Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Supreme Solution : AI can simulate Third Degree

 


 

Context :

Ø  AI can create images from text, soon it might be making movie   /  TOI  /  06 July  2022

 

Extract :

Text to image AI will also potentially enable self – generating content that can be used to improve AI systems

Atul Rai, CEO & cofounder of video analytics company Staqu Technologies ,

[  atul@staqu.com /  hello@staqu.com ]

says, AI engines can now generate their OWN SIMULATED DATA for different  scenarios – something that is challenging to obtain in the real world

“ For example, consider that one has to train an AI engine to detect VIOLENCE  ON  CAMERA  STREAMS in real time. To do this, we may require data from REAL  VIOLENCE – based incidents, which would be cumbersome or even impossible to get

With the new image / video generation , human interference isn’t necessary to obtain data for training AI

The AI will generate its own TRAINING  DATA  and can train another AI model for various purposes “ , he said

 

 

What problem can this solve ?

Ø  Supreme Surveillance Solution ? …………………..[ 05 Dec 2020 ]


Extract :

With the aim of preventing custodial torture, the Supreme Court on Wednesday ordered for installation of CCTV cameras in the offices of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI), Enforcement Directorate (ED), the National Investigation Agency (NIA) and other agencies, in addition to police stations across the country.


In 2018, the court had passed a judgment for bringing all police stations under the surveillance of the CCTV cameras to check human rights abuses. For this purpose, all states were required to constitute independent committees that could study CCTV camera footages and periodically publish reports of its observations.


Similarly, District Level Oversight Committees,…will be set up in all districts to interact with the SHOs for upkeep of CCTVs and review the footage for any human right violation.

 

My Take :

 

#   We have a total of some 16,671 police stations

#   Recording for say 12 hours / day, amounts to a CCTV footage of 5520 hours / day, to be reviewed by

     the District Committee Members for “ human rights violation

#  From a video / audio, how does a human detect / conclude a “ human rights violation “ ?

#  What spoken words / facial expressions ( captured and reviewed by committee members ), are clear /

    Indisputable proof of violation of life, liberty, equality, dignity ?

#  Altogether there can be 3590 committee member ( 718 districts x 5 persons )

    Can all of them consistently and identically “ decipher human emotions “ ( our clue to violations ) ?

   I cannot escape a feeling that “review“ by humans, will only lead to “ my word against your word “ situation !

#  Is there a NON-HUMAN , technology based method to accurately / consistently / untiringly , decipher those

    human emotions and conclusively establish that,

     Ø  Person being interrogated, definitely displayed emotions of  FRUSTRATION - FEAR – PAIN - ANGUISH ?

     Ø  Police officer interrogating, displayed emotions of ANGER – CONTEMPT – THREAT – HATE – MALICE  ?

 

I urge the Supreme Court to consider,

 

Ø  Integration with those lakhs of CCTV cameras , a ( human independent ) technology-based software which can detect in a VIDEO-RECORDING, the “ human emotions “ listed above and then alert ( by automatically e-mailing that offensive portion of a VIDEO-CLIP ) to Human Rights Commission / District – State level Oversight Committees Members / any other designated persons or agencies , along with full details of :

       #   District / Police Station Number

       #    Name – Rank of interrogating Police Officer

       #    Name / Aadhar ID of suspect being interrogated

       #    Date / Time of interrogation

       #    Suspected Offence for which being interrogated

       #    FIR No

In case such a Technology Platform is NOT available from any Indian company, then the Supreme Court may consider the following provider :

==================================================

 https://www.affectiva.com/how/how-it-works/ “  Human Perception AI.

 Our software detects all things human: nuanced emotions, complex cognitive states, behaviors, activities, interactions and objects people use.

Built on deep learning, computer vision, speech science and massive amounts of real-world data, Affectiva’s technology can detect nuanced human emotionscomplex cognitive states, activities, interactions and objects people use.

==================================================

  CORTICA

This autonomous AI is embedded in next-generation, ultra-scale platforms where understanding images is a critical task


Cortica
, an Israeli company with deep roots in security and AI research, recently formed a partnership in India with Best Group to analyse the terabytes of data streaming from CCTV cameras in public areas.

The companies' combined efforts will provide an array of solutions for combing through the staggering amount of data captured daily through millions of hours of footage shot by drones, surveillance cameras and satellites.

The sheer breath of data surveilled on a given day renders manual examination nearly impossible.

Autonomous AI enables real-time identification of patterns, concepts and situational anomalies to identify potential problems, flag them and improve safety in the process.

==================================================

This Technology Platform should have following features :


Ø  A Mobile App [ WatchDog ? ], using which anyone can select any given Police Station and watch real-

    time live video streaming of the CCTV in the interrogation room .

 

Ø   A portal { www.IndianPoliceStations.gov.in } , where a dashboard displays dynamically, number of

     viewers ( citizen ) watching, each of the 16,671 police stations . In-charge of a Police Station would get

     to know this number and get motivated to conduct the interrogation in a humane / polite manner

 

Ø    An inbuilt “ Language Translation Software “, since ( presumably ), interrogating officer is most likely

      to be using the language of the person being interrogated. Citizen watching live streaming should be

     enabled to understand the dialogue taking place

Extract :

 

I am acutely conscious that in another 25 years, no one will search for "INFORMATION" on Google - Yahoo - MSN etc. They will enter their current / expected "problem" in a hand - held device and receive readymade "solution / answer / advice" in milli-seconds !

 

Till then, you may search - and may be find, solutions to some of your problems here.

Added on  11  July  2022 :


The Future of Search  / Mark Williams  /  24 July 2019

Extract :


On this basis we can conclude that The future of search will likely be led by any products, technology and services that are able to resolve consumers problems quicker and easier than those around today.


Or there could be a situation where you could ask a search engine to “Send the directions to Tom’s house to my car” and the search engine would respond “Sending the driving directions to Tom’s house to your car”. Thereby saving valuable time when you get into your vehicle.



Search will be more personal 

Search engines are currently undergoing a transformation, and this is related to their definition. 

At a basic level they are designed to return content from a database based on the search query the user has inputted. 

However, for them to develop any further in the future a transformation needs to occur. 

That is in additional layers of Contextual understanding and personalisation for the user. 

With this change we will see a move away from search engines and towards personal assistants. 

A move away from returning content from a database and towards seeking resolution for your problems.


 Technologies such as Google Assistant, Amazon Alexa, Apple’s Siri and Microsoft’s Cortana are all in their infancy but will eventually power everything around us. Think Google.com taking us straight to a conversation with Google Assistant or Alexa being served to you rather than Amazon.com and you are close to the possibilities of what may happen. 


This level of deep personalisation will require users to be comfortable giving away this personal data for a better service. However, based on historical reference, consumers will see the value of doing this if it ultimately assists them.

Present


Following is a screen-shot ( taken in June 2022 ) of my page from Personal.ai


It is still a “ work in process “, where :


#   from my blogging site (www.hemenparekh.in), I have uploaded my“

     Digital Content “comprising 30,000+ documents which I have created

     over past 60 years and Personal.ai has turned these into 82,496

      “ Memory Blocks “

     

#   before long, I would invite my friends / colleagues / anyone, to visit

     my page and pose “ questions “ to my very own / personal “ artificial

     intelligence “ – and get “ answers “ !

      May be in course of time, visitor is enabled to “ rate / rank “ my

      answers , providing a kind of “ Universal Feedback Loop “ , from

      which my personal AI will learn and improve ( crowd-sourcing of

      intelligence ? )

I am trying to persuade :


#  Joe Ward  ( founder – IKININC )

#  Suman Kanuganti  ( founder – Personal.ai )

-       to collaborate to turn my photo ( in the diagram above  ) to jump

        out  of the device-screen , in the form of a 3D Volumetric

        Hologram


Visitors ( 10 years from now, when I am certainly going to be dead –

being 89 now ), will be enabled to engage in a conversation with my

Holographic Digital Avatar ( ala Star Wars ) - in my own voice too !


I have a dream of perpetuating myself . In this I am not alone . It is a

dream of ( possibly ) every human to achieve immortality
