How Visory turned cameras into sensors for AI-based traffic analytics in Dubai?

#artificialintelligence

Here at Visory we believe that the millions of cameras sitting idly around us, providing at most some emergency'after the fact' analysis or simple statistics capabilities at best, could be harnessed in a secure and safe way to create value from the images the cameras are seeing. There is so much unused yet valuable data out there that is simply not being harnessed to create value. What we are talking about are things like whether a car crash is going to happen or a crime might be committed for example. Visory is here to turn cameras into predictive sensors and turn these'dumb' devices into smart and helpful ones. During the beginning of 2020 Visory was selected by the Dubai Future Foundation as one of the companies to participate in a governmental project to provide smart monitoring systems for the Dubai Road and Transport Authority.


Artificial Intelligence aiding fight against coronavirus

#artificialintelligence

DUBAI: Four months into the battle against the latest strain of the coronavirus, it is clear that humanity must deploy all medical and technological tools at its disposal. Roughly half the global population has been placed on lockdown and billions of dollars are being poured into vaccine research, yet the total number of confirmed cases worldwide has hit the two million mark. With no sign of an imminent breakthrough, the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to speed up the search for an antidote to the coronavirus disease (COVID-19 is a no-brainer. In fact, scientific institutions and governments have already been harnessing AI to generate possible solutions to the global public-health emergency. Shameer Thaha, CSO at Accubits, a UAE-based AI and blockchain focused solutions and development company, says AI is playing a key role since day one of the fight against humanity's common foe.
