The same day Microsoft invested billions in OpenAI, McKinsey snatched up enterprise-focused AI firm Iguazio for a relative steal.

The consulting giant reportedly paid around $50 million for Iguazio, a Tel Aviv–based company offering an MLOps platform for large-scale businesses — “MLOps” refers to a set of tools to deploy and maintain machine learning models in production. In a press release, McKinsey says it plans to use the startup’s tech and team of 70 data scientists to bolster its QuantumBlack platform, McKinsey’s data analytics–focused group, with “industry-specific” AI solutions.

“We analyzed more than a 1,000 AI companies worldwide and identified Iguazio as the best fit to significantly accelerate our AI offering — from the initial concept to production, in a simplified, scalable and automated manner,” McKinsey senior partner Ben Ellencweig said in a statement. Over time, he added, the Iguazio and QuantumBlack teams will be fully integrated and work from a single product roadmap, combining the best of both worlds (with any luck).

HomoSEP, a robot to eliminate the practice of manual scavenging in India, developed by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, is all set for field deployment.

Plans are afoot to deploy 10 units across Tamil Nadu with researchers already establishing contact with sanitation workers to identify locations. According to a press release issued by IIT-M today, Gujarat and Maharashtra are also being considered for deployment.

This robot has been developed over the last several years by a team led by Professor Prabhu Rajagopal, Centre for Nondestructive Evaluation, IIT-M, faculty at the department of mechanical engineering and IIT-Madras-incubated startup Solinas Integrity Private Limited. The team has been in close touch with sanitation workers. Support for this team has come from the Safai Karamchari Andolan (SKA), an NGO dedicated to the elimination of manual scavenging, along with CSR partners—GAIL Foundation, CapGemini, NSE Foundation and L&T Technology Foundation.

Maintaining eye contact is crucial to establishing engagement and trust in a conversation. This can be challenging in a video conference because it requires participants to look at the camera instead of the screen. The NVIDIA Maxine Eye Contact feature creates an in-person experience for virtual meetings. Powered by AI, Maxine Eye Contact directs your eyes to a centered position to maintain eye contact with your audience. Eye Contact is available to developers through the Maxine Augmented Reality SDK at https://developer.nvidia.com/maxine#ar-sdk.
