There is concern in the community that AI technology can get out of control?
AI systems can be taught to think just like a child. The material used to train it determines how it behaves. A computer system has no conscience or morality of its own. It reflects the prejudices and biases of those that provide it with training material.
In this era when the information universe is inundated with extremist views a computer system can be easily influenced to reflect and propagate those views.
However, this is not a reason to reject AI technology. It has the potential to provide significant benefits to humanity in many areas and our goal should be to harness the goodness that it can provide.
WildFaces announced the grant to encourage the positive use of AI and the response has been tremendous.
As is seen in the in the previous article our customers are already using multi-sensory AI to detect and prevent child abuse.
Projects have been proposed for improving the environment through better waste management. Local Government bodies want to detect garbage bins that overflow.
At major events, organizers want to improve the safety of people in crowds by preventing stampedes.
In aged Care facilities and hospitals people tend to slip and fall in the shower. Our AI system can raise the alarm and get help without compromising their privacy. These organizations are usually plagued by a shortage of staff. The AI system can significantly increase the productivity and effectiveness of the staff who are there.
Increasing the productivity of working people has its own benefits as this can justify higher personal rewards and help them lead more fulfilling lives.
In western society we take clean drinking water for granted. It is purified through processes such as chlorination. But chlorine itself can be very hazardous if released in the atmosphere. A Water Department has proposed a project for taking autonomous remedial action if there is a gas leak.
WildFaces positions itself as an Ethical AI company and the objective of this grant is to encourage the community to find new ways to use the technology for helping humanity rather than to hurt it.
WildFaces has done projects in 70 countries. Organisations in any of them are welcome to apply.
There rules and restrictions around the grant as we want to make sure that the grants are not misused. For more information contact: https://wildfaces.ai/contact/
