From electronic personal assistants to home automation. Speech recognition is taking centre stage in how we interface with technology. Voice commands and prompts are now a major part of our day to day lives.

What is the technology behind voice recognition systems and what other applications can we use this technology for.

To help understand this issues better, we are joined on Skype by Sydney Butler. Sydney Butler currently works as an instructional technologist at Unisa. His interests include (but are not limited to) Cyber-Psychology, eLearning, information technology, communication, digital business models, human-machine interaction, the philosophy of science and the social impact and aspects of technology.

In this discussion, we ask what is the technology behind voice recognition? what other things can we use this technology for? He, later on, speaks about Artificial Intelligence which is defined as the programming of a software to change itself.He said Intelligence is taking random information, finding a conclusion from that information than making a decision. We also find out what is the link between Artificial Intelligence and Cloud Computing.

The court date for the trial between Waymo and Uber is now set for 2 October 2017. So much has happened since our last coverage of the story . We are once again joined by Leon Kaye , a business writer, and strategic communications specialist based in Fresno, California, to get an update, as we try to dissect the story further. In this episode, we start by recapping on the status of the Waymo versus Uber case and get an update of what transpired since Episode four , when we last spoke to Mr. Kaye. We then take a quick detour and discuss two American legal instruments, i.e. jury trial, and deposition. We enquire if it’s possible to get a technically competent jury of your peers, in a highly technical case such as the one between Waymo and Uber. One other US legal instrument I thought of getting some understanding on was the idea of deposition. Seeing that Uber has managed to depose Alphabet’s Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Larry Page, who is without a doubt one of the most influential people in the world today. What does deposing him mean and what bearing will this deposition have on Alphabet and its stock? The trial is set to begin in October 2017, is it going to be a big media frenzy and spectacle, that has all of us glued to news feeds and timelines? At the end of the conversation, we speak, about the future of Uber and its culture, beyond its former CEO, Travis Kalanick? We further discuss the sustainability of ride sharing businesses, and their current business model and pricing structure. I then pose a purely speculative question about the potential of Amazon acquiring Uber, since the company(Amazon) is now on a growth trajectory. Thanks to Leon Kaye for always sharing his valuable insights and thoughts with us.…

It looks like self-driving cars are coming sooner than we expected. There are at least 5 companies that are most likely to bring self-driving cars, amongst them are Apple, Volvo, and Google. Google has invested massive amounts of money in self-driving cars. Google has a competitor that proves to be difficult to just push away Uber. Reports coming from the US indicate that Waymo has launched a suit against Uber, alleging that Uber is using its intellectual property stolen by one of the Google’s former employees. In this episode, we are joined by Mr. Leon Kaye who is a business writer, strategic communication specialist based in California. In his opinion, unpacks for us what might have happened between these two companies. He says according to Google they had an engineer who downloaded their trade secrets mostly related to laser technology which in simple terms the way in which the self-driving cars will work. When the engineer left Google he launched a start-up, which was later purchased by Uber.…
 
In 2014 the ZA Central Registry undertook a journey to register the DOT-Africa global Top Level Domain (gTLD) with the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers ICANN. The bid to register and control the DOT-Africa gTLD was also contested by DotConnectAfrica (DCA), an entity registered in Kenya. ICANN awarded the rights to operate the DOT-Africa gTLD to ZA Central Registry in 2015. However, following ICANN’s decision and announcement DCA launched a motion to challen ge the decision. The challenge took the whole of 2015 and 2016. In December 2016 DCA’s first Motion for Preliminary Injunction was denied by a California Superior Court. On 9 February 2017, ICANN announced that a California Superior Court has denied DCA’s second Motion for Preliminary Injunction to stop the delegation of the DOT-AFRICA gTLD to ZA Central Registry. Soon afterwards on 15 February 2017, the DOT-Africa gTLD went live for the first time. This spelt out a new dawn for the continent of Africa and her people. In this edition of the Tech Report, we talk about the DOT-Africa gTLD with the CEO of ZA Central Registry, Mr Lucky Masilela, who take us on a journey on how they got here with the team.…
