Latest Data Updates: Highlights in Information Technology News
In the ever-evolving world of technology, Artificial Intelligence (AI) continues to make significant strides, with numerous applications across various sectors.
A notable example is the AI system developed by the German chat community Knuddels, in collaboration with high-ranking German security authorities. This system, designed to proactively identify and block harmful content related to child abuse, employs a combination of linguistic pattern recognition and advanced AI, enabling it to identify and neutralise harmful content in real time.
Across the Atlantic, DeepMind, a leading AI research company, has been making waves with its AI system. Trained using data from Kinetics-600, a dataset of 500,000 10-second long YouTube clips, this system has the capability to generate coherent and novel 256 x 256-pixel videos. Remarkably, after as little as 12 hours of training, it can create videos featuring recognizable moving objects, such as a person skiing on a mountain.
In the realm of hardware, Intel has joined the race with AI chips that can process certain types of data up to 1,000 times faster than general-purpose chips.
Moving on to healthcare, a machine-learning algorithm has shown promise in predicting patient rehospitalization and mortality following a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). With a 90 percent probability of correctly predicting 30-day readmissions and an 88 percent probability of correctly predicting death within 180 days, this algorithm could revolutionise patient care and management.
On the law enforcement front, UK police are leveraging AI to process 200 images per minute of child abuse material, a significant increase from the previous rate of 18 images per minute. Moreover, the AI system used by UK police matches faces and locations across a database of 13 million images, aiding in the identification and apprehension of offenders.
Lastly, Google is collaborating with the Trevor Project to develop an AI system that predicts a teenager's suicide risk. This development, while still in its early stages, holds the potential to save countless lives by providing early intervention and support.
These advancements underscore the transformative power of AI, with its applications spanning from child protection to healthcare and law enforcement, and even mental health support. As we move forward, it is clear that AI will continue to reshape our world in profound ways.
