Editor's Notes
- #3: Joanna’s quote resonated with me.
- #4: Work with us, as in Copilot How my sister uses Midjourney and Dall-E, where I use Claude and ChatGPT. Assistants for software, retail websites and such
- #5: I remember when Big Data and Block Chain was supposed to replace us too Might be different tech, but the concept is the same. They are tools that are part of the solution, not the only solution.
- #6: First two, yes. Customer Experience, good and bad. Scalability and Cost Reduction- nope. Oracle, Google, AWS and Azure are all working to build nuclear data centers to support the resource needs of AI. Cost Reduction: Look at the price for AI projects and the cost of GPU related hardware. Nvidia stock looking good right now.
- #8: Bias – AI LLMs are trained by human beings, using human data, which often results in bias The black box that AI is, especially when embedded. There is a desire for it to be viewed as self-contained, so no sources may be listed as part of AI to demonstrate how AI came up with the answers it has. Final decisions without the understanding how AI came up with decisions or data can be detrimental to the believability of data.
- #9: AI is not conscious, it is a tool that we use.
- #10: Further laws to be aware of: Federal Aviation Administration Reauthorization Act which requires review of all AI in aviation. National Defense Authorization ACT as of 2019, which appointed a coordinator to oversee all AI activities involving defense contracts. The NAIIA focused on expanding AI research and dev. It’s supposed to oversee and implement the US National AI strategy, but many concern that political and financial interests have overtaken the committee. Various state legislation, including Colorado, California, Connecticut and Texas. Over 85 bills are currently being reviewed.
- #17: From one species POC, then was able to train models for other species to incorporate into the system.
- #18: Wildlife populations have shrunk by an estimated 60% in the last 40 years--- Identification in days vs. months. Each survey area can have over 100 cameras A single camera trap can record images for up to 6 months Around 60 images a day, for up to 10K images per device. System analyzes over 1 million images a day, including the elimination of blank images.
- #26: Over 2400 Firefighters were injured in the UK in 2023. 179K forest fires in the UK and 9K forest fires in the UK for 2023 In 2023, wildfires in Europe burned approximately 500,000 hectares (5,000 square kilometers) of land, making it the fourth largest wildfire season on record in the European Union.
- #27: In the US, the number was 2.5 million major forest fires and 60K firefighters were injured. Per the National Fire Protection Association. Just in Maui, 2200 homes and 100 lives were lost. Over 100 firefighters also lost so far in 2024.
- #29: Climate modeling to improve predictions of weather patterns and extreme events. AI used to implement response strategies in high-risk areas. AI used to optimize power grids and balance renewable energy inputs with demand. AI is used to track pollution and perform urban planning. Monitor air quality and sustainability. Plan out viable agriculture for long term use and eliminate land erosion, reduce waste and minimize emissions.
- #30: Help with sea level changes- AI can measure 10K times faster how icebergs are melting in the world. Space Intelligence, a company in Scotland has worked with other countries to map more than 1 mil hectares of land from space. Grey Parrot AI software analyzes waste processing and recycling facilities to help them recycle more effectively. The company tracked 32 billion waste items across 67 waste categories in just 2022 that currently are just sent to a landfill! A Netherlands company, The Ocean Cleanup, has AI that detects objects in detailed maps of ocean litter in remote locations, making it easier to track and remove.
- #32: Data is essential for AI, but, there’s also Better algorithms with removal of more bias as its identified. Natural Language Process (NLP) which makes AI more inclusive Computer vision to interpret from visual data Robotics to perform tasks autonomously Expert systems which offers guidance from human experts Various Machine learning, such as: Supervised Learning Unsupervised Reinforcement Learning Deep Learning Feature Engineering to improve ML Models Model Evaluation to assess quality and performance of ML Models Deployment and Monitoring during the process of integration of ML models.
- #35: That graveyard is going to get pretty packed. Less is more concept Fewer “we need AI” in everything scenarios Data security will become a huge issue.
- #36: Why did you give me A-Z, I just needed the choices of A, B and C What is AI? Expect new sub-definitions of AI, just as we see currently trending with: Generative AI Natural Language
