Daily Crunch: Facebook cancels F8 over coronavirus concerns

Coronavirus fears prompt even more event cancellations, controversial facial recognition software is being used widely and DocuSign acquires Seal Software. Here’s your Daily Crunch for February 28, 2020.

1. Facebook cancels F8 conference, citing coronavirus concerns

Facebook has confirmed that it has canceled its annual F8 developers conference over growing concerns about the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic. More specifically, the company says it’s canceling the “in-person component” — there may still be video presentations, along with live-streamed and local events, under the F8 umbrella.

At the same time, companies, including Microsoft, are pulling out of the Game Developers Conference over similar concerns. And the Geneva Motor Show was just canceled.

2. Clearview said its facial recognition app was only for law enforcement as it courted private companies

After claiming that it would only sell its controversial facial recognition software to law enforcement agencies, a new report in BuzzFeed News suggests that Clearview AI is less than discerning about its client base, and has in fact shopped its technology far and wide.

3. DocuSign acquires Seal Software for $188M to enhance its AI chops

Seal Software was founded in 2010, and, while it may not be a mainstream brand, its customers include the likes of PayPal, Dell, Nokia and DocuSign itself. (DocuSign previously invested in the company, too.) These businesses use Seal for its contract management tools, but also for its analytics, discovery and data extraction services.

4. Senate passes ‘rip and replace’ bill to remove old Huawei and ZTE equipment from networks

Written as a response to recent concerns around Chinese hardware manufacturers, the bill would ban purchase of telecom equipment from embattled Chinese manufactures like Huawei and ZTE. It also includes $1 billion in funding to help smaller rural telecoms “rip and replace” existing equipment from specific manufacturers.

5. The world Bob Iger made

The Disney executive has been openly thinking about retirement and searching for a successor — a search that culminated in this week’s announcement that he’d be stepping down from the CEO role immediately. But Iger’s succession planning hasn’t stopped him from solidifying Disney’s dominance of the entertainment business, a position designed to last long after his departure. (Extra Crunch membership required.)

6. ‘Robot’ was coined 100 years ago, in a play predicting human extinction by android hands

Published 100 years ago, R.U.R. (Rossum’s Universal Robots) by Czech writer Karel Čapek is best remembered for bringing the word “robot” to sci-fi — and English, generally.

7. Catching up with Startup Battlefield

We’re trying out something new: As you (hopefully) know, TechCrunch hosts a number of Startup Battlefield events, and afterwards, those startups often go on to do interesting and newsworthy things. But there are so many Battlefield alumni at this point that we can’t cover every announcement. So occasionally, I’ll be rounding them up here.

This week, we’ve got news from Berlin 2019 competitor Nodle.io, which is crowdsourcing the connectivity of smart sensors by offloading the task to smartphones. And Nodle announced this week that it has acquired Internet-of-Things security company Brickchain.com.

By Raj S JoshiThe Covid-19 crisis presents an opportunity for bold reforms, not just in infrastructure, regulations and local economies, but also in governance. And this can be implemented via a strategic view and push to use information technology (IT) in governance. This not only means using our technological prowess, but also the need to take a wider view of state and central functions, sharing best practices among states, Centrestate cooperation, and a drive towards making governance more efficient, effective and accountable.As a term, e-governance has been mostly used in India for citizen service deliveries at central and state levels with a focus on activities rather than on outcomes, except for examples like passport services. Many states like Karnataka, Gujarat, Telangana and Andhra Pradesh have made good strides in some areas. But most states have suboptimal systems. Most services like healthcare, vehicle licences, industrial approvals, law and order, electricity and water are delivered by states. Their e-delivery is manifested by poor website designs and user navigation, less focus on smooth user experience, improving high page load times and errors, patchy multilingual features, inadequate data and IT systems security, lack of robust architectures, integration of related services, etc.A comparison of healthcare websites for Madhya Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra was conducted and gaps were clearly visible. Lack of interoperable data has been a problem in the battle against Covid-19.Data-gathering exercises conducted once in every 10 years are inadequate in today’s times for policymaking, and are prone to being used as political fodder. Citizen services delivery data can be standardised and made reusable across India for policymaking more effectively in real time.If granular data of workforce in the informal and formal sectors, through their use of government services with an architecturedriven approach, was available, one could have modelled and foreseen the plight that migrant workers continue to face during lockdown. We need to plan bold steps, like defining key strategic projects at the central level in customs, ports and national transport systems, agricultural markets and public distribution systems (PDS) integration, defence, education, telemedicine, legal services, etc. Key outcome goals can be revenue increase, leakage prevention, contract process efficiency, turnaround time and cost control. We need to leverage principles of enterprise and data architecture, reuse IT systems across states, set cybersecurity standards, interoperability, artificial intelligence (AI), an outcome and key performance indicators (KPI)-driven approach and, over time, link to financial devolution formulae.This will also help drive the adoption of key technologies like AI, blockchain, 5G and Industry 4.0 where India has been performing below potential, especially for a country of its technological prowess, population and its data, goods and services tax (GST) network and JAM (Jan Dhan, Aadhaar, mobile).Our blockchain policy is currently crypto-centric, lacking balance with the smart contracts paradigm. Poor health of most telecom companies has impacted India’s 5G plans. Industry 4.0 is yet to reach most of the manufacturing sector. Mistrust remains between startups and government. There is an urgent need to look at India’s technology agenda in a holistic way. The ongoing Covid-19 damage control exercise may be the best time to start it.(The writer is former member, National Working Committee of Electronics and Computer Export Promotion Council) from Economic Times https://ift.tt/3eeMVxd

Last week, Trump signed an executive order that enabled the federal government to prohibit U.S. companies from buying telecom equipment from foreign companies at their discretion.

This week, the full damage began to feel apparent to China’s fastest-growing smartphone powerhouse, Huawei. American companies, at the behest of Trump and company, began turning on the Chinese giant, and what they’re stripping away will undoubtedly impact Huawei in a material way. Huawei may soon have to deal without simple, little things like — I don’t know — access to the non-open-sourced version of Android or possibly the prevailing chip architectures in modern smartphones, or Google’s app store.Here are some of the parties at play that may be leaving Huawei by the wayside. ARM. Intel, Qualcomm, Xilinx and Broadcom. Google.

Basically, the past week has stripped away decades of the American smartphone technology backbone and ensured that Huawei is going to have to DIY its future success in these arenas. The ban was placed, officially, because the U.S. government didn’t want America being placed at risk of espionage, but it’s also a clear move in escalating trade war tensions.

Shoot me tips or feedback on Twitter @lucasmtny or email [email protected]

What hangs in the balance is more than just Huawei’s imminent business health, but the fact that China and the U.S. can start taking aim against each other’s tech giants as uniform trade war chess moves. This week it’s Huawei, but if the perfect deal lingers, could Apple be next?

Trends of the week

Here are a few big news items from big companies, with green links to all the sweet, sweet added context.

Apple tries another fix for its failing keyboard design Apple’s butterfly keyboards have been one of the biggest product embarrassments for the company since the Apple Maps launch, but after already having made design changes that weren’t completely effective, Apple is giving it another go. They’ve made the bold call of not actually saying what it fixed, but the folks at iFixit tore down the new machines and the changes look minimal.

Oculus bets the VR farm Facebook’s VR promises haven’t quite delivered over the past few years, but this week the company started shipping the Oculus Rift S and, more importantly, the Oculus Quest, which is the best product it has made by far. Whether its quality is enough to bring people into headsets for $399 a pop is a very good question though.

Kumbaya OUYA Here’s a blast from the past; the OUYA, a $99 open Android gaming system that was one of Kickstarter’s biggest successes ever, is officially dying. The shell of the seven-year-old operation had already been acquired by Razer, but now the OUYA Store itself is sunsetting. Read more about its impending death here.

GAFA Gaffes

How did the top tech companies screw up this week? This clearly needs its own section, in order of awfulness:

Google commits a cardinal data storage sin: [Google says some G Suite user passwords were stored in plaintext since 2005]

EU data regulator takes aim at Google’s adtech: [Google’s lead EU regulator opens formal privacy probe of its adtech]

EU gets angry at Facebook too: [Facebook found hosting masses of far-right EU disinformation networks]

EU study showcases Facebook still has a lot of work to do in protecting elections: [Facebook still a great place to amplify pre-election junk news EU study finds]

Google isn’t keeping a close enough eye on its ad empire: [Google updates ad policies following report on misleading anti-abortion ads]

Extra Crunch

Our premium subscription service had another week of interesting deep dives. I added another great interview to my series “The Exit,” where I profiled Jeremy Uzan, a Parisian VC who was an early investor in Drivy, on which Getaround just dropped $300 million. We talked a bit about the future of car ownership and a lot about SoftBank’s king-making abilities.

The Exit: Getaround’s $300M roadtrip

“So right now, there are two kinds of VCs. You have the smart ones, but that’s not me. I’m more the gut-feeling guy. I have to feel that the team is interesting, smart, ambitious, like they’re the smartest people in the room and they’re working on something interesting.”

Here are some of our other top reads this week for premium subscribers. This week TechCrunch writers talked a bit about Huawei, a bit about AI and a bit about love…
