An AI Software Able To Detect And Count Plastic Waste In The Ocean
It is both very clever and simple and you could use this same model for many image classification applications. FMMLs Odei Garcia-Garin et al. from the University of Barcelona have developed a deep learning-based algorithm able to detect and quantify floating garbage from aerial images. They also made a web-oriented application allowing users to identify …
Here’s Why Robots Are Actually Going To Increase Human Employment
Contrary to popular fears about job losses, the World Economic Forum predicts that automation will result in a net increase of 58 million jobs. About two-thirds of the jobs transformed by automation will become higher-skilled, while the other third will be lower-skilled. We can learn from other historical transformations in the 1900s, including the mechanization …
