#AI News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) (OTC: $VSBGF) and Photon-X Developing Advanced Thermal Camera Technology

#AI News: VSBLTY (CSE: $VSBY.C) (OTC: $VSBGF) and Photon-X Developing Advanced Thermal Camera Technology

Philadelphia, PA - April 21, 2020 (Investorideas.com Newswire) Further to its new releases on February 20, 2020 and February 26, 2020, VSBLTY Groupe Technologies Corp. (CSE: VSBY) (Frankfurt: 5VS) (OTC: VSBGF) ("VSBLTY") , a leading retail software technology company, and Photon-X, developers of sensor technologies that enable biometric verification, document security, CGI motion imaging and photo mapping, today jointly announced a collaboration to develop advanced camera applications to help screen for persons who may be infected with COVID-19 as they enter buildings.


The two firms are collaborating to develop a multi-sensor camera capability specifically for security and smart buildings applications. Photon-X object recognition and analytics combined with VSBLTY facial recognition will provide an advanced screening tool for facilities to identify and validate that someone with a high temperature is about to enter a building. Fever, cough and difficulty breathing are some of the common symptoms of COVID-19.

The announcement was made by VSBLTY Co-founder & CEO Jay Hutton and Blair Barbour, founder and President/CEO of Photon-X, who said they expected to develop a prototype very quickly as it is simply a matter of integrating existing solutions. The new model will have several advanced features to the typical infrared cameras that are currently being used to measure body surface temperature. The VSBLTY-Photon-X cameras will additionally measure heartbeat and oxygen saturation levels with the goal of helping to produce less false positives than the standard infrared cameras now in use.

Hutton added, "As the world slowly goes back to work, we will all want to be assured that we can do so safely. Thermal detection in venues, buildings, restaurants and public spaces will be an easy detection tool that can augment safety and help prevent further contagion. We have already seen efforts by major retailers, manufacturers and large employers to implement wellness detection at building and factory entrances. This is a safety measure that has long-term value and may well be an essential element in the new economy."

VSBLTY technology provides enhanced customer engagement and audience measurement using machine learning and computer vision. Its industry-leading VisionCaptor™ and DataCaptor™ software combine motion graphics and interactive brand messaging with cutting-edge computer vision measurement and insights. VSBLTY’s AI-driven software, Vector™, provides advanced facial recognition that is crucial to enhancing today’s security requirements when recognizing weapons or suspicious persons in a crowd.

The #AIEye Episode 334: Accenture (NYSE: $ACN) to Acquire AWS (NasdaqGS: $AMZN) Cloud Company Gekko and Nuance (NasdaqGS: $NUAN) Launches DAX Telehealth Solution



The #AIEye Episode 334: Accenture (NYSE: $ACN) to Acquire AWS (NasdaqGS: $AMZN) Cloud Company Gekko and Nuance (NasdaqGS: $NUAN) Launches DAX Telehealth Solution

Global #AI Market to Grow by $75.54 Billion from 2019 to 2023



Point Roberts WA, Vancouver BC – April 20, 2020  – Investorideas.com (www.investorideas.com), a global investor news source covering Artificial Intelligence (AI) brings you today’s edition of  The AI Eye-  watching stock news, deal tracker and advancements in artificial intelligence.

Listen to today’s podcast:



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

Stocks discussed: (NYSE:ACN) (NasdaqGS:AMZN) (NasdaqGS:NUAN) (NasdaqGS:MSFT)

Accenture (NYSE:ACN) has agreed to acquire Gekko, a French Amazon Web Services (AWS) (NasdaqGS:AMZN) cloud services company. Olivier Girard, Accenture’s Geographic Unit managing director for France and Benelux, explained the move:

"Aligned with our development strategy, the acquisition of Gekko would be another significant addition because it would give clients more support for public cloud options. Gekko would also be a major opportunity to accelerate our growth strategy in France. Accenture’s advantage is our ability to keep pace with evolving customer expectations. Our clients call on Accenture to help them innovate and transform their business. Gekko would bring key cloud, AI and DevOps skills and would help us serve a greater and more diverse range of clients in France and the broader European market."

Nuance Communications, Inc. (NasdaqGS:NUAN) announced the launch of the Nuance Dragon Ambient eXperience (DAX) solution for telehealth as a response to “the overwhelming increase in virtual visits sparked by the COVID-19 global pandemic.” According to the press release, the DAX was innovated by Nuance and Microsoft (NasdaqGS:MSFT), and “is built on decades of healthcare experience, in-depth research investments in conversational AI, and enterprise-focused cloud services.” Joe Petro, CTO, Nuance, explained:

"Making it easier to document patient care from virtually anywhere has been our mission for decades, and it's even more important today. We are committed to helping our customers who are literally on the front lines of a global effort to battle a pandemic and care for patients. That means accelerating innovation – with the use of Nuance DAX for telehealth – is essential to meet these demands now and as we eventually reach a new normal."

Global AI Market to Grow by $75.54 Billion from 2019 to 2023

A report from Technavio finds that the global market for AI will grow by $75.54 billion from 2019 to 2023 with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) in excess of 33 percent in the forecast period. An excerpt from the report snapshot outlines some of the key drivers observed in the market:

Al has evolved into an employee support system as it improves communication, completes vital tasks, and deploys health-focused strategies for well-being. Additionally, Al is also replacing workplace surveys and board-room discussions that are used to generate data on human performance across various parameters. Moreover, AI is highly-efficient when compared to manual methods as it is faster, offers customized insights to managers and HR, and helps in monitoring organization-wide performances in real-time.
In addition to the benefits of AI, the rise in cloud-based AI services will also contribute to the growth of the global AI market that will register a CAGR of over 33% during the forecast period. There is an increase in the demand for cloud-based Al products and services as the adoption of Al technologies in the on-premises data center is expensive. This is inducing major public cloud players to leverage their technical expertise to offer different cloud-based Al products and services. Al-powered applications are used in a wide variety of use cases including recommendation engines, pricing optimization, lead generation, chatbots, and supply chain optimization.

Investor Ideas #Potcasts, #Cannabis News and #Stocks on the Move; Episode 401 - Happy 4/20!  (CSE: $BOSS.C) (OTC:BOSQF) (NYSE: $THCX)



Delta, Kelowna, BC, April 20, 2020 (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 podcast edition of  cannabis news and stocks to watch plus insight from thought leaders and experts.

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.

Happy 4/20! Today’s podcast will be just a short filler where we discuss some of this year’s best interviews as well as what to do for 4/20.

Once you’re done listening to us, check out Playboy on Twitter who will be hosting a special Ask Me Anything (AMA) with Andrew De Angel, Rachel Wolfson, Ashley Manta and Dr. Monica Taing today from 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM PT.

The cannabis-focused AMA–the first of its kind for Playboy–will span everything from how you can be involved in the fight for legalization to how cannabis can be used in the bedroom. In honor of the 4/20 holiday, and beginning at 11:00 AM PT to give you plenty of time to get started while still sleeping in, this AMA will be kicked-off with Andrew DeAngelo the co-founder of the Last Prisoner Project and cannabis lifestyle guru Rachel Wolfson (best known as @wolfiecomedy) who will take questions on cannabis policy and culture. Dr. Monica Taing and Ashley Manta (@cannasexual) will continue the conversation on the health and sexual effects of cannabis from 12:00 – 1:00 PM PT
Playboy has pushed the envelope and challenged taboos for over 65 years with an unwavering commitment to freedom in all its forms. As a leader in the first sexual revolution and an active proponent in cannabis rights for more than half a century, Playboy is no stranger to either cannabis or sex

Now there isn’t much in the line of investment news out today and so if you find yourself bored and looking for more content check out some of my favorite interviews from this past year.

First would be my recent interview with Anthony Charles, Co-Founder of Oakum Cannabis Corp. This company is a great example of going above and beyond regulatory standards and a great implementation of today’s current technology and innovation in the cannabis space.



Another favorite was interviewing Chef Joe Sasto who is travelling the US and Canada and bringing you pop-up paired cannabis dining experiences. This interview may give you some inspiration for your 4/20 dinner.


Interviewing Penny White, President and CEO of The Yield Growth Corp, (CSE:BOSS) (OTC:BOSQF) at this year’s Lift and Co Expo 2020 in Vancouver was another treat as not only did she provide great insight on the industry but her company is also one of the few in the cannabis space aggressively looking into the future of mushrooms as well as cannabis.


Lastly someone we’ve had on the podcast several times who has always offered great insight and been a real treat to interview has been Matt Markiewicz, the Managing Director of the Cannabis ETF (NYSE:THCX).

#CryptoCorner: New Hong Kong #Crypto Fund Targets $100M in Total Assets, U.S. Stimulus Cheques May be Going to Crypto and Some Crypto ATMs Experience Traffic Increase




Point Roberts, WA, Delta BC April 20, 2020 -  Investorideas.com, a leader in crypto and blockchain investing news brings you today’s edition of the Crypto Corner podcast and commentary on what’s driving the cryptocurrency market .

Listen to today’s Crypto Corner Podcast:  



Calibra to Create 50 Jobs in Ireland This Year, New Hong Kong Crypto Fund Targets $100M in Total Assets, U.S. Stimulus Cheques May be Going to Crypto and Some Crypto ATMs Experience Traffic Increase

Stocks discussed: (NasdaqGS:FB)

Calibra, the payments subsidiary of Facebook (NasdaqGS:FB), is creating 50 new jobs by the end of this year in Ireland, according to a report from The Irish Times. Calibra, which is tasked with creating the digital wallet for Facebook’s Libra digital currency project, currently has a small presence in the country. Laura Morgan Walsh, the company’s head of operations, explained the move:

“During this time of global uncertainty, we’re continuing to invest in our team located in Dublin. We’re actively hiring experts in fraud, compliance, workforce management and customer care to expand our operations team supporting the Calibra wallet.”

Bloomberg reports that Arrano Capital, the blockchain arm of Hong Kong asset manager Venture Smart Asia Ltd., has met licensing conditions for the Securities and Futures Commission (SFC) to “deal in virtual assets.” According to Arrano Capital’s Chief Investment Officer Avaneesh Acquilla, the firm aims to “surpass $100 million in total assets under management through a fund tracking Bitcoin prices within the first year.” Acquilla said:

“We decided to launch this fund to address market demand from professional investors who are increasingly focused on Bitcoin as an alternative store of value. Ultimately for Bitcoin to be widely accepted and for people to trust it, there needs to be regulation.”

Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong tweeted a graph that seemed to show a spike in purchases and deposits of around $1,200 – which is the amount included in the U.S. government-issued stimulus cheques – last week. About 80 million U.S. citizens are believed to have received such a cheque, and Armstrong’s tweet seems to show that at least some of them are being used to invest in an alternate currency.

CoinDesk reports that some crypto ATMs are claiming an increase in transactions, even while much of the U.S. is under shelter-in-place rulings and discouraged from leaving the home for non-essential business. Marc Grens, co-founder of crypto ATM operator DigitalMint, told CoinDesk in an email:

“Even during a global pandemic, and perhaps more so, Bitcoin and Bitcoin point-of-sale services meet our customers’ essential needs in participating in this next-generation of banking, remittance, and e-commerce.”
