WASHINGTON, May 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ —

• Smartphone shopping is expected to peak globally in the coming few years with 43 percent surveyed already making purchases on their phone weekly

• Majority of smartphone shoppers expect most people to have a personal shopping advisor within 3 years; emerging demand for digital shopping assistants to help with purchase decisions

• 69 percent of AR and VR users think these technologies will give smartphones all the benefits of physical stores within 3 years

Taking a look at the fast-changing reality of retail, Ericsson (NASDAQ: ERIC) Consumer & IndustryLab presents: Beyond smartphone shopping – the rise of smart assistants. This report describes how connectivity is driving two major shifts in how people shop. The ongoing surge to use smartphones to pay for goods and services is leading to a second shift involving the use of shopping assistants.

Soon smartphone users will rely on digital assistants in their phones for aspirational shopping support, while simultaneously driving the use of smart home speakers for automation of routine household purchases.

Selecting the type of shopping assistant for home and personal purchases will soon be more important than the actual purchase decision. For example, 63 percent of smartphone shoppers want help with price comparisons – a likely role for a home restocking assistant. And 48 percent want help making shopping decisions easy – a likely role for a personal shopping advisor.

The report is based on a survey of advanced internet users in ten influential cities globally. The sample makes up only a fraction of shoppers worldwide but was chosen because the digital technology used by these respondents puts them at the forefront of the fundamental changes we see sweeping retail around the world.

“While fascinating in their own right, fast-changing consumer shopping behaviors are important to understand for anyone involved in 5G, smart homes, consumer IoT and artificial intelligence” says Michael Björn, Head of Research at Ericsson Consumer & IndustryLab. “When consumers start employing AI to automate everyday purchasing, this will create demand for IoT enabled sensors as well as a need for people to connect appliances in their homes.”

Digitalization of shopping raises questions about the future of the physical store as well. Consumers expect AR/VR-technology to bring all the benefits of physical stores. And more than half believe the effect of fewer people going to stores will be an increase in home deliveries. This indicates a connectivity-driven future for retail both for digital shopping experiences and automation of deliveries.

Respondents also see issues with personal information going forward, leading to a key question: To what extent can digital shopping assistants be trusted, and how will they impact consumers?

About this report

This report presents insights based on an online survey (carried out in January 2018) of 5,048 advanced internet users in Johannesburg, London, Mexico City, Moscow, New York, San Francisco, São Paulo, Shanghai, Sydney and Tokyo.

Respondents were aged 15 to 69 andfit the profile of urban early adopters and represent 50 million of the 180 million living in these cities.

43 percent of the respondents are online smartphone shoppers, meaning that they shop using their smartphones directly at least weekly. A further 45 percent of the sample use digital voice assistants on a weeklybasis, with as many as 35 percent using augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR) at least once a week.

RICHMOND, Vt., May 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — AI Certain Inc., a Vermont-based tech startup, correctly predicted this year’s winning exacta pick at the Kentucky Derby using its new, patent-pending AI technology. The AI narrowed the field of 20 horses down to just two – Justify and Good Magic – and its deep learning neural network system predicted how close the race would be with win-odds separated by only one percent.

AI Certain Inc. was founded in January by father-son duo Tim and Nate Kenney. They launched AI Horse Racing — the company’s first venture into sports — in April of this year.

“We were really excited as we watched and saw that the AI had correctly predicted the exacta for the race,” Nate said.

The AI’s top exacta prediction paid out at $69.60 on a $2 bet.

AI Horse Racing’s deep learning neural networks use hundreds of data elements about each horse, jockey and trainer, along with specific information about the race, to predict the likely finishing position of every horse. The system produces a forecast called AI Fair Odds™ that includes odds for first, second, third, fourth, place, show and top exacta and trifecta picks.

The win odds are calibrated to within a 0.5 percent accuracy by analyzing thousands of past races. The odds for major tracks and most small venues in North America are posted every day for free at AIHorseRacing.com. The company also uses the technology to create AI narrated videos which are posted on their YouTube channel.

“We train the neural networks with tens of thousands of real races. The neural networks learn by seeing real-world results from past events,” Tim said. “Training involves quadrillions of calculations for the networks to learn how to predict the races.”

“It really learns in a very similar way to how someone who has become an expert in horse racing does, just at a much larger scale,” Nate added. “It looks at the same types of data: past performances, workout times and distances, equipment, records on different surfaces, records of trainers and jockeys, times since last workouts and races, how each horse ran in different types of races and much more. What’s interesting is that we found that our accuracy is better if we don’t allow the AI to see other people’s picks and predictions. We let the AI do its job of learning the most important factors from raw race data.”

Horses and racing are nothing new to the Kenney family. Nate’s sister rode horses and he fondly remembers traveling to races at Saratoga as a kid.

“I remember my sister and I were just enthralled with the spectacle of it all. That’s why we chose horse racing as the first sport to focus our efforts on,” Nate said. “The reality of pari-mutuel wagering in horse racing is that it is harder than ever for the average handicapper to compete with complex algorithms. We’re hoping that our AI can help race fans even the playing field.”

The company aims to give players an accurate forecast on the race, allowing them to make smart choices at whatever risk factor they are comfortable with.

“No system can call every race correctly every time,” Nate said. “There will always be randomness involved when it comes to horses, so the goal is to reduce that uncertainty. We don’t tell people how to bet, we just give them the probabilities to do it better. Wagering involves a mix of prediction, final odds and risk management. Some players are more comfortable with a lower-risk 60 percent place or show prediction with a low payout, while some want the thrill of a long-shot overlay that becomes available minutes before the bell. The goal is to provide information to both types of players.”

“My tech friends want to know how it works,” Tim said. “A 20-horse race can have a finishing order of more than 2.4 x 10¹⁸ combinations. That’s quintillions of possibilities. I’m always careful how I answer because we are protecting our intellectual property.  We’ve put two years of research into this AI with statistical modeling. The technology we developed has applications to other sporting areas as well as financial markets, healthcare and business. The system can look at N-dimensional data from very diverse sources – even ones that may be missing data. The training of the neural networks takes some serious computational power and time. What’s astonishing is that the predictions for a new scenario are ready in seconds. Our predictions are generally more accurate than other methods because they include such a wide field of information.”

“We knew the technology had many applications,” said Tim. “While we do find profitable wagers, like the one we placed on the Kentucky Derby, we realize there is more to be gained in becoming a hub for sports prediction. We are focused on rolling this idea into many other market opportunities.”

LOS ANGELES, May 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Tang Ning, founder and CEO of CreditEase, attended the 21st Milken Institute Global Conference in Los Angeles as both a strategic partner and a speaker, and said on the global capital market panel that driven by technology, the middle class and the high-net-worth individuals, a strong new economic growth can be seen in China these years, adding that China is now entering a new era.

The Milken Institute Global Conference, which was held from April 29 to May 2 this year, is the largest economic summit in North America, bringing together more than 750 speakers and 4,000 attendees from business, government, science, philanthropy, academia, arts, and culture arena, from 64 countries across six continents, making it the most broadly attended gathering in its history.

Themed with “Navigating a World in Transition”, renowned attendees include former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, the 12^th World Bank President Jim Yong Kim, among many others, who carried out candid conversations about trade, technology and national security, tackle topics ranging from artificial intelligence to blockchain, financial regulations, global markets and breakthroughs in health.

Tang Ning made these remarks at the panel discussion named Global Capital Markets on the first day of the conference with other renowned panelists including Gerard Baker, Editor in Chief of Wall Street Journal, Michael Corbat, the CEO of Citigroup and Mary Callahan Erdoes, CEO of J.P. Morgan Asset and Wealth Management under JP Morgan Chase, Joshua Friedman, Co-Founder, Co-Chairman and Co-CEO of Canyon Partners, Scott Minerd, Chairman of Investments and Global Chief Investment Officer of Guggenheim Partners.

The new era means firstly that there emerged “new economy” driven by 200 million middle class and 2 million high-net-worth individuals, who need higher quality education and better medical services, said Tang, adding that small businesses and start-ups are part of the “new economy”, who understand that digital transformation is the key factor for their further development.

Tang pointed out that CreditEase’s high-net-worth clients and ultra-high-net-worth clients make businesses in the sectors of manufacturing, import and export, and what they are thinking about are the following three questions: First, how to realize the digital transformation of their businesses; second, how to make global asset allocation; third, how the next generation can inherit their wealth and value to the largest extent.

“The new economy puts forward new requirements for the financial sector, which are small and micro-financing, financing based on intangible asset, direct and long-term investment, VC/PE investment, capital investment and so on,” Tang said.

Speaking of Chinese high-net-worth individuals, Tang emphasized that the rich Chinese began to think about how to make global asset allocation and how to pass on their wealth as well as their value to the next generation effectively, which they cannot learn from their parents.

He also hoped that the Chinese understand the importance of long-term investment and asset allocation. Tang said, “you cannot expect a tech startup to pay dividends every quarter and give your money back after three or four years. A start-up may need ten years or longer to develop to a profitable one and the investors should have patience.”

It is technology that helps China enter the new economic era and helps financial services more convenient, said Tang, stressing that the middle class can do investment through mobile phones and small businesses can borrow money through mobile phones in China.

Tang also said at the Milken Speaker and Sponsor Reception hosted by CreditEase that China’s Fintech has maintained a rapid development in recent years and has already led the world in some sectors, and the Chinese and American Fintech companies should cooperate closely with each other.

Since its establishment in 2006, CreditEase has been at the forefront of leveraging FinTech to transform China’s marketplace lending and wealth management industry, providing highly customized financial services for different client segments. Boasting a global network with offices in major financial and technology hubs around the globe, CreditEase also actively engages with the world’s leading FinTech players through incubation, cooperation, and investment.

The Milken Institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank determined to increase global prosperity by advancing collaborative solutions that widen access to capital, create jobs and improve health. It conducts data-driven research, convenes action-oriented meetings and promotes meaningful policy initiatives.

Mike Klodwen, CEO of Milken Institute, announced in the speaker and sponsor reception that, CreditEase has become Milken Institute’s first strategic partner in Asia because of the company’s leading position in FinTech industry and its innovations in China’s financial sector.

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, May 7, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Today at the 18^th Dubai Airport Show, Sinocloud Wisdom (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd. (“Sinocloud Wisdom” or the “Company”) unveils its market-ready product, a brand new check-in and baggage drop-off robot featuring artificial intelligence technology.

The robot supports fully automated check-in and baggage drop-off. Using AGV technology, the robot will avoid obstacles and transport the bags to the baggage handling area. All the passenger need to do is to scan the passport, put their bags in the robot, and go straight to the passenger security checkpoint. If any bag is spotted suspicious, the security inspection staff will be automatically alarmed and informed of the owner’s information which is collected when the passport is scanned.

Instead of looking for the check-in desk, passengers can check in and drop their bags off from anywhere in the airport with the robot. It will speed up the check-in process and reduce workload of the check-in staff at airports.

The Company also presents an Intelligent Check-in Counter at the Dubai Airport Show. Compared with traditional check-in counters, the innovative check-in counter integrates many practical functions including facial recognition, automatic acquisition of baggage weighing information, height-adjustable desk, advertisement display and intelligent notification. The counter is designed for the purpose of reducing workload as well as improving efficiency, service and security level of the airport.

Li Xin, CEO of Sinocloud Wisdom, said: “Using AI technology, we present our Smart Airport Solution to improve the service of the airport. We keep focusing on optimizing customer experience by creating a convenient, non-interference check-in environment. Our smart airport equipments help the airport to adapt to a growing number of passengers as well as to upgrade their performance.”
