SparkCognition and Milize to Offer Automated Machine Learning Solutions for Financial Institutions to the APAC Region – PRNewswire

Posted on by

AUSTIN, Texas, May 14, 2020 /PRNewswire/ --SparkCognition, a leading industrial artificial intelligence (AI) company, is pleased to announce that Japanese AI and Fintech company, MILIZE Co., Ltd. will offer Japanese financial institutions fraud detection and anti-money laundering solutions. These solutions will be built using the automated machine learning software of SparkCognition.

With the enormous increase of online payment, internet banking, and QR code payments, illegal use of credit cards is on the rise. However, there are not many Japanese companies that have introduced advanced solutions for fraud detection that currently exist internationally. In addition, financial authorities and institutions around the world are expected to report strengthened measures against money laundering in August 2020. As a result, taking these steps against money laundering has become an urgent management issue in Japanese financial institutions.

At one credit card company in South America, the ratio of fraudulent use to the total transactions reached about 20%, which reduced the profitability of the business. Therefore the company introduced a fraudulent transaction detection system that utilizes the AI technology of SparkCognition, which has extensive experience working with financial service clients. Though the credit card company did not have a team of data scientists, due to the ease with which analysts on staff were able to apply SparkCognition technology, accurate machine learning models were developed, tested, and operationalized within a few short weeks. As a result, it is now possible to detect fraudulent transactions with about 90% accuracy, which has led to a significant improvement in the credit card company's profitability.

Based on SparkCognition's international success in fielding machine learning systems in financial services, MILIZE will offer a fraud detection and anti-money laundering solution, built with SparkCognition AI technology, along with consulting services, development and operational assistance to local credit card companies, banks and other financial institutions. By submitting transaction data to a MILIZE-operated cloud service, financial institutions will be able to detect suspicious transactions without making large-scale investments in self-hosted infrastructure.

MILIZE makes full use of quantitative techniques, fintech, AI, and big data, and provides a large number of operational support solutions such as risk management, performance forecast, stock price forecast, and more, to a wide range of financial institutions. SparkCognition is a leading company in the field of artificial intelligence and provides AI solutions to companies and government agencies around the world.

Artificial Intelligence: Technology Of The Future – Forbes India

Posted on by

In the current scenario, COVID-19 doesnt seem to have an end as this virus does not discriminate based on caste and creed. This pandemic situation has brought the world to a standstill and forced the plans of every individual to be rethought in a different dimension altogether concerning the new economic crisis that can be visualized by the experts.

We have always observed how things get outmoded with time and in the case of technology, it is even at a rapid rate. Keeping this theory in mind everyone is afraid about the changes in technology that will take place post the pandemic bringing concern in various fields. The effect is going to be massive and long-lasting, but we need to learn a lot of things with the current situation and be ready for any kind of further circumstances impacting the lives and bringing it to a standstill.

As human beings are learning, machines also need to be more advanced to understand these situations and react early and alert us for the upcoming catastrophes. Artificial Intelligence also termed as self-learning mechanism for the machines needs enormous advancement to make them future-ready. At present, the AI is evident in the areas of Healthcare, Automotive, Cybersecurity, Video games, Military operations etc.

Speaking with Safura Begum, CEO of Inventateq, he mentioned that Artificial Intelligence is going to be the future for all the technologies being developed. Describing in detail on the topic he mentioned cited the role of AI in the healthcare industry. The innovation of technology in the medical field has helped the researchers identify the diverse methods of treatment more rapidly. It has also helped in doing the research work at a faster rate and achieve the results with supreme accuracy than those testing without AI. He seemed to have complete conviction in the Doctors and researchers that the pandemic situation will be controlled soon and everything will get back on track. Further, he mentioned that the healthcare industry that he can visualize today wouldnt have been possible without the intervention of AI in the sector.

Speaking on the advancement of artificial intelligence in the specific sector, he said that there is always a room for the new invention and hopefully in the coming years we will experience the AI in a new way where it will be able to detect the syndrome at a very primary stage, along with the cure and prevention at the first place so that we will never see this kind of situation in the future ever again. He also mentioned about the use of AI to identify the potential threat (the carriers of the virus) of COVID-19 that has been undertaken by Google and Apple by tracking the movements of the infected publics, which is possible with the history of map location, thus it will play an important role in detecting the spread of the virus.

When asked about the loss due to COVID-19, he mentioned his grief and said that education is the key to success and with education and its advancement we can recover the losses except for the life of human beings lost. Taking the conversation to the next level, Safura mentioned that we need to analyze what we need to learn and unlearn at the first place. The time that we lost will not return, so we must prioritize our learning curve and focus on the same. He added that the new requirements that the industry is going to have are very much important and needs to be considered by the individuals before taking up any course.

The current trends are indicating that there will be survival for the fittest, it is very much necessary to analyze our core strength and act accordingly to fit in the market. AI is going to play an important role in the course design and its delivery in the future. As the scenario has changed due to lockdown and there has been a halt in almost all the industry, there is going to be a hunger for education so that the people will try to outcast others in all possible ways. In this scenario, everyone must be very careful while choosing any stream for their education.

Talking about the national level of education and its impact, Safura Begum mentioned that Artificial Intelligence is going to play a very important role in understanding the needs of the students. When there is less time, the important and urgent graph needs to be plotted properly so that everyone gets the benefit. The plotting for the country like India needs to be very much accurate otherwise the consequences can be different.

Tesla : Artificial Intelligence – the .AI domain is on the rise – marketscreener.com

Posted on by

The future lies in Artificial Intelligence (AI). The technology that stands to change the world, promising an unprecedented and prosperous future. AI has long been at the vanguard of a list of emerging technologies, including big data, robotics and IoT (Internet of Things). Many believe that its role as a technological innovator will only improve in the days to come.

In the world of domain names, the extension that is most commonly associated with AI is, no surprise, .AI. It is slowly gaining popularity, which is evident by the online presence of several artificial intelligence companies taking advantage of .ai domain names. So, is .AI here to stay, or just a passing phase to fade away with time?

First, What is AI?

Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a way of programming computers to think, make decisions, and process data without additional input from human users. AI has existed in rudimentary forms for many years, but as the technology improves, many believe that AI that surpasses human intelligence is right around the corner. Such an achievement would be equivalent to milestones like the invention of writing, agriculture, or the industrial revolution. Many futurists predict that by 2050, this technology will provide considerable benefit to our daily lives.

At present, AI is in an interesting state. Like with the introduction of PCs in the early 1980s or the Internet evolution from the early 1990s, artificial intelligence is prevalent and well-known, but not very well understood by the general public. Much of the public perception of AI is thanks to eminent Silicon Valley executives like Elon Musk of Tesla/SpaceX, who has started widespread AI integration and is open about its potential consequences.

With that in mind, the section below describes some real world AI applications:

AI in Banking: The banking sector has been deploying AI at a rapid pace. For example, it incorporated data analytics techniques to reduce illegal transactions. In fact, even outside of banking, AI is one of the best possible security enhancement solutions available to several business sectors, including retail and finances.

AI in Agriculture: Many organizations that deal in automation and robotics have helped farmers find more efficient ways of protecting their crops from weeds. In addition, a Berlin-based agricultural tech start-up called PEAT, has developed an application called Plantix that detects the potential defects and nutrient deficiencies found in the soil through images.

AI in Healthcare: Healthcare facilities and medical care centers often rely on AI to save human lives. For instance, an organization called Cambio HealthCare developed its clinical decision support system that can help prevent strokes in patients while giving the physician a warning that there's a patient at risk of having a heart stroke.

AI in autonomous vehicles: Self-driving cars have been the poster child of the AI industry for quite a long time. The development of autonomous cars will revolutionize the transportation system. The best example would be Tesla's self-driving car, which uses AI for computer vision, image detection, and deep learning. The result is cars which can automatically detect objects and drive around without any human interaction.

AI in Chatbots: Virtual assistants are becoming a regular thing now. Many home appliances can now be controlled by Siri, Cortana, or Alexa, and are gaining popularity because of their easy to use features. Amazon's Echo is perhaps the one of the great examples where words are put into action by Artificial Intelligence. Now, you can tune into your favorite music, set your alarm, or search the internet, all with one voice command.

What is an .AI domain?

.AI is the country-code Top Level Domain (ccTLD) for Anguilla, which is a small British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. However, a massive amount of businesses that have nothing to do with Anguilla have registered .AI domain names. In fact, the .AI domain extension has become so integrated with the world of artificial intelligence that it sometimes seems that it was specifically designed for the industry.

To backtrack a little, the .AI extension was created in 1995. However, it didn't see widespread use until after 2009, when .ai registration was made available to businesses and individuals outside Anguilla. This is where AI companies stepped in to capitalize on the extension.

Currently, .AI domain name extensions are being used by almost every organization dealing in AI, or any other segment of AI-like robotics, deep learning, or machine learning.

Why should I opt for .AI domain?

The .ai domain name is snappy, easy to remember, and at the same time is prompt in showcasing to the world your passion and enthusiasm for innovation. Right now, the best choice for startups and artificial intelligence companies with a view to change the world using technology are at the top of the list of potential buyers for .ai domains.

Why is .ai domain considered as an investment?

Firstly, the price of the .AI domain is generally lower than that of a .COM domain. Furthermore, due to the age and massive popularity of .COM, almost all the good and memorable .COM names are already taken, and even if the right one still exists, it is most likely very expensive or not for sale. Unlike .COM domain names, the .AI domain is relatively "new," so finding a relevant name should be far easier. At this moment, AI domain names are huge in the startup sphere, so registering a domain name for a considerable price now might prove fruitful after a few years. If you want to secure your .AI domain, make sure to do so at an accredited registrar, such as 101domain.

Thoughts about its SEO ranking

Today, when typing the word "AI" in a search engine, users probably don't have the small Caribbean island in their minds. Rather, they are seeking news related to the hot new tech on the block, artificial intelligence. The presence of the .AI domain name extension adds an extra value, fetching a high SEO ranking.

Is this right for me?

The thought of artificial intelligence automatically comes to mind whenever AI is heard, making this domain name ideal for organizations in this highly innovative field. It is most suitable for academics and tech companies who want to present their outstanding and unique ideas and research about AI.

The list below describes services using the .AI domain name for throwing light on their area of functioning.

Service personalization:

Machine learning is an aspect of AI that provides businesses with supreme quality customer care. For example, ebo.ai is paving the path for AI-powered customer care systems, having the ability to assemble customer service data, natural language processing, and machine learning algorithms which continuously goes through a learning process by interacting with customers.

Business operations:

Many aspects of business management, especially aspects that are monotonous or rudimentary, can also be handled by the right AI. This is in reference to proteus.ai, which has helmed the creation of deep learning machinery, which can be used to sort information and documents at a rapid pace with greater accuracy and less error.

Healthcare improvements:

Healthcare-related enterprises like onwardhealth.ai are deploying deep learning technologies for pattern recognition, and are helping medical practitioners and health care specialists monitor and process different types of medical treatment data. Deep learning algorithms are meant to detect the subtle patterns that correspond to disease profiles. Additionally, the healthcare industry is also utilizing deep learning in ways never thought before. This includes primary stage disease detection, finding new medicines, and opening new avenues for repurposing already established and tested drugs for usage on a different disease.

Or

AI in the architecture industry has provoked much debate in recent years - yet it seems like very few of us know exactly what it is or why ithas created this storm of emotions. There are professionals researching AI who know more about the field than I do, but I have hands-on experience using AI and algorithms in my designover the past 10 years through various projects. This is one of the challenges that our field faces. How can we make practical use of these new tools?

Many people have reached out to me claiming that AI could not do their job and that being an architect is so much more than just composing a plan drawing or calculating the volume of a building envelope. They are right. But having said that, there is no reasonnot to be open to the possibility that AIcan help usdesign even better buildings. There are a lot of tasks that are much better solved with computation than manually, and vice versa. In general, if we are able to reduce a problem to numbersor clearly define what we are trying to solve, AI will probably be able to solve it. If weare looking forsubjective opinions or emotions, it might be trickier for an AI to help. Or to be more precise, it might be trickier for us to provide the AI with the right tools to subjectively analyze our designs.

When we talk about AI within the field of architecture it often boils down to optimization. Where can we find more sellable square meters or how can we get more daylight into dark apartments? A bigger building and more windows might be the answer, but what other parameters might be affected by this?

Where there are a lot of parameters at stake that need to be weighed against each other, AI can help us a lot. Millions of scenarios can be evaluated, and the best selected in the same amount of timethat it takes for us to ride the subway to work.Our AI will present us with the ultimate suggestion based on the parameters we provided.

What if we forgot something? As soon as we start to optimize, we have to consider that the result will be no better than the parameters, training sets, and preferences we provided the AI with for solving the task. If we were to ask a thousand different people Whos the better architect, Zaha Hadid or Le Corbusier? we would probably get an even split of answers motivated by a thousand different reasons, since the question is highly subjective. In this case, there is no right or wrong, but if we asked who had designed the highest number of buildings, we could get a correct answer. Even if the answerfrom your AI is the correct one and mathematically optimal, you must consider if the question itself was right.

Your browser does not support the video tag.

Another important part of optimization is the question of how to weigh different features against each other. Is Gross Floor Area (GFA) more important than daylight and if it is, how much more? This is a decision that the architect, the designer of the algorithm, or the client needs to decide. Humans have opinions, a specific taste, preferred style, and so on. AI does not.

Optimizing for maximum gross floor area in parallel witha daylight analysis will give you a certain result, but it might not be the same thing as designing a great building. Yet on the flip side, not being able to meet the clients expectations for GFA or not being able to make an apartment inhabitable due to lack of light might result in no building at all.

AI presentsmany new opportunities for our profession, and I believe that the architect is harder to replace with AI than many other professions due to our job's subjective nature. The decisions we make to create great buildings often depend on opinions, and as a result there is no right or wrong. But I also believe that there are a lot of things we can improve on. We do not have to go as far as using AI: in many cases, we would benefit a lot from simple automation. There are many manual tasks performed by architects at the moment that has to be done to realize a project but do not add any value for the final product. If AI or automation can help us with these tasks, we can spend more time doing what we do best - which is designing great architecture, adding value to project inhabitants and our cities more widely.

The First Amendment To the Constitution of The United States of America – The Suburban Times

Posted on by

Submitted by William Elder.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances, wrote James Madison.

Strong clear words. Words often twisted to serve one political cause or another. These days it is the vociferous far right of the Republican Party, often religious conservatives. Religion, even their Protestant evangelical version of it, is alive and well in todays America, no fear except fear itself, as one President put it

Less clear is the jumbling together of freedom of speech, press, or the right of the people peaceably to assemble. Each could have used its own separate mention, clarification.

The press, reporting as best it can against the administrations all-out attempts to control, silence, or distort its factual examination of our shortcomings, is grappling with the right wings antipathy to fact itself, the truth regarding its failures and misgovernance, the gross incompetence of its leaders, especially top down.

The freedom of speech part, so bantered about by every side of every argument, forgets one key and vital right implied therein, though not implicitly stated: That implied right is: For your speech, however heartfelt, has the concomitant right to be ignored by all thoughtful men and women: We hear you; we understand; we choose to ignore your comments; we thank you! Next!

Petition(ing) the Government for a redress of grievances good or ill, substantive or frivolous if they were shingles they would keep us all dry for a thousand years, with a money-back guarantee for five hundred more! No Constitutional worry there.

This First Amendment is but one of the strong pillars driven into our political landscape by our Founders, not at the time of their Constitutional deliberations but forced upon them, as a required afterthought, an extended measure of not merely our structure of governance, but our invite to humanity come participate equally in it.

Divorcing couples have First Amendment right to disparage each other on social media, SJC rules – The Boston Globe

Posted on by

Divorcing couples have a First Amendment right to disparage each other on social media even if probate judges are worried the bitterness will impact the mental health of children caught between their warring parents, the states highest court has ruled.

In a unanimous ruling, the Supreme Judicial Court said free speech rights were wrongly curtailed by a non-disparagement order forbidding the husband or wife from posting about the divorce on Facebook and other social media sites until their child turned 14. At the time the order was issued, the child was a toddler, the SJC said.

We conclude that the nondisparagement orders at issue here operate as an impermissible prior restraint on speech, the SJC ruled. The judge put careful thought into his orders in an effort to protect a child caught in the middle of a legal dispute who was unable to advocate for himself[but since] there was no showing of an exceptional circumstance that would justify the imposition of a prior restraint, the nondisparagement orders issued here are unconstitutional.

The social media ban was crafted by two Norfolk Probate and Family Court judges arising from the divorce between Ronnie Shakand his former wife, Masha M. Shak, who had one son born in 2017 during their 15-month marriage, records show.

In 2018, Ronnie Shak made multiple Facebook postings accessed by members of the former couples synagogue, Masha Shaks relatives, and a Facebook group with more than 700 members. The postings accused Masha Shak of wrongly blocking Ronnie Shak from seeing their son, leading Probate and Family Court Judge Virginia Ward to issue a two-paragraph order that banned both from posting any comments, solicitations,solicitations, references or other information regarding this litigation on social media."

Misha Shak sought a contempt citation when Ronnie Shak posted on Facebook after Wards order. Judge George Phelan then took up the matter and issued an 11-page order banning social media postings until the couples son turned 14. Phelan also put the ban on hold so the SJC could review the constitutionality of his decision, which he said he believed was necessary but raised significant legal issues that the top state court must address.

In a 13-page ruling written by Justice Kimberly S. Budd, the SJC said government has very limited authority to stop someone from publicly expressing their views under the First Amendment and Article 16 of the states constitution. Prior restraint is acceptable when harm is immediate and cannot be prevented by any means other than suppressing the free speech rights, the court noted.

But there was no evidence in this case, the court said in the decision issued Thursday.

The potential impact on a childs mental health at some point in the future does not meet that high legal threshold, especially in this case where the child cannot on his own access social media and when no information has been produced showing a current link between Facebook postings and proof of an emotional harm to the child, the court noted.

Budd added: As important as it is to protect a child from the emotional and psychological harm that might follow from one parents use of vulgar or disparaging words about the other, merely reciting that interest is not enough to satisfy the heavy burden of justifying a prior restraint."

The court noted that probate judges - and litigants - may be able to curtail social media postings under other laws, by reaching a mutually agreed upon non-disparagement order, or by civil lawsuits for emotional harm. Judges can also caution the parents their social media postings will impact custody decisions, the SJC said.

But none of the laws are even necessary, the court noted, if the parents recognize whats most important during divorce litigation - their children.

"The best solution would be for parties in divorce and child custody matters to rise above any acrimonious feelings they may have, and, with the well-being of their children paramount in their minds, simply refrain from making disparaging remarks about one another,'' the SJC said.

Exposing Russian information operations does not violate the First Amendment | TheHill – The Hill

Posted on by

Would mandating public exposure of Russian hostile information operations in the United States violate the Constitutions First Amendment guarantee of free speech? At first glance, the question seems absurd how would the Bill of Rights protect Russian intelligence and propaganda operations?

But the issue arises because Russian messages aimed at American audiences may include comments from American sources, raising concerns that exposure would imply that the original authors of the content are part of a Russian disinformation campaign.

This could have a chilling effect on the original American authors right to free speech. They might be branded as fellow travelers a derogatory label from the Cold War or at the very least, useful idiots a term sometimes attributed to Lenin to describe nave individuals who were susceptible to Communist propaganda.

Neither label applies here. Unlike the early days of the Russian Revolution or Cold War era, todays Russian propagandists are not seeking to advance Communist ideology, but rather are intended to weaken its perceived foes. The American authors they cite are not advancing or defending Russian causes.

Russias hostile information operations are continuous and extend to a broad range of domestic issues. Russia aims to create confusion, foment distrust of all institutions, and deepen discord on just about every contentious topic, including national debates on race, immigration, policing gun control, and other issues. Russian efforts seek to amplify extreme positions, often magnifying dissonance and aggravating divisions by promoting the polar expressions of both sides of the issue. This is where domestic content is used.

The First Amendment issue recently came up in continuing discussions among participants in a workshop on Russias Weapons of Mass Deception that examined the threat of hostile Russian information operations and possible countermeasures. This was not new territory for them.

Most had long firsthand experience in this area. They had served in the White House, the State Department, United States Information Agency, the Pentagon, the CIA, the FBI, Voice of America and Radio Free Europe, as well as independent research centers under both Republican and Democratic administrations. They pointed out that the United States has a long history of countering Soviet and Russian disinformation, propaganda, and other influence operations targeting the West.

Among the options discussed, one of the most useful and least controversial countermeasures to Russian influence operations is public exposure. The public has a right to know what the Russians are doing, how they are doing it, and the scale of their activities. Current efforts contribute to awareness of Russian information operations but do not ensure public disclosure.

Exposure is not censorship. It does not prevent or regulate speech. It could be achieved by legally requiring self-disclosure, by mandating government exposure of foreign information operations, or by a combination of the two mandatory self-disclosure of Russian efforts and exposure of those Russian actors who do not comply.

Ample precedents exist for mandating transparency and limiting foreign interference. Persons and organizations operating in the United States on behalf of foreign governments must register as foreign agents. This law was passed in 1938 to preclude censorship.

The constitutional guarantee of free speech is generally considered also to include the right of Americans to receive speech from foreign speakers, including hostile governments. Imposing a disclosure requirement does not prevent this; it enables the public to evaluate the material better.

Other examples of the disclosure include campaign financing, the sponsors of political ads, and the routine voluntary practice by newspapers to label sponsored inserts that are paid for by foreign governments.

The United States rarely shuts down foreign news broadcasting in this country, even though the broadcasts may offer alternate viewpoints or criticism of U.S. policies.

However, the U.S. government has required RT and Sputnik, which are funded by the Russian government, and CGTN, which is funded by the government of China to register as foreign agents. This is not because of foreign-government funding, but because of a judgment that, unlike the BBC and the other foreign broadcasters, these three are responsive to current foreign-government policy goals. They are not independent.

This does not mean they cannot operate in the United States. Indeed, a Midwest radio broadcaster transmits Sputnik news daily. They must identify themselves.

While discussants were comfortable with the government exposing foreign information campaigns, they did not want to see exposure become a means of belittling or vilifying Americans whose content might be repeated in part or in whole, correctly or out of context, by Russian operators. Close oversight of any effort could be required to ensure that selective exposure is not abused to support political agendas. All of the respondents are mindful of the current partisan environment.

The lack of any effective American response could encourage Russia as well as other adversaries of the United States to continue or escalate their campaigns. Exposing Russian activities is a matter of policy and politics, not the Constitution or the law.

First Amendment concerns are important, but they do not protect hostile information campaigns by foreign actors, nor are they a legal excuse for inaction by the United States.

The Price of the First Amendment "Is That We Must Put Up With a Good Deal of Rubbish" – Reason

Posted on by

I was rereading one of my favorite opinionsJustice Jackson's dissent in U.S. v. Ballard (1944)and I thought I'd pass it along. The defendants were convicted for using the mails to defraud people into joining (for money) the "I Am" movement. The alleged false claims were,

that Guy W. Ballard, now deceased, alias Saint Germain, Jesus, [and] George Washington, had been selected as a divine messenger; and that the words of the alleged divine entity, Saint Germain, would be transmitted to mankind through the medium of Guy W. Ballard;

that [the Ballards], by reason of their alleged high spiritual attainments and righteous conduct, had been selected as divine messengers through which the words of Saint Germain[] would be communicated to mankind under the teachings commonly known as the "I Am" movement;

that [the Ballards] had, by reason of supernatural attainments, the power to heal persons of [incurable] diseases , and had in fact cured hundreds of persons .

The court concluded that it was permissible to convict the (surviving) Ballards based on a showing that they didn't sincerely believe what they were saying, though the jury couldn't consider the truth or falsehood of what they were saying. Justice Jackson dissented:

I should say the defendants have done just that for which they are indicted. If I might agree to their conviction without creating a precedent, I cheerfully would do so. I can see in their teachings nothing but humbug, untainted by any trace of truth. But that does not dispose of the constitutional question whether misrepresentation of religious experience or belief is prosecutable; it rather emphasizes the danger of such prosecutions.

In the first place, as a matter of either practice or philosophy I do not see how we can separate an issue as to what is believed from considerations as to what is believable. The most convincing proof that one believes his statements is to show that they have been true in his experience. Likewise, that one knowingly falsified is best proved by showing that what he said happened never did happen.

How can the Government prove these persons knew something to be false which it cannot prove to be false? If we try religious sincerity severed from religious verity, we isolate the dispute from the very considerations which in common experience provide its most reliable answer.

In the second place, any inquiry into intellectual honesty in religion raises profound psychological problems. [I]t is not theology and ceremonies which keep religion going. Its vitality is in the religious experiences of many people [:] " conversations with the unseen, voices and visions, responses to prayer, changes of heart, deliverances from fear, inflowings of help, assurances of support, whenever certain persons set their own internal attitude in certain appropriate ways."

If religious liberty includes, as it must, the right to communicate such experiences to others, it seems to me an impossible task for juries to separate fancied ones from real ones, dreams from happenings, and hallucinations from true clairvoyance. Such experiences, like some tones and colors, have existence for one, but none at all for another. They cannot be verified to the minds of those whose field of consciousness does not include religious insight. When one comes to trial which turns on any aspect of religious belief or representation, unbelievers among his judges are likely not to understand and are almost certain not to believe him.

And then I do not know what degree of skepticism or disbelief in a religious representation amounts to actionable fraud. Belief in what one may demonstrate to the senses is not faith. All schools of religious thought make enormous assumptions, generally on the basis of revelations authenticated by some sign or miracle. The appeal in such matters is to a very different plane of credulity than is invoked by representations of secular fact in commerce.

Some who profess belief in the Bible read literally what others read as allegory or metaphor, as they read Aesop's fables. Religious symbolism is even used by some with the same mental reservations one has in teaching of Santa Claus or Uncle Sam or Easter bunnies or dispassionate judges. It is hard in matters so mystical to say how literally one is bound to believe the doctrine he teaches and even more difficult to say how far it is reliance upon a teacher's literal belief which induces followers to give him money.

If the members of the ["I Am"] sect get comfort from the celestial guidance of their "Saint Germain," however doubtful it seems to me, it is hard to say that they do not get what they pay for. Scores of sects flourish in this country by teaching what to me are queer notions. It is plain that there is wide variety in American religious taste. The Ballards are not alone in catering to it with a pretty dubious product.

The chief wrong which false prophets do to their following is not financial. The collections aggregate a tempting total, but individual payments are not ruinous. I doubt if the vigilance of the law is equal to making money stick by over-credulous people.

But the real harm is on the mental and spiritual plane. There are those who hunger and thirst after higher values which they feel wanting in their humdrum lives. They live in mental confusion or moral anarchy and seek vaguely for truth and beauty and moral support. When they are deluded and then disillusioned, cynicism and confusion follow.

The wrong of these things, as I see it, is not in the money the victims part with half so much as in the mental and spiritual poison they get. But that is precisely the thing the Constitution put beyond the reach of the prosecutor, for the price of freedom of religion or of speech or of the press is that we must put up with, and even pay for, a good deal of rubbish.

I do not doubt that religious leaders may be convicted of fraud for making false representations on matters other than faith or experience, as for example if one represents that funds are being used to construct a church when in fact they are being used for personal purposes. But that is not this case, which reaches into wholly dangerous ground.

When does less than full belief in a professed credo become actionable fraud if one is soliciting gifts or legacies? Such inquiries may discomfort orthodox as well as unconventional religious teachers, for even the most regular of them are sometimes accused of taking their orthodoxy with a grain of salt. I would dismiss the indictment and have done with this business of judicially examining other people's faiths.

What words make up a true threat? Well, that depends – The Mercury

Posted on by

As the COVID-19 crisis stretches on, were seeing more conflict, more protests and particularly more online rancor in the debate over how and if public officials should open up society or government restraints on gatherings, from bowling leagues and bars to religious services and retail stores.

The First Amendments protection for free speech covers most of what we may say, whether its impolite, insulting, biased or uplifting, even commentary or forcefully expressed opinions that most of us would find repulsive or repugnant.

But one area not protected as free speech is called a true threat, words that cause a person to fear for their safety or life. In a crisis, we may find things we say are taken in a different context by police, prosecutors and juries than at other, less stressful times.

Unfortunately for those trying to measure their own remarks, setting out a precise definition for what constitutes a true threat has flummoxed even the U.S. Supreme Court. The result is a division of opinion in federal and state courts across the country.

Toss in the new machinations of social media, which remove the element of face-to-face confrontation, but also provide a degree of anonymity and lack of restraints and the lines dividing protected and unprotected speech blur even more.

Speech threatening bodily harm made to a specific person standing in front of you while you have a weapon for example, holding a knife and saying I have a knife and Im going to cut your throat leaves little doubt that its a true threat.

But what if the person at whom those same words are directed isnt nearby when the remark is made, but sees it hours or days later on social media? What if the speaker sets the words to music, posts the statement as part of a YouTube video and later claims it was just a form of anger control therapy even if the intended target (think you or me) took the threat seriously?

For many years, evidence that a statement could be judged as putting any reasonable person in fear was enough to support a conviction in many courts. But in 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Elonis v. United States, focused on the intent of the person making the statement, effectively saying that consideration was important and perhaps essential when deciding if the speaker was indeed issuing a true threat.

But the high court didnt set out any means of measuring intent, leaving things hanging. Two years later, Justice Sonia Sotomayor wrote, in Perez v. Florida, where the court refused to reconsider the conviction of a man who threatened to blow up a liquor store, that while states must prove more than mere utterance of threatening words, some level of intent is required (and) the Court should also decide precisely what level of intent suffices under the First Amendment, noting that did not happen in Elonis.

All of that leaves many of us subject to state laws that dont include a requirement to consider what we might mean when we say it, just how a reasonable person would feel about our words. Got enough money or time to get to the Supreme Court? Such a conviction would seem likely to be thrown out.

Not the bright line between right and wrong that we should expect to see when it comes to criminal prosecutions.

Case in point: According to Kentuckys Lexington Herald Leader, Louisville lawyer James Gregory Troutman, 53, was charged April 22 with terroristic threatening for two Facebook posts directed at Gov. Andy Beshear.

Maybe some should ask Beshear in a press conference about his thoughts on William Goebel, Troutman was reported by police to have said in a post, For those of you who dont know the history its a good read. Goebel, shot to death in 1900, in is the only serving U.S. governor ever assassinated.

Police said Troutman also later posted, in a Facebook exchange about Beshear ordering photos to be taken of license plates of churchgoers flouting social distancing orders, With any luck the gov will be the one at whom the shooting will be directed.

Police said Troutman was threatening to commit a crime likely to result in death or serious physical injury to the Kentucky governor. But Troutmans lawyer said the man didnt say he was going to kill him.

If you were sitting on a jury considering the charges against Troutman, a 1969 Supreme Court decision in Watts v. United States might help you decide. In that Vietnam War-era case, a protester was charged with threatening President Lyndon Johnson for telling a rally that if they ever make me carry a rifle, the first man I want to get in my sights is LBJ.

The court later decided that Watts had engaged in a crude form of political hyperbole rather than utter a true threat. The justices identified what later came to be known as the Watts factors: The context in which the words were spoken, the reaction of those who heard the remarks and the certainty of the remarks.

They noted that Watts made his statements during a political rally, that those who overheard his remarks laughed and his statement was conditional rather than definitive.

Still today, some lower courts use the Watts factors to determine whether speech crosses the line into the realm of true threats, Freedom Forum First Amendment Fellow David Hudson notes.

Another kind of hyperbole: Wishing that a meteor will fall from the sky and injure or kill a certain person may well be what most of us would find hateful and morally wrong, but its safely protected under the First Amendment.

On the other hand, the Supreme Court found in 2003, in Virginia v. Black perhaps its most direct ruling about true threat that the state of Virginia could prosecute people for cross burning intended to intimidate or instill fear in others. Dissenting voices said cross burning is always unprotected speech since it can have no effect other than intimidating others, but the courts majority did not agree. Again, the intent of the speaker, as in Elonis, rather than the meaning to those receiving the message, was held most significant.

The justices did offer this definition: True threats are those statements where the speaker means to communicate a serious expression of an intent to commit an act of unlawful violence to a particular individual or group.

Adding to the conflicted legal views over true threats was the 2019 refusal by the justices to consider an appeal by Jamal Knox, a Pittsburgh rap music artist convicted over lyrics in a song Fuck the Police, recorded in 2012 while facing weapon and drug charges. The song named arresting officers and included lyrics saying, Lets kill these cops cuz they dont do us no good / pullin out your Glock out cause I live in the hood and Ima jam this rusty knife all in his guts and chop his feet your shift over at 3 and Im gonna fuck up where you sleep.

Critics of Knoxs conviction note that other more widely recognized artists have used similar statements in their music without prosecution and that local courts generally dont understand the role of rap music in urban culture.

Officials cited Knoxs specific identification of the officers and in 2018 the Pennsylvania Supreme Court said his lyrics were threats, not political, social or academic commentary, nor are they facially satirical or ironic.

From armed protestors confronting state police officers in the Michigan capitol building to armed revelers at a Texas bar arrested in a SWAT raid, from angry crowds outside a number of gubernatorial residences to violent words on social media, the potential for threating actions and actual violence today is higher than ever.

So how to judge whether your words, expressive conduct (such as marching with signs or weapons) or violent social media posts are protected speech?

Colleagues at the Freedom Forums education unit provide a lesson plan for free to help you navigate those First Amendment true threat waters: In You Cant Say That?! you will learn about restrictions to freedom of speech in public life and the court cases that determined when and why those limits apply.

Bottom line: In the U.S., the First Amendment certainly protects your right to speak. But theres no absolute protection from the effects of what you say particularly when those words may put a specific person in fear of injury or death.

Need to monitor Chinas role in Indian ecosystem – The Tribune India

Posted on by

Sushma Ramachandran

Senior Financial Journalist

Every crisis has its silver lining. In Indias case, the Covid pandemic is likely to have several positive outcomes. One will be the upgrading of the creaky infrastructure in healthcare that has for decades lagged behind not just developed countries, but also other emerging economies. The second is the evolution of policies that could benefit the previously invisible migrant workers who fortunately are suddenly at the forefront of our consciousness. And the last is probably going to be a much greater sensitivity and awareness about the insidious entry of Chinese investors into large segments of the economy, especially the sunrise sectors. And this, in turn, could ensure that some barriers are raised to make sure that the Indian ecosystem is given adequate protection.

A first step was taken when the government issued a notification ensuring that foreign direct investment from China will not be allowed through the automatic route and will need specific approvals. Judging by media reports, a similar roadblock may be placed for foreign portfolio investments to ensure that Chinese entities do not go for this option to avoid seeking government approvals. Currently, the share prices of many corporates have fallen and there could potentially be attempts to take over some institutions. The question, of course, is whether such safeguards are really needed or is it merely a case of conspiracy theorists working overtime without any basis. It could be that there is an ultra sensitivity to China due to the animosity for that country engendered by the Covid-19 virus that has created havoc worldwide. To some extent, this is probably true.

At the same time, there are areas of concern such as the recent hike in investment from 0.8 to 1.01 per cent stake by the Peoples Bank of China in HDFC, the promoter of HDFC Bank. By itself, this should not have warranted much comment. But it did ring alarm bells, given the situation all over the world where Chinese companies have been investing aggressively in recent times.

To get a better sense of the scenario, one needs to review the entire gamut of Chinas investments in India and related issues. The first relates to inter-linkages with China in many sectors which created serious supply chain problems in the early days of the pandemic. The supply crisis was even more acute in nations that have closer supply chain ties with that country. A bit of decoupling is thus inevitable and essential to prevent economic distress in future for the Indian industry.

Secondly, fears have been rising about the increasing appetite of Chinese investors for acquiring controlling stakes in companies all over the world. So, Indias decision to put curbs on FDI flows from China is in line with the global trends. Spain, Germany, Italy, Australia and Japan are among the countries that have already clamped down on such investments, having clearly recognised that there is a potential threat.

As for Chinas presence here, data with industry chamber CII shows that it has invested $27 billion into this country over the past 13 years covering a wide range of industries, from auto components to consumer electronics. It is estimated that about 800 Chinese companies are registered here, though much less actually have manufacturing facilities. It is in the start-up sector, however, that China has the biggest role, with venture capital from that country supporting some of the most well-known Indian unicorns, including Paytm, Ola, Big Basket, Byjus and Swiggy, to name a few.

In this context, a recent study on Chinese investments in India by the think tank, Gateway House, is illuminating. It says 18 out of Indias 30 unicorns are funded by Chinese internet giants like Alibaba, Tencent, Fuson and Didi Chuxing. The rapid rise of Chinese investments in the Indian start-up space is corroborated by Tracxn, a global start-up tracking agency which estimates that these grew from $668 million in 2016 to $5.6 billion in 2018. This is a remarkable spurt over just a two-year period.

The Gateway House study also points out that the actual quantum of foreign direct investment by China is not very high, but is in high-tech areas that could have a serious impact on issues such as data control and privacy. Given that most large Chinese companies have their own ecosystems such as online markets and payment gateways, it argues that they could advise the start-up venture to use the pre-existing Chinese solutions for its tech requirements. This, in turn, could lead to loss of control over data and create privacy issues for Indians using these apps.

In other words, the threat posed by China to the Indian economy is not just a figment of imagination. It does not mean that existing trade and economic ties should be pared down. But it does mean that a more nuanced and watchful approach needs to be taken for both Chinese investments and trade. On the FDI side, it is not one of the bigger players as the total investment is reported to have touched $8 billion. However, it has entered into strategic and sensitive areas like artificial intelligence and the internet of things. Investments are also being made through companies based in Singapore, which technically are not considered Chinese investments. It is, thus, imperative to keep a close eye on such indirect inflows.

Similarly, bilateral trade needs to be placed under greater scrutiny. Several anti-dumping cases have already been lodged with the World Trade Organisation (WTO), though more aggressive measures need to be taken as overly cheap products are being supplied in many sectors. Quality issues also need to be red-flagged, given the recent controversy over PPE kits supplied to many countries as well as the reported ineffectiveness of antibody tests sent to this country.

Thus, it is clear that the role of China in the Indian ecosystem needs to be monitored on a regular basis. Like with any other country, India needs to ensure that the bilateral relationship is not skewed in favour of the other side. A little more caution is the need of the hour.

Sharp and the 8K Ecosystem – Display Daily

Posted on by

On May 11, Sharp USA had a webinar on 8K titled Beyond 4K: Exploring Sharp's 8K Ecosystem. Since Sharp has said it will not be a US television supplier, the webinar focused on professional use of 8K technology. Presenters were Cliff Quiroga, VP New Business Development, and Saundra Merollo, Senior Sales Engineer, with Manny Cuza, Regional Account Manager - Pro AV, acting as host and moderator.

Partners in the 8K Ecosystem (Credit: Sharp)

Sharp makes 8K camcorders and 8K displays, but not the intermediate products needed to form a complete ecosystem. These products are supplied by Sharps Star Partners, not by Sharp itself.

Sharps 8C-B60A 8K Camcorder. (Credit: Sharp)

Sharp currently sells one 8K camera and has announced a second. The first, the Sharp 8C-B60A, was announced in November 2017 and is currently available in Japan or by special order in the US. It was priced at 8,800,000 without the PL-mount lens, about $77,000 at the 2017 exchange rate. This camera will do 8K (76804320, actually UHD-2) at a 60p frame rate with 4:2:2 compression and 10 bits. Not surprisingly, since the camera was developed with NHK, the native OETF (gamma) curve is HLG, not PQ. The camera uses the Grass Valley HQX Codec and will record 40 minutes of video content using a 2T SSD. According to Quiroga, this camera was developed specifically so NHK could broadcast the 2020 (now 2021) Olympics in 8K.

The second camera was first discussed at CES 2019 but is not yet available. According to Quiroga, it will be available in Japan in Q3 2020 and in the US in Q4. The price will be less than $4000. Complete data is not available on the camera but Quiroga gave the above table, which is more information on the camera than Ive seen other places. The camera will record 8K (7680 x 4320) or true 4K (4096 x 2160) at 30fps. It will also record UHD or 1080p at 60fps. In one way, the 30fps limit for 8K is surprising: Sharp gives a convincing demo (if you need convincing) on its 8K TV website that 30fps is not enough for 8K content. In another sense, the 30fps limit is not surprising: the high-speed electronics to do 8K 60fps or, heaven forbid, 8K 120fps can hardly be built into a $4000 camera, at least not today. The camera takes a Micro Four Thirds lens, not included in the $4000, but these lenses are available from a variety of vendors, including Panasonic, Olympus and Sigma.

Sharp 8M-B80AX1U 8K, HDR, WCG and HFR professional display. (Credit: Sharp)

These two cameras are at one end of the 8K ecosystem chain and 8K displays are at the other end. They discussed two professional 8K displays from Sharp in the webinar, the 80 8M-B80AX1U and the 70 8M-B70AU. Sharp also makes a smaller 8K display for the consumer market, the 60 Aquos 8T-C60AX1X, but that was not discussed. To a certain extent, this failure to build a 60 professional 8K display emphasizes that 8K is really only for big screens where viewers are close to the screen and makes little sense in displays as small as 60.

As Ken Werner discussed in a Display Daily almost a year ago, 8K is more than just more pixels. To make sense, it must be High Dynamic Range (HDR), Wide Color Gamut (WCG) and, preferably, High Frame Rate (HFR). The 80 display is all three of these with 4000 nits peak brightness, Rec. 2020 colorimetry and 120Hz frame rate. According to Sharp, these displays both have one thing that will be key for practical use of 8K displays: Super high-quality [FHD and 4K to] 8K upscaling. These displays arent particularly new. For example, the 70 version won a number of Best in Show awards in 2018.

Live streaming of 8K images over a 5G network in 2019 (Credit: Sharp)

Between the camera and the display, Sharp and its partners have demonstrated end-to-end 8K signal chains with various configurations for an assortment of markets. For example, the image above shows the configuration used for live, 8K streaming of the Roland-Garros French Tennis Open in May and June, 2019.

8K live streaming from drone to check infrastructure (Credit: Sharp)

Sharp and its partners were the first to broadcast 8K live streaming from a drone in November 2019. The drone carried one of the soon-to-be-released B30 8K cameras, so the streaming must have been done at 30fps. Presumably, this camera was used due to the weight restrictions of the drone would not allow it to carry the larger 8C-B60A 8K camcorder. The signal was streamed using local 5G technology, which presumably means 5G mmWave point-to-point technology that does not access the 5G cellular network. While this demo was discussed at CES 2020 in terms of infrastructure inspection, as shown in the image, what the demo actually did was stream live 8K images of a thoroughbred race horse training sessions to horses owners around the world.

In many ways, 8K is not really a consumer distribution format, partly because of its cost, partly because of the bandwidth required and partly because a consumer, even one with an 8K display, cant really see the difference between 4K and 8K in most cases. One thing acquisition with 8K cameras does allow is pan, scan and digital zoom to full-resolution FHD or UHD images without adjusting the camera position or the zoom of the lens. In the race horse training example, multiple horses were running together. One owner in Ireland could focus on his horse while another owner in Argentina could focus on a different horse and they would both still see high resolution images.

Another example given in the webinar was using one 8K camera on a newscast set. The 8K image would include both of the newscasters on the set. The 8K image could then be decimated to FHD or 4K to give the whole set, or a full resolution image of either newscaster could be generated. Thus, one 8K camera would replace three FHD or 4K cameras, and their operators. If desired, a digital zoom from the whole set onto just one of the newscasters could be done electronically, without the camera operator needing to do anything.

An infrastructure inspection topic discussed at CES was the inspection of sewers by a single 8K camera mounted on a robot that could crawl through the sewer. If the inspector saw anything suspicious, he could digitally zoom in on the potential problem and still get a very high-resolution image, eliminating the need for a pan and tilt mechanism on the robot or a zoom lens on the camera.

Other professional applications suggested by Quiroga and Merollo include digital signage, where viewers can approach the display closely; sports arenas, including VIP suites; telemedicine, including both surgery and education; and museums where people could see close up images and the undersides of artifacts that are too valuable for people to handle. While 8K resolution as a consumer distribution format faces a cloudy future, 8K acquisition and streaming has professional applications, including acquisition of consumer content to be streamed for broadcast at lower resolution, that pretty much guarantee its success.

Huawei Partners With Carmakers to Build 5G-Enabled Automobile Ecosystem – Caixin Global

Posted on by

Chinese tech giant Huawei has established an alliance with a handful of automakers and ride-hailing service providers to build a 5G-enabled automobile ecosystem in a move to accelerate the uptake of 5G technology in smart cars, according to a company statement.

The move is yet another sign of Huaweis determination to get into the self-driving car business at the same time as Washington has tried to isolate the company by limiting the use of its equipment in 5G networks due to security concerns and encouraging other countries to follow suit.

As part of the 5G-enabled automobile ecosystem, Huawei will provide members, including FAW Group, BYD, T3 Mobility and other carmakers, with technologies which they can use to test their 5G-enabled vehicles, the statement said.

With advantages in transmission speed, reliability and latency, 5G technology is considered essential for enhancing connected vehicles self-driving and entertainment capabilities.

In 2019, Huawei launched its first 5G communications hardware, named the MH5000 module, which the company claimed would make intelligent car transportation a reality and aid its plans to commercialize 5G network technology for the automotive sector.

Huawei is also building an open intelligent-driving platform to study app interface, car controlling systems, smart cockpits and the internet of vehicles.

Key drivers changing the banking ecosystem landscape – FinTech Magazine – The FinTech & InsurTech Platform

Posted on by

Digital technologies have changed the banking landscape. In order to remain competitive, financial institutions are turning to 'banking ecosystems'.

These, according to consulting firms such as Accenture and Deloitte, these multiply customer interactions to transform them into hyper-relevant and personalised experiences.

According to Accenture, for example,88% of banks believethat ecosystems will be an important way to interact with customers in the future, while89% see customer-facing ecosystems as the main driver of future value.

Banks that offer these integrated, contextualised experiences go beyond traditional financial needs and meet broader customer needs. They support their customers, becoming hyper relevant in their customers everyday life, statesAccenture, for example.

In a recent article in FinTech magazine, we explored the development of banking ecosystems, the technology driving them and best practice for thriving in such an environment.

You can read the full article here. However, here we take a closer look at the key drivers that are influencing banking ecosystem development.

Customer experience is now a priority for all financial services institutions. As well as driving product innovation, it is also influencing the development of complex ecosystems. Microsoft, for example, in our article suggests that millennials are now decidedly more entrepreneurial in mindset than any previous generation".

The result of this, it states, is that they want to be in control of their own finances and are far more willing to embrace a self service model.

Customers too are now seeking a more bespoke, personalised experience. This means a move away from traditionally accepted methods of banking or managing finances to mixing plug and play solutions relevant to the specific requirement.

Mastering data and leveraging breakthroughs in technology such as cloud platforms, analytical capabilities, and augmented intelligence, can create levels of customer engagement and operational efficiency that were unimaginable before.

This approach is driving banking ecosystems. Using information in meaningful and straightforward ways has become the new standard in this digital era. But first, internal and external data must be aggregated, integrated, and made available to the right person at the right time via the right channel, says Microsoft.

"Operating such an ecosystem requires sophisticated marketing and analytical capabilities to aggregate multiple data sources - leveraging external data as well as internal data - and extract actionable insights, which can then be translated into personalised commercial promotions in a timely manner through the most appropriate channel for each customer, adds Accenture.

Namely, fintechs, startups, neo and challenger banks and more. The financial services landscape is no longer dominated by incumbents as new market entrants, as well as Big Tech companies like Facebook, PayPal and Apple create greater competition.

In order to remain competitive, launching ecosystems in industries characterised by the presence of large incumbent players may help ensure that new offerings rapidly reach a wider share of customers.

"As such, banks operating in countries with high concentration rates across industries have larger incentives to be first movers to secure partnerships with the largest industry players and hence gain rapid customer adoption, adds Accenture.

Articles – The power of the ecosystem – Actuarial Post

Posted on by

By Tom Murray, Head of Product Strategy for LifePlus Solutions at Majesco.

Now the demand for all services to be provided digitally has rocketed and those businesses that do not have the capability to provide a completely digital experience for their customers have been left struggling to adapt to the new reality. Once the lockdown is lifted, it is unlikely that the world will ever return to the way it was before and, given the likelihood that the social distancing requirements will be extended for quite some time, it means that customers will want to utilise technology anywhere they can rather than return to the face to face retail approaches utilised before.

Whilst many life and pension providers now allow their customers some degree of digital interaction, most of this is in strictly defined areas and the process falls back to a more manual approach at key points. This is no longer going to be sufficient to satisfy the needs of millennials who naturally live on-line and the new cohort of boomers who have become far more internet-savvy during the crisis.

The challenge in this new world for financial service providers is to stand out as a supplier of financial services in a digital environment. For this to happen, providers must ensure that their digital offering is satisfying to the end-user. And what is emerging as key to achieving this is the ability to fulfil customers wishes by moving from a pure retail focus to a customer-centric approach i.e. looking to ensure that the customer can fulfil all their related needs as part of a singular, compelling experience.

Providers need to look not just at the products and services they provide but the manner of their delivery and the ecosystems in which they operate. Partnering with related service and product providers enables a much more fulfilling experience to be designed, which in turn leads to higher levels of customer trust and satisfaction.

Providing this more fulfilling experience means ensuring that the provider is using a platform which allows the building of complex services utilising providers of complementary services to focus on the broader range of customer needs for example, customers who need medical reports should be able to arrange and manage the visits for these reports from the providers portal. A one-stop-shop for all customers financial needs is the ideal goal, but a pre-requisite of this is the use of a platform which not only can access the providers legacy information but also can seamlessly link with providers of complementary services to allow the design of sophisticated financial offerings driven by customer needs, not by what the companies provide. In short, digital lifestyles presuppose a customer focussed offering rather than a supplier focussed offering.

Partnerships are vital to the success of this approach, which is predicated on enabling the rapid development of sophisticated services to end consumers. By utilising platforms that have a broad ecosystem of service providers related to life assurance, providers will be able to transform their offerings and provide the high-level digital experiences that the consumer is demanding.

Although the temptation is for life and pension providers to restrict spending in this challenging economic environment, they run the risk that by doing so, they abandon the growing section of the consumer base that demands digital interaction. The danger for companies here is that it leaves the digital field completely open to Insuretech companies, who are already in a position to reach out to the locked-down masses and build new relationships. A platform with a broad ecosystem enables existing providers to market the strength of their brand whilst creating a far greater range of digital experiences to move into new markets of the post-virus world.

This is not the time to be seeking to just tread water until business gets back to normal it never will. Instead, life and pension providers should be investing in the acceleration of their digital strategies and seeking to build broad ecosystems to meet the needs of the accelerated digital environment that the crisis has brought about. Those life and pension providers who dont will be left behind in the post-Covid19 world.

How Coronavirus Is Impacting The V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) Communications Ecosystem: 2019 2030 3w Market News Reports – 3rd Watch News

Posted on by

Commonly referred to as V2X, vehicle-to-everything communications technology allows vehicles to directly communicate with each other, roadside infrastructure, and other road users to deliver an array of benefits in the form of road safety, traffic efficiency, smart mobility, environmental sustainability, and driver convenience. In addition, V2X is also helping pave the way for fully autonomous driving through its unique non line-of-sight sensing capability which allows vehicles to detect potential hazards, traffic, and road conditions from longer distances and sooner than other in-vehicle sensors such as cameras, radar, and LiDAR (Light Detection and Ranging).

Although legacy V2I (Vehicle-to-Infrastructure) technologies are currently in operational use worldwide for ETC (Electronic Toll Collection) and relatively simple V2I applications, advanced V2X systems capable of supporting V2V (Vehicle-to-Vehicle), V2I and other forms of V2X communications are beginning to gain broad commercial acceptance with two competing technologies vying for the attention of automakers and regulators: the commercially mature IEEE 802.11p/DSRC (Dedicated Short Range Communications) standard, and the relatively new 3GPP-defined C-V2X (Cellular V2X) technology which has a forward evolutionary path towards 5G.

With an initial focus on road safety and traffic efficiency applications, Toyota and GM (General Motors) have already equipped some of their vehicle models with IEEE 802.11p-based V2X technology in Japan and North America. Among other commercial commitments, Volkswagen will begin deploying IEEE 802.11p on volume models in Europe starting from 2019, while Geely and Ford plan to integrate C-V2X in their new vehicles by 2021 and 2022 respectively. It is also worth nothing that a number of luxury automakers including BMW, Daimler, Volkswagens subsidiary Audi, and Volvo Cars already deliver certain V2X-type applications through wide-area cellular connectivity and supporting infrastructure such as appropriately equipped roadwork trailers.

Despite the ongoing 802.11p/DSRC versus C-V2X debate, regulatory uncertainty and other challenges, global spending on V2X communications technology is expected to grow at a CAGR of more than 170% between 2019 and 2022. SNS Telecom & IT predicts that by the end of 2022, V2X will account for a market worth $1.2 Billion, with an installed base of nearly 6 Million V2X-equipped vehicles worldwide.

The V2X (Vehicle-to-Everything) Communications Ecosystem: 2019 2030 Opportunities, Challenges, Strategies & Forecasts report presents an in-depth assessment of the V2X ecosystem including market drivers, challenges, enabling technologies, application scenarios, use cases, business models, key trends, standardization, spectrum availability/allocation, regulatory landscape, V2X deployment case studies, opportunities, future roadmap, value chain, ecosystem player profiles and strategies.
