VANCOUVER, BC, June 28, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — USA News Group – The world is changing rapidly thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), with what’s being called the Transformative AI era which comes with great benefits and also potential dangers. The economic impacts are global, with a new report from The Bank for International Settlements (BIS) urging central banks to adapt rapidly to AI advances. Now it’s become apparent how important it is for companies to understand how to harness the full potential of GenAI to secure strategic revenue growth in the coming years. The surge of AI’s usefulness is accelerating innovation in R&D, while behind the scenes tech companies are advancing the infrastructure required to keep this revolution going, including new developments from Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI), Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN), Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET), Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL), and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN).

Known for pioneering advancements in AI, Avant Technologies Inc. (OTCQB: AVAI) has persistently refined and expanded its premier offering, Avant AI™. This sophisticated AI platform, celebrated for its machine learning and deep learning capabilities, is the culmination of Avant’s efforts to deliver unprecedented and cost-effective compute infrastructure that unlocks the full potential of AI and ushers in a new era of technological advancement. 
“There is a real unmet need as rapid growth across the entirety of the AI and big data industries is outpacing the necessary infrastructure for an industry that demands exponential power and capacity while remaining cost effective,” said Avant’s CEO William Hisey in a recent address of progress on AI supercomputer-driven data centers. “Avant’s ‘edge-native’ approach doesn’t rely on cloud-based services so we can offer AI and big data companies many advantages over the more familiar ‘cloud-native’ approach, including, reduced latency, improved security and privacy, increased scalability, and reduced costs.”
In a recent strategic development, Avant entered into a Binding Letter of Intent (BLOI) with Flow Wave, LLC (FW), a prominent Florida-based firm specializing in immersible computer server technology.

In Q3 2024, Accenture plc (NYSE: ACN) brought in over $900 million in new Generative AI bookings, for a total of $2 billion fiscal year-to-date. Despite missing its overall earnings targets, the market responded by sending its shares upward.
“We achieved strong new bookings of over $21 billion, up 22% over last year, and continued to accelerate our strategy to be the reinvention partner of choice, with another 23 clients with quarterly bookings of over $100 million, bringing the total of such bookings to 92 year-to-date,” said Julie Sweet, Chair and CEO of Accenture. “We also achieved two significant milestones this quarter — with $2 billion in Generative AI sales year-to-date and $500 million in revenue year-to-date — which demonstrate our early lead in this critical technology.”
Back in May, Accenture took steps to help its clients to scale their Generative AI responsibly.
“Clients are eager to embrace the potential of generative AI, and we are ready to help them build responsible AI into every use,” said Sweet. “We do this for ourselves, and we can use that example to help our clients find success faster. Our focus is to enable our clients to innovate AI safely and be ready to seize the opportunities that AI will bring in the decades ahead.”
Recently, the cloud-based security solution provider Cloudflare, Inc. (NYSE: NET) unveiled the general availability of its AI Gateway platform. Marketed as a comprehensive interface for managing and scaling generative AI workloads, the platform has transitioned from its beta phase, which started in September 2023, to full client use after successfully handling over 500 million requests.
This launch coincides with Cloudflare’s announcement of a partnership with Hugging Face, a leading platform for AI developers. The collaboration offers a one-click global deployment for AI applications via the Workers AI platform, now also generally available. As the first serverless inference partner integrated on the Hugging Face Hub, this allows developers to deploy AI models quickly, easily, and cost-effectively on a global scale, without the need for managing infrastructure or paying for unused compute capacity.
“Workers AI is one of the most affordable and accessible solutions to run inference,” said Matthew Prince, CEO and co-founder, Cloudflare. “With Hugging Face and Cloudflare both deeply aligned in our efforts to democratize AI in a simple, affordable way, we’re giving developers the freedom and agility to choose a model and scale their AI apps from zero to global in an instant.”
In the education space, Alphabet Inc. (NASDAQ: GOOG, GOOGL) through Google, is bringing new AI tools to Google Workspace for teen students using their school accounts to help them learn responsibly and confidently in an AI-first future, and empowering educators with new tools to help create great learning experiences.
“In the coming months, we’re making Gemini available to teen students that meet our minimum age requirements while using their Google Workspace for Education accounts in English in over 100 countries around the world, free of charge for all education institutions,” said Google in a blog post. “To ensure schools are always in control, Gemini will be off by default for teens until admins choose to turn it on as an Additional Service in the Admin console.”
Google has also developed a number of resources and trainings to help students, parents and educators use generative AI tools responsibly and effectively, including a video on how teens can responsibly use AI while learning.
After recently hitting a $2-trillion valuation, Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) continues to be a big player in the AI space. Now it’s reportedly working on its own AI chatbot that some say might be smarter than ChatGPT, named Metis, which will generate answers by grabbing info from the internet.
Metis is driven by an internal Amazon AI model known as Olympus, drawing inspiration from Greek mythology. According to sources, Olympus is a more advanced version of Amazon’s publicly available Titan model.
Amazon’s CEO Andy Jassy has noted that nearly every division within the company is engaged in some form of AI project. As a pioneer in cloud computing, Amazon has been developing machine learning, a subset of AI, for many years. Jassy recently announced that Amazon’s AI initiatives are projected to generate over $1 billion in annual revenue, with expectations of driving “tens of billions of dollars” in sales in the coming years.
However, Amazon has lagged in the realm of consumer AI assistants. An internal document from last year highlighted that Amazon “does not have a publicly or internally available product that looks and works exactly like ChatGPT.”
According to a source reported by Business Insider, the tentative launch date for Metis is September, right around the time when Amazon is set to host a big Alexa event, although the timeline could still change.

Global Fishing Watch transforms Latam marine resource management

Published

on

global-fishing-watch-transforms-latam-marine-resource-management

SAN JOSÉ, Costa Rica, Oct. 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Marine Manager technological tool, developed by Global Fishing Watch (GFW), is revolutionizing marine resource protection and management in Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador. By processing vast datasets—ranging from species telemetry to fishing activity—it enables enhanced safeguarding of protected marine areas.

The platform is an interactive map that utilizes artificial intelligence, big data, scientific input, and user contributions to provide a comprehensive view of the sea. This includes animal telemetry, which tracks the movements of marine species such as sharks, whales, and turtles. It also incorporates environmental layers to visualize underwater mountains, corals, and mangroves.
The platform also includes oceanographic information, such as sea temperature and oxygen concentration, to better understand how climate change affects marine ecosystems. It also monitors fishing activity to detect vessel movements and even potential illegal activities.
“Marine Manager emerges as a mega-platform that allows us to visualize all these different layers of information interactively. This enables the managers of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) to monitor and better understand what is happening in these zones,” explained Global Fishing Watch’s leader for Latin America, biologist Monica Espinoza, in an interview with EFE.
“Creating an MPA is a huge step, but managing, maintaining, and monitoring them is the big task that follows. Marine Manager supports these efforts by the states,” she added.
In 2004, Costa Rica, Panama, Colombia, and Ecuador created the Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Conservation Corridor (CMAR), a unique global initiative that promotes the conservation and sustainable use of an area covering over 2 million square kilometers. These countries now use the interactive map to manage their marine resources more efficiently and in a coordinated manner.
Through the Marine Manager portal, CMAR administrators collectively identify areas of interest, improving coordination and information exchange.
This effort also supports the goals of the global 30×30 agreement, which aims to protect at least 30% of the world’s oceans by 2030 to halt the rapid loss of species and protect vital ecosystems.
During the United Nations Biodiversity Conference, held from October 21 to November 1 in Cali, Colombia, CMAR countries will share their experience and success in using these technological tools to protect marine ecosystems and species.
Regional cooperation initially focused on protecting Malpelo and Gorgona Islands (Colombia), Coiba Island (Panama), the Galapagos Islands (Ecuador), and Cocos Island (Costa Rica). However, due to growing concerns about marine conservation, protection has expanded to new areas.
In recent years, the number of marine protected areas has increased from four to ten sites, with stronger safeguards and better connectivity for multiple species. This includes Colombia’s Yuruparí-Malpelo Integrated Management District and Northern Pacific Lomas and Hills Integrated Management District, Costa Rica’s Bicentennial Marine Management Area, and Ecuador’s Hermandad Marine Reserve.
A notable success has been the management plan for Cocos Island, as the Costa Rican government received input from Global Fishing Watch to design the plan with specific measures and use the Marine Manager tool for control and surveillance.
As a result, the Cocos Marine Conservation Area “has generated its own information and has been able to identify that in the first half of 2024, apparent fishing effort (total amount of fishing activity) in the protected area decreased by 91%,” Espinoza said.
