Today's Story Highlights

Understanding the IP Policy Changes Coming to Amazon Sellers
Amazon is keenly interested in protecting the IP rights of its third-
party sellers because the company depends upon them for their long-term
success. In a recent newsletter to shareholders, Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos
explained that third-party sellers currently make up a majority of the
site's gross merchandise sales, with the share of revenue from third-
party sellers having grown to 58 percent.

Salesforce's Road to China
It was bound to happen. Salesforce was going to China at some point, and
it announced that action this week saying it was partnering with
Alibaba. There are so many ways to read this, but I don't have the
filters to resist comparing the announcement to what Robin Williams once
said about cocaine: "Cocaine is God's way of telling you you are making
too much money."

Square Opens Robotic Photo Studio for SMB Etailers
The newly launched Square Photo Studio leverages state-of-the-art
robotics to offer etailers professional-grade product photography. For
$10, clients can get three high-resolution, multi-angle digital photos
of a product. A spinning, interactive animation of the product -- which
site visitors can click and drag or zoom -- will cost $30. Clients can
highlight what they want the photographs to show.

Boost Your CRM With IaaS
CRM systems are the lifeblood of many businesses, and the volume of
customer data within them keeps growing as companies digitize more
processes. That data often is not being used to its full potential,
beyond basic reporting on sales metrics and marketing campaigns. With
the advent of mainstream machine learning and artificial intelligence
technologies, this is all changing, and quickly.

Equifax Data Breach Settlement No Wrist Slap
The United States Federal Trade Commission announced that Equifax has
agreed to pay a minimum of $575 million as part of a global settlement
of claims against it arising from a 2017 data breach that affected 147
million Americans. The settlement with the FTC, the Consumer Financial
Protection Bureau, and 50 states and territories potentially could reach
$700 million.

AI in Healthcare: Independent Living for Consumers
AI applied to healthcare includes a collection of technologies that
enable machines to sense, interpret, act and learn. AI implementations
for digital health can be relatively simple when they are focused
largely on personal patient engagement, or vastly complex when working
with big data sets, highly specialized diagnostics, and the workflows of
multiple highly complicated organizations.
