The Financial Times has a good article on how AI is changing the capabilities of video surveillance, with information from both Israel/Iran and Russia. I wrote about this sort of thing a few years ago, how AI enables mass spying in the way that computers and networks enabled mass surveillance. The interesting development in the article is that AI allows people to ask natural language questions about video footage to AIs—and AIs can answer them. In contrast with older tools restricted to a few dozen preset searches, these new tools allow an almost unlimited range of enquiries by enabling language-based searches on video...

Artificial intelligence is transforming what is possible in agriculture, but industry leaders should be wary of investing in AI without first laying the groundwork.

I am building alternative ways explore scientifc literature. The goal was to make the large number of papers published daily easier to keep up with by visualising the macro scopic trend. It is free to use at The Global Research Space for any one interested in giving it a try! How I built it I sourced the latest 11M papers from OpenAlex and Arxiv and ecoded them using SPECTER 2 on titles and abstracts then projecting it down to 2d using UMAP and creating labels within voronoi bounds around high density peaks at increasingly deep depths. There is also support for both keyword and semantic queries, and there's an analytics layer for ranking institutions, authors, and topics etc. I have also more recently added to ability to slide back and forth in time and a daily auto ingestion script to ensure the map is up to date. Feedback or suggestions is very welcome! submitted by /u/icannotchangethename [link] [留言]
