What impact did artificial intelligence have on our lives last year? Here are some examples of its use in different areas.
There were many examples last year where artificial intelligence (AI) was used in new industries or sectors, from medicine to transportation and communications. improving people’s lives.
The city of Verona in Italy is testing artificial intelligence sensors to relieve traffic congestion and improve road safety by the end of the year.
Smart sensors were installed at Porta Nuova, a busy intersection with five entrance and six exit lanes, in October to collect traffic data and transmit it to a hub. operations center powered by local servers.
The artificial intelligence system can: detecting different types of vehiclesspeeds and estimated arrival times.
There were also many innovative consumer technology From new smartphones to new computers using artificial intelligence.
One of the new uses for artificial intelligence is a ‘grandmother’ called Daisy who can waste people’s time. phone scammers.
The artificial intelligence chatbot was designed by British telecommunications company Virgin Media O2 to chat with scammers. customers don’t need to do this.
According to research by financial services company BDO, the total value of fraud in the UK will reach: Approximately 2,690 million euros in 2023This represents an increase of 104% compared to 2022.
Empowering artificial intelligence for people with disabilities
Developments in artificial intelligence technology in 2024 new doors opened to disabled people.
Experts believe emerging technologies like AI conversation transformation will increase accessibility to music.
The first K-Pop group’s debut hearing problems This became possible thanks to artificial intelligence voice transformation.
‘Big Ocean’ group made their recordings spoken and sung sounds and applied AI models to the guide recording to improve its tone and performances.
“When we heard the final version, it was incredibly moving on a personal level. We heard a lot of people who heard it agree.and he was so touched he even criedHans Choo, executive producer of South Korean music production company Muble, which offers the group the opportunity to work with artificial intelligence, spoke to ‘Euronews Next’ at the beginning of the year:
But experts say that although the future of technology is exciting, carries important responsibilitiesespecially in relation to the consequences of unequal access.
“As access to these technologies becomes more widespread, the gap between those who have access to them and those who do not increases. will increase rapidly“Ben Camp, professor of composition at Berklee College of Music, told Euronews Next in an email.
ADVERT“I hope Usability and accessibility “It is as important as development,” he said.
Researchers in Switzerland tested the prototype computer program in a laboratory in March. autonomous wheelchair.
Autonomous wheelchair developed by researchers across Europe Help disabled people cross the street with the help of a drone.
“The biggest challenge we face as a team and project consortium is that the components that make up the material part of the computer are available, but what we are missing is Computer program to control the system“Francesco Flammini, professor of autonomous systems safety at SUPSI, told Euronews Health.
ADVERTFlammini, an A.I.safe and responsible It is very important to develop an autonomous social navigation system such as a smart wheelchair.
The project is expected to be completed in September 2025 with a complete prototypeThere is likely to be further progress in the coming years, such as perfecting drone technology and creating a legal framework for their use in urban environments.
