As YouTube Tries To Fight Controversial Content, It’s Giving Quality Creators With New Ways To Make Money
GOOG (Alphabet Inc.) | Forbes
YouTube Chief Product Officer Neal Mohan delivered YouTube's keynote at the VidCon conference in Anaheim, Calif. in 2018. “We’re really focusing on rewarding the creators that are generating value,” Mohan told Forbes in an interview before the keynote. Mohan’s message on stage on Thursday was that giving top creators ways to increase their revenue would encourage more quality posts as the site continues to fight controversial content. YouTube takes a cut of both the advertising and non-advertising revenue it pays creators so the boom in user spending is a boon for Google, too. (Despite investor entreaty, neither Google nor parent-company Alphabet have revealed YouTube’s revenue figures.)

Facebook VP: AI has a compute dependency problem
FB (Facebook Inc) | VentureBeat
In one of his first public speaking appearances since joining Facebook to lead its AI initiatives, VP Jérôme Pesenti expressed his concern about the growing use of compute power necessary to create powerful AI systems. Examples of systems less reliant on compute for innovative breakthroughs include Pluribus, an AI system developed by Facebook AI Research and Carnegie Mellon University, introduced today, that can take on world-class poker players. The end of Moore’s Law means the compute necessary to create the most advanced AI is going up. He believes bias typically comes from data sets rather than the creators of AI systems. Analysis by Data & Society fellow and Algorithmic Accountability Act coauthor Mutale Nkonde found that Facebook AI Research currently employs 146 people, none of whom are of African descent.

NKE (Nike Inc) | Houston Chronicle

What BlackBerry Bought
BB (BlackBerry Limited) | Sseking Alpha
A lot of BlackBerry (BB) bulls have been passing around the narrative that BlackBerry bought the Swiss army knife of cybersecurity by purchasing Cylance. I know you're curious to know what BlackBerry actually bought and what it's capable of. BlackBerry bought a solution that protects enterprises and small businesses with multiple endpoints from the most sophisticated attack vectors. Yes, BlackBerry bought a Symantec. That’s the future, and that’s why BlackBerry paid that money for Cylance.

Intel: New chip materials will enable massive AI research gains
INTC (Intel Corporation ) | VentureBeat
Intel VP and CTO of AI products Amir Khosrowshahi and general manager of IoT Jonathan Ballon shared their thoughts onstage at VentureBeat’s 2019 Transform conference in San Francisco. It’s undoubtedly true that the barriers to AI adoption are much lower than they once were, according to Khosrowshahi. Despite the embarrassment of development riches, however, Khosrowshahi says that identifying the right tools remain a blocker for some projects. “Processor cooling infrastructure, software frameworks, and so forth have really enabled [these AI models], and it’s kind of an enormous amount of compute,” said Khosrowshahi. Khosrowshahi is bullish on new types of transistors that rely on multiferroics and topological materials to run machine learning algorithms.

US tech companies face new French tax – four experts weigh in
AMZN (Amazon.com Inc.) | CNBC
U.S. tech companies are facing more scrutiny from Europe. France's Senate on Thursday approved a tax on revenues from major tech companies, including Google, Amazon and Facebook, raising the ire of the White House. Stephanie Link of Nuveen sees value in one corner of the tech market. "I understand why you want to own some software, software as a service, but they do trade at 30 to 50 times forward earnings. The better value would be in the semiconductor space and even the FANG because they have been dragged down on regulation."
