The Department Of Education Issues Recommendations For How Educators Should Approach The Use Of AI – Benzinga Dives Deeper With EdTech CEO

Amesite Inc.

By David Willey, Benzinga Follow the latest news from Amesite, Inc. Dr. Ann Marie Sastry, CEO of Amesite, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMST), recently appeared on Benzinga’s All Access Live, a live show where Benzinga highlights companies and leaders who are transforming their industry. Amesite is an eLearning platform and content provider powered by artificial intelligence (AI). The company is looking to revolutionize the traditional educational experience and harness the power of AI for the next generation of learners. Amesite has had an AI-first approach from its inception, and Dr. Sastry spoke about how this “build-to-integrate” approach has given the company both philosophical and technical advantages in the market. The company sees that the world is moving rapidly toward the integration of AI across all sectors, and it believes that this is creating a need for services that make AI readily available and part of daily life. Also, on a very practical level, Dr. Sastry believes companies that don’t adopt AI will quickly become obsolete and be left behind in the fast-changing economic environment. Amesite is addressing this need both by integrating AI technology into its platform and by educating its users in AI competence. One way it is doing this is by offering a free course on the fundamentals of ChatGPT. Amesite’s AI-First Framework In fact, Amesite moved early to integrate language learning model (LLM) technology, and it recently announced the launch of its Version 6.3 (V6) platform, which incorporates GPT4 technology. This means that courses hosted on Amesite’s platform take advantage of cutting-edge AI features to provide a premium Learning Management System (LMS). Dr. Sastry explained how with Amesite, people can harness AI to answer questions and create content, enabling the delivery of mass customized, deeply engaging learning experiences. Dr. Sastry credits their provision of AI solutions as one of the reasons why Amesite delivers a high retention rate of 99% for learners on its platform. Dr. Sastry highlighted Amesite’s GPT-4 powered AI bot, which is available 24/7 to provide learners with support and answers to their questions. The platform also has a feature that allows for contextualized information. That means courses on popular topics will include a sidebar populated with current news stories to complement the course material with up-to-date sources. These features, and Amesite’s approach, make it an increasingly popular choice for organizations looking to leverage AI. “The world is moving very fast,” said Dr. Sastry. “You have to have the infrastructure and the mindset. We are an AI-first company, we have been thinking about this for a long time, and we’re integrating it very rapidly.” Amesite recently published a free integration white paper that can be downloaded by the public here. The Need For An AI-Powered Learning System The interview occurred following the Department of Education issuing recommendations for how educators should approach the use of AI in a learning environment. A survey of 1,000 college students found that more than 60% had used ChatGPT for help with homework, and a third had used it on a written assignment. This means that it is important to integrate ChatGPT and other AI tools into the classroom, not only to provide learning benefits but because it is crucial for helping students approach technology in a controlled and supportive environment. This is what Amesite is looking to do through its premium platform and eLearning service. Amesite has already worked with numerous institutions, including universities, museums, and corporations, to deliver important educational and upskilling training. Read more about Amesite’s position as a cutting-edge adopter of AI in education. Amesite Inc., an artificial intelligence driven platform and course designer, provides online products in the United States. The company uses machine learning to offer a mass customized experience to learners. Its customers include businesses, universities and colleges, K-12 schools, and non-profit organizations.

Charge Enterprises’s Laser-Focused Strategy To Capitalize On The Growing Need For Infrastructure To Support Dealerships As They Transition To EVs

Charge Enterprises, Inc

By David Willey, Benzinga Stay up to date with Charge as it helps roll out EV infrastructure across America. Sales of electric vehicles (EVs) continue to rise and are anticipated to pass 1 million for the first time in 2023. However, managing the transition from internal combustion engines (ICE) to electric cars is complex and involves boosting consumer confidence and the infrastructure to support the transition. Major car manufacturers like Ford Motor Company (NYSE: F) and General Motors (NYSE: GM) are dependent on their franchised dealerships to assist in the adoption of EVs. GM is investing $35 billion between 2020 and 2025 to support the EV transition and has enrolled nearly 1,000 dealerships in its Community Charging Program. Meanwhile, Ford will spend $50 billion on EV investments by 2026, in an effort to increase its EV adoption rates. 65% of its dealerships have already joined Ford’s EV certification program, which requires each dealership to spend up to $1.2 million on the switch. The majority of this spending goes towards installing EV infrastructure. Overall, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) dealerships are predicted to spend $5.5 billion on EV infrastructure, with an estimated cost of $100,000 to $1 million per store. Charge Enterprises Is Working With Dealerships In Transition As dealerships continue to grow their share of EV sales, they are reportedly frequently the face of the EV transition and the main point of contact for consumers. In places like Detroit, Michigan, which will be part of a major new binational EV corridor, dealerships could be essential for giving car buyers the confidence that the EV network is scaling. The importance of having public, properly functioning charging stations was underscored in a 2022 survey of customer sentiment that revealed widespread frustration with malfunctioning EV charging stations. If EV sales continue to increase, the supporting infrastructure appears to be straining, as charging points can underperform and issues can go unaddressed as they arise. This problem, combined with the continued push for public stations from OEMs and dealerships, could positively impact companies like Charge Enterprises Inc. (NASDAQ: CRGE). Charge specializes in broadband, wireless and EV charging infrastructure. Charge plans to deploy a multi-phased strategy, initially where investment in the EV charging revolution is taking place, the nation’s approximately 18,000 franchised auto dealers. Starting with the largest automotive OEMs, their dealers, and their fleets, the company’s goal is to capture a significant portion of these retail dealerships - creating a dealer ecosystem that will lead to repeat customers and recurring revenue. Charge plans to execute this strategy while remaining agnostic to the hardware it installs. This means it isn’t competing directly in the crowded, charging hardware market. As the charging infrastructure market is so large, Charge has set its sights on the dealership sector, and it is keeping its strategy laser-focused on fulfillment in this sector. The company set the goal to collaborate with 1,000 dealerships by the end of 2025, and it has already made significant gains toward this goal, reaching 15% of its target by the end of the first quarter of 2023. Based on the current backlog, pipeline data, and current industry pricing, the company believes the initial installation projects at these 1,000 locations could represent approximately $365 million in potential revenue upon completion of all phases of the projects. The company was featured in a recent Forbes article that highlighted the upward trajectory of Charge as it deepens its position in the EV market. As of March 31, 2023, its EV division made up 20% of the $107 million of reported backlog within the company’s infrastructure segment, and the company worked with 20 different brands in the last quarter alone. It has also already collaborated with leading power and EV development companies, while maintaining its flexible, capital-lite approach to the market. Charge Enterprises Inc. operates as an electrical, broadband, and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure company. The company provides clients with end-to-end project management services, including advising, designing, engineering, acquiring and installing equipment, monitoring, servicing, and maintenance. It operates in two segments, Infrastructure and Telecommunications. The Infrastructure segment offers broadband and wireless, electrical contracting, electric vehicle charging, and fleet services. The Telecommunications segment provides internet-protocol-based and time-division multiplexing access for transport of long-distance voice and data minutes; domestic switching and related peripheral equipment services, and carrier-grade routers and switches for internet and circuit-based services, as well as connection of voice calls and data services. The company was formerly known as TransWorld Holdings Inc and changed its name to Charge Enterprises, Inc. in January 2021. Charge Enterprises, Inc. was incorporated in 2003 and is based in New York, New York. This post contains sponsored content.

Reading, Writing, and…Renting: Airbnb Helps US Educators Earn Extra Income by Hosting

YourUpdateTV

Now that the summer break is finally here, teachers and educators have an opportunity to earn extra income by hosting on Airbnb. Recently, Airbnb Superhost, Katy Severe, conducted a satellite media tour to talk about her experience being Airbnb host and share tips for any educators considering Hosting during the summer break. A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/ZeizUJJRJQ8 Like other Americans, teachers have had to navigate the rising cost of living, often on tight salaries. To help make ends meet, teachers have taken to hosting on Airbnb as an option to help supplement income during summer months and beyond. In 2022, teachers collectively earned more than $330 million1 - including $110 million2 during the summer months alone. This money helps provide a meaningful boost in income when class is not in session, and can help cover household bills, pay for everyday expenses, and fund hobbies outside of the classroom. Educator Hosts have long been a part of the Airbnb community. In 2022, the number of US educators hosting on Airbnb increased by nearly 10 percent3 compared with the previous year, underscoring the fact that more and more teachers are taking advantage of the economic benefits of home sharing. Hosting is now easier than ever Airbnb has made it easier than ever to become a Host with Airbnb Setup and over 25 new features and upgrades for Hosts. For those looking to become a Private Room Host, Airbnb recently introduced Airbnb Rooms, an all-new take on the original Airbnb that helps guests travel more affordably, connect with people and have authentic experience, and get to know their Hosts. In 2022, over 25 percent of US teachers on the platform were private room Hosts4. In the current economic environment, Airbnb believe this idea is more important than ever. These teachers understood the assignment by taking advantage of hosting on Airbnb, and guests are giving them A+’s all around. Make your home do the work this summer by signing up to Host on Airbnb. Every Host’s experience hosting is unique. Host booking numbers may vary widely depending on many factors, including availability, price, acceptance and cancellation rates, and the demand in the listing location. 1According to internal Airbnb data between January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 of Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors. 2According to internal Airbnb data between June 1, 2022 and August 31, 2022 of Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors. 3The number of self-identified teachers or professors who earned income by hosting from January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 compared to January 1, 2021 – December 31, 2021. 4According to internal Airbnb data between January 1, 2022 – December 31, 2022 of Private Room Hosts who self-reported as teachers or professors.

Artificial Intelligence In Healthcare: A Potentially Strong Opportunity For BioSig Technologies (NASDAQ: BSGM)?

Benzinga

By Rachael Green, Benzinga BioSig Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: BSGM) announced a new collaboration agreement in June with Reified Labs, a technical advisory service specializing in advanced artificial intelligence (AI). Together, BioSig and Reified will research and develop an AI medical device platform with the potential to transform the way doctors treat a range of common health problems from heart arrhythmias to peripheral nerve disorders like Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) or nerve damage. An AI Medical Device Platform Built On Cutting Edge Research Reified Labs is headed by Dr. Alexander D. Wissner-Gross, one of the advisory firm’s founders and a Harvard- and MIT-trained computer scientist, physicist, investor and entrepreneur. Dr. Wissner-Gross has spent decades researching AI, machine learning, and its applications in healthcare. Through Reified Labs, he and his team of scientists and engineers have collaborated with dozens of biotechs and medtechs to develop cutting-edge diagnostic and treatment tools for healthcare providers. In a statement on the collaboration, Dr. Wissner-Gross said that the potential applications of AI and digital signal processing “continues to present a promising opportunity for realizing key medical advances relating to disorders of the peripheral nervous system.” Past collaborations with Reified have already been fruitful for BioSig, resulting in published research on AI-enhanced ECG mapping and multiple patent applications. In fact, back in September of 2020, an abstract titled Computational Reconstruction of Electrocardiogram Lead Placement, co-authored by Dr. Alexander D. Wissner-Gross of Reified LLC and Dr. Suraj Kapa of the Mayo Clinic, et al., was published illustrating that the transformative potential of artificial intelligence and machine learning in healthcare is vast. To develop the platform, the companies will train the AI platform using electrocardiogram (ECG) ad intra-cardiac electrogram (IECG) data from BioSig’s patented PURE EP platform, which has already been used in over 3,000 procedures and featured in peer-reviewed clinical research. PURE EP is a breakthrough technology that captures cardiac signals while eliminating environmental noise for clearer, sharper data, even for the subtler or more complex signals that are easy to miss with conventional ECG and iECG tech. This has potentially helped make cardiac ablations — a procedure used to treat irregular heartbeats — faster and more precise. It’s provided similar benefits to other procedures as well as become a helpful tool in leading labs, including Mayo Clinic, Cleveland Clinic, Texas Cardiac Arrhythmia Institute and Kansas City Heart Rhythm Institute. By training the AI on this precision signaling data along with additional healthcare datasets, the team hopes to develop more advanced electrophysiology tech for healthcare providers. Once trained, the AI could help with real-time data analysis and improve every stage of the clinical workflow. The resulting tech could then be integrated into PURE EP to add even more functionality to the platform. This post contains sponsored content.

Development Of Uranium, Copper And Nickel Resources Is Critical To The Transition To Clean Energy – Sprott’s ETFs Plan To Ride The Forecasted Growth

Benzinga

By David Willey, Benzinga The transition towards low-carbon, clean energy solutions is continuing to pick up pace, and with it, the demand for critical minerals is projected to continue increasing. Critical minerals are the natural resources necessary to generate, transmit and store low-carbon energy. Modern forms of clean energy, such as battery, wind, solar and nuclear all depend upon a steady supply of these critical minerals. To meet goals for lowering carbon emissions, governments and corporations have invested a historic $1.1 trillion into the transition to renewable energy sources. However, estimates say the figure needs to triple to meet net-zero targets. One concern with the transition is whether the supply of critical minerals will be able to keep up with the rapidly increasing demand. Copper, for example, is a critical mineral that is involved in almost every type of clean energy. One projection shows the energy transition demand for copper going from today’s demand of 5 million metric tons (MTs) to 50 million MTs by 2050, with demand expected to drive the commodity’s price up. It is currently worth about $8,500 per MT, however, the global head of commodities at Goldman Sachs expects the price to reach $10,000 in the short term and $15,000 in the longer term. That is one of a number of reasons why Sprott Asset Management, a subsidiary of Sprott Inc. (NYSE: SII), recently launched a series of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for critical minerals. Sprott Asset Management offers some of the only pure-play ETFs for critical minerals, including the Sprott Energy Transition Materials ETF (NASDAQ: SETM) and the Sprott Lithium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: LITP). One of its ETFs is the Sprott Junior Copper Miners ETF (NASDAQ: COPJ). It is the only pure-play ETF for small copper miners, and it currently has 39 holdings for $2.51 million in assets. Sprott’s ETFs In Uranium And Nickel Another of Sprott’s ETFs is the Sprott Junior Uranium Miners ETF (NASDAQ: URNJ). The company believes uranium is currently in a bull market, with the two previous uranium bull markets occurring in the 1970s and the early 2000s respectively. Investment is pouring into this sector, with 58 nuclear plants currently under construction globally and another 104 plants in the planning stage. URNJ has 32 holdings and $33.1 million in assets. The ETF is focused on tracking the growth of mid-, small- and micro-cap companies involved in uranium mining. A third ETF is the Sprott Nickel Miners ETF (NASDAQ: NIKL). Nickel is an important mineral with a range of uses in clean energy, including in electric vehicles (EVs), battery storage and additional infrastructure. Demand for this critical mineral may increase almost 20-fold between 2020 and 2040 as further uses are found for nickel within the clean energy space. Sprott reports taking advantage of the forecasted growth with its NIKL ETF, the only US-listed ETF with a pure-play focus on nickel mining companies. NIKL has 24 holdings and has $1 million in assets. The ETF tracks companies involved in producing, developing and exploring nickel.
