Covering all the fundamental concepts of using ML models inside React Native applications, this is the most comprehensive React Native ML course available online. The important thing is you don't need to know background working knowledge of Machine learning and computer vision to use ML models inside React Native and train them. Starting from a very simple example course will teach you to use advanced ML models in your React Native ( Android & IOS) Applications. So after completing this course you will be able to use both simple and advanced Tensorflow lite models in your React Native( Android & IOS) applications. We will use React Native CLI but course will also guide you if you just have the expo knowledge.


Detroit police challenged over face recognition flaws, bias

#artificialintelligence

A Black man who was wrongfully arrested when facial recognition technology mistakenly identified him as a suspected shoplifter wants Detroit police to apologize -- and to end their use of the controversial technology. The complaint by Robert Williams is a rare challenge from someone who not only experienced an erroneous face recognition hit, but was able to discover that it was responsible for his subsequent legal troubles. The Wednesday complaint filed on Williams' behalf alleges that his Michigan driver license photo -- kept in a statewide image repository -- was incorrectly flagged as a likely match to a shoplifting suspect. Investigators had scanned grainy surveillance camera footage of an alleged 2018 theft inside a Shinola watch store in midtown Detroit, police records show. That led to what Williams describes as a humiliating January arrest in front of his wife and young daughters on their front lawn in the Detroit suburb of Farmington Hills.


Politicians fume after Amazon's face-recog AI fingers dozens of them as suspected crooks

#artificialintelligence

Amazon's online facial recognition system incorrectly matched pictures of US Congress members to mugshots of suspected criminals in a study by the American Civil Liberties Union. The ACLU, a nonprofit headquartered in New York, has called for Congress to ban cops and Feds from using any sort of computer-powered facial recognition technology due to the fact that, well, it sucks. Amazon's AI-powered Rekognition service was previously criticized by the ACLU when it revealed the web giant was aggressively marketing its face-matching tech to police in Washington County, Oregon, and Orlando, Florida. Rekognition is touted by the Bezos Bunch as, among other applications, a way to identify people in real time from surveillance camera footage or from officers' body cameras. The results from the ACLU's latest probing showed that Rekognition mistook images of 28 members of Congress for mugshots of cuffed people suspected of crimes.


Language from police body camera footage shows racial disparities in officer respect

@machinelearnbot

Police officers speak significantly less respectfully to black than to white community members in everyday traffic stops, even after controlling for officer race, infraction severity, stop location, and stop outcome. This paper presents a systematic analysis of officer body-worn camera footage, using computational linguistic techniques to automatically measure the respect level that officers display to community members. This work demonstrates that body camera footage can be used as a rich source of data rather than merely archival evidence, and paves the way for developing powerful language-based tools for studying and potentially improving police–community relations. Using footage from body-worn cameras, we analyze the respectfulness of police officer language toward white and black community members during routine traffic stops. We develop computational linguistic methods that extract levels of respect automatically from transcripts, informed by a thin-slicing study of participant ratings of officer utterances. We find that officers speak with consistently less respect toward black versus white community members, even after controlling for the race of the officer, the severity of the infraction, the location of the stop, and the outcome of the stop. Such disparities in common, everyday interactions between police and the communities they serve have important implications for procedural justice and the building of police–community trust. Over the last several years, our nation has been rocked by an onslaught of incidents captured on video involving police officers' use of force with black suspects.


Obama adviser suggests artificial intelligence might do a better job running the criminal justice system - Hot Air

#artificialintelligence

Those artificial intelligence programs being created by Google and other brain trusts are getting more clever by the day. When they're not beating game masters in a Go tournament they're composing new, original music. But leave it to the government to try to make the best use of new technology. We can't be satisfied with simply replacing our chess grand masters and Beyonce' with a snazzy new algorithm, so at least one expert in the Obama administration is pondering a new idea. Maybe they could replace judges in the courtroom. Artificial intelligence might soon become a standard part of criminal justice proceedings.
