Using AI To Detect Guns

Actuate claims “99%+ accuracy and minimal false positives”.  The intersection of technology and guns very much interests me.  I’m sure we’ll see more and more of this type of system deployed within large companies and within city surveillance.  Regardless of if it actually saves any lives, it will definitely look good on paper to a lot of decision makers.  The above video states that Actuate technology is deployed in nearly 20,000 cameras across the country.

Destin from Smarter Everyday did a cool video on this same type of thing a while back.

Thoughts?

Robotics Guy Sort Of Makes Google Assistant Fire A Gun

Naturally, idiots lost their minds over this:

“OH NO ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WILL KILL US ALL” they yelled.  Engadget talked to Alexander Reben (the guy who did this); and found out he used a control relay that usually turns on a lamp, linked it to a Google Home speaker, then connected a laundromat change-dispensing solenoid to pull a string that looped around the trigger.  Yea so not exactly a simple drop in solution intended to be added to all your guns.

It was only a matter of time before someone did this. Can you imagine if he would have used an AR-15 instead of a BB gun? Since I like when the anti-gun beehive gets poked, I actually kind of wish he did 😂.

Kalashnikov Makes Smart Machine Learning Gun Turret

You gon’ learn today:

Cool stuff.  I expect we’ll be seeing a lot more of this type of thing down the road.  Artificial intelligence is definitely the future.

From the description:

“Our neural network has been designed so that it learns to look for potential targets. It highlights it [the target] out of multitude of things it sees. Then, understanding it is a potential target, the neural network can make a decision on how to act,”
