In fact, many in government and the private sector are already using the next rung in humanity’s digital progression.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is not some Asimovian fantasy, nor an extravagance best left to starchsmocked scientists clinking beakers together in an underground laboratory. AI is an opportunity to create tools that save money, save lives and improve life in ways that can’t be measured.
To beat external hackers and disgruntled insiders, security vendors, their customers, and law enforcement must boost innovation, partnerships, and awareness about evolving threats. Now. That was a key message at the RSA Conference, whose 25th edition last week drew almost 40,000...
Through the use of artificial intelligence, Armorway, a Venice, California-based company, is predicting when terrorists or adversaries will attempt to strike a target, giving security professionals the chance to take preventative action. Armorway provides its customers with “intelligent adaptive solutions,” said Zaré Baghdasarian, co-founder and CEO of the company. Adversaries “learn and adapt. So as a security [precaution], we have to be the same way, adaptive, and stay one step ahead of them.” The company currently offers two products: Trust is tailored for insider threats....
Armorway Announces $2.5 Million in Seed Round Funding for Pioneering Artificial and Prescriptive Intelligence Enterprise Initiatives
AI Innovator also named as Red Herring North American Top 100 Finalist
LOS ANGELES, June 7, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Armorway, a leading provider of advanced data analytics solutions, today announced the completion of a $2.5 million seed round of financing for its patented Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform that delivers descriptive,...
ArmorWay Inc. said on Tuesday it has raised $2.5 million in seed funding to bring to market its analytical software used by firms providing security services to private businesses and government agencies.
Game theory is not new to government. It has been used by intelligence agencies for more than 20 years to analyze events around the globe and to make predictions about future events.
With that in mind, it’s a bit surprising that game theory is only recently being applied to homeland security. Yet according to Milind Tambe, professor of computer science and engineering at the University of Southern California, that’s the case. And he should know because he directs USC’s Teamcore Research Group, which receives funding from the Department of Homeland Security and is focused on...
A park ranger treads carefully through the trees, stopping to listen for signs of the poacher he’s tailing. Killed for skins, medicine and trophy hunting, the worldwide population of tigers has been reduced to near-extinction at about 3,200. The scale of destruction is increasing, and it will take a three-pronged approach to battle the corruption and financial incentives
driving the illegal trade: tackling the source, transmission and demand for wild animal products. Supply could be dealt with by park rangers catching the poachers before they attack, but finding a...
The newest weapon in the fight against wildlife poaching and illegal logging doesn’t rely solely on boots or bullets, but on a computer software application driven by artificial intelligence.
Called Protection Assistant for Wildlife Security, or PAWS, the app uses algorithms – similar to the mathematical models used to power computer games – to devise strategies for defeating those who seek to destroy nature.
The campaign to track down poachers and protect endangered species in Africa’s embattled reserves is tapping into the technology used in the virtual world of online poker and other computer games.
A U.S.-funded initiative is applying artificial intelligence and game theory algorithms to predict the movement of poachers, helping rangers who are testing the new technology in Uganda to find illegal hunters and their animal traps.
“We’re trying to predict future poacher attacks or where poachers may strike next based on what we have observed in the...
Avata Intelligence (http://avataai.com/), a leader in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology, today announced that the company has officially changed its name from Armorway. The name change reflects the intelligence behind its award‐winning AI platform and growing use in analyzing and recommending actions for optimal outcomes. Applications of the platform have expanded to include such diverse areas as public safety & infrastructure, defense, healthcare, global awareness and social impact.
Call it artificial intelligence with a human touch. This week, two California universities separately announced new centers devoted to studying the ways in which AI can help humanity.
USC’s Viterbi School of Engineering and its School of Social Work said Wednesday that they had joined forces to launch the Center on Artificial Intelligence for Social Solutions. A day earlier, UC Berkeley unveiled its newly minted Center for Human-Compatible Artificial Intelligence.
A typical nightmare scenario goes something like this: Robots first replace autoworkers on the assembly line. Then they move into white- collar jobs, writing articles, drafting legal documents and reading X-rays. Finally, the robots, growing ever smarter through machine learning and Big Data, displace even the most highly trained workers. The result: Unemployment rates skyrocket and the economy craters.
