Distance Assistant: Amazon’s AI camera system being used to monitor social distance in its warehouses

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, coronavirus, Deep Learning, machine learning, Rise Networks Community /

Amazon has unveiled its latest attempt to curb the spread of COVID-19 through its warehouses: an AI camera system known as the “Distance Assistant.” The cameras are connected to sensors that measure the distance between workers, and machine learning models that differentiate them from their surroundings. A 50-inch monitor tracks their movements, using visual overlays to show whether they’re within […]

data science for improved customer support

Data science and Machine Learning for improved customer support

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Big Data, Data Science, Deep Learning, machine learning, Rise Networks Community /

This post explores three tricks that can be used for data science that can help solve real problems for customer support. Two for natural language processing in a customer support context and one for identifying attack Internet attack traffic. Through these examples, we hope to demonstrate how invaluable data processing tricks, visualisations and tools can

Open AI set to sell its text generator as an API

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, machine learning, Rise Networks Community /

OpenAI once withheld its text generator for fear of misuse — but now wants to sell the tech as an enterprise product. The company is releasing an application programming interface (API) for accessing new AI models developed by its researchers — including GPT-3, its latest text generator. It’s initially offering the API as a free, two-month private

Our near sentient algorithms are devolving

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, machine learning, Rise Networks Community /

Is my car hallucinating? Is the algorithm that runs the police surveillance system in my city paranoid? Marvin the android in Douglas Adams’s Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy had a pain in all the diodes down his left-hand side. Is that how my toaster feels? This all sounds ludicrous until we realize that our algorithms are increasingly

IBM would no longer offer facial recognition technology for mass surveillance

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Rise Networks Community /

IBM said yesterday that it won’t offer or develop general-purpose facial recognition technology to encourage responsible usage of tech by law enforcement. The company has been a big player in the field for years offering several solutions. In a letter to Congress, IBM’s CEO, Arvind Krishna, addressed the deaths of George Floyd, Ahmaud Arbery, and Breonna

EU privacy watchdog raise doubts over Clearview AI operations

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Rise Networks Community /

Clearview AI’s planned expansion into the EU hit a roadblock yesterday when the bloc’s privacy watchdog said it “doubts” that the service is legal. The European Data Protection Board (EDPB) said that the use of the service by law enforcement would “likely not be consistent with the EU data protection regime.” The body added that it

The dark matter of computer vision

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Rise Networks Community /

What makes us humans so good at making sense of visual data? That’s a question that has preoccupied artificial intelligence and computer vision scientists for decades. Efforts at reproducing the capabilities of human vision have so far yielded results that are commendable but still leave much to be desired. Our current artificial intelligence algorithms can detect objects

Ethical AI and the importance of guidelines for algorithms

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, Rise Networks Community /

In October, Amazon had to discontinue an artificial intelligence–powered recruiting tool after it discovered the system was biased against female applicants. In 2016, a ProPublica investigation revealed a recidivism assessment tool that used machine learning was biased against black defendants. More recently, the US Department of Housing and Urban Development sued Facebook because its ad-serving algorithms enabled advertisers to discriminate based

5 ways AI can be used as a ‘bad apple detector’ for cops

Leave a Comment / Artificial Intelligence, fourthindustrialrevolution, Rise Networks Community /

When an apple begins to rot it creates a chemical called ethylene. If that apple happens to be in a barrel with a bunch of other apples, and the rotting causes its skin to break, the ethylene will immediately cause the other apples to start rotting. That’s why the proverb “one bad apple spoils the bunch”
