Perth City Council has reportedly been filming and tracking people moving around parts of the city without their knowledge. In what the council calls a trial, a network of 30 cameras with facial recognition technology have been deployed across East Perth. This has quietly gone on for six months. The cameras use deep-learning artificial intelligence (AI) to recognise faces and vehicles, and to count passing people – a form of population control which China widely employs, and is criticised for by human rights groups. But in Perth – the third Australian city to invest in the technology – many residents were unaware of the trial before it started.

Along with their itchy bites, they spread serious diseases, like malaria, dengue or zika, which, as Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates has pointed out, kill more people every day than sharks have managed to do in an entire century. A Yale report released last year also suggests that climate change is going to make the problem worse. So, having early detection systems to promptly deploy preventive controls is crucial to protecting people. The Institute of Agrifood Research and Technology (IRTA) in Catalonia, Spain, has started to use artificial intelligence (AI), sensors, and satellite communications to automate the process of trapping mosquitoes and classifying them according to species, sex, age, and their potential for causing infection. Traps are not a new control technique.

Applications are invited for two University Lectureships in the broad area of Machine Learning and/or Computer Vision. The successful candidate will join the Information Engineering Division which includes the Computational and Biological Learning Laboratory and the Machine Intelligence Laboratory. The candidate will lead a research programme in one or more of the following areas: Machine Learning, Decision Making, and Computer Vision. We encourage applicants who will strengthen our current research activities in probabilistic machine learning, reinforcement learning, supervised and unsupervised learning, object recognition and detection, segmentation, tracking, and all aspects of machine intelligence. These positions have been funded in part by a generous contribution from Toyota Motor Corporation.

A Baidu Apollo autonomous vehicle is on display during the 2nd Digital China Summit & Exhibition at ... [ ] Fuzhou Strait International Conference & Exhibition Center on last year in Fuzhou, Fujian Province of China. As the technology dawned, the predictions were stunning: one 2015 prediction forecast that autonomous vehicles would be piloting humans around U.S. cities in significant numbers as soon as 2018. But here we are in 2020 and AVs have barely shown themselves in the United States, while other countries--notably China--are threatening to take the lead. "Even the manufacturers have taken a much more careful view of it, a much more calculated view in the United States," said Jerry Quandt, executive director of the Illinois Autonomous Vehicle Association, "but we are seeing it happening in China, and there are cities where 20 percent of the vehicles they have on the road are autonomous." It's not entirely clear where the two countries stand in relation to technology development.

Imagine an underwater drone armed with nuclear warheads and capable of operating autonomously. Now imagine that drone has lost its way and wandered into another state's territorial waters. Russia aims to field just such a drone by 2027, CNBC reported last year, citing those familiar with a U.S. intelligence assessment. Known as Poseidon, the drone will be nuclear-armed and nuclear-powered. While the dynamics of artificial intelligence and machine learning, or ML, research remain open and often collaborative, the military potential of AI has intensified competition among great powers.

The Directorate of Science Technology and Innovations (DSTI) and the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to continue collaboration on applied artificial intelligence for governance, entrepreneurship, and social good. The MoU signed in Freetown last week provides a framework of cooperation and collaboration for both institutions to contribute to the successful implementation of the National Innovation and Digital Strategy (NIDS), especially in areas of common interest. In October 2019, the UNDP Country Lab also known as the Accelerator Lab for Sierra Leone was launched to examine and explore emerging untapped resources to speedup national SDG performance. The UNDP Accelerator Labs are a network of 60 labs serving 78 countries with the collective aim of finding new evidence-based approaches to problem-solving with the use of artificial intelligence, testing, mapping, and experimentation. "DSTI and UNDP have been engaging since Day 1. However, this particular agreement focuses on how we can continue to make significant inroads in the implementation of the National Innovation and Digital Strategy," said Dr. Moinina David Sengeh.
