China Unicom Signals Intent to Be Among First With 5G

SDxCentral | April 23, 2019

China Unicom is gearing up to become the first Chinese carrier to launch commercial 5G services for consumers next month and firmly position China as one of the frontrunners that will drive the next generation of mobile technology. China seemed to have lost momentum compared to rival regions, after carriers in South Korea, Switzerland, and the United States moved ahead with their respective commercial 5G launches. China Unicom is now clearly putting its foot on the gas, placing 5G front and center at the carrier’s partner conference in Shanghai this week with a raft of announcements ranging from the launch of smartphone devices through to availability of its 5G network. For example, the Chinese carrier launched a “5G pioneer program” to enable “friendly” 5G users to sign up to trial consumer 5G services; unveiled the “5Gn” logo for future networks and services; confirmed full 5G coverage for trials in seven cities (Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, Shenzhen, Nanjing, Hangzhou and Xiongan) and partial coverage in 33 cities; and signaled the readiness of 5G smartphones from Huawei, ZTE, Oppo, Vivo, Xiaomi, and Nubia. Qualcomm Technologies also confirmed it is supporting China Unicom’s 5G rollout in collaboration with the smartphone vendors, although the U.S. chipset company additionally mentioned OnePlus in its release but excluded Huawei. China Unicom also made reference to two 5G alliances: one it referred to as the China Unicom 5G Application Innovation Alliance, which it said was launched at the conference with 32 partners in the fields of new media, industrial Internet, connected cars, healthcare, education, and tourism; and a second it called the 5G International Cooperation Alliance with the aim of exploring international 5G roaming. BT, NTT, Orange, and Telefonica were name checked here, although few other details were provided. Furthermore, China Unicom flagged the signing of a memorandum of strategic cooperation with Intel for the Winter Olympics in Beijing in 2022 with a focus on smart applications for the venue. China Unicom and Nokia have also partnered on a cooperative 4G and 5G network running on a cloud-based radio access network (cRAN) in the Xiongan. The network, which the vendors have dubbed the “world’s largest field trial,” will target use cases for 5G and demonstrate how networks can separate software and hardware to more rapidly deploy 5G.

The future of AI is hybrid

The future of AI is hybrid. As generative AI adoption grows at record-setting speeds1 and drives higher demand for compute,2 AI processing must be distributed between the cloud and devices for AI to scale and reach its full potential – just like traditional computing evolved from mainframes and thin clients to today’s mix of cloud and edge devices. A hybrid AI architecture distributes and coordinates AI workloads among cloud and edge devices, rather than processing in the cloud alone. The cloud and edge devices, such as smartphones, vehicles, PCs, and IoT devices, work together to deliver more powerful, efficient, and highly optimized AI.

Kore.ai Unveils Experience Optimization (XO) Platform V10.1 Equipped with Smart Co-Pilot and Advanced Generative AI Capabilities

Prnewswire | May 04, 2023

Kore.ai, the world's leading conversational AI platform and solutions company, today announced the release of the Kore.ai Experience Optimization (XO) Platform Version 10.1, featuring enhanced capabilities for building chatbots using generative AI. Kore.ai has introduced capabilities that leverage generative AI and large language models (LLMs) for the creation and deployment of intelligent conversational experiences–making it five times faster with one-third of the operational efforts required compared to conventional methods. Enterprises are increasingly deploying intelligent virtual assistants (IVAs) to deliver better customer and employee experiences, boost productivity and improve business performance. But developing IVAs from scratch that can engage in human-like conversations is a complex process that requires deep understanding of the domain, user behaviors, and business processes. Companies need to invest significant time and effort, which requires teams of developers and domain experts to script and code complex dialogs covering various business use cases, to create and maintain the IVAs' conversational capabilities. Kore.ai addresses this pain point by introducing the Smart Co-pilot through the V10.1 upgrade of the XO platform. By specifying the domain and briefly describing the function of the IVA at the design stage, developers now have access to the relevant use cases and the critical functionalities that the bot must handle. The Smart Co-pilot taps into generative AI to suggest use cases, generate full conversational flows and dialogs, build test cases and training data. This approach significantly reduces the overall efforts required for bot development, by at least 70%. As a result, the time to market for these intelligent conversational experiences can be shortened from days to just a few hours. "Generative AI language models and conversational AI work at their highest potential when used together," said Kore.ai CEO and Founder, Raj Koneru. "LLMs are especially helpful in handling tasks that would otherwise require creating large datasets and training various blank slate models. Through the V10.1 release, we are bringing the power of generative language models to all stages of bot development, simplifying the process of building sophisticated virtual assistants." The Conversation Designer within the XO Platform now automatically generates executable dialog tasks and offers prompts to collect user input, API call definitions, business logic, and transition flows. This allows developers to focus on reviewing, making edits, honing or regenerating the conversation design. To enable IVAs to handle more complex tasks and provide more engaging experiences, Kore.ai has added a feature called AI-Assisted Dialog Node. With the help of AI-Assisted Dialog Nodes, bot developers can create IVAs that utilize contextual information during user interactions and deliver personalized experiences. These dynamic conversations can handle complex tasks and ensure a more natural flow of communication between the IVA and the user. "Smart Co-pilot and the AI-Assisted Dialog Node are innovative concepts that have been implemented to substantially enhance the entire bot development experience for complex use cases and provide a more robust training framework," said Kore.ai Chief Technology Officer, Prasanna Kumar Arikala. "By leveraging these features, developers can create more effective interactions between users and IVAs, resulting in better engagement and personalized experiences." Earlier this year, Kore.ai introduced the zero-shot and few-shot models as part of its efforts to help design conversations and create training and test data to develop truly intelligent and intuitive virtual assistants. These models enable more efficient and effective available data while reducing the amount of manual effort required for labeling and training. The V10.1 release of the XO platform will benefit more than 350 of the Global 2000 companies, as well as an increasing ecosystem of developers seeking to develop virtual assistants. Kore.ai offers a wide range of industry-specific AI solutions such as BankAssist, HealthAssist and the recently launched RetailAssist, as well as function-specific assistants like IT Assist and HR Assist. In addition, the company offers SmartAssist and AgentAssist, which are focused on contact centers. All of these solutions are built on top of the XO platform and benefit from the enhanced features that have been built and added in the V10.1 release. About Kore.ai Kore.ai is a global leader in the conversational AI-first platform and solutions, helping enterprises automate business interactions to deliver extraordinary experiences for their customers, employees, and contact center agents. More than 350 global 2000 companies trust Kore.ai's experience optimization (XO) platform and technology to automate their business interactions for over 100 million users worldwide to achieve extraordinary outcomes. Kore.ai has been recognized as a leader and an innovator by top analysts and ensures the success of its customers through a growing team headquartered in Orlando with offices in India, the UK, Japan, South Korea, and Europe.
