Perspective: The risk that AI poses to religious freedom

#artificialintelligence

We frequently hear in the 21st century that data is the new oil. Those who controlled oil flows in the 1970s had a near stranglehold on the global economy. Today, those who hold data might well control the new economy. Data, however, is diffuse, hard to track and nearly impossible to regulate, which could have unparalleled implications for human rights and religious freedom. Big data companies have poured billions into research to bring technology and data into direct contact with us every day through artificial intelligence.


Mairabot: A student-built robot in Nigeria

Al Jazeera

When COVID-19 hit, an enterprising group of pupils in Abuja, Nigeria, used their robotics class to design and build a simple robot to cut down on interpersonal contact in hospitals. Using only scraps they found around the classroom, they each contributed to the ideas, concept, mechanics and AI elements of their robot "Mairabot" – which earned praise from health officials and their teachers alike. Mairabot, by filmmaker Philip Okpokoro, introduces us to Nabila Abbas and her fellow students in this short, inspiring film. Philip Okpokoro is a Nigerian director and cinematographer with an impressive record in both documentary and live TV directing. He has directed a wide array of film projects from high-end live TV to intimate documentaries for global broadcasters, and has been awarded for best director of photography.

Sparse Matrices: Why They Matter for Machine Learning and Data Science

#artificialintelligence

When representing data using a matrix, we can quantify the number of empty values it contains. This is referred to as its sparsity. A matrix (or dataset) that mostly contains 0s is called a sparse matrix. Suppose you ask 4 of your friends to give you a rating of 4 different movies from 1 to 5 (0 if they have not seen it). This means that John has not seen movies 1, 2 and 4 but gave the 3rd one a rating of 2. The sparsity matrix of this matrix is low - 38 % to be precise (6 zeroes out of 16 values 3/8 sparsity) and we would actually call it a "dense" matrix.

Pathr.ai Announces Integration with Hanwha Techwin America to Bring Spatial Intelligence Technology to the Security Industry

#artificialintelligence

ORLANDO, Fla., April 24, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Retail Asset Protection Conference, Orlando, Booth #RIC-11 – Pathr.ai, the industry's first and only Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered Spatial Intelligence platform, announced today it is working with Hanwha Techwin America, a global supplier of video surveillance solutions, to jointly deliver spatial intelligence solutions to current and prospective customers. This integration allows Pathr.ai to engage with Hanwha on new and cross-sell opportunities, including supporting camera installations with Pathr.ai "Working with Hanwha is a great step towards scaling our spatial intelligence solution to new and existing customers and delivering strong ROI to them," said Alan Flohr, Chief Revenue Officer of Pathr.ai. "Companies can use their existing non-PTZ Hanwha security cameras, such as the Hanwha Wisenet P series, X series, L series, and Q series, to collect meaningful and real-time insights into how people move and interact inside their physical spaces and tie those analytics to business decisions that improve profitability." AI-powered spatial intelligence technology integrates with existing camera infrastructure and delivers real-time behavioral insights to companies, delivering a 10x or greater return on investment.
