Microsoft: A new Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform was launched this Wednesday (4) to facilitate actions to prevent and combat deforestation in the Amazon rainforest. The PrevisIA tool, developed by Microsoft, the Amazon Institute of Man and Environment (Imazon) and the Vale Fund, anticipates information on regions susceptible to deforestation and fires. The algorithm analyzes data on topography, land cover and legal and illegal roads in satellite images, to find risks of felling trees or fire and inform public agencies to carry out prevention and combat actions. Alerts generated by the platform are also open to the public on an initiative's dashboard. Microsoft Azure cloud capabilities and Imazon's AI algorithm to detect roads helped improve the deforestation risk model to identify territories most threatened by deforestation in the Amazon, such as Indigenous Lands and Conservation Units.

Warzone: Last Thursday (8), Activision, responsible for the successful Call of Duty: Warzone, began taking action against a complex threat that is becoming popular among malicious players. The case is a "universal" scam, capable of working on any platform or game through artificial intelligence and machine learning. The software was denounced by the Anti-Cheat Police Department (ACPD) group this week on Twitter and it did not take long to reverberate among Activision fans. The trailer to promote the show used the recent Call of Duty: Black Ops – Cold War as a basis to illustrate its capabilities. Despite being quite interesting, the technology presented in the trailer works as a disincentive for the arrival of new players not only in Warzone, but in any other competitive shooter franchise, such as Apex Legends or Valorant.

In August, the US government announced the release of $ 1 billion in financing to ensure "that the United States continues to lead the world in artificial intelligence and quantum computing," according to US chief technology officer Michael Kratsios. It seems that the money came too late: for the first time, China surpassed the US in number of AI patents, with more than 110,000 applications filed last year. The news was given by the deputy head of the Chinese Academy of Cyberspace Studies, Li Yuxiao at a press conference on the 23rd, during the 7th World Internet Conference (WIC). "China is strengthening its independence in information technology on the Internet," he said, without mentioning how many AI patents have been registered by the United States. During the event, two studies were presented on Chinese efforts to develop the internal digital economy.

Researchers have developed it using artificial intelligence to improve scooter navigation. Scooters now understand where pedestrians are and what obstacles await the person driving. Artificial intelligence support is coming to scooters! European electric scooter company Voi has added an artificial intelligence algorithm to its device to enable vehicles to detect pedestrians and pavements. Engineers have stated that they are confident that this method will improve chaotic traffic patterns in many cities around the world.

The research company Capgemini investigated how artificial intelligence affects sectoral life. Research shows that 60 percent of companies that make decisions on artificial intelligence have gone through a legal review process. The research also reveals what kind of artificial intelligence systems consumers want. Capgemini, a consultancy company based in France, conducted a research on the reflection of artificial intelligence on the sectors. Research has revealed that 90 percent of companies that start using artificial intelligence-supported systems face various ethical problems.

Artificial Intelligence can facilitate crimes and even terrorism in at least 20 different ways in the next 15 years. According to a study by University College London (UCL), in England, the technology can pose a great threat when used, for example, in fraud and smear campaigns. Through AI, experts predict the rise and popularization of deepfakes increasingly indistinguishable from reality. In addition to being complex to detect and prevent, this type of technique could lead to a generalized discrediting of audio and video evidence as a means of understanding an event. Fake videos and audios could, for example, accelerate smear campaigns against public figures, such as political opponents in the midst of elections.

A new Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithm, developed by scientists at the University of Hong Kong, can only create enormously realistic photos from sketch drawings. Researchers say the new algorithm can be used to identify suspects in police investigations. Despite the concerns of names like Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies continue to penetrate every aspect of our lives. AI, which has a place in many sectors including security, health, military, automotive and transportation, is becoming more and more powerful. According to the information reported by the website of New Scientist, Hongbo Fu and colleagues from the University of Hong Kong developed an algorithm that can instantly convert a very simple sketch drawing representing the face of a person into portrait photography.

Even the best photographers occasionally take blurred photos. This is probably not yours; It is the crime of the camera, the light or the wind that causes you to shake, but with the artificial intelligence developed, you no longer have to worry about blurry photos. A group of researchers from Duke University said that the latest algorithm developed outperformed other photo correction methods. Maybe you won't look different than you are, but the photos you take will be clearer than ever before. The tool was developed by Duke University researchers as a new approach to photo correction.

Artificial intelligence, which goes into every aspect of our lives, will also help us cope with the coronavirus pandemic. A new artificial intelligence aims to diagnose Covid-19 based on people's speeches. Coronavirus is one of the most frequently heard words in recent months. The disease, which has become a pandemic, has affected almost the whole world. Many people are trying to stop this outbreak and find a cure.

An artificial intelligence researcher has developed an artificial intelligence algorithm that can turn the human face into animal and then back to human form. It produces very fantastic results in the transformations of the artificial intelligence in question. We can say that we have reached exciting points in the images that can be created by artificial intelligence. New techniques developed in research laboratories provide more successful results in this field. A new AI algorithm that turns human faces into animals is evidence of this.
