The Artificial Intelligence Industry Innovation Coalition (AI3C), founded by Microsoft, aims to promote the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in healthcare. The coalition will provide recommendations, resources, and best practices for overcoming major societal and industry roadblocks. More: - AI3C will oversee the use of AI to address economic and industrial difficulties, as well as increase data privacy, enhance digital skills and employability.
- By exhibiting new AI tools, compiling use cases, best practices, and research feedback, and training students for employment in AI and data science, it will also help to accelerate AI innovation and acceptance.
- The AI3C will offer guidance on a variety of AI-related issues, such as responsible healthcare innovation, health fairness, and workforce change to reduce clinical fatigue.
- The Brookings Institution, Cleveland Clinic, Duke Health, Intermountain Healthcare, Novant Health, Plug and Play, Providence, UC San Diego, and the University of Virginia are member organizations of the coalition.
- The AI3C follows the National Coalition for Artificial Intelligence in Financial Services, established in Dec. 2020.

 Swiss Baselland Transport Nokia and Schweizer Electronics installed an AI-based threat detection system for the Swiss public transportation firm Baselland Transport AG (BLT). The Scene Analytics system uses computer vision and machine learning technologies for real-time monitoring and analysis to flag off a threat. More: - The 28 EU countries witnessed 250 fatal accidents and 300 serious injuries at level crossings in 2018.
- The Swiss authorities decided to implement an AI-based system to offset these safety risks as situations are dynamic, and one threat can be very different from another.
- The Scene Analytics system uses CCTV feedback to continually update its machine learning algorithms, which classify situations as normal or anomalous.
- The machine learning capability helps the system to self-learn and evolve, reducing the need for human intervention in updating the system.
- The system maintains a backup of event-based videos, images, and other relevant data for further analysis.
- Early threat detection helps Baselland to minimize downtime and delays, in turn improving its operational efficiency.

 DeepWay Xingtu Pininfarina Shanghai, the Chinese arm of the Italian design firm, has developed a new semi-truck packed with autonomous technologies called the DeepWay Xingtu. The studio has equipped the self-driving semi with 11 onboard cameras, an infrared detector, five millimeter-wave radars, and a LIDAR sensor that supposedly helps achieve an over 0.61 mile (1 kilometer) ultra-long-range detection. More: - The truck has an all-electric motor with a custom-developed 450-kilowatt-hour battery pack that allows it to haul 49 tons of freight for up to 186 miles (300 kilometers) on a single charge, thanks to its low drag coefficient of 0.35.
- The battery can be replaced within six minutes through its quick-swap solution.
- The truck is equipped with Baidu's DeepWay autonomous driving technology for its Highway Intelligence System (HIS), which the company claims to be capable of "end-to-end autonomous driving."
- Although it's unknown when or if the Xingtu will be mass-produced, DeepWay intends to continue its R&D on semi-trucks with autonomous technology and electrified powertrains to "promote the commercialization of L4 autonomous driving technology" in China over the coming years.

DeepRoute.ai and manufacturer of solid-state MEMS lidars Zvision Technologies announced a strategic partnership on Monday to jointly deliver a lower-cost, mass-produced L4 autonomous driving solution. DeepRoute.ai's cooperation with Zvision Technologies dates back to late 2017. More: - "As an L4 self-driving enterprise, we launched the world's first front-loading mass production scheme with a cost less than $10,000, breaking the cost barrier of self-driving mass production", said Zhou Guang, CEO of DeepRoute.ai.
- DeepRoute-Driver 2.0, DeepRoute.ai's low-cost L4 automatic driving scheme, adopted three Zvision Technologies solid-state MEMS lidars (ML-30s) in Dec. 2021.
- The autonomous technology also used RoboSense's second-generation intelligent solid-state lidar and eight HDR cameras after establishing an agreement with them at the beginning of this month.
- Developed specifically for medium- and low-speed automatic driving conditions, the ML-30's short-range lidar incorporates a 140-degree x 70-degree ultra-wide-angle lens for wide-angle visibility.
