Next step in social media service with artificial intelligence from DigitalGenius
AMSTELVEEN, The Netherlands and SAN FRANCISCO, Dec 20 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- KLM Royal Dutch Airlines is taking the next step in using artificial intelligence (AI) within its social media service. KLM worked with AI frontrunner, DigitalGenius, to add automated answers to general repetitive questions from customers without the intervention of a human service agent. This gives KLM agents more time to focus on questions in conversations with customers that require a human approach. KLM is the first airline to offer a combination of human agents and artificial intelligence in a single conversation on Twitter, Messenger and WhatsApp. KLM receives over 130,000 mentions via social media per week. This number has grown since the introduction of WhatsApp as a service channel. A dedicated team of 250 social media service agents personally engages in 30,000 conversations each week. On average, conversations consist of five or six questions and answers between KLM and its customers. Questions that can be answered automatically with the use of artificial intelligence usually come at the beginning of the conversation. http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=30826 EASTSPRING INVESTMENTS BERHAD DECLARES UNIT SPLIT FOR EASTSPRING INVESTMENTS DINASTI EQUITY FUND20/12/2017 KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 20 (Bernama) -- Eastspring Investments Berhad today announced a 2:1 unit split for existing unit holders of the Eastspring Investments Dinasti Equity Fund (“Fund”).

The Chinese life reinsurance market, meanwhile, has doubled its premium size since 2012 but must deal with heightened capital pressure, according to a new A.M. Best special report.
The Best’s Special Report, titled, “Reinsurance in China: Underwriting Challenges for Non-Life, Capital Pressure for Life,” states that many of the issues challenging non-life reinsurers have resulted from the implementation of the China Risk-Oriented Solvency System (C-ROSS). A glut of reinsurance capacity and growing retention by the direct industry pose clear threats to reinsurers’ profitability. In addition, the oligopolistic structure of the direct market gives large cedents more bargaining power not only on pricing, but also on terms and conditions, which has squeezed profit margins even further. For growth, non-life reinsurers are looking at Belt and Road initiatives and captive insurers, as well as potential business arising from the second phase of C-ROSS. http://mrem.bernama.com/viewsm.php?idm=30806 TOKYO, Dec 14 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) -- Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation has added "TCB001FNG", a new surface-mount product, to its line-up of 4-channel power IC. Based on IC achievements for car audio secured over many years, the new power IC is configured with a pure complementary MOS process. Mass production starts today.
Like current products[1], the new IC uses Toshiba Electronic Devices & Storage Corporation’s original filtering technology to detect and suppress high frequency noise from sources as diverse as mobile phones and electric door mirrors. The package is a flat type HSSOP, which allows surface mounting. In conventional car audio IC products, a lead insertion type of HZIP package is widely used. However, recent years have seen the promotion of surface mount type packages, particularly in the market of genuine products. Adoption of surface mount package, securely positioned with reflow soldering, increases system reliability and the performance of car audio.
