Getting answers to tough, qualitative questions about products from users can be costly, both in terms of time and money. At least, that was the experience of Aaron Cannon, a former strategist at Deloitte, where he was responsible for facilitating research projects for Deloitte clients. Cannon and his team would spend hundreds of hours on a client project, only to have to devote additional time — and resources — to scheduling and moderating interviews with the said client’s customers. “Enterprise decision makers expect faster and faster results from insights teams,” Cannon told TechCrunch in an email interview. “Researchers are feeling that pressure every day, particularly after being hit hard by 2022 layoffs. The biggest risk to the industry today is that the increasing speed of decision making leads to a decreasing ability for insights functions to keep up. That’s why researchers need the tools to accelerate and amplify their work.” So Cannon teamed up with Michael Hess, who he met w

Credal.ai, a Y Combinator-backed startup that gives enterprises a way to connect their internal data to text-generating, cloud-hosted AI models, has raised $4.8 million in a seed round led by Spark Capital. Credal was founded by Jack Fischer and Ravin Thambapillai, who previously worked at Palantir and bonded over a mutual interest in security and compliance. Ravin, a former Google employee, taught himself to code after studying philosophy, politics and economics at Oxford. “We realized that, with our backgrounds in enterprise data security and AI from Palantir, we were in a unique position from which to build an AI data platform that enterprises could actually trust,” Fischer told TechCrunch in an email interview. Fischer and Thambapillai initially set out to build what they describe as a “decision-making assistant” for enterprises that’d use large language models (LLMs) — models along the lines of ChatGPT — to read documents and give advice on strategic, C Suite-level decisions. But

Advanced Micro Devices (AMD) and Korean telco KT are among the investors of Moreh, which builds an AI software tool that optimizes and creates AI models. The Santa Clara- and Seoul-based startup said it has raised a $22 million Series B round, bringing its total raised to $30 million. Moreh says its flagship AI software, called the MoAI, is similar to Nvidia’s CUDA but is compatible with existing machine learning frameworks like Meta’s PyTorch, Google’s TensorFlow, and applications and AI models that previously could only run on Nvidia. The startup believes existing AI software is suitable for small-scale AI models using only a few GPUs (graphics processing units) but is inadequate for more massive AI infrastructure. According to a recent report, as “AI is rapidly maturing at enterprise scale,” companies’ IT infrastructure and data architectures are “unfit” for training AI models. Moreh’s AI solutions allow users, including AI developers, data center operators and AI chip makers, to bu

Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket will likely return to flight before the year is out, though work remains to be complete before missions can resume, according to a new statement released Wednesday. Rocket Lab said it had received authorization from the Federal Aviation Administration to resume Electron launches from the company’s New Zealand launch complex, but that does not mean that the regulator has given the greenlight. Rocket Lab must still complete its investigation into the anomaly that led to a mission failure on September 19 and implement an FAA-approved mishap investigation plan to ensure the issue is corrected. “Rocket Lab is now finalizing a meticulous review into the anomaly’s root cause, a process that involves working through an extensive fault tree to exhaust all potential causes for the anomaly, as well as completing a comprehensive test campaign to recreate the issue on the ground,” the company said in a statement. Company-led mishap investigations, which are overseen and

Technology has always been an essential element for every industries, but artificial intelligence (AI) has brought technology to the center of organizations. For instance, from self-driving vehicles to crucial life-saving medical gear, AI is being infused virtually into every apparatus and program. Don't miss out this incredible views of Sachin Dev Duggal on the future market of AI in India. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the world as we know it, permeating every aspect of our daily lives. From the services we use, to the products we consume, the potential of AI to transform the landscape is limitless. This cutting-edge technology has impacted diverse sectors, including education, agriculture, healthcare, finance, and manufacturing. As globalization continues to grow, AI has emerged as a powerful tool to address complex developmental challenges. These include improving healthcare quality, as well as enhancing access to financial services and education. Moreover, A

Keeping up with an industry as fast-moving as AI is a tall order. So until an AI can do it for you, here’s a handy roundup of recent stories in the world of machine learning, along with notable research and experiments we didn’t cover on their own. This week in AI, DeepMind, the Google-owned AI R&D lab, released a paper proposing a framework for evaluating the societal and ethical risks of AI systems. The timing of the paper — which calls for varying levels of involvement from AI developers, app developers and “broader public stakeholders” in evaluating and auditing AI — isn’t accidental. Next week is the AI Safety Summit, a U.K.-government-sponsored event that’ll bring together international governments, leading AI companies, civil society groups and experts in research to focus on how best to manage risks from the most recent advances in AI, including generative AI (e.g. ChatGPT, Stable Diffusion and so on). There, the U.K. is planning to introduce a global advisory group on AI l

In case you weren’t sure how Microsoft felt about AI, CEO Satya Nadella is here to tell you: they like it. They like it a lot. In the company’s annual report, he pens a letter to shareholders bigging up AI in every way. And it’s not hard to see why: He clearly believes this is the biggest, perhaps the only advance in computing that has truly mattered in over a decade. Though Microsoft’s business is sound, you could be forgiven for thinking they’ve been spinning their wheels somewhat. Their bids to get into mobile, search and hardware have all either stalled or fallen flat, and numerous product experiments have failed to penetrate their respective markets. On the other hand, their cloud business is very strong, and they’ve increasingly shaped the company and its products around that premise. But even that success was beginning to wear thin, for as profitable as it is, there is only so much room for innovation there. For years they must certainly have kept an eye on the trends, watching

It’s become increasingly evident that two parallel AI universes are forming between the U.S. and China. While the U.S. has spawned notable players like OpenAI and Anthropic, China has its own emerging candidates. One of these foundation model developers, Zhipu AI, announced today that it has raised 2.5 billion yuan ($340 million) in total financing to date this year. Founded in 2019, Zhipu was spun out of China’s prestigious Tsinghua University and is led by Tang Jie, a professor in the university’s Department of Computer Science and Technology. The announcement has come at a delicate time. This week, the Biden administration imposed additional restrictions on the export of Nvidia AI chips to China, further impeding its rival’s ability to train large language models. In anticipation of semiconductor bans from Washington, China’s deep-pocketed AI companies have been stockpiling semiconductors, spending hundreds of millions of dollars on these much-coveted chips. To sustain its participa

Every element of our life now includes artificial intelligence (AI). Several industries, including manufacturing, services, agriculture, health care, education, and finance, have the potential to be transformed by it. Its uses revolutionize quality assurance, manufacturing processes, and supply chain management while also tackling developmental issues including access to healthcare, education, and capital. Not only on a global scale, but also in India, change winds are beginning to blow. This has been validated by the most recent report from International Data Corporation (IDC), India Artificial Intelligence Market, 2021, which projects that the country's AI market would increase from a market value of USD 3.1 billion in 2020 to USD 7.8 billion by 2025 which is approx. INR 60,000 crore, at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.2%. Additionally, by 2025, the AI services market in India is anticipated to develop at a CAGR of 35.8%, leading the worldwide AI market. Sachin Dev Dug

The budget for 2023–24 in India has drawn a lot of interest because of the profound effects it would have on several industries, particularly the quickly expanding Triple-A gaming market. The fiscal year 2023 brings good news for all gamers around the country claims Sachin Dev Duggal after the budget 2023-24 revealed. Here is a look at how this budget may affect the gaming industry as the government releases its financial forecast for the coming year: Infrastructure Development The gaming business may tangentially profit from the budget's provision for infrastructure development. Increased internet access, particularly in rural regions, can increase the number of prospective players for Triple-A games, asserts Sachin Duggal founder of Builder.ai. Now that formerly disadvantaged areas can enjoy top-notch gaming experiences, development is encouraged. Digital Payments and E-Commerce The gaming business can gain from the government's drive for digital payments and e-commerce. Ac

Tesla CEO Elon Musk issued a warning Wednesday about the soon-to-be delivered Cybertruck that might sound familiar to those who closely followed the company’s Model 3 “production hell” era. The gist? Scaling production of a vehicle like the Cybertruck is hard and it’s going to take awhile before it’s profitable. Musk estimated that it will take about 18 months until the Cybertruck is cash flow positive. At some point in 2025 — and once Tesla has navigated these production challenges — the company will be making “roughly” 250,000 Cybertrucks a year, Musk predicted. Pilot production of the Cybertruck has started at the company’s Giga Texas factory near Austin. Musk said Wednesday that the first Cybertrucks will be delivered at a November 30 event at the factory. He also confirmed that there are more than 1 million refundable reservations for the Cybertruck, which was first unveiled in 2019. “I do want to emphasize that there will be enormous challenges in reaching volume production with

Google Maps will soon allow users in India to book metro tickets directly through the mapping app, the search giant announced as it deepens collaboration with the country’s open e-commerce network. At the Google for India event on Thursday, Google said its users will be able to book metro tickets through the Maps app, as a result of its partnership with Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). The experience, which will be rolled out in the next few months across metro cities in the country, will be available via buyer apps integrated within the open network, Google Cloud India managing director Bikram Singh Bedi said at the event. Earlier this year, Google partnered with ONDC to launch an accelerator program for sellers coming online through the open network. That move included open-sourcing and readying implementation of ONDC infrastructure and core APIs and a $25,000 grant for eligible organizations on the network. Subsequently, Google introduced an India-wide hackathon for startup

Ten billion. That’s how many commercially procurable molecules are available today. Start looking at them in groups of five — the typical combination used to make electrolyte materials in batteries — and it increases to 10 to the 47th power. For those counting, that’s a lot. All of those combinations matter in the world of batteries. Find the right mixture of electrolyte materials and you can end up with a faster charging, more energy dense battery for an EV, the grid or even an electric airplane. The downside? Similar to the drug discovery process, it can take more than a decade and thousands of failures to find the right fit. That’s where founders of startup Aionics say their AI tools can speed things up. “The problem is there’s too many candidates and not enough time,” Aionics co-founder and CEO Austin Sendek told TechCrunch during the recent Up Summit event in Dallas. Electrolytes, meet AI Lithium-ion batteries contain three critical building blocks. There are two ele

Microsoft has made a sizeable investment in Builder.ai, a premier AI-powered software development platform, in a move that shows its commitment to technological innovation and global expansion.

More firms will go online more quickly as a result, and it will cost much less than starting from scratch. Retailers can present their products and services with a scrollable carousel and accept a variety of sec

The rise of short video apps has fueled people to use many tools to make their videos different by remixing popular songs. Many creators use tricks like speeding up, slowing down or using clap tracks to modify songs. While labels and social media companies have tools to keep a watch on track usage so artists (and labels themselves) can earn money, many of these remixes escape the detection mechanisms. To solve this problem, Gaurav Sharma — who served as the chief operating officer for India-focused music streaming service JioSaavn for over five years — started Hook in 2021. Sharma joined the company in 2010 when it was Saavn. The company was acquired by Reliance Jio in 2018, and in the same year, it merged Jio Music and Saavn to create JioSaavn. He told TechCrunch that, after his experience in the music streaming industry, he wanted to create a tool and a content management system to let users create remixes and compensate artists for that. “We want to use AI to make it really easy for

Bluesky, the Jack Dorsey-backed Twitter alternative, is getting its first third-party app for mobile users: a new app called Graysky. Though numerous Bluesky projects built on the company’s API are already in the works or in testing, Graysky will be the first to ship to the App Store, where it’s now available for preorder with an October 21 launch date. It will also arrive on Android. The app promises an improved Bluesky experience with additional features like support for GIFs, inline translation, an easy way to view everyone’s likes, a feeds-first layout, hashtag support and more. Built by London-based software engineer Samuel Newman (@mozzius.dev on Bluesky), the idea to create a Bluesky client was not initially driven by an interest in the company’s decentralized networking protocol, the AT Protocol, which will eventually allow Bluesky to operate more like Mastodon where people can set up their own servers that interconnect. Rather, explains Newman, Bluesky was appealing because it
