 30 countries on four continents worldwide. Garmin Pay was the first device-based contactless payment service to enter the German market and was recently added by banks in the United Arab Emirates and Mexico.

Garmin Pay is powered by the FitPay Token Requester Management Platform, which enables cardholders to securely add their payment credentials to devices that are integrated with FitPay's token management solution. The platform uses tokenization, a payment security technology that replaces cardholders' account information with a unique digital identifier (a "token"), to transact highly secure contactless payments.

Today's podcast overview/transcript:

Good afternoon and welcome to another Investorideas.com "potcast", looking at cannabis news, stocks to watch as well as insights from thought leaders and experts.

Today we will be looking at announcements from Organigram Holdings Inc. (TSX VENTURE: OGI) (OTCQX: OGRMF), Flower One Holdings Inc. (CSE: FONE) (OTCQB: FLOOF), Rapid Dose Therapeutics Inc. (CSE: DOSE), Australis Capital Inc. (CSE: AUSA), Beleave Inc. (CSE: BE) (OTCQX: BLEVF) and Cannvas MedTech Inc. (CSE: MTEC) (OTCPK: CANVF).

Organigram Holdings Inc., the parent company of Organigram Inc., a leading licensed producer of cannabis announced it is the first in the Canadian cannabis industry to introduce Integra Boost packaging technology into its entire line of dry flower products from 1g to 15g to help maintain freshness, extend shelf life and enhance the overall customer experience.

"At Organigram, we are exceptionally proud of the quality of our products," says Ray Gracewood, Chief Commercial Officer, Organigram. "At every step, we look for ways to ensure our products reflect the very best that science and technology have to offer. Now, we can extend that commitment to our product even after it leaves our facility. The Integra Boost technology helps us ensure our customers always receive product that is fresh."

Integra Boost packs have accompanied Organigram's Edison Reserve line of premium cannabis products since the Edison launch in 2018. "Uncompromised quality is a hallmark of the Edison Reserve brand and we've seen first hand the outstanding benefits that come with pairing our commitment to excellence with the Integra Boost technology," explains Gracewood. "We are pleased to now be able to extend that optimal experience of freshness to all Edison products, even after purchase."

Integra Boost packs comprise a glycerin gel and 2-way membrane to create a patented humidity control technology, either releasing or absorbing moisture as needed to ensure the optimal environment for storing cannabis. Long used to help protect, for example, the freshness of food and pharmaceuticals, the technology maintains relative humidity at 62 per cent in a contained environment. This consistency helps preserve the product's color, taste, structural integrity and weight.

Flower One Holdings Inc. announced its first brand partnership for cannabis product fulfillment in Nevada. Flower One and Rapid Dose Therapeutics Inc. entered into a definitive agreement on January 10, 2019, pursuant to which Flower One has been granted license to manufacture, distribute and sell RDT's QuickStrip™, an innovative, proprietary delivery technology for the cannabis market in Nevada.

Flower One expects to produce and distribute QuickStrip™ for the medical and adult recreational cannabis market in Nevada by Spring 2019. RDT's proprietary QuickStrip™ technology is a Quick, Convenient, Precise, Discreet™ oral fast-dissolving drug delivery system. The QuickStrip™ technology offers consumers a discreet and smoke-free alternative to enjoy cannabis.

"Brand partnerships are a key component to Flower One's growth strategy in the Nevada cannabis market," said Ken Villazor, Flower One's President and CEO. "Our cultivation, processing and custom packaging facilities in Nevada will total more than 480,000 square feet. The scale, technology and automation of our facilities will bring precision, quality and a consistent ability for Flower One to bring RDT's innovative QuickStrip™ delivery technology to Nevada's fast-growing cannabis market."

Nevada is one of the most lucrative cannabis markets in the United States, hosting more than 55 million tourists annually from all over the globe to Las Vegas - an audience of almost 1.5 times greater than the population of Canada. The state reported $529.9 million in sales for all 2018 marijuana sales - that includes recreational, medicinal and cannabis-related products.

"Through our Managed Strip Service (MSS), RDT is focused and committed to providing consumers in the United States cannabis markets a Smoke-Free Choice." said Mark Upsdell, CEO of RDT. "RDT's Gold Vendor Status agreement with Flower One will enable them to sell to all the legal dispensaries in Nevada, under both their own private brand and as a white label program to the other licensed growers in Nevada. Our brand partnership with Flower One further strengthens and positions QuickStrip™ for rapid growth as an international brand and delivery device to cannabis consumers - while delivering health and improving outcomes." Villazor adds, "With QuickStrip™'s discreet and measured dosing, we are well positioned to bring a unique and exciting product offering to Las Vegas and Nevada's tourist-driven cannabis market, and we are thrilled to be adding it to Flower One's portfolio of Brand Partners."

Australis Capital Inc. announced that the Company has invested $3,000,000 USD in Folium Biosciences, the largest vertically integrated producer, manufacturer, and distributor of hemp derived phytocannabinoids in the United States. Folium also owns and operates the largest phytocannabinoid extraction and purification facility in the United States, with plans for a new pharmaceutical division and the completion of their Canadian facility in 2019.

"With the passing of the 2018 Farm Bill and the floodgates opening for this vibrant and exciting industry, we are poised for strong growth this year," said Kashif Shan, CEO of Folium. "As a global industry leader and authority in PCR hemp oil extraction and product development, we welcome Australis' participation in this private placement as we continue to pave the way and dominate the marketplace."

Supplying the market with its own unique 0.0% THC phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil, Folium is a global leader in non-psychoactive cannabinoids. Folium's chromatographic purification process selectively removes the psychoactive component from the phytocannabinoid-rich hemp oil. Folium is certified by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment as a producer of 0.0% THC products, including CBD hemp oil, CBD gel caps, water soluble CBD, Cannabidiol HYDROPCR, CBD e-liquid, CBD concentrates, CBD for pets, CBD salves and balms, CBD tinctures, CBD face masks, and white-label CBD products.

"Our strategic investment in Folium Biosciences provides Australis and our brands access to the leading player in the fast-evolving United States CBD market," said Scott Dowty, CEO of Australis. "Folium's breadth of expertise, spanning production, extraction, branding and commercialization, will greatly benefit Australis as we introduce and expand our CBD product offerings in the United States in the months and years ahead."

Beleave Inc. announced that its wholly-owned subsidiary Beleave Kannabis Corp. has been authorized by Health Canada to sell cannabis oil products effective January 11, 2019. After reviewing the application and supporting documentation, Health Canada granted an amended licence with modified conditions allowing for the sale of cannabis oil under the Cannabis Regulations.

"This license is pivotal to us meeting our goals in 2019, while driving product innovation and augmenting our research and development initiatives," said Roger Ferreira, Ph.D., Beleave's Chief Science Officer. "Oils will continue to make up a larger part of the cannabis market, especially as we ramp up for the regulatory changes coming in 2019. Receiving our sales authorization allows us to provide a wider array of products while providing Beleave with higher margins than dried flower."

Cannvas MedTech Inc., a leading digital cannabis educator and business technology company, and Cannametrics, a collaborative crowd-sourced data science project to classify the effects of cannabis strains and products, announced the signing of definitive joint marketing agreement to explore, in good faith, collaborative opportunities to share insights into data metrics across the Canadian cannabis landscape through their respective Cannvas.Me and Cannametrics.io platforms.

"We are thrilled to be in active talks with Eric and Gina at Cannametrics to discover how our organizations can pool resources to paint a better picture of cannabis consumption across Canada through our accessible and evidence-backed Cannvas.Me cannabis education resource and the innovative Cannametrics platform," said Shawn Moniz, Chief Executive Officer, Cannvas MedTech Inc. "Cannametrics recognizes the value of data and data analysis in surveying cannabis usage among Canadians and we hope to work together to leverage that knowledge with supporting statistics from our Cannvas.Me digital cannabis learning platform to inform the decisions of policymakers, producers and retailers in shaping how cannabis is legislated, distributed and used from coast to coast."

Much like the Cannvas.Me platform strives to inform users of the potential health benefits of cannabis and educate them on whether it fits with their lifestyle, Cannametrics is poised to be an industry disrupter by acknowledging people respond differently to cannabis products and providing personalized recommendations through its advanced machine-learning backend. Developed by Eric Jacobsen, MFC, and Dr. Gina Conte, Ph.D., to address the pressing concern of credibility in the marketplace, Cannametrics' goal is to arm cannabis consumers with a collaborative crowd-sourced tool to track the experiential effects of different cannabis strains and products and streamline their cannabis experience.
